5 Favourite Lip Balms

Hello everyone, 

I hope that you are all keeping well and safe!!

Today I am going to give you all an insight into my 5 Favourite Lip Balms. 

1. Superdrug The Little Moisturising Blue Stick Lip Balm - This is one of my most loved lip balms as i feel like it keeps my lips really soft and smooth.  

2. The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Protect Lip Balm - I like to use this lip balm in the morning as soon as I have brushed my teeth and applied a Lip Scrub it keeps my lips smooth and hydrated all day. 

3. Lanolips Lemonade Treatment
 - This lip balm is very thick and hydrating, I like to use this one mostly when my lips are dry and chapped. 

4. Burts Bees Lip Balm - My 2 favourite scents are Mango and Pink Grapefruit. when I use them I am instantly transported to summer and it feels amazing. 

and last but not least is the one that everyone has had a pot of at some point in their life. 

5. Vasaline Lip Care - I don't really know if you can class this as make up but I will class this as I have a little pot in almost every bag, make up bag and pocket. This was also one of the first ever make up items that I ever purchase with my own money, I love this product and I will continue to love and purchase this product. 

So everyone that is a list of my 5 Favourite Lip Balms, do you use any of these products if so which ones are you favourite or is there any other products that you recommend that I try? please do let me know in the comments.

Spring Essentials!

 Hello Everyone,

I do hope that you are all keeping safe and well, 

As you can tell by the title this is my Spring Essentials!

1. Face SPF, really you should wear sunscreen all year round as the rays from the sun can reflect onto you skin even in the snow. 

The one that I use is the La Roche Posay Anthelios Shaka Tinted Fluid. it gives you just a little bit of colour but also protects your skin. 

2. Lip Scrub, My favourite lip scrub is an old favourite which is the Lush Mint Juleps, it literally tastes like Mint Chocolate Chip ice-cream its amazing. 

Due to the change in season and central heating I always find that my lips become chapped and can be quite sore, I use this morning and night you can either lick it off or use a cloth to wash it away. 

3. Lip Balm, To be honest a lip balm should be an all year round staple, once I have used the lip scrub I will be sure to use a good amount of lip balm to keep my lips hydrated. 

There is a lot of really good Lip Balms to use, but my all time favourite has got to be the Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Balm as it helps to keep my lips soft and hydrated throughout the day.

4. Moisturiser, I can't repeat this enough Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise. like wise with your lips you skin can also become super dry as well.

The best all round moisturiser that I have found is the Welda Skin food Light, you can use this all over your body including your face. 

5. Tanning Water, my favourite one is the Utan x Jamie Genevieve I am now on my second bottle its amazing and the scent just makes me fell calm it is infused with CBD and Scottish Lavender Oil. 

Personally I have found that this has been helping to clear up my skin as I have had quite a lot of breakouts due to wearing Face Masks. 

6. Hand Cream, my last essential is hand cream, particularly in the current situation we are all using hand sanitiser a lot more often I have found that my hands have become extremely dry. 

The best hands cream that I have found is the Soap and Glory Hand Food. Personally I do find that the Soap and Glory Hand Food 

So everyone, that is my Spring Must Haves, I hope that this may help you in some way. Have you tried any of the products or is there anything else that you would say is an essential for moving into the Spring months let me know in the comments. 

If you like this post please give me a love as it would be much appreciated and it shows me that you like this type of content.

as always

Mucho Love

Guess who's back? back again.

Hello everyone!!

I hope that you are all staying safe and well through what seems like a lifetime of lockdown. 

It is strange to think that this time last year we were all living our best lives and had no idea what was just around the corner. 

We are almost there you can almost smell the sun tan lotion, see your friends and feel the warm hug from loved ones.

Hang on in there the light at the end of the tunnel is fast approaching and in a few years to come we will all forget what it was like to live in a lockdown. I want to express my condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one throughout this time as I can only imagine how hard that must be.

