Current Favourites



Well this is a kinda monthly favorites/ current favourites as a few of them I haven't been using for a month.
My favourites for this month are; Sleek 'Life's a Peach' blusher, Collection 2000 shimmer shades, Maybelline Colour Tattoo 'On and On Bronze', Collection 2000 sheer loose powder, Garnier Roll-on concealer, Real Techniques contour brush, buffing brush (from the Core Collection) and the blush brush.
The Sleek blusher is one of my most recent purchases and it looks kinda bright in the pan but when its put on your cheek its such a soft colour and looks lovely on the skin. It's also a nice colour for the summer because I prefer more natural make-up or non at all in the summer months. I'd definately recommend this blusher to anyone. I've been using this with the Real Techniques  blush brush, I love this brush! It is so so so soft and puts the right amount on the cheek without it looking too cakey and like you've applied too much blusher.
The Collection 2000 shimmer shades palette I've been using for a highlight lately, it is such a pretty palette and swirling the brush around the whole palette gives your face a nice glow and I've been using the contour brush from Real Techniques as its just the right size and is great. 
Next is the Real Techniques buffing brush again I love this brush so much, its not just a current favourite it might be an ALL TIME favourite! It blends the Garnier Concealer in nicely, I've been liking this abit more this month because it doesn't feel as cakey as the Collection 2000 concealer does at times and gives nice coverage under the eyes too. I've also used it for the Collection 2000 powder, I've been using this as a 'foundation' just to have some kind of coverage on my face as I don't always wear liquid foundation only for nights out really. But the powder is so soft and feels really nice when your put it on your skin. 
Last but not least the Maybelline colour tattoo in 'on and on bronze', it lasts for most of the day when I've worn it and the colour is lovely. It can be blended out to make it look more natural but it can be built up and worn for a more smokey eye.
Other favourites of mine right now which aren't make-up related are; the single We are Young -
Fun. feat. Janelle MonĂ¡e. I absolutely love this song right now, think its the soundtrack to the summer for me, also their album I have downloaded and that is great too! Call My Name - Cheryl (Cole), another feel good summer song, it makes me want to dance about and its just so good. Another favourite right now is ASOS, I'm in love with the website and bought 4 dresses the other day which I'm currently waiting to be delivered. I'm also loving Made in Chelsea, yes I shouldn't but I do. I've always hated it and then I saw everyone talking about it on Twitter, watched it and now I'm obsessed (oh dear)!
I hope your all enjoying this lovely sunshine! I know I am, making the most of it and getting a head start on the tan for the summer without faking it. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'm spending tomorrow infront of the TV watching the League one playoff final Sheffield United v Huddersfield! COME ON YOU BLADES :)

Everyday Skincare Routine


One of my new years resolutions was to have a proper skincare routine that I would use daily and believe it or not I have stuck to this resolution!

The products I've been using are No7 Foaming Cleanser, Garnier Fresh Essentials Refreshing Scrub and Hydrating Day Cream.

I have normal/ combination skin and I feel that all these three products help to keep my skin feeling clean and they work for me without breaking me out and drying my skin out.
So first of all, I use the No7 Foaming Cleanser to cleanse my face, to use the product you just have to wet your face using warm water, use a couple of pumps and then rub it into the face and then wash it off. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. I then use the Garnier Refreshing Scrub, I don't use this every day maybe 2-3 times a week after I have cleansed, I use one squirt as a little goes a long way and mainly concentrate on my nose, chin and forehead as these are the areas that get greasiest the most but I also use it all over my face. I then dry my face off and use the Garnier Fresh Essentials day cream. This hydrates the skin well and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy and dry later in the day, if anyone has normal to combination skin I'd definately recommend the moisturiser. The moisturiser is also lightweight and it's kinda gel like to use.
Both of the Garnier products contain grape water and vitamin E, this smells so nice and are 'fresh' products for the skin. The No7 cleanser has a scent but it isn't too strong and is really nice smelling.


What is your skincare routine? I really want to try the Liz Earle range as I've heard so much good stuff about them so I'm wanting to make my first purchase. But at the moment this skincare routine is working for me!
