Beauty must haves | skin care edition

Looking after your skin is a must, and there are so many factors into looking after your skin that it can be a daunting process, but with these items, it will make life a hell of a lot easier, and this is without breaking the bank.

{all costs are in New Zealand dollars}

The most import ones are water and sleep, I know you hear this a lot, but it's true, skin gets dehydrated very quickly, so water is a must, and without sleep, the under-eye bags are going to get really bad and very hard to cover up.

A good makeup remover: I personally use the cleansing micellar water with rosehip by Essano. It costs around $13 for 400ml, and I use it every day and still have leftovers after a full year of use; you don't need a lot because it goes a long way.

night cream: I have very combined sensitive skin, so I use two different night creams, both by Essano, I use rosehip moisture restore night cream for $23, and I also use the collagen repair night cream for $25

serum booster: I use the relax sleep tight serum booster. It costs $5 from Kmart

cleansing products: my favourite is the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser it is $7.90 from net pharmacy

toner: I use the Thursday plantation tea tree and witch hazel honer, and I get 100ml for $10 at lie pharmacy

exfoliator: when it comes to exfoliators, it can be so hard to pick one that is good, but you really need to think about your skin type because you don't want to aggravate the skin if you have very sensitive skin; I personally use the st I've apricot blemish scrub which is about $10 at the warehouse

moisturiser: I currently don't have any moisturiser left for my skin, but I have tried a few in the past, and the next one I will be trying is the st Ives renewing collagen and elastin moisturiser, which you can get for $10 at the warehouse

eye cream: I use the essano visible lift eye creme, which is $18 from the warehouse, but when it comes to the eyes, you really don't want to be really cheap, in my opinion

Face oil: I really don't be cheap when it comes to my face oils, and it shows because I use Kora Organics By Miranda Kerr Noni Glow Face Oil 10ml, which is $39 from Sephora; you can get cheaper ones.

Introduction to me

Hi everyone. My name is Phoebe; I live in the countryside of New Zealand, but I was actually born in Tasmania, Australia, on June 30th 2003. I am the creator of the Youtube channel and blog Beautyqueen and the blogs Endometriosis and Phoebe M.C. Blog . I have been writing my whole life, but in 2020, I self-published my first novella,  Wrongful Love , and I am now working on a ton more novels and novellas. I have been a YouTuber for many years. I started my YouTube career with a small YouTube channel which I named Phoebe Ann; after a while, I realized I needed a new start. I soon decided to post my final video and start anew with a new channel and new me, which has become the successful channel that people know and love; with over 1,000 subscribers, I’m excited to bring new content throughout many more years to come.
