Evening Skincare

The third and final part of my skincare series.  This is usually done at night, but as I said in the first part for some of the week this is done in the morning as I work nightshift.


Garnier, Simply Essentials, Soothing 2 in 1 Makeup Remover:  I never used to use a separate makeup remover but as I've changes my cleanser at night I now do.  This is great, works really well.  Doesn't sting my eyes.  I use this every night if I have been wearing makeup during the day.

Vichy Normaderm, Micellar Water for Imperfection Prone and Sensitive Skin:  I use this the nights I don't want to wash my face. Have spoke about this before, it's great.


No7 Beautiful Skin, Hot Cloth Cleanser: Am really enjoying using this.  I got this with the £5 vouchers so it only cost me £5.  Smells lovely and I feel that it gives my skin a really good clean.


Avene, Eau Thermal Water Spray:  use this instead of a toner.

Caudalie, Vinosource S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum:  I use this at night if I'm not using my Decleor balm.

Elemis, Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal:  A good eye cream.

Oilatum, Natural Repair Face Cream:  Is always talked about on the Pixiwoo Youtube channel thought it sounded good so bought it.  It's great, really helps with my dry skin.  I use this at night a few times a week.


Elemis, Pro-Collagen Marine Cream:  Another anti-ageing product from Elemis.  This is a light weight cream, not heavy at all.  This must be the fourth or fifth one I've used, having got them in various kits.  It's great makes my skin look really good and it can be used around the eyes aswell so great for the nights I'm a bit lazy.


Decleor, Aromessence Neroli Essential Night Balm:  Love this wee product! When you use this at night it is the only thing that goes on your face apart from an eye cream.  I use this in a couple of different ways, I use it once a week generally or if my skin is playing up I'll use it for a week or two untill my skin settles down.  Again this is about my fourth one.  It is only a little pot but you take the tiny amount and war it between your hands then massage it into your skin.


Figs & Rouge Coco Vanilla and Rambling Rose Balms:  The Coco Vanilla smells lovely and I use this as a lip balm every time I go to bed. I have noticed a big difference in the condition of my lips since using this.  The Rambing Rose balm I got in a Glossybox and I use it on my cuticles at night.

So thats my current skincare routine, it does change a bit at times though there are products in there that I have been using for years and will contiue to do so.  There are also new products that have recently been introduced which will become staples.

Treatments

This is second post in my skincare series, this is all about weekly treatments.  I try to do facemask and scrub twice a week now I don't always manage that but I do always manage at least once a week.



These are the three scrubs that I rotate between.

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel: This is the scrub that I generally use before my Tri-Enzyme mask.  It says it's a peel but it is a scrub.  It is an enzymematic scrub.  I put a layer of it on my face leave it for about 10minutes then rinse off.  My skin feels amazing after this.


Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator: This is a gentle scrub that can be used everyday.  It has a really nice smell, I'm not a fan of rose scents but this is not to strong.  I like this scrub because it is gentle enough to use over the eyelids and lips.  This helps combat the dry skin I sometimes get on my eyelids.  I don't use it over my eyelids every time I use this maybe only a couple of times a month.

Soap & Gory, The Greatest Scrub of All:  This is the most grainy exfoliator I have and generally use it a couple of times in the month, or if my skin  is playing up then I will use this instead of the gentle rose exfoliator. 


This is the mask routine that I will do once a week, more if my skin is particularly bad.

Elemis, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask:  This is an active gel mask which helps tp even out uneven skin and target belmishes.  This is why I use it, it is also good for anti-ageing.  I find it works amazingly well on my spots.  I put a thin layer on my face and leave it on for 10minutes.  Some people will feel a tingling when they  have it on the face, I don't have that any more. 

Elemis, Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Mask:  This is another anti-ageing product, I use it for its hydrating properties.  I use this after the tri-enzyme mask.  I put on a layer then leave it on overnight.

Elemis, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream:   I will use this after the pro-collagen mask has been on my skin for at least an hour, I will just put this on top of it.  This cream stimulates the skin's natural cell renewal cycle.

The  morning after I use all these products my skin feels and looks amazing.

These are the other two masks that I use.  If I'm being good I will use one of these later on in the week.  I try to alternate these each week.


Elemis, Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask:  This mask leaves skin super moisturised.  I use a thick layer and leave it on for 15minutes.  My skin feels really soft and looks really good after use.  If my skin is particularly dry then this does make a noticable difference after use.

