Bye Dry Skin!

As most people suffer with in the winter months, I have been getting a ridiculous amount of dry skin. It makes your make-up look horrible, and is far from attractive. I have bought numerous moisturisers etc. to try help, and they have.. but not as much as I needed it to.

I was out for the day shopping in York yesterday, and as usual I went in to the shop Lush. I was taking a look at the fresh face masks, and one of the staff came over and as they all do, asked if I needed anything. I told her how I was interested in one of the face masks, not for any specific reason, just fancied getting myself one. She was extremely helpful! I told her about my dry skin, and instantly she grabbed the product Oatifix. Oatifix is full of the products which are great for tackling dry skin. She tried some on the back of my hand, and after washing it off after only 1 minute, I could feel a major difference in my skin. This sold it for me.

Later that night I tried the product properly for the first time. I can't say I look at all attractive with it all over my face, and my boyfriend looked at me strangely... but it did the job!! After leaving it on for 10 minutes, and washing it off with warm water, my skin felt and looked amazing and so much better.
I have just applied my foundation for the day, and it has applied so well, and no dry skin is currently visible.
I have never recommended a product so much for anyone with dry skin. After one use, it has made my skin feel and look so much better.

To the woman who works in the York Lush shop, thank you so much for taking the time to explain the product in detail, because it is my new skin life saver.

The pot costs £5.95, and needs to be refridgerated to keep it fresh.

The product smells so nice, and it did amazing things for my skin. I am not saying this will work for everyone as everyone has different skin types; but it worked great for mine and really helped get rid of my dry skin.

Thank you...

In the last hour I just reached 10,000 pageviews, and I just need to say thank you so much to every person who has ever read this blog.
When I first started Beautiful Illusion, I never imagined it reaching 100 pageviews, let alone 10,000, and i'm so grateful for each view I have ever had!
There has been times where I haven't posted as much and thought maybe I should just delete the blog; but days like this make me happy that I haven't and never will.
It's a great feeling knowing over 10,000 people are interested in what I have to say, and I just love receiving comments and emails from viewers asking questions or just letting me know they like my blog.
So thank you to everyone who has helped me reach 10,000.
