Skincare Favourites

Hello again my beautiful readers, :)

I thought I'd do a skincare post today because I've gotten into taking care of my skin alot more now, so let's get started.


                                              Clean and Clear Deep Action Cream Wash


My mum bought me this in year 7 or 8 and I've loved it ever since. It's really creamy and light on the skin. It isn't rough but leaves my skin feeling plump and fresh. It gives a really deep clean unclogging pores and removing dirt, oil and make-up, and I have noticed it clears up any blemishes (with the help of another product I'll list in a second). I have normal to dry skin and I find this doesn't dry out my skin, unlike other face washes that I've tried. 

Clean and Clear Morning Energy Skin Energising Daily Facial Wash 


I know, I know, another Clean and Clear product, but their range is amazing! Anyway, I use this in the shower rather than in the morning, as I find it a little drying on my skin. But don't let me stop you from using it in the morning! Unlike the other face wash this on has tiny little bursting beads, ex-foliating your face and giving a deep clean. 

Superdrug Coconut Oil


I got the idea of using coconut oil as a cleansing balm from Gemsmaquillage on YouTube. It cleanses my skin getting rid of any left over make up after using wipes. I then rinse if off with warm water, leaving a little oil on my face to soak into my skin over night, giving my skin a little moisturise. Definitely recommend you try this!


 Nivea Moisturising Cream 


I've tried the Nivea Soft moisturiser and yes I loved it, but again my skin tends to get a little dry, so I switched over to this moisturiser. It's amazing, it's really thick, so I just warm it up with my fingers before applying. Since using this I've found my skin doesn't dry out any more. Love this stuff.

Witch Blemish Stick


This is the only thing that works! Its not the most sanitary product, it's like a little glue stick, so when you use it on a spot the bacteria is then on the product. So I use a cotton bud and swirl it in the product and then apply to the spot. After you apply it, the spot starts to sting, which I (weirdly) like, because I then know it's actually working. And it's upper dupper cheap! :) Just go buy this now! 

Soooooooooo, that's my skincare favourites wrapped up. Let me know about your favourite skincare products! Love you Lots, like Jelly Tots!

What's in My Makeup Bag?

Hi eyeryone!

Extremely sorry I haven't posted in over a month, I've been super busy and haven't really been inspired to post anything. But I'm back! Let me know what type of post's you'd like to see in future!

I thought I'd begin with a what's in my makeup bag post, as its quick, easy and who doesn't love a good nosey into someone els' makeup bag eyy! :)

Rimmel 25 Hour Lasting Finish Foundation (100 Ivory)  & Collection 16 Hour Wear Lasting  Perfection Concealer (1 Fair)


Now I know I've spoken about these two before, but honestly I can't replace them. They both work perfectly for my skin, covering my hideous dark circles under my eyes, redness around my nose and any blemishes I may have (a few have been popping up recently *sigh*)
So I definitely recommend these two products to anyone!


Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (1 Translucent) 


I haven't been using this long, but I love it! It keeps my foundation and concealer in place all day, and keeps that shiny look away (not attractive!) I think this will be a repurchase when I run out.

Sleek Blush (Pixie Pink)



Again, I've spoken about this before, but I really do love this blush! Especially for school, where I'm waking up early and looking like a zombie. It gives a fresh a flushed look, making your face appear brighter and more awake. And the pigmentation is amazing!

Constance Carroll Eye-shadow palette (2 Everyday Classics)


I don't love these eye-shadow's as they fade after an hour or so, but I've been using the darkest brown in the palette for my brows. My eyebrows are basically invisible, so I have no choice but to fill them in. So when I use this eye-shadow with an angled brush my brows look fuller and more defined. 
(I use a dark shadow as I have blonde hair, and you're supposed to go 3 shades darker than your hair colour if you have light hair)

17 Wild Metallics Eyes Cream Eye-shadow (Wild Nude)


I never really used cream eye-shadow's before, but I saw this one and was eager to try it. It's a beautiful bronze, its a little more orange which brings out the blue in my eyes. Surprisingly its doesn't crease on my oily eyelids, its actually lasts a good few hours.

MUA eye-shadow (Shade 1- Pearl Finish)


This cost me a pound! A pound! The pigmentation is insane for that price! It's a beautiful champaign colour and has a gorgeous pearl finish. I really like using this in the inner corner of my eye and on my brow bone to lift and brighten my eyes. I definitely recommend MUA's single eye-shadows!

MUA eye-shadow (Shade 19- Matte Finish)


Again the pigmentation is insane for only a pound! I love using this dark brown shadow in my crease as it creates a darker area, making my eyes look bigger. GO BUY A SINGLE MUA EYE-SHADOW!

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Waterproof Mascara (Black)


Yes, I've also spoken about this product in the past. It gives amazing volume and length, doesn't clump, and lasts all day. Amazing mascara.

Nivea Lip Butter (Rasberry Rose), Maybelline Baby Lips (Cherry Me and Pink Punch) 
and MUA lipstick (Shade 16)


I usually stick to one lip colour, but recently I've been changing up my lip products.My most used (and now holy grail) products are definitely the Maybelline Baby Lips, I nearly have them all but I reach for Cherry me (orange and red packaging) and Pink Punch (pink and yellow packaging). They're moisturising and leave a subtle tint of colour to your lips. The Nivea Lip Butter is VERY moisturising and I can't go a day without using it. The MUA lipstick is an orang-y pink colour and is quite natural when on the lips.






I hope you enjoyed having a quick peak through my makeup bag...Remember to give me a few ideas on future posts! :)

Much Love
