The Toner That’s Halted My Floozy-ness

IMG_2103 IMG_2104

You know me when it comes to facial toners and hydrating spritzes – I’ve tried them all – and although there have been some that I’ve liked, there’s been every few that I’ve truly loved, until now. Say hello to the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner, the post-cleanse step that I’ve been using in my routine for the past month or so and absolutely bloomin’ loving. Its recommended use is to be dolloped on a cotton pad and swiped all over the face, a method that I have used in a long while, but I’m enjoying going back to my toner roots.

Here’s the thing, it is a gorgeously gentle toner. It’s alcohol-free and feels almost serum-like. It’s hydrating, but not in a greasy way and it just makes my skin feel refreshed. It also doesn’t break the bank at £15 for a 250ml bottle. Not bad, not bad. It’s one of those formulas that I can just imagine is an all-round people pleaser as there’s just not much to dislike about it. Oily skins will appreciate the fresh feeling and dry skins will like the fact that it feels more like a serum step. There will definitely be another bottle of this in my routine when this badboy runs out…

My top five essentials for spring - layer them up with a pair of jeans for a solid spring look. Save this so you can refer back to the formula: 
- suede loafers (I personally love any that @arketofficial make, so comfortable). 
- denim shirts (this one is @cosstores from @vinted, there are so many good secondhand or vintage ones) 
- knitted vests (brilliant if you’re a knitwear lover in the winter. I like the ones from @arketofficial and @soeur_paris) 
- a trench (there are a million high-street options, although I have a @skallstudio’s one on the brain right now. This one is @toteme) 
- textured bag (check out @mango and @madewell for some high-street options, but @dragon.diffusion do the best range and I love this one from @stagnistudio)

Recreating a spring outfit from last year. Perhaps my AGOLDE’s would have worked better? Something closer fitting? Anyway an improvement I’d say 🙌 Just an idea for if you’re struggling to find something to wear today - have a scroll through your camera roll from a year ago instead.

Always a great day when I get to dig out perhaps my best secondhand purchase ever, this MaxMara swing jacket. Spring has arrived 🙌

…and we’re back 🙌 Left for three nights and came back to even more leaks in the roof (boo!), but blossom on the trees (yay!). Spring has sprung! Just no more April showers please 😅

Got ready this morning and then realised that the majority of what I used is 20% off in the @spacenk spring sale. I’ll link the contents of my makeup bag on stories. Also how do the rest of you people make beauty content in the sun?! I had tears streaming down my face 😂
