~A little Something~

I love cute little things that decorate my room!
And i was browsing..well more like running, through WHSmith last saturday looking for a mothers day card, 
when i spotted this cute little pen pot for only £1.99! 
I snatched it up, because i just knew it would look fabulous on my desk!
Ahh so cute!


I knew i had to buy it because it would look so cool on my new(ish) desk!
And i wasn't wrong, its a lovely cheap addition to my desk space :)

~ L'oreal Paris, Perfect Clean Foaming Gel wash Review~

 ~L'oreal Paris, Perfect Clean Foaming Gel wash ~

£5.10
The bottle claims it's a: "Foaming Gel wash-with salicylic acid-, Purifying for blemish prone skin."
And that's all the entire bottle says..
So instantly it's a very wishy washy explanation of what this will do for you. 
I picked this up from superdrug with high hopes, i'd seen good reviews on it, because of the scrublet it was supposed to give a deep clean.
I used it a few times before realising that i hated it.
The scrublet just didn't exfoliate or scrub my skin good enough, because of my very oily skin i need deep exfoliation to prevent severe breakouts, and due to this not so great scrublet i broke out very badly. 
The salicylic acid, is great for oily skin, so i thought i'd be onto a winner, but this clear gel, with a funny smell, just didnt clean my skin good enough to make it into my skin care routine. 
I was deeply disappointed with the combination of a scrublet and the gel.
I like the Idea behind it, but the execution wasn't so hot. 


Nice packaging for sure!
Scrublet.
It may work for much less oily skin!
But for me it didn't work so good :)
