Improving My Skin – My Current Favourite Products…

I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert when it comes to skin care or that I have incredible skin – I don’t, I never have, but I am, without a doubt, trying my absolute best to improve that – and I have been since I set it as one of my ‘New Years Resolutions’.

I was just so undecided, but I eventually opted for the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation, and couldn’t not do a first impressions post after tweeting endlessly about it..
