Clearasil Ultra 5 in 1 Set | Lisa's Beauty Spot

Clearasil Ultra Set

I suffer with horrendous breakouts, I've used Clearasil since I was 12-13 and it did wonders for my teenage acne. I ran out, so decided to buy some more. I came across these new Clearasil products, Clearasil Ultra 5 in 1 - they reduce oil and shine, unblock pores, even skin tone, remove dirt and exfoliate. 

The first step is the exfoliating scrub, you wet your face and use a 10p size amount of product and scrub it on your face, you wash it off thoroughly afterwards. 

The second step is the wash, you take a 10p size amount of product and rub it on the face, afterwards you wash it off thoroughly. 

You then go over with the pad wipes. These are both the same. Just make sure you don't get them near your eyes, they would really sting. 

I bought these four from Superdrug on a buy one get one free offer. I paid around £11 for these four, which I'm really happy about!

Clearasil is a great product to control breakouts, it says to use it once in the morning and once at night but I only use it at night as it is very strong.

Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Products | Lisa's Beauty Spot

Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Products

I have recently fallen in love with Micellar water. I recently wrote about it here. I'd heard about the Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Products and wanted them instantly. I suffer with very dry skin and these are supposed to be perfect for my skin type, and they are!

This is the Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Water. Which removes all make-up, including waterproof make-up. It's a non greasy formula, which is great for an oil based product. It also cleanses and nourishes the skin. It leaves your face feeling very clean and fresh, which I love!

These are the wipe version of the water, and these leave my skin feeling very clean and fresh, they don't sting and help with my dry patches. You get 25 wipes, these are also non greasy. I love them!

I love both these products, and I recommend them to anyone with dry or sensitive skin! 

Thank you for reading!

Dupes for the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits | Lisa's Beauty Spot

Dupes for the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit

Hey everyone! Now, like me you may have been lusting after the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Sets and have sadly missed out! These things sold out so damn quickly! The first time they came out they sold out completely within thirty seconds! No joke, thirty seconds! That was late last year, the second release sold out within a few hours... Wow. 

I have watched a few YouTube video reviews about this product to see if it's worth the hype, and it seems so - most people seem really impressed with it. They're on eBay ranging from prices £35 to a mad £400. There are of course some on auction, and maybe you'll get a 'bargain' ... Sort of. On eBay USA they range from $31.99 to $1,000... Yes, $1,000! *jaw drops to the ground*

I did some research on dupes of these lip kits, and decided to share with you what I found. I found one for all seven shades (All seven are not pictured, I couldn't find a picture with all seven together.) The shades are called Koko K, Candy K, Posie K, Dolce K, 22, Mary Jo K and True Brown K. All of the liquid lipsticks dry matte and all come with a lip pencil. 

 Koko K

I decided to start with Koko K as it is the lightest shade. Koko K is named after Kylie's big sister Khloe. It is a light pretty pinky nude shade. When I was looking for a dupe for this, I found a few but the best ones are:

NARS Creamy Concealer | Lisa's Beauty Spot

NARS Creamy Concealer in shade Vanilla

My 50th Blog Post!

I bought this lovely concealer from Sephora along with the NARS Sheer Glow foundation. I'd heard good things, and needed a pale concealer that didn't go orange after a few hours. 

This is the second lightest shade, Vanilla. It's a beautiful creamy texture and it glides on a dream. For the application, the product comes with a Doe Foot applicator, which is fantastic for easy application. 

Pro's - 

- It's very high coverage, so you only need the smallest amount, so even though it's expensive, it will last a long time. It's great for covering blemishes and dark circles.

-  It's very easy to blend, which I find great as putting make-up on each day can take quite a lot of energy for me. 

- It lasts a long time, a long lasting concealer these days are a blessing! I cannot be bothered reapplying any make-up so I'm happy about this.

- It comes in wide range of shades, with pink and yellow tones. There are ten shades all together and all of them can be seen here. Like I've said, I'm the shade Vanilla, which is Light 2.

- It's great to travel with, like many concealers it's great travel size, and NARS doesn't disappoint. I travel a lot, so I'm happy with that.

- The packaging is fantastic quality. It looks nice as well.

- It's great to wear on it's own without any foundation. A little bit under your eyes, on your blemishes and a bit of mascara does look quite natural. 

Con's -

- It is, of course quite expensive. £22 for a concealer is on the high end, but it is worth it. 

- The lid does get pretty grubby, which is frustrating. Yes, it can be cleaned with a baby wipe but it can get annoying. If I forget I always worry it's gonna get on my other make-up.

- It can set into fine lines, I am yet to get my hands on a setting spray, I'm going to get the Urbay Decay All Nighter setting spray which fixes this issue (Along with a lot of other make-up issues.

- I don't personally use my Real Techniques sponge to blend this, as I've heard it can make this concealer go kind of patchy and it can move which is so annoying... I've used a smaller brush and that has worked just fine. 

- It sells out fast! ANNOYING! I was lucky.. 

It's on the more pricey side, at £22 but I definitely think it's worth it, it has medium to full coverage and it covers most blemishes and the dark circles under my eyes. (Which is a blessing when you suffer with Chronic Fatigue.) 

It definitely gives your face a wake up. It's not cakey at all. Like all NARS products, the plastic does get dirty quite easily. I will say however, even though it says radiant it definitely is more matte when it dries, which I love - so if you're not looking for a matte finish this isn't the concealer for you.

My final verdict though, I do love it! And I'm glad I bought it. It's become my make-up go to in just a few weeks. It's great, I can wear just this and a bit of mascara if I can't be bothered with a full face of make up, and it looks like my own skin... But without all the spots and dark bags under my eyes. 

Seriously, you need this product. If you get the chance, you should definitely get it!