Elemis, Fruit Active Rejunvenating Mask:  This restores the glow to dull complexions.  It smells amazing!! I put a layer on my face leave for 10-15 minutes.  My skin looks great after this.

I know there is alot of Elemis products, but their products do work for me and I really like them.  I don't have a spot specific mask because I feel that the tri-enzyme mask works really well on my spots and works better than any other spot specific masks that I've used before.

NOTD pretty pastels

Got these two Models Own polishes on sat morning, couldn't use them as I was working over the weekend. So first thing I did when I got home from work was paint my nails with these, pastel pink and jade stone.

Morning skincare

I am going to split my skincare posts into three, morning, evening and treatments.  The first being morning, though I will say that as I work nights sometimes my morning routine is done at 6.30pm and my evening routine at about 9.30am, but it still works the same, I hope!
This is all the skincare that I keep in the bathroom, so cleansers, masks, scrubs.

This is the skincare that I keep on my dressing table, next to the box is a makeup remover, micellar water and two fig & rouge balms.

First is the Vichy Normaderm Micellar Water For Imperfection Prone and Sensitive Skin, love this. Works really well for me, use it when I don't want to use water usually if I'm not planning on going anywhere.

NO7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser for Normal/Oily skins.  I use this if I'm more spotty, more greasy.  If my skin not doing so well.  Got this with the last set of £5 No7 vouchers.

No7 Beautiful Skin Melting Gel Cleanser for Normal/Dry Skin.  This is what I tend to use more often as the dry parts of my face have been bad over the last few months. The extended winter hasn't helped this.  Love the texture of this, again got with one of they vouchers. 

This is what I'm curently using to moisturise, it does change depending on how my skin is at that time.

Avene Eau Thermal Water Spray, I have been using this in place of a toner and its really working on my skin, this is my second one and I am going to rebuy this again.

Talika Experts Lipocils, I got this in this months Joliebox so am giving it ago.  Hope theres enough to see some results.

Elemis Absolute Eye Serum, is a nice not to heavy eye serum.

Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum, another product from a beauty box, this time last months Glossybox.  This is a great product, love the smell. Am seriously considering buying the full size.

Monu Professional Skincare, Moisture Rich Collagen Cream, again from last months Glossybox.  I really like this, has been great on my skin. I am also considering buying this full size though will probably wait till after the summer, my skin isn't so dry during the summer.


No7 Beautiful Skin, T-Zone Rescue, you put this on before your moisturiser and it helps keep your skin looking matt, I generally use this before work as my skin can get shiny, plus my makeup is on for about 13hrs so need all the help!

Decleor Arromessence Neroli, great wee oil, works well not got much left. Was going to buy this but the Cauadalie one I'll probably buy instead.

Elemis Visible Brilliance, is what it says. Had a full size one thought it was good.



These are what I use on my spots when I get them.

No7 Beautiful Skin, Rapid Spot Rescue, its meant to reduce spot size in two hours, don't know if its that good but it does make them look better.

Soap and Glory, Dr Spotm Invisible Spot Fighting Gel, use this on particularly sore spots during the day or at night.

Freederm Gel, don't particularly like this but if I have a spot thats going nowhere and nothing else worked I'll give this ago.

During the summer when I know I'm going to be outside I will use this instead of all my moisturisers and serums as not only is this a suncream it is also full of good stuff for your face meaning that you don't really need to use anything else.  The other good thing I like about this is once you've put it on in the morning and waited about 15mins before you go in the sun it will last you all day.

So thats my morning skincare routine, nothing fancy but is working for me at the moment, may change a bit as thats the weather getting warmer and my skin changes slightly in the heat.

Elemis S.O.S Emergency Cream

Elemis is a British Spa and Skincare brand, defined ny nature lead by science.  This is a brand that is huge worldwide.  It has over 1200 spas and salons worldwide.  Elemis was a brand that I was always interested in but was a bit out of my price range.  Then I started shopping on QVC and I entered the world of Elemis and I have to say I haven't looked back.

