The Ordinary Haul
If you watch Wayne Goss on YouTube then you will know he talks about an affordable skin care line called The Ordinary fairly frequently. After many visits to the website and some research I finally decided to place my first order and the 3 products arrived today.
I purchased the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%
Stephanie Nicole on YouTube said this could help with dark circles under the eyes and that is something that I absolutely have trouble with. This costs £4.90 and contains 30ml of products which is a lot for this kind of product, especially at this price point. The Victoria Health website claims that this product is brightening and hydrating and can help reverse the signs of aging.
Well worth a punt at £4.90 in my eyes
The next thing I got was the Natural Moisturising Factors + HA
This cost £4.90 for 30ml as well and is marketed as a moisturiser to go over the top of a serum. I have very sensitive skin but once again for the price I figured this one was worth a try.
The last thing to arrive today was the High Adherence Silicone Primer
This is only £3.90 for 30 ml which is way cheaper than any primer that I have tried from the high street. Its also a silicone based primer which is not for everyone but is something I really love. I am hoping this can give my Smashbox primer a real run for its money as its around 85% cheaper. The website claims its mattifies, hydrates and blurrs so we shall see.
I also put in an order for the 2 types of foundation but they are sold out so they may take a couple of weeks to arrive.
In regards to the ease of ordering these products I cant complain at all the shipping was very quick and also reasonably priced.
My only gripe so far is that its really hard to know what each product is for as there isn't a lot of information on the website and it can be quite overwhelming to decided what to go for. I strongly suggest watching Stephanie Nicole's video as she knows a lot about skin care and really breaks down what each product is for.

I am going to try and do a first impressions in a few days but it will take a few weeks of use before I will know the impact these products have so stay tuned.
Let me know if you have bought anything from The Ordinary or what your thoughts are.