Check in with people you haven't heard from in a while you never know how much that "Hi, how are you?" could brighten or change someones day, be kind to each other we are not all in the same boat but we are all in the same ocean, some peoples boats are smaller than others and need an extra paddle. 

Moving on from COVID, Lockdown and The News, It has been brought to my attention that I have not written a blog post in 4 years. Yes 4 years. My last post was published on the 5th January 2017. 

We are in a whole new decade!!

A little round up of the last 4 years -

We moved out of our first flat, Moved to a new house on the opposite side of the city then moved again a bit closer to family, I unfortunately lost my 2 grans within 18 months which was quite hard, Stuart Proposed in New York totally unexpected!! there is a bit of a story to that one which I can make as a full post if you would like to read it comment bellow if you would like me to do that. I turned 30 in february last year just a few weeks before the Pandemic hit, my family arranged a surprise party for me and it was amazing I loved every minute of it. Then in November after 14 years of working in my old job I hung up my shirt for the last time and moved onto a new job. I miss my old work colleagues but I still hear from them. 

Honestly not much has changed in the last few years, which is good for me and I don't like change, I just like things how they are. 

As I haven't written a blog in a long time, I have a lot more time on my hands so I want to keep up with the blogging again as it is something that I enjoy doing. 

I plan on keeping up to date with the blogging and plan on putting a post up maybe twice a week. I have a few ideas on what I want to do but please if you have any suggestions please let me know. 

If you enjoyed this post please give me a love it would we much appreciated. 

as always

Mucho Love

2016 Review

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

I hope that you all had a really lovely time.

As you can see for the title I am going to do a review of 2016.

Personally I found that 2016 had a lot of ups and downs, We have lost so many in my opinion absolute legends, but some amazing thing in my own personal life.

New York City

In Februry of last year me and my boyfriend Stuart went to New York for my birthday, it was also our anniversary on the same day as my birthday so my merged both together and celebrated in New York. It was amazing!

Weddings 

Last year I attended 4 weddings and 2 engagement parties and 1 hen night, up until March I had never been to a wedding let alone 4 but i loved everyone of them they where great fun.

Funerals 

Last year there was so many tragic deaths of celebrities and people that I know or who are close to. I lost my gran in January, Stuart lost his gran in April my best friend lost her mum, my dad lost 2 cousins. I think that last year so many people where taken so tragically

Babies

My younger cousin welcomed a beautiful baby boy the week before christmas baby Evan James he is just perfection, my best friend had such a bad year with losing her mum and just in October she found out that she is expecting another baby, my god daughter Orlaith (Orlypops)is going to be a big sister and she is totally thrilled.

Greece 

In September we went on a family holiday to Crete in Greece me Stuart my mum dad sister and her boyfriend Steven, it was amazing we had such good weather I get really bad sunburn on the first day and it resulted into sun stroke so for about 2 days I couldn't move I felt sick and I was getting more and more pale as my family were getting darker and darker.

Christmas

This Christmas me and Stuart tried to spend as much time with each others families. On Christmas eve we went to a restaurant called St Lukes in the Calton in the East End of the city. The meal was amazing, then on Christmas day we went to Stuart's mum and dads house then went back to my mum and dads house and Stuarts family came along as well. We played a combination of 3 games Trivial Pursuit , Speak Out and Pie Face all at the same time I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life it was hilarious.

I hope that you enjoyed reading my 2016 review. If you have written a post or even a YouTube video then please link it below I love seeing what you guys all get up to.

The bag I am currently using is a small Rose Gold crossover bag I got this last year from New Look and I think it cost around £9 or £10 unfortunately I have searched through New Looks website and I don't think it can be purchased anymore.

Recently I have been trying to carry smaller bags as I always take a huge big bag that weighs a ton and I start to stress out because its too heavy and its hurting my shoulder and I feel like I am carrying my full life in my bag. So that why I have been carrying a smaller bag.