I watched Elemis for ages before I actually bought anything, started to use a few things but was having some problems with my skin.  From watching it on QVC I knew that you could email Keeley Aydin (the face of Elemis on QVC) and that she would get back to you.  So I did, saying what my skin was like what products I used etc and asked for her advice.  One of the things she said I could try was S.O.S emergency cream.  So I saw that QVC had a kit with the full size in it, a few other things that I wanted to try for a great price an also on three easy pays, so I bought it and waited for it to arrive.  I think its great that she does this and I love watching her, her knowledge is amazing and she can give you so many hints and tips to get the best from your products.  I'm probably never going to afford to go to an Elemis Spa but with Keleey's advice I can create the next best thing, my own at home!

 This cream is amazing!!! Worked wonders for me, has to be my holy grail product.  I actually started to worry when I finished this, something I have never done before with a product.

This is meant to provide relief to sensitive skins, hormonal breakouts and to calm irritations.  It is a thicker consistency than most moisturisers and you have to warm it between your palms before it you put ot on you face. I only use this at night and had no issuses with the consistency though I know some don't really get on with it.  You can mix it with your day moisturiser and I did do this occassionaly and this was a good way of using it in the day time.

It contains Willow, Myrhh, Lavander, Chamomile amongst other things to help soothe, protect and restore the skins natural balance.

I used this most nights, and it settled my skin down brilliantly.  I also used it just on spots, which it was great for.  At the time I got it I was getting lots of those big spots that sit just under your skin and are really sore, this is the only product that I've ever used that worked so well on them.  I use it on sunburn, dry patches, when my nose went all horrible during a cold didn't sting like other products do. I reacted to a eye makeup remover, put this on and it took away the redness and the itching and by morning just a little red mark that was barely noticeable.

I love this product and can't wait till I have repurchased it. I don't have a bad word to say about it, apart from the price.  Its £49.10, which to me is expensive, but I will buy it when I have the pennies.  I am missing having it and using it.   I couldn't recommend this enough.

May's GlossyBox

My GlossyBox this month came really quick, got the email yesterday morning to say that it had been dispatched and b yesterday afternoon it was here.  This months box is the anniversary box as GlossyBox is one year old.
I loved the paper it was wrappe in, so cute. 

And this is what was inside. There was also a balloon as a bit of fun for their birthday and a compact mirror as a special present.

Noble Isle, Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel: This is a new British brand, which I had never heard anything about.  This has extracts of gooseberry, elderflower, orange blossom, moss and cut grass.  Sounds a bit of a strange combination but I love the smell of this and can't wait to use it.  It costs £20 for 250mls which is a bit expensive to repurchase if I really like it.  But they do sell gift sets which is how I would repurchase if I wanted to.


Lolita Lempicka, Eau de Parfum & Si Lolita: Two different perfume samples from the same brand.  I know some people don't really like getting perfume samples but I'm happy getting them.  Again this was a brand that I had never heard of. I sprayed one on each wrist yesterday and thought I'll see how I get on with them.  I quite like these little bottles as they are a sray bottle and so easy to use.  While I was sitting on the phone last night to my partner, the way I was holding the phone all of a sudden I was like oh thats really nice, totally confusing him in the process.  It was the Eau de Parfum, its lovely my preferred one of the two.  Infact I like it so much that I immediately started looking to where I could buy it.  According to the info you get with the GlossyBox for the Eau de Parfum its £65 for 100mls and £63 for 100mls of the Si Lolita.  I did find it on Amazon at various sizes for various prices.  I am definately going to get the Eau de Parfum, but I may be a bit cheeky and wait till august and ask for it for my birthday.

Apivita, Express Beauty Masks with Orange:  There are various different ones of this if you look at the website.  This was a full size product.  On the back it says " The orange essential oil is known for its anti-fatigue properties and helps tone and moisturise the skin.  Vitamins C, E, along with the coenzyme Q-10 it contains, offer antioxidant protection while leaving the skin radiant and revitalized."  This sounds great and I'm looking forward to trying them.  I do like a good face mask. This costs £3.50 per sachet and theres two in one sachet.  If you hadn't noticed Marks and Spencers have updated their beauty department and now includes lots of brands, some of which were hard to get in the UK.  It now sells this brand and although there is only one shop at the mo with the new beauty department it is online.

Osmo, Berber Oil Hair Treatment: This is a blend of oils that includes argan oil, it says it reduces drying time and offers increased control.  Will be good to see if it does reduce drying time. Also contains UV filters to protect against heat styling and sun damage.  This sounds really interesting.  It comes in 10ml and 100ml.  It was the 10ml size in the box.  It's £5.99 for the 10ml and £19.99 for the 100ml.

