PRODUCT REVIEW: Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Cleanser and Mask!



Unfortunately, lately my skin hasn't been at its best...  I have had a few pimples around my nose and chin and some bumps around my upper cheeks... Sooooooo I decided to give this Rapid Clear 2-in-1 a go after watching a beauty guru on youtube (SWalkerMakeup) rave about it on one of her videos!!

So far I have noticed:

    my pimples have shrunk in size and are no longer red;
    the bumps along my cheeks have mostly vanished;
    my t-zone which normally gets slightly oily has balanced out really well; and
    my pores seem to have gotten smaller as well around my chin and nose!

I have found this product to be very gentle on my skin and it has never made my face feel tight or dry after I use it which is really important to me.  I am yet to use it as a facial mask but am anticipating some good results!

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE: Must read books!

One thing about me that you should know is that I read...... ALOT!!!  I love, love, love it!!
If I don't have to do uni stuff or work, I can usually be found lying on my bed with my head in a book.

Generally, I like classic novels - with authors like Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, fantasy/sci-fi novels - with authors like J.K Rowling, Raymond E. Feist, J R. R. Tolkien and Guy Gavriel Kay, and lately i've been very much into the vampire romance novels - with authors like Stephenie Meyer and the ones below!!



Now if I had my first book of this series, it would have been in this photo but as it happens my sister took it away with her and then lost it... so this will have to do...
This is the last novel of the Vampire Academy series (6 novels in total) written by Richelle Mead.




This first book is the beginning of an eight book series called the Black Dagger Brotherhood series - written by J.R. Ward.  



This is the first book of the House of Night series written by P.C and Kristin Cast. 




This book is of a slightly different genre - not being about vampires but immortals!! It is the first of the Immortals series written by Alyson Noel.



Now, if you have read one or some of these novels and enjoyed them as much as I did, you will love the others that you haven't read!!!  They are all amazing and I had many a late nights not being able the put them down!  Give them a go and you won't be disappointed!

Let me know which other series' I should give a go... I love having a list of books waiting to be read! :) xo
