Budget vs. Blow it - Vitamin E

When it comes to skin care vitamin E is always a big favourite of mine so I've tried all different skin care products some cheapies and some abit more pricey. 


So to start off I bought SuperDrugs own brand vitamin E radiance moisturizer and eye cream.  This moisturizer isn't my favourite it is more of a day moisturizer rather than night. It isnt very thick and sinks in very quickly and doesnt leave your skin with that hydrated feel. The radiance doesn't do it for me either, it leaves gold blotchy patches across your face, not very appealing. After using this for about a week on a morning my face completely broke out in lots of spots but when I went back to my other moisturized they cleared up.


At the time I was having trouble with hurty sensitive watery eyes. So I needed an eye cream, this eye cream ticked my boxes. I apply by rubbing it between my finger tips then applying it to the eyes outside to inner so no skin gets stretched or distressed. It stops my eyes from being the way that they were quickly. The radiance works kind of like a concealer and disguises black bags slightly. 

 -Photo quality change, sorry-


After not being so impressed with super drugs vitamin E I decided to give the body shops a try. I bought some smaller bottles of the cleanser, toner, day cream and a night cream. I bought these from an outlet body shop in a little set and I'm pretty sure it cost £8. I loved all of the products. My favourite by far was the night cream. The cleanser was soft on skin but still does all the work you need for getting makeup off.  The toner is quite thick it reminded me of oil. The day cream thin but hydrating, leaves your skin soft fresh and ready for the day.


After all of the night cream had been used I loved it so I repurchased it in full size. This night cream is very moisturizing but sinks in quickly. The morning after your skin still feels hydrated. My fave night cream ever, I can see this being in my skin care for a long while. 


Something that Ive had and been loving for a while is the serum. I apply it after moisturizer bed. This is quite greasy and can make your hair a bit greasy but nothing dry shampoo can't sort. It help my skin with hydration and helps to clear spots. I use it just whenever I feel my skin is looking dull and needs a boost. I paid £13 pound for this which is pricey but not alot of this product gets used and has lasted months and will probably last for months more, good investment. 

SuperDrug-£5.98
The Body Shop-£33

In conclusion my winner is most definitely the Body Shop. Alot better for your skin and worth spending more on.