Eldora, False Eyelashes:  This was another full size product and these cost from £3.50.  I have never used false eyelashes and this is the first pair that I've owned.  Whether I'll try them I don't know.  I have seen that other boxes got a HD brow product or a Collection eye liner gel and to be honest I would have preferred one of these.  But that is what happens with beauty boxes, you never know what you will get.

NOTD in the sun!

After a week and a bit of glitter polishes, with the sun coming out I was in the mood for something summery!

Monday's thoughts.

Just a little post on what's going on at the moment. As I am currently on annual leave, I had decided to use the time to kick start my new healthier me. So last week I started eating better and this week I start exercising again. I find this easy to do when I'm not working the trouble starts when I go back to work at the weekend. As I've said before I work nightshift and eating healthy at 3am really isn't appealing. But I'm hoping as I will have been eating better for a while before had that it will be not so bad. Time will tell but I'm hoping that I can come back and give an update in a month saying things are still going well.

JolieBox May

This arrived about an hour ago and I have already been using some of the products inside, must be a good sign.

The theme of this months box is in bloom, giving us the chance to mix plant based products and a bit of flower power into our exisiting routines.


Essential Care Organic Rose Moisturiser:  This is a moisturiser for all skin types. 
This is a light textured day cream, that according to the website can also be used as an eye cream.  Have to say the essential care website makes it sound amazing.  The 15ml size that was in the box costs £7.50 and you can also get a 50ml size for £19.00.  This sounds really good and I am in need of a new eye cream so I may try it like that.

Talika Lipocils Expert:  This is an eyelash growth product.  This is a new and improved version of the original lipocils.  Has nettle to stimulate eyelash growth, anti-aging peptides to strengthen and improve length.  This is a natural way to grow and thicken the eyelashes.  I found this to be £28.00.  I have always wanted to try an eyelash growth product so was so happy to see this in here.  I have already used it as soon as i opened the box. 

RMK Makeup Base:  To help your foundation stay on for longer.This is meant to work on any skin condition, providing the perfect base. £28 for 30ml.  I am always on the lookout for the perfect primer, so am really looking forward to using this.

China Glaze Professional Nail Lacquer:  I got mine in X.  Think these are about the £9 mark.  This is a reddy/brown colour, not describing it very well. Looks really nice.  This is only my second china glaze polish and I can't wait to try it.  I love getting nail polish its one of my favourite things.

There was only four items in this months box but I have to say I was very pleased with what I got.  The Essential Care Moisturiser its great that it can be used as an eye cream.  I was actually going to go into town today to get a new eye cream, now I'll be using this.  The make up base, will this be the one I've been serching for? The Talika lipocils expert as I said been wanting to try a product like this for ages, but had been put off by the prices of them and finally a nail varnish, anyone who knows me knows how happy I am with this.  I couldn't have picked better products for me if I had done it myself.

Mac palette

I have wanted a Mac eyeshadow palette for so many years now, I have spent ages looking at the different eyeshadows planning out what I would have in my palette (sad, I know).  Anyway, I decided one day last month that instead of looking at it I was going to take the plunge and buy it.

I have to admit that the day it arrived I was so excited!  I couldn't wait to put the eyeshadows in.

I only got three, so I will add to this, which I am really excited about.  It's very sad just how happy this makes me! I got omega, patina and sumptious olive.

The Body Shop haul!

I haven't shopped in The Body Shop in ages.  Still get regular update emails from them, and in one of them I got a 40% discount offer to encourage me to go back to The Body Shop.  This was too good an offer to miss, so off I went to the computer and placed my order.

And this is what I got.  There is one body oil and one shea soap missing, they are in the bathroom already in use!

I couldn't resist getting some more body butters, I love these.  I thought I would get some summery scents so picked mango and strawberry.  The mango I have had before and love it.

The coconut foaming bath is for my partner, he loves his baths.  The almond conditioning hand wash is great, I tend not to use soap as it doesn't agree with my hands so always have hand washes at the sinks.  The strawberry hand cleansing gel is great, use alcohol gels at my work which don't agree with my hands so I got this to try and I love it.  I used to have the tee tree version of this when it was available and it was great.

I got the soaps for my partner, I also got a shea soap, but its already in use. I got two of the mango beautifying oils.  I'm really loving oils just now and these ones are fab.  Absorb really well and don't leave your skin feeling oily.  Born Lippy stick lip balm in plum, prefer lip balms in stick version, this smells like the purple starbursts (keep going to say opal fruits, showing my age!).  Its great and will def be buying more of these.

