I’m no beauty blogger, but I’m very partial to a bit of pampering. No matter how rushed I am in the morning I always find time to wash my face properly and put on concealer and a bit of blush. It’s like my armour for the day, and it’s armour I really need since becoming a new mum again and surviving on very little sleep.
There are a few products I’ve found really helpful in battling the tired dry skin and under-eye shadows. As well as Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser (LOVE) I’ve been using the toner too, plus the Instant Lifting Face Cream and Revive Eye Contour Cream from TEN which have helped with the dark circles.
I’ve also recently discovered some rather lovely moisturising cream which was actually meant for my baby. Sophie La Girafe have branched out to skincare (who knew?!) and their baby face cream is GORGEOUS. It’s actually my new favourite moisturiser, but don’t tell the baby.
What beauty buys do you treat yourself to? Any recommendations to share?

Disclosure: Thanks to TEN and Sophie La Giraffe for sending me samples to try.
I watched to the end….
get you coming over all Cali. Total fan of Liz Earle, the brightening treatment mask is v good. My recommend back to you. It’s a 2 min thing, so would totally work for you at the moment.
You look very well – so clearly it’s all working.
Ooh thanks for the tip. Am going to invest in some of that next week. Need all the help I can get at the moment!
Oh I think I need all of that by the bucketload – I definitely still have new baby face, and I think you’re looking amazing!! I’m really tempted to try the Sophie skincare, it sounds lovely, especially as most ordinary products disagree with my skin.
I really feel like I should try the Liz Earle range, I’ve heard such good things. I did notice that Sophie la Giraffe had branched out into skincare and I always think those frenchies know a thing or two about skincare too 😉
It’s really very lovely. Once you’ve tried it it’s difficult to go back!
Really enjoyed watching your vlog and you look amazing so those products must be working!! Going to keep them on my “must pick up” list post baby

Definitely Laura – you’ll deserve a treat once baby is here! x
I too have a great love of the Liz Earle cleanser but after a while found it a tad too expensive. Whilst searching for a replacement I had a recommendation for the Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser – it’s about half the price usually (£7ish I think) and was on sale recently for about £3! It smells fruitier (is that a word? 🙂 well it is now…) than Liz Earle but as far as I can tell works the same (I’ve been using for about two months). I also love the Boots Youth Maintain Night Cream – it smells delicious and leaves my skin super soft. The day cream rocks too!
Ooh great tip, thank you! I’ll have to try that one out. x
For about twenty years now I’ve used Olay daily fluid with SPF. I feel sooo old having used the same product for that long but if it ain’t broke…
True – I’m a sucker for a new beauty product though, even though I always go back to my old faithfuls.