1. Paco Rabbane Olympia perfume

2.Sure bright bouquet deodorant 

3.Rose Gold hair brush

4.Keys

5.Louis Vitton Pouch

6.Bath and Body Works Dazzling Diamond Hand Sanitizer

7.Burts Bees lip balm

My Hair Care Routine and Back Story

Hello everyone how are you all this evening?

As you can tell by the title this blog post is going to be about my hair care routine. I have quite long hair that is very thick at the top of my scalp but very thin at the bottom, my hair is now my own natural brunette hair colour about 3 years ago I had very short thin blonde hair until I decided one morning that I was going to dye it back to my natural hair colour. Personally i think my hair is a lot more healthier than when it was blonde I found that it looked very dry and frizzy.

Since dying my hair back to my natural colour I find that it is a lot more manageable I can leave my hair 2-3 days before needing to wash it where as before when I have my blonde hair I had to wash it twice a day just to be able to style it. That being said I now hardly do any heat styling to it. I mostly have a day with my hair down either straight or curly and 1 or 2 days with my hair up in a pony tail or a top not bun.

Thats the kind of short back story to my hair now for the routine:-

Before I wash my hair I will always brush it first as my hair can be quite knotty, when washing my hair I tend to wash it with shampoo twice, my hair can be quite greasy and the 2nd wash will usually make it feel clean as the first time does not take that feeling of being heavy and greasy away. The products I have been using is the Toni and Guy Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner


 recently I personally don't like it I use to use it when I first went back to brown but I really don't like it I am using it up, I can do a review on this shampoo and conditioner just leave a message in the comments. Then I follow up with the conditioner and brush it through with a wide tooth comb and rinse it out.

When drying my hair I like to use a heat protectant the one I have currently been using is the Got2Be Guardian Angel 220ºC Heat Protectant but personally I find that all heat protectants are as soon as each other so I am not too fussy when it come to choosing one, As my hair is so long I find that when drying the way I have the best result is to just crazy dry it by flipping my hair forward and don't take too much effort when doing it. I don't particularly use a brush when drying my hair I will mostly use my Tangle Teezer I did a review on this a few years ago you can read it here.

As I said before I don't really do much heat styling to my hair the only styling that I  do it straightening or curly. Both products that I use are from the brand GHD I have the wide straighteners I find that with them being a bit wider I can straighten a larger area than with the thin plates. The curling tongs that I use is the GHD Curve Soft Curl Tong I will only really use this when I either have time or if I am going out as I find curling my hair is very time consuming when I finish curling my hair I will tend to spray it with Toni and Guy hairspray.

So everyone that is my hair care routine I hope that you enjoyed reading about my personal hair story, If you would like me to do a review on the Toni and Guy shampoo and conditioner then please do let me know in the comments.

Evening Routine

Hello everyone how are you all autumnal evening?

As it is starting to get darker in the evening a little bit earlier now in the UK I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to do an evening routine.

On a typical work day I finish work at around 5:30pm and I will get home just before 6. The minute I get home I will take my dirty work clothes off and change into my Pajama's or loungewear and put my dirty clothes either in the washing machine or in the washing basket to be washed. 

After that I make my way into the kitchen and make myself a cup of tea to heat me up. Then I will make my dinner, while I am waiting for that I will go into the living room or bedroom and tidy up after stuart as he starts and finishes work after me and he is a boy and you know boys are messy.

Then I will check my emails, youtube or play a game on my iPad then have my dinner I will usually make extra and heat it up when stuart comes home. After dinner I will tidy up the kitchen and put everything away.

After that I will go into the bathroom and take off my makeup with my mac cleanse off oil then go in for a shower, I wash my hair every 2nd-3rd day so depending on what day it is I will do my full hair routine. Once I have been showered I will do my skincare routine if you read my monthly favourites you will see that I have been quite minimalistic with my skincare you can read it here

After my shower and skincare routine I will put on my Pajamas that I will always put on the radiator in the bathroom so they are nice and cosy. Then I go back into the kitchen and make another cup off tea, make my way in to the living room and by this time stuart is usually home from work and we will sit on the couch and watch Masterchef, Netflix or a movie and talk about our day like an old man and woman.