NOTD Pink and blue glitter

I'm getting a but obsessed with glitter polishes at the moment and this one is fab!

I used Wellington street by nails inc as a base colour then two coats of disco mix by models own. I think the next time I use this I will try a blue polish for a base colour to see how that works , as the glitter is blue and pink. I used nail envy by OPI as a base coat and Seche vite top coat.

Playing with gems!

Was a bit fed up so decided to have a play with some of the gems I've got for using on my nails. Some I like some I don't, but that's the fun of having a play.

Body Lotions

I am a huge fan of body lotions/butters and I have a collection that shows that.  I have dry skin on my body, with my legs being a lot drier than the rest of my body, so I need to use something everyday or my legs get really uncomfortable.

 This is where I store all my body lotions/butters and it sits on one of the shelves in my dressing table.  The pink basket is from Wilkinsons.

These are the body lotions that I mainly use in the morning, they are light, easily absorbed and smell good.


Botanics Enriching Body Cream:  I got this in Boots and you get alot for your money. 

Sanctuary Body Lotion:  Another Boots one, I love the smell of this range.

Vitamin E All Over Body Cream:  One from Superdrug, again great value for money.

Onto what I use at night and you will see there is a lot more!


Sanctuary Comforting Night Butter:  As I've said before this stuff is amazing! It's meant to help relax your muscles and let you get to sleep.   I first got this as part of a kit, never used it, then just devided one ay to use it and I've never looked back.  It smells great and I find that it really does help me sleep.  I use it every time I go to bed. It must be one of the few things made to help you sleep that doesn't smell of lavender. I don'tlike lavender, gives me a horrible headache.  So I'm glad to have found a range that doesn't contain it.   The only thing I don't like about it is the design of the tub, I wish it didn't have the little side bits which would make it easier to get the body butter out.  But that won't stop me using it.

Body Shop Shea Body Butter and Brazil Nut Body Butter:  These used to be the only stuff I used on my legs, but I've branched out and use a lot more.  Still staples that I wouldn't be without.

Soap & Glory, The Righteous Butter & The Daily Smooth Body Lotion:  Two great wee products which I have bought repeatedly.  The smell is amazing. 

Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter:  I had seen reviews about how this was not only good for babies but also good for adults, another one of those baby products that everyone uses.  There is no nasties in it, only goods things.  It smells amazing, like vanailla cupcakes but not too sweet.  Its a really great moisturiser, but it is very greasy so its only one that I use at night.

Elemis Tranquil Touch Body Cream:  The best way I can describe this is like a hug in a bottle.  It is such a comforting smell.  I have nearly the full range of this, thats how much I like it. 

Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion:  I got this in April's Glossybox.  Its really good and I'm enjoying using it.

Philosophy Melting Marshmallow Body Butter:  This smells like hot chocolate that has marshmallows on top, so yummy. I have a tiny bit left and dont want to use it as once its gone thats it.

Lush Dream Cream:  This is what I use when my legs aren't so good.  When they are sore, dry and uncomfortable.  This is really good at calming them down and making them feel better.  My only problem is that it does smell quite strongly of lavender when you use it, as I've already said I don't like lavender.  But as I only use it on my legs and use another cream on my upper body it doesn't bother me so much.

Sanctuary Moisture Rich Foot Butter:  I also store this foot butter in here aswell, as I put it on at the same time as my body lotions.  This is great and doesn't have that really strong minty smell that alot of foot products do.

There is also a couple of Nivea body lotions, a Britney Spears one and a Fearne Cotton one that I got in sets at christmas that I don't really use.

NOTD Blue sparkles

I bought this nail polish today and couldn't resist painting them! It's by revlon and it's called radiant. I love the glitter nail varnishes from revlon. I used nails inc berkeley street as a base before putting on radiant.

Empties

These are some products that I have finished over April.


Dove Beauty Finish roll on deodorant:  I know some people don't really write about deodorants, but I have to say I love this one and I was surprised at just how much. Dove isn't a brand I use at all. When they first came out the Dove scent gave me a headache and I had avoided the brand since then.  One day I was in Boots and saw an offer to get Nails Inc nail varnish when you spent so much on Dove deodorants.  Loving Nails Inc as much as I do, I must have spent about 10minutes smelling them all, eventually I picked this one.  I got three of them that day and I'm now on my third one.  Working in a hospital I need a deodorant that really works, as I'm running about alot, the heating is always on and this one really works well, infact better than some of my preferred deodorants. I'm so glad I did get them as it is now my favourite.

