Hope you’re all having an amazing Sunday. What are you plans for today’s self care Sunday? I just want to thank everyone for all the love I received from my previous post I was so overwhelmed with the support and kind words. It really meant a lot to me 🤍 So, I want to talk about this product, the lovely @poofie.peej introduced this on her post a few months back, and she also added a link to purchase this for £5. I’m so glad I did get this, because it was amazing, I genuinely felt like I had dunk my face in a bowl of milk. The @laneige_us cream skin refiner is a toner that deeply hydrates the skin, it also strengthens the skin barrier and repairs it too. When I used this in my pm routine, it left my skin feeling so moisturised before I had even gone in with my serums and moisturisers. What I loved more, is that it was like a moisturiser and toner mixed in one, and it melts into the skin like butter. (That’s the best way I can describe it okay) 🤓 It’s super great for dry skin gals and even those that suffer with a combination, I think it helps balance it out. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I used this mostly in the PM, but I did use it in the mornings for when my skin looked dull and needed extra hydration 🥰 I definitely will be buying the full size, just need to look for a decent site that sells the big bottle, but first I will be finishing and using up the stash of toners in my collection before I go and purchase this 😱 Thank you Priya, for introducing yet another amazing skincare product in my life. You a real G! 🤓 Also, big shoutout to @bekibeauti I love supporting small brands, these cotton pads really are amazing, and they are environmentally friendly too, I am super obsessed with my cleanser pad, so worth the money and the quality is amazing.

I don’t think I’m quite finished with posting my Harry Potter tour pictures 🤪 . I wanted to talk about something different on my page today. I was always fit and healthy, but after I got married and came back from ummrah in 2018, suddenly I was hit with severe pain and severe bleeding. Which wouldn’t stop, I had an op, I had a laparoscopic procedure done, I’ve tried countless hormone drugs, & pills but nothing has helped, till this day I am still suffering from an illness which you cannot see. I’m on a lot of pain meds, even oramorph. It’s made me lose my job, my independence, my appetite, my hair, my sanity and the only thing I’ve gained from it is my weight. I was a healthy size 8 2 years ago. I never openly discuss this or my physical & mental state, cause it’s seen as such a stigma to openly talk about periods in the south Asian society. But you need to raise awareness. If I’m active, out & about, even cooking or cleaning for one day, then that’s it, I’ll be bed bound for the next week. I’m constantly tired, constantly weak, I black out from the pain being so bad, I lose consciousness, to the point I’ve had days where I’ve blacked out, hit my head and had a black eye, or even broken my hand. The pain is so severe and constant, it’s said to be the same as contraction pains. Hence why I feel like I’m giving birth. There’s a long process of being fully diagnosed with endometriosis & dealing with it. There is no cure. I’ve been to the nhs where they’ve looked at me and told me that I’m too “young” to be having these problems.! I’ve been private and I’ve tried everything. I’ve learnt a lot of the last year and a half. And come to terms with is that my struggle is temporary and Allah has a plan for me. So whatever religion you are, please keep me in your prayers. Do you suffer in silence? . #imonafwonders #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #blogger #blog #bloggerstyle #bloggersofinstagram #bloggerlife #lifestyle #likeforlike #instablogger #instablog #discoverunder5k #discoverunder3k #harrypotterworld #harrypotter #photography #beautyblogger #lifestyleblogger #gryffindor #warnerbrosstudios #gringottsbank #endometriosiswarrior #instabeauty #bloggervibes

So, you all know I was planning to start my “new feed” but I wasn’t liking the pictures I took, so I’m waiting for some sunshine before I retake my new feed shots. 🙄 So here’s a product review. The @beautypie Super Retinol, you all know what retinol is, so I don’t need to go into that, I started using the Indeed Labs one, and it had a small percentage of retinol in it, so it took a while to notice a difference. I then purchased this one from @beautypie as I’ve heard so many amazing reviews. I applied this, and the texture was so soft however the fragrance was a bit weird. 🤓 As it contains 1% of retinol in the product. I only used it once a week, as I was trying to ease into it. At first I didn’t think this was causing me the breakouts, I thought it was something else. But I was using it for six weeks and realised that every time I used this, I’d breakout. Then I got told by a few of the girls that my skin was purging and any underlying spots I had were coming to the surface and to give it a few more weeks. Which I did, but my oh my, I carried on breaking out so severely, my skin was getting red, I had rashes, and really painful spots. I had to stop using it, and allowed a chance for my skin to heal. I’ve now gone back to the Indeed labs retinol reface and will look into using a higher dose of a retinol once my skin has adjusted. This was a no from me. Which is sad, but it goes to show, just cause everyone else loves a product, does not mean you will love it too 🤭 What’s retinol product are you using now? And what would you recommend? 🥰 . #imonafwonders #beautyblogger #beautyblog #makeupblogger #skincareblogger #skincare #skincareproducts #retinol #beautypie #blogger #blog #bloggerstyle #bloggerlife #bloggersofinstagram #instabeauty #instablog #productreview #makeupandbeautyhoarders #likeforlike #likeandfollow #skincareaddict #photography #discoverunder5k #discoverunder3k #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #skinstagram