I also get very tired very quickly, in the UK the clocks went back an hour and that hour has taken it toll on me when it is 11:00 my usual time that I would go to bed it is only 10:00 so the tiredness is creeping up on me. So when I eventually cant fight sleep anymore and go to bed I will try to read a few pages from my book. The book I am currently reading is The Strange Case or Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde its a great story I would highly recommend reading it once I cant take anymore tiredness I will set my alarm for work the next morning and go to the land of nod. 

Good Night. 

I hope that you enjoy reading my Evening Routine. If you have done an Evening Routine put a link in the comments below I would love to read it.

thank you so much for watching.

DISCLAIMER: I bought all of the items mentioned in this blog post with my own money. 

TMI Periods

Hello everyone how are we all today?

I am bringing you a bit of a controversial blog post today. So if you are a girl/woman reading this then you know what this post entails if you are a boy/man maybe not so much. So wether you call it Period, Time of the Month, The Curse of Eve or if you call it something a bit more crude then you know exactly what I am talking about.

I am just going to go through the things that make me feel a little bit better when it is that time of the month and also a little bit about my period experience when really all I want to do it cocoon myself in my duvet with my comfy jammies on and shut myself away from the world but wether you are at work school or just need to leave the house you just need to get up and as Taylor Swift would

say "Shake It Off".

Everyones experience of their period is completely different, Personally my period usually lasts about 3-4 days and it is also quite light I am quite lucky in that sense. When I was younger 1 use to be really bad and I took quite alot of time off school if you have this problem i would suggest going to see you GP there is alot of thing you doctor can give you to help. On the market there are loads of different products and brands that you can use everything it is really down to trial and error. 

A few things that make me feel better are: 

Herbal Tea - I like Teapigs herbal tea my favourite is the peppermint one.

Soup - Heinz Tomato Soup fixes everything (if you dont like tomato anything will do)

Chocolate - Chocolate is bae thats obvious but dark chocolate is proven to take away cramp 

Heat - Wether it is a heat pad or hot water bottle heat in generally is good at this time of the month

Comfort - if you can wear your comfiest clothes wear the heck out of them, for work I wear a uniform but as soon as I get home I will put on my jammies fluffy socks and hoodie 

Hygiene - Personally I dont like to take a bath I would rather take a shower use products that you like the scent off and that make you feel better, I like to use the Femfresh Ultimate Care Pure & Fresh Gel Wash you can buy it here

Happiness - I know that when it is the time of the month your life is ending but try and do something that makes you feel happy wether that may be watch a movie read a book go a walk or go shopping at this time just do something that makes YOU happy. 

Skincare - Let your skin breath if you ware make up when you have your period either dont wear make up or keep it light and just pamper yourself i.e face masks facials ect...

So everyone I hope that you enjoyed my TMI blog post as always if there is anything that you want me to write about or review just let me know in the comments or in any of my social media linked below.

Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara

Hello everyone, how are you all?

I am back today with a review on the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara.

I have been using this mascara for about the past 2 or 3 weeks now and I have to say I am in love with it. My usual go to mascara would be the Benefit They're Real Mascara, but you know girls on a budget these days so needs must.

I purchased with my own (GBP) the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara in my local Boots store when I was in town recently, You can also purchase it if you click here. 

I bought the waterproof version as I have quite oily skin and through the day in my work where it has industrial air condition and I also have to go outside so my make up is exposed to most of the elements, Me personally I always opt for the waterproof version in a mascara because of that reason if you would like the non waterproof mascara you can click here and it will take you to Boots where you can purchase it.