Eucerin Dry Scalp Relief Shampoo 5% Urea:  A few years ago, I developed a really sensitive scalp and have had trouble getting a shampoo that didn't make it worse.  I saw this on a video by Fleur de Force and bought it.  It isn't cheap at £8 odd, but its done wonders for my scalp.  Love it!!

Sanctuary Comforting Night Butter: Have already talked about and this will feature in another blog so all I'm going to say is AMAZING!


Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter and Hand Food: What can I say about these products? They are brilliant, they smell amazing.  I'm sure most people know the signature smell of Soap & Glory.  I have repurchased these loads.


Now these two are possibly my top two skin care products ever!! They would have been in my April faves if I hadn't finished them at the start of the month.

Decleor Seurm Hydrotenseur - Contour Firming Serum:  This is amazing! It works wonders on my eyes, I am a nightshift worker, so my eyes weren't great and this has sorted that.  You use it for a month then have a month off.  You can use it on the whole eye area including mobile lid, great for hooded eyes which I have.

Elemis S.O.S Emergency Cream: I am going to do a post on this product as it is so good.  I used this as a night cream.  Works wonders.

All of the above I would and will be repurchasing.  They are all brillaint products.

April Faves

I know this is a bit late, but as I have previously said I haven't been able to use my computer to get this written up.

Not a huge amount of products this month, I haven't really been doing much apart from working, so just a select few products.

Vichy Normaderm Solution Micellaire: This is a micellar water for acne prone and sensitive skin.  This is great for my skin, I use it in the mornings when I'm not really doing anything and sometimes at night.  I was worried that it wouldn't help control my oilyness but its great. 

Garnier Sinply Essentials, Soothing 2 in 1 Make up Remover: Is for sensitve skins so it doesn't annoy my skin like some can. It's great at removing eye makeup including waterproof mascara, I also use it for my Clinique mascara that you are meant to use warm water to remove it and it removes that with ease.

Sanctuary Comforting Night Butter: AMAZING stuff!! This is meant to help relax your muscles and help you sleep.  I tried a smaller one of this from a kit when I was having trouble sleeping and the stuff is amazing.  i bought this size when the little tub had run out.


Superdrug Vitamin E All Over Body Cream:  This is a huge tub and was about £3 so great value for money.  I use this in the mornings when I prefer a lighter body lotion.  It keeps my very dry legs moisturised well throughout the day.


Soap & Glory Lid Stuff Eye Palette:  I have been wearing this every day I'm at my work.  I love this as three of the four shades are matte and I prefer matte shades for work.  Meant to last 8hrs and I do 12hr shifts and it does make it to nearly the end of a shift so can't complain there.

VO5 Miracle Concentrate:  Again another product I use when I'm working, though it is starting to get used every time I wash my hair.  My hair has been looking great since I've been using this.  I also use a little bit of this on my hair when its dry before I put my hair up for work.  I use this at least three/four times a week, use about three drops at a time and theres hardly any from this, so its going to last for ages.

17 Peep Show Mascara:  This is the mascara that I use when not at work.  It has fibres in it to create volume and lengthen.  Makes my lashes look amazing.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub:  A great wee lip scrub that also tastes amazing.

Figs & Rouge, Coco Vanilla Lip Face Hand & Body Balm:  Smells great and is great on any dry patches.  I use this every time before I go to bed on my lips and my lips are looking great.  I work in a hospital, which can be very drying and this balm has made a huge difference to my lips.  Always use it after using the lush scrub.

Avene Eau Thermal Water Spray:  I use this in place of a toner after my No 7 face washes.  Its great and my skin looks good after it.  I also use it when my face is feeling irrated or really dry.

All the above products I would and will be repurchasing when they finish.

NOTD

I saw this on a you tube video by Fleur de Force and I loved it, so had to try it for myself. I love wearing blue nail varnish and pink nail varnish so why not wear the two together! I used Baker Street by Nails Inc which is my top blue colour, it's the best colour ever! The pink is an OPI one but it's in the little bottle and it doesn't have the name on it. Which is a shame as its one of my fave pinks and it's nearly finished.
