I can't even say the word 'influencer' without simultaneously rolling my eyes and smirking. It brings to mind certain 'internet personalities' (without using the icky word 'influencer' there's not really any other way to describe them as they seem to be devoid of any actual talents other than getting dressed, putting on make-up and taking selfies) who dominate Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube (although I suppose some of them are MUA's) and Twitter, proliferating retouched pictures of garish designer handbags, shoes that I wouldn't expect to see outside of a strip joint, and faces so flawless, poreless and highlighted that they look like human tin foil. It's #makeupgoals this, #couplegoals that. YAWN. Apparently, if you don't own more high-end make-up than a SpaceNK or have a Ken doll-like boyfriend who spends as much time in the mirror as you, you're not #goals. Or maybe you're not a #gowl, at least that's my opinion. Wh

So, I'm finally ready to give you my thoughts on the Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Toner. As I mentioned in my review on the Clarins Daily Energizing Wake-Up Booster, I've had these two since September 16th, so I've been using both for a month. I was comfortable giving a review on the Daily Energizing Booster after two weeks, given the nature of the product, but wanted to hold off a  bit on the Exfoliator until I was sure.   Just for some backgroud - I've been using Alpha H Liquid Gold (review here ) since December 2016 - I received a 50ml bottle in the M§S Beauty Advent Calendar my Mom got me for Christmas. Up until then I had been suffering from redness, irritation and texture around my jawline that nothing would shift. I had exacerbated the problem by well-meaningly scrubbing my face regularly with Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask and GlamGlow FlashMud Brightening Treatment, and had actually worsened it. I had tried an acid toner before from La Roche Posay

I have a confession to make - before I bought this oil back in March I wasn't regularly using a facial oil. It wasn't that I didn't like them, it was more that I didn't think I needed one - I was using Kiehl's Overnight Hydrating Mask as an overnight treatment and didn't think anything else was necessary. Let's just say I've now changed my tune. The EH addiction is real😅 Emma Hardie first came to my attention through Caroline Hirons when she raved about the now cult product Moringa Cleansing Balm back in , I believe, 2015. My mom bought me one for Christmas and I haven't looked back since - I'm on my 3rd jar of this incredible balm cleanser and see it being in my cleanser arsenal forever. I have reviewed it in my post on my favourite cleansers here . So in love was I with this cleanser that I knew I had to try more from this brand. I went onto FeelUnique France and ordered a new Moringa Balm as I was running out and panicking about it,
