Simple Spotless Skin Spot Fighting Review!

Lately my skin has been awful I don't know if a product I have used has caused it to break out but it definitely wasn't great! It was the worst my skin has been for a long time! So I decided I would try give Simple a try as I have heard so much about this brand but never been one to give it a try. I saw that they had something which was suppose to help with blemishes instantly. I read the reviews and as they were all good I thought why not give it a go. They were also on offer at half price which was an added bonus. The products I tried from this range were;

Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash it is said that with this product you should be able to see results from the 1st day of using it, which I 100% agree with as the redness in my spots had gone down and they were starting to fade. I'm glad I decided to try this product when my skin was really bad so I could give a full opinion on if it worked etc which it did! I am still using it but I will definitely be repurchasing this product. RRP £2.49 (this is with a third off on Superdrug)









I also saw the Simple Spotless Skin Spot Zapper which I wasn't going to originally get but with my skin being so bad I wanted practically everything just to try and reduce them down. According to this product it is suppose to help reduce spots within 4 hours of them appearing, like who wouldn't want a product that does this?! When I first tried this product I had a freshly clean face after using the face wash and you could feel it working as it tingles when you apply it to the affected areas. This is definitely a quick alternative if you have a new spot appearing, this might have worked faster for me if I had this when my spots first appeared but I didn't. After using it though the next day I saw a big difference which I'm guessing is from both of these products. RRP £3.65 (this is with a third off on Superdrug)

If you have had a bad break out then I definitely recommend this product for you, it has helped to take the redness down in my spots dramatically! Or if you suffer from acne or spot prone skin then this should really help your skin. Simple products are suitable for all skin types even sensitive so they don't cause no irritation to your skin. From this being my first time using Simple products I will definitely be getting more as they aren't badly priced either.

Have you got any products that you can recommend for bad break outs? Let me know in the comments!

Freedom Pro Contour Palette


Contour palettes are being hyped about a lot in make up whether it's the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, Kat Von D Light and Shade Palette or the NYX Contour Palette. There is so many on the market now and recently I have been loving contouring! I was in Superdrug and came across a brand which I have never heard of but I knew it was new to Superdrug which is Freedom Cosmetics who aim to give you good high end products with a drug store price, they have a lot of beauty products which can be aimed at make up artists such as a brow bar similar to the Anastasia Beverly Hills one which has every shade you could possibly need.

I however fell in love with their Pro Contour Palette (buy it here) they do this in either a cream formulation or powder which both are only £10. I went for the powder one as I feel like I am much better at applying powders over cream products. In the palette you get 6 shades altogether 2 x Matte Highlighters, 1 x Shimmer Highlighter and 3 x Matte Contour Shades.


The variety of contour shades are amazing if you want a light, medium or dark contour or if you want to mix two of them. I noticed when I first used these they are VERY pigmented, trust me. I needed to do a hell of a lot of blending to reduce down the amount of product which I had put on as I wasn't expecting it to be so pigmented. A little definitely goes a long way!

With the higlighting shades I haven't really used the end shimmer highlighter but that is also very pigmented it has a very cool undertone to it and is again very pigmented. The middle highlight shade reminds me of the Ben Nye Banana Powder which I use this under my eyes to set my concealer and it works amazingly to prevent any creasing under my eye during the day. The first highlight shade in the palette is very skin toned for me it just being a little lighter than my foundation. I use this just below my contour so it makes my contour a little more prominent but not too much.

With the kit you get a Pro Strobe Brush which is ideal for contour, it is similar to the Nars Ita brush and the brushes you get when you purchase Benefit Hoola Bronzer etc. With it is being very slim it allows you to focus on certain points easily so you can pack the product on and then blend it out easily. This would also be ideal if you like to bake with your powder, if you like to use the technique which I have seen Jaclyn Hill use a lot when she bakes her powder under her contour. This is also ideal for people who are new to contouring and highlighting as the box shows you where to apply the different powders to get the best out of them.

Have you tried this? Do you know any good contouring and highlighting palettes? Let me know in the comments!

Until Next Time,

Sales, Sales and More Sales! Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of my Christmas sales haul if you haven't read part 1 then click here to view it! If you're wondering why two posts then yes you're correct I bought too much for just one post! So lets continue finding out my bargains!

FeelUnique had a good winter sale on selected beauty items where you could get up to 50% off! Which if you love make up as much as me then this is definitely a win for you! I decided to take the plunge and got the Gwen Stefani Palette by Urban Decay I have heard so much about this palette all positives and I agree with every single thing said, it's amazing! I will be doing a separate post on just this so keep a look out for that! Another thing was the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner in the shades Perversion and Demolition. These eyeliners are amazing they do not move all day which is something I always had a problem with when it came to eyeliners. RRP £15.50 but I got them with 10% for £13.95. I then got a top up of a concealer which I have used forever which is the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory.


I didn't get much from Superdrug I was a bit late to grabbing the bargains on this one as I was only really bothered about the Zoella and Tanya Burr range which most of it was sold out before the sales, luckily I did get my hands on the fizz bar trio for only £2.99 and the awesome drawsome for only £25 which is amazing as this was £50! Sadly I didn't get all of the Christmas range they brought out but I got a majority which I am happy about.


Boots was amazing I again missed out online for some of the good deals such as Soap and Glory, luckily I was able to get my hands on the things which I missed out on online! I managed to pick up the Limited Edition The Whole She-Bang Gift Set which I did mention in my gift guide for her post, this retailed at £60 and I managed to pick it up for £30 which is insane especially for the things you get. I got the body butter wheel which has 5 travel size body butters along with the flake away foot scrub too which only cost me £8 and the tin of eyeliners which you got five eyeliners in for £7 which I love Soap and Glory's waterproof smoulder khol eyeliners these are my most used eyeliners! The colours you get in the set are black, brown, blue, purple and green.

I also got some bits from Victoria Secret but I am still waiting for this to be delivered so I will give this another separate post as I do have quite a lot which I got online as well as instore.

Let me know if you picked up any goodies in the comments!

(ps sorry about the pictures I had to find them online as the photos I had have disappeared and all my stuff has been put away now.)

Until Next Time,
