A REALLY good face wash.

I'm always on the hunt for a new face wash. And as I have quite sensitive, but sometimes oily skin, it can sometimes be difficult! BUT, I've been using the Clean & Clear Truly Gentle face wash for a good three weeks, and I can honestly say that it's wonderful!

I'm normally quite skeptical when brands claim to be 'gentle' or for 'sensitive skin', as I've had rather a few too many experiences involving the slightest smidgen of product getting in my eyes and it has been extremely, and I mean, EXTREMELY painful. But not so with this!



As a huge fan of water-based cleansing, I use this in the morning and last thing at night after taking off my make up, and it really does what I expect of a simple face wash! It is completely colourless, scent-free, and forms a soapy consistency when massaged into a lather.

*Insert unflattering hand photo here in an attempt to show the consistency*






















So for a couple of pounds, I give this the thumbs up!

My Favourite Accessory.

Okay, so I thought I'd dedicate my first post to without a doubt my favourite type of accessory: watches. I have had my rose gold Michael Kors watch for over 2 years, and I love the versatility of it. At first I was unsure whether it would be deemed acceptable to pair rose gold jewellery with both plain gold and silver jewellery; but 2 years on, I wear my beloved MK watch with almost every outfit and every combination of jewellery under the sun. That's why I love it so much.


















I particularly love the chunky, boyfriend style of watches like this. I have a life long aim to, one day, own a Chanel watch similar to my MK one. However, dreaming aside, I think for now, and indeed the future as far as I can see, I'll stick with this one.

Even now, I still get shamelessly flattered every time somebody compliments it.

The most recent addition to my collection is this. A silver, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch that, like my MK one, I wear all the time. In fact, I think I'm so attached to them both that if it were not so extraordinarily uncomfortable, I'd probably wear them in bed. Yes, I am that sad.


















On that note, all I need is a gold Chanel number to complete the set. Well, keep dreaming...
