Ziaja skincare - *Review*

Hello everyone, hope everyone is keeping on top of their skincare regime, I know I am, thanks to this absolute savior duo!

I received these two beauties at a blogger event in Dublin earlier in September. I'm always quite skeptical when trying new skincare products as the majority of them make my skin break out or effect it quite badly, as I suffer from Rosacea, So I decided to give them a whirl.

Natural Olive Micellar Water - This bottle is Paraben, colourant and fragrance free and its also Hypo-allergenic which is JUST what I need! Its key ingredients are glycerin , olive oil and pro-vitamin B5 which shocked me! And no alcohol too!
This water is used not only to remove makeup to also to add moisture to your skin, due to the added ingredient of Olive oil, this will soften your skin and soothe any irritations you may have. This can be used on the most sensitive of skin and I will definitely be re-purchasing this!
Score: 9/10

Natural Olive Cream - Another astounding find! Moisturiser is the one thing that always makes my skin flare up, so I took a real chance with this, and I found that it has been working wonders on my skin. This cream frightened me a tad because the texture is so rich and creamy, that's usually a bad sign for anyone who suffers with Rosacea, but as I applied it, it felt heavenly,you only need the tiniest dot and it gets to work straight away. Again because of the added olive oil, this cream softens skin, prevents dehydration and makes skin baby smooth. I would definitely recommend this if you have dry skin or suffer from Rosacea .
Score: 10/10

€1.99 Burts Bee's dupe from Aldi

So, i popped my little bum into Aldi today to buy exciting stuff such as Chicken and Lettuce..living the high life.
 As I turned over to read the ingredients it was to my absolute delight that I discovered there were NO demons lurking in the darkness! Just great and soothing ingredients such as Shea butter and coconut oil! And is also packed with vitamin E! 
It soothes your lips, it smells amazing, made with only natural ingredients AND its Irish! All the way from Mayo to be exact! So Whats not to love about this? Much cheaper and better than buying Burt's Bee's in my opinion! Why not give this a try, save money, your skin, and the environment with this gorgeous pot that leaves lips sumptuously soft and utterly kissable

 As i turned the corner this little tin caught my eyes! And for only €1.99 how could it not interest me! I then found out it was made with beeswax! Which is so beneficial for you skin. So I instantly wanted to run to the counter and buy it! But i then I remembered.. Cheap lipbalms usually have hidden horrors awaiting to be discovered such as Alcohol and petroleum, which are well known to dry out the top layer of skin on your lips aswell as being a burden to the ECO system.
