Review: 'Pai' Skin Cream

Hello everyone!

I have always had very sensitive skin. When I was younger, I used to have eczema, which is dryness in your skin and rashing, that is extremely itchy, so as a baby, I clearly couldn't. stop. scratching.
Despite it not being as bad now, I'm also allergic to many things that are included in most skin products, such as almond oil, so I have to try and find skin creams and moisturisers that won't irritate my skin, which is harder than you might think.

Whilst researching different skin creams, I came across the company 'Pai'. When looking into their products I saw how they were specifically made for people with all different kinds of skin allergies, and specialised in natural ingredients for all different skin types. I was surprised by how large their range was, as I had never heard of the company before. I decided to buy a moisturiser firstly, as this is what I was desperately searching for. Firstly, I purchased the Chamomile and Rosehip Calming Cream. I bought this cream as I saw that it reduced the risk of irritation and redness, which I occasionally suffer with. I loved it, but once I had used up the whole bottle, I decided to switch and try the Geranium and Thistle Rebalancing Cream as it seemed more suited to my skin.

Now this has to be my one of my favourite skin creams for sensitive skin. It is so moisturising, no matter if you have oily or dry skin, it still leaves your skin feeling smooth and healthy. It also helps a lot with irritation and redness, just like the other cream, but also is free from beeswax and alcohol, so it does not clog up your pores or cause oil imbalances. It also smells absolutely amazing, and makes your skin smell of the product for a long time, which I love. I have re-purchased it three times now, and am nearly done on my third bottle. It is also not too expensive, and if used in moderation, can last a long time. I use it every morning and evening over my whole face, and a bottle lasts me around 2 to 3 months. It is a very good skin cream if you have sensitive skin and don't want to purchase very high-end products, as this bottle was £32.00, which I think is very good for how long it lasts and is definitely worth the result I have received from using it.

The Geranium and Thistle Rebalancing Cream comes in a compact, glass bottle, with a small pump at the top. The box tells you exactly what the product does and what ingredients it contains and how each ingredient benefits your skin. The compactness of the product is amazing as it is easy to store and doesn't take up lots of room like most skin creams I have used before. It also allows you to carry it around easily in your handbag or toiletries bag if you are travelling. Also, the pump at the top is very secure and I have never had the product leak, which other products can do, which I hate because it can waste a lot. The packaging if also very simple and classy, which definitely attracted my attention when browsing the companies products.

Overall, I love this skin cream because it is simplistic but smells incredible and for me, 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. I have seen a clear improvement in my skin since I have started using the products, and it also lasts a long time and is definitely worth the price. I would not only recommend this to someone with sensitive skin or someone who suffers with irritation and redness, I would recommend the brand to people of all different skin types, as the company has a range of products for all different skin types. My only problem with this product it is that now I want ALL of the others to try!

Current Perfume

Hello everyone!

I'm one of those people that can never choose on a certain thing. I am constantly changing my clothing style, and my morning routine, but most of all, my perfume. I think it's so much better to stick with one perfume and have that as your 'scent', that people recognise you for. However, I've not been much good at that, until recently.

About two months ago I was shopping with friends, with birthday money to spend and I just fancied a change, so I went into the store and spent around an hour, just trying to find a perfume I wanted to get and stick to for a long time, and have it as my known-for fragrance. After searching every single scent you could think off and judging perfumes from Chanel to Calvin Klein, I decided to go for Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Despite the boxed packaging not appealing to me, as I feel it's very childish, I tried out the perfume and instantly loved it, so try not to judge it by its packaging.

I am so pleased with my purchase, and as you can see, I've already used quite a bit, especially since this is the largest bottle you can get and I have had around a quarter refilled since purchase. I have to say, I love this perfume. I feel it's more of a Spring/Summer perfume, as it is very sweet and flowery, but I promised myself I would stick to a perfume, so I have continued to use it throughout Autumn and Winter. However, if you want to alternate between a variety of perfumes, I would highly recommend this one for a flowery Spring scent.

The bottle of Daisy is also very durable, but this means that it is quite heavy to carry around with you constantly. Luckily, they do sell a mini version of this perfume that you is small and easy to carry for around £20.  This fragrance also is quite strong, so only a few pumps are needed for the smell to last all day long.
However, I have occasionally alternated from Daisy to Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf. 

I had been recommended Flowerbomb by many people a while ago, so I decided to purchase it and give it a try. I feel that it is less sweet than Daisy, making it more appropriate for Autumn/Winter. However, I can find it a bit strong at times, but this does mean it lasts long, despite giving me a slight headache! I personally love the packaging and design of the perfume, and it is also very small and lightweight, which is perfect to carry around, but also appears to last a long time. I feel that it is definitely worth the cost of around £50.

These perfumes are both in a medium price range, around £50 each. I personally think that they are worth the price and last a long time. However, they must be used in moderation if you want them to last a long time. Nonetheless, I will be re-purchasing both perfumes when I run out, as they are both two of my favourites! I want to experiment with many different perfumes, but I feel as though Daisy will also be my go to perfume. I highly recommend both.
