When the heck? It’s Spring already!!! I swear I just wrote a
blog about it being the beginning of August. Where have I been? It totally
feels like I just skipped a whole month.
But anyways let’s pretend my brain hasn’t gone MIA and let’s
start September with me telling you all about how much I got to spoil myself by
buying some new skincare products because I guess I don’t want to spend my
money on clothes because all the sales on winter stock is everywhere and I just
can’t resist!
Some great advice from my mum that she’s given me and
something that has just stuck when I’m out shopping is if you want to spend
money, like I mean SPEND MONEY (if you still didn’t get that, it means pricey,
expensive, great quality, worth your money’s worth) there are 2 things you should spend it on,
that is anything that goes on your skin, your make up, skincare, creams etc and
shoes and I’m not talking about those fancy heels ladies contrary to what you
may think but shoes that support your feet. Why?
The skin: A lot
of people take young skin for granted, by not moisturizing, not cleansing
properly because we’re young and although we don’t see any effect now, it will
happen eventually. I personally do believe as well that you don’t want things
that are cheap that is most likely going to give you some sort of reaction and
you never really know what are in these products.
The shoes: Shoes
are so important especially if you’re standing up all day or moving around,
going for a run, you need something that will support not only your feet, your
ankles, your knees all the way to your back. You’d be surprised with how much
pain you can get from just wearing the wrong shoes. Trust me, I’ve been there,
running with shoes that don’t have gel on the bottom really took a toll on my
knees, especially because I was running everyday for 2 hours.
Back to my skincare..
I always thought that I didn’t really need to spend too much
money on skincare, all your cleansing, masks, exfoliating. I’m very lucky to
have good skin and drinking lots of water helps. So I decided you know what I
want a skincare that’s good for me just to brighten my skin, get rid of the
dark circles, the occasional pimple because with the hotter season coming up,
my skin is going to hate it. I’m a sweater, so mix sweat with stress from
knowing you’re going to get pimples and the oil and BAM! It’s pimples galore
with pores the size of Jupiter, gross.
What I’m loving at
the moment is the skincare range by Benefit.
Although I’ve only just started using it, I can tell you that
anybody who finds creams irritating and heavy and sometimes you just don’t want
to apply it because you get that dragging feeling and overall you just feel
uncomfortable so you don’t put it on, it’s like exercise, sometimes it makes
you uncomfortable so you don’t want to do it.
With Benefit total moisture facial cream, it’s just so light
but it has all the moisture you need. This particular one doesn’t contain any
sunscreen so it’s a great day and night cream. It’s also perfect before you
apply your makeup just by adding that extra moisture your skin might need and
the smell is unbelievable. It’s so fragrant and you just want to put it on.

I didn’t realize how much I’ve blogged so I do have other
products by Benefit which I will probably put up in a separate post, because
you know any short attention span people, like me are not going to sit here
reading this, I mean my bottom is sore just from sitting here typing.
When I purchased this product I wasn’t too worried about the
price, this one is 48.2g and I paid $59 for it, which I thought was fine because
you literally don’t even need too much moisturiser. I would honestly say it’s
worth it.
Anyways I am going to enjoy the rest of this amazing sunny
day here in Australia, I promise to have more Benefit skincare products I
bought up here, sometime, soon, I hope. =) Love yous, if that’s even a word.