In my personal opinion I think that the Lash Sensational is probably a really good dupe for the Benefit They're Real Mascara. It has the same consistency as the Benefit one it is quite a wet mascara and the brush has very small individual bristles which it tapered in a half moon shape so it gets into every lash. I find that with most mascaras I need to put more than one coat on my lashes as I feel that my lashes are still quite limp.

I am really impressed by this mascara as I always feel that because a product is so close to your eyes the more expensive it is the better it is. With this product I have been totally proven wrong as I haven't had any problems with putting it on or taking it off and it hasn't caused me any problems with it irritating my eyes as I have had with previous mascaras if you would like I can do a review on the specific product.

So that rounds off my review on the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara.

I hope that you enjoy reading it, I really want to make an effort and write more blog posts I really enjoy writing them. If there is anything at all you would like me to post about then please do write in the comments or on any social media that I linked below or even if you just want to say hi i love reading your comments.

REVIEW :- L'Oreal Paris Elvive - Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner

Hello Everyone

I have realised that I have not wrote a blog post in a quite a while so her we go..

This blog post is going to be about the new L'Oreal Paris Elvive - Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner .

I bought the shampoo and conditioner last week or the week before from Morrison's for £2 each, I had seen it advertised on tv and I had seen a few YouTubers raving about it.

I have really greasy roots and dry ends so when I buy shampoo and conditioner that is usually the first thing that narrows down my choice for my selection. The previous shampoo I have been using I had gone through 2 or 3 bottles and I was starting to fine that my hair was starting to feel weighed down and not more bounce to it. 

When I bought the shampoo and conditioner my local Morrison's did not have the 1st step which is they Clay Masque, I used the shampoo and conditioner with out the Clay Masque and I was not impressed at all, my hair still looked greasy weighed down and for some reason quite sticky to touch. 

So today when I was in town I went to Boots and I bought the Clay Masque, I used it tonight when I washed my hair I didn't change my routine and I have noticed a massive difference. I would highly recommend using the full range not just 1 or 2 of the products. 

I have had a look to see if I can find it cheap for you guys and it looks like Boots is the cheapest they have the 3 for 2 offer running just now. There is one other item in the range the dry shampoo, I might try it but I have a dry shampoo that personally I keep going back to the Batiste original (incase you where wondering)

So to sum up what I think of the new L'Oreal Paris Elvive - Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing range. I really like it but only with the three steps not just the shampoo and conditioner.

That is it for my little review on the new L'Oreal Paris Elvive - Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing I hope that you enjoyed reading. If there is anything else you would like me to review and write a blog post on then please let me know in the comment section below.

Life Update

Hello Everyone 

How are we all on this fine Sunday morning?

I am currently tucked up in bed with toothache from my wisdom tooth and watching youtube videos

so I though I would write a blog post as I haven't since away before Christmas (bad blogger) here is my last blog post that I did it was my weekend skin routine HERE

So  here is an update to let you know what has been happening since I last wrote a post

I turned 25 that alone has made me feel old, I actually got a birthday card from my friend that said quarter way to 100. 25 to me doesn't seem that old until someone says that to you it feels like your heart has been ripped out of your chest (possibly a bit of an exaggeration).

I moved into my own flat with my boyfriend Stuart.

I love it having my own independence but I do still miss my mum,

I had never realised the amount of stress that comes with moving, we moved into and unfurnished flat so that meant we had to start from scratch we had nothing but my bed, stuarts tv and a kettle, we moved in just over 3 weeks ago and we are now just starting to get the place in order. 

Tomorrow me and Stuart are going back to Centre Parks Monday to Friday then once I come back and am planning on making YouTube videos again as I haven't done a proper one since last summer, I don't know why I stopped I was really enjoying making them and editing them. I have my Camera, Tripod and Lights somewhere in the flat I just need to find them. On my blog this is where most of you seem to be so please if you have any requests then please let me know I can do home stuff or beauty I would love to do Vlogging but I am a bit shy I tried it once before and I saw a few people looking at me so my camera went back in my bag and that was it but on my days off me and Stuart try to get away from the city and go to the coast so I might take you guys along with us, and take a look at the west coast of Scotland.

