Welcoming Autumn...

...with a Melt Candle in (one of) my favourite scent :-)
- Saddle, rich woods and spices.

All Melt candles have little beads on a silver wire wrapped around them 
with a few words to encapsulate the scent.

"As the wind swept over the saddle,
it caught it's richness and warmth,
turned it into a 1000 different fragrances 
and scented the world".

Wishing you all an Awesome Autumn.....

MD Formulations Review

As promised, I said I would report back about how I went on with 

I have been really good and washed my face EVERY night
 (I know, I know, dirty mare!)


The Face Wash leaves skin squeaky clean - it said you would have a mild temporary tingling sensation - it stings - still. I have some left and will use it up.

Glycare Lotion applied after cleansing, again it said temporary tingling. Stings - still!

Hydrate Moisturiser - I had to use quite a bit of this product as my skin was thirsty and so it was gone much quicker than everything else, plus it was a minute bottle to start with.

Moisture Defence Eye Cream - lovely product, sank in nicely. Need.To.Use.More.I.Am.44!

Sun Protector - I  like the lightness of this product, didn't seem to block pores or cause me any more problems which is what happened over Summer. May buy this again.

Clearing Complex - Stings!! LOL!. Only need to use a small amount and I only use in the evening as it does say that if it is too strong use once daily.

The bottom line is that this kit did what I wanted it to. 
My skin is definitely clearer and smoother. 

But, I have learnt that at my age this was too strong for my skin - it was thirsty! 
It was stingy!
I will use it up though, don't like waste :-)

Would I use MD Formulations again?
Yes, definitely, just not this kit.

Now I'm off back to my skincare of choice Dermalogica.
My local college is open again and I can buy there slightly cheaper than elsewhere :-)

What's your skincare of choice?

My Friend's Home

 Just to show where I take off to chill! 
To listen, feel, smell, peruse, read, talk, eat, drink & sleep!
The most restful place.....

 

          Imagine collecting these on a bike ride at the road side....
we enjoyed, nuts, figs & blackberries too!


Love the simplicity of this outdoor shower - super rustic!


  Steed for the week...nice to just meander along the many canals, 
drinking in my surroundings thinking of nada!


Meet April! She's a Coton de TulĂ©ar - not to be confused with a Bichon!
How could I leave out this little face? X


Happy, happy weekend!
