Best face creams for oily skin

Abbys recommendations:


I bought this when it was on offer to try, it grabbed my attention as it was "oil free" and I've struggled with oily skin for as long as I can remember. I use this nearly every morning before my make up and it helps stop my foundation making my skin greasy, I hate having to keep using powder throughout the day as it just builds up and looks horrible! I don't think I'll ever go without this again now that I've found it and would recommend it to everyone who suffers from oily skin to try it! 


I do occasionally use this in mornings, or days when I'm wearing little or no make up, but I mainly use this on the evenings before bed after I've cleaned my skin and exfoliated, so oil doesn't build up on my skin overnight. I probably prefer the Nivea one to use under my makeup as it seems not as thick to me personally, but there isn't too much difference in them. 

Ellie's recommendation:


This is my favourite moisturiser at the moment. Even though I suffer from dry skin on my face, many moisturisers that I've used in the past have left my face feeling heavy and clogged up with thick moisturiser. However this Simple one has saved my life! It's a perfect balance of not too light and not too heavy which is just what I needed! They have a range of moisturisers just like these, for different types of skin. I chose to get the one with SPF in (which was great for Australia!) as I've heard that SPF is amazing for keeping your skin youthful and wrinkle free! Starting early with these things is always good, haha!


If anyone has any other recommendations feel free to comment below so we can try them! 

Thanks!

Melbourne


Our trip to Melbourne was amazing! We were so lucky to explore different cities whilst we were over there. We've become almost experts at flying! (Or catching flights should I say)



The main hostel we stayed at in Melbourne was "Urban Central" which was our favourite from the whole trip! Especially the bar, hahaha! We had a private room to ourself with an ensuite, we might as well have been staying in a hotel it was that nice. The bar manager was so lovely as well, he was giving us free shooters! Which we had never tried before, and I must say, they are our new found loves!




I just had to get a photo with Audrey! 





The clubs in Melbourne were amazing! (Even if alcohol is more expensive over there) - I can't help but laugh that none of our eyes are open, yet Millie and Lisa seem to be doing just a bit better than us, haha! 




The cutest kitties were at the cat cafe, if you go to Melbourne you simply can't say no to going there! Look at his face! 



Pink lake giving us mermaid vibes! I guess this is one of Melbournes hidden gems!