So everyone that has just been a few things that I have been getting up to since the last time I wrote a blog post. I hope that you enjoyed reading it.

My Weekend Morning Routine

Hello everyone 

I Haven't wrote a blog post in such a long time I just haven't had the motivation to write anything.

So here is something that I do pretty much every Saturday(I have to work on a Sunday) My Weekend Morning Routine.

First of all when I wake up I will usually check my phone.

Then I will take my snuggly bright Pink housecoat then shuffle down stairs and make my breakfast usually I will have some cereal or toast and a cup of coffee. 

After I finish my Breakfast I go back upstairs and have a shower, the products I use in the shower are Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub and Original Source Lime shower gel I like to use this in the morning because I feel that it wakes me up. After my shower I brush my teeth and wash my face, I wash my face with Sanctuary Fresh Faced Purifying Wash and Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub. 

Then go back into my room and start getting ready I always use Bioderma which I have been using for quite a a while now I did a blog post on it you can read it HERE and I put on my moisturiser the one that I have been using is the Simple Kind to Skin+ Protecting Moisture Cream SPF30. 

On a day to day basis I generally wear contact lenses but on my days off I like to give my eyes a bit of a rest so after I have done my make up I will wear my glasses. On my days off I try to be as natural as possible because I feel that my skin need to breath and not be clogged with make up every day so I tend to just use a bit of concealer just under my eyes and any Red areas I have been using the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer and blending that in the the Real Techniques Contour Brush, the only other make up item that I use is Benefit They're Real Mascara.

Then get ready, at the weekend I like to keep it quite casual so jeans and a top is usually my go to outfit, because the weather in Glasgow isn't the best my footwear tends to change between Converse, UGG boots or Hunter wellies. As its October and starting to Cool down I am leaning more towards the UGGs and Hunters.

So everyone that is My Weekend Morning Routine. I hope that you enjoy reading it. Recently I just don't seem to have any motivation to make youtube videos or blogposts but I am pretty sure that will pass and I will be back to a routine.

Whats In My Bag

My New YouTube Channel

Hello everyone I am sorry for not putting a blog post up in quite a few months and the reason for that is because if any of you follow me on Twitter you will have noticed that I have started up my own youtube channel. I am still going to blog put probably about once a month my videos will go up every week I film on a Wednesday and the video will either go up between the Thursday to the Saturday depending how much the gods of WiFi want to help me and on how long the video actually is. I will link my first video at the end so you can go and have a little look and it would mean the world to me if you would like and subscribe. If you have your own youtube channel please leave a link to your channel in the comments and I will return the favour.

MINI HAUL

Hello everyone sorry about the length of time I haven't written a blog post I have either not had the time or I don't have any motivation but good news for you I have wrote down about 5 or 6 reviews for  your eyes to have a look at. Today I went into town and I bought a few little things from Primark, Boots and The Body Shop.

I am going to start off with Primark because it was the first place that I went to and I only bought one thing in there and that was to get randomly socks. Today I had on my Nike Air Force1 trainer, I love them the only thing I don't like about them is the back just at the ankle they are quite high and they rub against my foot the socks that I had on where quite short so the socks where not touching my ankle so I bought a 5 packet of socks and I thought they where quite cute.

