My updated skincare routine (nivea & garnier remover)

Here's a updated skincare routine, as you know my skincare isn't a very long expensive routine. It just comes to night and i want my make up off and on a morning i will even use some make up remover just to get rid of the dirt that has produced on my skin overnight.

I use to just have a pack of face wipes that i would take my make up off but with having oily acne prone skin they really wasn't working for my skin type. My acne was getting really bad so i swapped it up a little and started using something that removed make up a little more intense. I could even see it making such a difference just using new products over the next couple of weeks. 

Maybelline Color Tattoos 24 hour!

These are another little revisit for me, I don't usually use cream eyeshadows as i find they crease loads on my lids but with a eyelid primer they work quite well. I had 3 colours so far, Immortal charcoal, Metallic pomegranate and On and on bronze. The colour pigment isn't that great to be honest when applying on the lid it goes on really nice but once blended out with a Mac 217 it goes quite see threw on the lid, a sheer blend of eyeshadow. Super easy to blend though.

These eye shadows have had a lot of hype and i just don't see why, they're not that great and they definitely do not last all day never mind '24 hours' but who wears make up for 24 hours anyway.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers

Rimmel lip lacquers (Apocalips) came out a while ago but i didn't see much on them in the blogging world and think they need talking about! they are the perfect lip product for spring summer but have an amazing range of colour's that are suitable more for the winter months too. They are super creamy but the colour pigment is speechless for such a creamy lip product! These are similar to a lip gloss in texture but have really good staying power!

You may still be able to buy them today in Boots at only £6.49 (Rimmel are on offer now) buy one get the second half price. (out of stock online)

How i curl my hair with straighteners

I curl my hair quite often, i think it frames my face better than it being straight. Other than that its usually up in a bun. I always use straighteners to curl my hair as i find them a lot easier than doing it with a curler, i usually burn my fingers with a curler or end up with one side being perfect and the other side being odd. It usually takes me around 15-20 minutes to curl all my hair and i have pretty long hair.

So once I've washed my hair i usually towel dry it a little i then spray the got2b heat protection in my hair and usually some kiddies detangle spray which smells like pear! its so amazingg! I then brush my hair threw with the tangle teezer and dry the rest of my hair with a hairdryer and then brush it through once again with the tangle teezer. 

Revlon colorburst lip butters

Revlon ColorBurst lip butters are back with more shades! Avalible at Boots at £7.99 each (buy 1 get the 2nd half price) and at Beauty Outlets!

Revlon lip butters came out a while back and the world went crazy for them. You don't hear about them much now but they are perfect for keeping the lip moisturized and feeling creamy but giving a gorgeous layer of colour to the lips at the same time. They are like a tinted lip balm, i just wish they smelt like they are named. I still use these today!
They come in a simple packaging but each one is the colour of the lip butter product which is fab so you don't have to look at the bottom of the product to discover what shade it is.

Foundation Revisit // Mac Studio Sculpt

The Mac studio sculpt foundation was the first high end product i bought about a year back, i know it needs throwing away. But I've finally just used the last of it today. It was running really low and i just didn't use it for a while but i decided to try it out again. I now remember why i bought this foundation in the first place, i hadn't really heard a lot about mac foundations through youtube channels and blogs but i had heard a lot about their other products such as brushes, eye shadows. I went to the stall in debenhams and said i basically have dry skin but i suffer from acne so i need good coverage and they recommended the studio sculpt foundation. They matched me up to NC15 which was the palest shade and it really does match up well. In the summer i just add some bronzer to match me if i get a tan, which is very rare as i hate sunbathing. 

My nail polish collection! // Barry M and More..

I've been collecting nail polishes since i was about 18 when i really started to get addicted to them. Especially the brand Barry M. I use to bite my nails really short so i couldn't paint them when i was younger, but since i started growing them painting was a thing that needed to be done. I still bite my fingers which doesn't make them look nice but adding some nail polish on them stops me wanting to bite them. I think biting them is just a habit and an anxiety thing. A lot of these nail polishes are quite old and need throwing away so i put most of the ones i don't use in the left tray and the newest ones in the right tray.

A few items I've been trying out // Real techniques, Revolution, Dolly's mixtures

Real techniques Sponge

So I've recently been trying out this real techniques sponge as I've been hearing a lot of good things about it. I wanted to give something else a go rather than using brushes all the time. I can use this sponge to apply my foundation, concealer and powder under the eyes which is great as i don't need loads of different brushes. I can use the pointed end for under my eyes and the sponge for my face and the flat part for around my nose. I haven't used the sponge dry yet, i just spray some of my hydrating face mist onto the sponge and start dabbing away. I really love the natural finish it gives on my skin. No lines anywhere! (which you can get from a brush). The other great thing is that its only £5.99.
