💚 Do you have a favourite Mixsoon product? 💚
(Unpaid ad - PR)
I was sent an amazing selection from the brand which I’ve been trying out, and I put together a little skincare routine using some of their key products:
💚 Bean Cleansing Oil
💚 Centella Cleansing Foam
💚 Centella Asiatica Toner
💚 Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence
💚 Galactomyces Ferment Essence
💚 Bean Essence
What I really like about Mixsoon is how they have such a great array of single-ingredient essences that are so lightweight, they layer beautiful and allow you to fully customise your routine.
My favourites from the selection I was sent are the Bean Essence, the Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence and the Centella Asiatica Toner, all of which are amazing for soothing irritated skin.
💚💚 Right now there are some cracking deals on Mixsoon over at YesStyle (link in bio) including some minis of the iconic essences for around a fiver of each, plus, don’t forget to use code BEAUTYGEEK1 for extra savings!! 💚💚

Thank you everyone for your amazing kindness re my post about my son, Teddy; I’m still working my way through all your lovely messages - this is such a wonderful community and I always feel so lucky to be a part of it!

Today I’m sharing with you some of the fabulous breakout-busters from Mario Badescu; a brand I have a soft spot for as I imported their Drying Lotion years and years ago, before it was available in the UK, and I remember patiently awaiting the delivery, back when everything took absolutely ages.
Let’s have a look at the wonderful selection of goodies they sent me, and see if you can spot the deliberate mistake I made during filming…
💚 Gentle Foaming Cleanser: this is a perfect, basic cleanser that lightly foams without stripping the skin, whilst still leaving it feeling clean and fresh.
💚 Repairing Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid: I have to tread carefully with Hypochlorous Acid as it breaks me out (yes, really, my skin is that ridiculous) but I love using it to gently clean my beauty tech devices like my LED mask!
💚 Facial Spray with Aloe Herb & Rose Water: light, refreshing and fragrant - this is an ideal step for hydrating skin through your skincare routine.
💚 Drying Patches: exactly how pimple patches should be! Extremely thin and full of skincare goodies that’ll help speed-up the clearing process.
💚 Drying Lotion: use the patches in the day and the lotion at night; this will basically suffocate the bacteria and kill the spot in its tracks.
💚 Do you have a favourite Mario Badescu product? I’ve linked to both their main site and Boots, since the latter is offering some really decent deals on the brand at the mo 💚

👀 Two weeks ago, I had my first filler injection treatment - can you guess where? 👀 (poll below)
(Unpaid ad - treatment won via giveaway)
I have been wanting to have this area lightly filled for quite some time and when I won the giveaway with @surgicareaesthetics I thought I’d grab the opportunity to get it done.
I saw the fabulous Dr Gakhal who mapped out my face and showed me exactly what needed to be done to achieve the extremely subtle results I was seeking; I then received a total of 1ml of filler via a fairly painless canula that was then massaged into position and I was very happy with the results!
Today I look absolutely knackered which isn’t helping things, but I would love to know if you can tell where the filler was put - vote in the poll below and I’ll share an update soon!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the ZIIP HALO lately, so I thought I’d share a quick trio of tips to improve your HALO experience!
(Unpaid ad - PR)
The question I get asked the most is, “is it worth it?” and I absolutely believe it is. It’s an investment and I totally get that, but it delivers consistent results and tackles so many different issues - if you’re going to invest in just one bit of beauty tech, make it the HALO!
Don’t forget my code - SASCHAZIIP - gets you 10% off the whole site too.
I’m very happy to answer any questions so please always feel free to either post them here or DM me.

Did you know that L’Oreal has so many amazing brands under their umbrella?!
(Unpaid ad - PR)
A couple of months ago I attended a really fun event, focusing on all the amazing L’Oreal brands and what they had to offer on the TT shop. Not only was the event a fantastic way to find out what was new with each of the brands, we also got to take home a goody bag of dreams, so I thought I’d share it with you today!
I’ve filmed a quick look at all the products included, finished up with the ones I’m most excited to try. See anything you fancy?

Guess who FeedSpot selected as their number one skincare blog??
It has been wonderful seeing everyone sharing their places on the various influencer and blogger lists recently released by FeedSpot, particularly as there are so many of my favourite people on them, so what a joy it was to see my blog take the number one spot on the skincare blog and website list, as well as slotting in at number three on the British beauty blogs list too!
Thank you FeedSpot for the awesome commendation. I’ve linked to both lists in my bio if you fancy checking out all the other amazing creators xx