SOCKS £2.00

I then when into Boots I needed more shampoo I have been using Toni and Guy Damage shampoo and conditioner. I only went in for the shampoo but Boots where having a 3 for 2 sale on their haircare products so I thought I would get the conditioner as well and just put it away until I was ready to use it. For the 3rd item I didn't see anything in the Toni and Guy section to get anything else from the range. Next to the Toni and Guy section in Boots was the Charles Worthington section I have heard good things about their Volume and Bounce Texturising Spray and that it is a dupe for the Oribe Dry Texturing Spray so I got the Charles Worthington one just to try it. I then went to the make up section and in the Rimmel stand I got the Soft Kohl Kajal Sable Brown eyeliner and White eyeliner and last thing from Boots from the Soap N Glory lipstick in the colour Naked Beige 

TONI AND GUY SHAMPOO £6.49

TONI AND GUY CONDITIONER £6.49

CHARLES WORTHINGTON VOLUME AND BOUNCE SPRAY £6.99

RIMMEL SOFT KOHL EYELINERS £2.99 EACH

SOAP N GLORY LIPSTICK £9.00

The last place I went to was The Body Shop I only purchased 2 things the Vitamin E Face Moisturiser and the Vitamin E Overnight Serum In Oil, I needed a good moisturiser because in the morning when I am putting on my make up I am finding that my face looks really dry and making my make up look very powdery on my skin. I have also been wanting to buy the Keihls Midnight Recovery Concentrate which is quite pricey I have also never used an Overnight Face Serum and I would rather use a more reasonable priced one and if it doesn't work I haven't wasted a lot of money. 

VITAMIN E MOISTURE CREAM £10.00 

VITAMIN E OVERNIGHT SERUM-IN-OIL £12.00

So everyone I hope that you all enjoyed my little Mini Haul as I said at the start I am really sorry about not writing any blog posts for about a month but that will be me back to normal. I have also finally got a laptop so I don't have any embarrassing spelling mistakes anymore (Well hopefully).

As always please do let me know if there is anything that you want me to do my own personal review on let me know.

Pamper Evening

Hello everyone seeing as it is a Saturday night and I am having a lazy night in I thought I would do a bit of a long post because my recent blog posts have been quite short. So I am going to have a pamper evening. I have pamer evening quite a lot through the year and change a few things depending on the season. So here we go my pamper evening... Enjoy...

The first thing I do before I begin my pamper evening is start to fill my bath. The bath in my house is so slow at filling up the bath so by the time I have finished doing everything it will almost be finished. The second thing I do is take off my make up and clean my face you should never go into a bath with your face full of make up because it can clog your pores. 

To remove my make up I use the body shop sumptuous camomile cleansing balm all over my face with wet hands and rub it into my skin in small circular motions, then I use mac cleanse of oil to take off my eye make up the with a warm wet muslin cloth. I then use bioderma and a clean cotton pad all over my face just to make sure that I have all exes make up and oil off my face.

In the bath I like to use lush bath bomb in twilight you can use any but this one is just my personal favourite, I also use a bubble bar the one I use is Dorothy it's not my favourite but it does the same job. Then I use l'occitane foaming bath in lavender this is a new product I have been using my boyfriend got me and so far I have been enjoying it.

I enjoy using candles I like the different smell from the candles and the lush bubble bar and bath bomb I feel a lot more relaxed the ones I use is Yankee candle soft linen and just cheap ikea ones.

   The Yankee candle is not lit because my lighter stopped working.

Then I will go for a bath not much to say really take your clothes of and get into the bath. I go for a bath for about 30-45 mins and top up the hot water. There is no need for you to go in for that length of time I just like going for a bath and I kind of milk it the time I take but the way I see it because my bath takes so long to run I would rather take it al long as I possibly can.

After my bath I use a clay mask I use soap n glory no clogs allowed. Use about a grape size amount and put it all over your face missing out your eyes and then add a small about of water and leave it on for about 5 minutes until it turns blue then wash it off with warm water and pat it dry with with a clean face towel.

I then put on the rest of my skin care Hydraluron a clear serum that helps keep you skin hydrated Kiehls creamy avocado eye cream I put a thick layer under my eyes and in the morning my under eyes are not puffy or dry. 

So everyone that's is my pamper evening essentials I hope that you enjoyed reading it. Please do leave me a comment and leave me a reply to your essentials to your pamper evening. As always I am sorry for the grammar and punctuation still on my iPad new laptop is coming next week (woohoo)
