Hi Everyone!!!
So, this is my first post of 2015!!
I thought today, I would just start off with something simple. I am going to share two of my current favourite drug store items with you.
First, just a disclaimer:
* I am not being paid to promote these items. These are items that I genuinely bought with my own money and items that I genuinely think are good and worth going out to buy.
Any items that DO get sent to me for review in the future will be marked with an astrix (*) next to the name of the item in the title and whenever the item is mentioned in the post. *
Okay, so... I am currently a student at High School and I haven't got a job (although I'm desperately applying) and so any and all products I feature for the foreseeable future will be drugstore. I think this is a good thing though, as you're getting a real review from someone who is completely strapped for cash.
My reviews may be a little few and far between for a while as I don't have the money to be buying and reviewing products every other week. I do hope you enjoy these posts and let me know if there's any particular things you want me to do posts on. I am more than happy suggestions. If there's any, make up looks you want me to do, please let me know but now... on with the post.

Okay, so before recently I didn't have any type of skincare routine. I just splashed a bit of water on my face and that was it. It's only recently that I realised my make up looked awful and the reason was my skin. I bit the bullet, went down to Countdown and bought these two products (all I could afford to buy). Even though this is only two skincare products, they have made a massive difference to my skin and I can honestly say, they work.
The first item I bought was Dove Radiant Skin Face Cleanser and this is for normal skin types. This product has been dermatologically tested.
This product is 100ml and costs NZD$6.49 in Countdown. This is a great cleanser. It makes your face feel so fresh and clean and I noticed my skin was clearer and my pores were smaller within the first few days of using it. I stopped getting massive break outs and I had less red patches. It really works well and especially if you use this with warm water to open up your pores.
The second item I bought was Garnier Moisture Match moisturiser with green tea extract. This product is 50ml and costs NZD$10 at Countdown. Whilst I think this product is a little over priced compared with the Dove Radiant Skin Face Cleanser, it IS a great moisturiser. It smells really lovely and fresh and when you put it on your face, its like your skin is getting a big drink of water. This hydrated my skin so much and - working with the cleanser - helped to minimise the redness on my face, reduce the size of pores and minimise break outs.
I recommend both of these products highly if you are on a very tight budget or are just getting in to skin care and feel like you are in WAY over your head.
I hope you've enjoyed this first post and please let me know what you think.

Lots of love, Lara xx
