PRETTY PINK LIPS

Hello lovelies, I thought I would share with you a handful of my pretty pink lipsticks, you wouldn't believe it but I actually gave a lot of my pink lipsticks away to friends and family but I still have a little thing for pale pink lipsticks, they're close to the nude family maybe thats why I love them so much?

MY CURRENT NIGHT TIME SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Hello lovelies, I hope you've all had a lovely week, isn't Sunday just the best day for really relaxing and pampering yourself after a busy week? These are the products I am currently using of a night time not including extras like face masks etc but this is what I usually use on a nightly basis.

Firstly I start with some DHC Deep cleansing oil, this stuff really is amazing! If you're one of those lazy people who can't be bothered to take your make up of after a tiring day you need this in your life! Just rub some of this into your face with some warm water and your make up literally runs of your face, its like magic liquid, yup even those stubborn mascaras and eyeliner, all gone after a good scrub on your face with this and washed away with a warm muslin cloth. I then like to double cleanse of a night so I use Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, this is the limited edition version they had out near Christmas, it smells amazing! I much prefer the scents to the limited edition versions to their standard one, but it works the same. This also gets rid of all your make up but this leaves your skin feeling so clean, refreshed and sparkly, its creamy and soft and I will forever use Liz Earle to cleanse my face with of an evening. Then twice a week I like to exfoliate my skin, to do this I use the Clarins Gentle Refiner exfoliating cream*, it isn't too abrasive but abrasive enough to feel like it is doing something to my skin, it has a pleasant smell to it and the little beads do wonders over my problematic areas, I have noticed such a big difference in my skin since using this and not skipping a day or night of my skin care routine. I love to spritz my favorite toner all over my face using Lush Tea tree water*, this is so cooling and refreshing on my skin after cleansing it, it's like my skin goes ahh once its spritzed all over then wiped with a cotton pad. My skin immediately looks brighter and glowy and the tea tree obviously helps to keep those pesky spots away. After toning I like to give my lips a vigorous exfoliate using Lush Santa's lip scrub*, this is my favorite lip scrub and it smells amazing, you can only get it near Christmas time at Lush but just stock up! It does last you a good while though, the smell makes it so tempting to eat, coca cola and this makes your lips feel a million dollars afterwards. Next step for me is serum, I have been using this a good few months now Keihls Midnight Recovery Concentrate, this serum just sinks into your skin like a dream, I only use about two tiny drops and its enough to cover all over my face, it helps clear my skin up but also hydrates it and keeps my tired mummy skin looking more radiant and healthy. Then lastly I moisturise under my eyes and face, for under my eyes I very generously got given the Bobbi Brown Hydrating eye cream* at an event I went too last year and I have not stopped using it since I got it, it really does make my eyes feel hydrated and helps a little with my tired bags, but I need to drink more water and sleep more to help prevent that.. but it sinks into my skin perfectly so I am not waiting around for ages and its very light weight. It has aloe vera and witch hazel extract inside to soothe and comfort the eye area as well as jojoba seed, avocado oil and squalane to condition and revive continuously, my under eyes have never been treated so well. Then to be honest I use any night cream at the minute, I have sorted all my skin care stash out and have a ridiculous amount so I am trying to get through my mountain of stash so I am trying out the Eucerin Even brighter night cream*, I love how this also sinks into my skin nicely yet it feels quite thick, which I like as I know its being soaked into my skin overnight ot really replenish it, it does make my skin look more brighter in the morning, I can't believe how good my skin is looking lately using all these products and not missing a night out, it really does make a huge difference sticking to your routine and obviously drinking a lot more water and getting those eight hours sleep a night, I admitdely don't always get my full eight hours but close enough and my skin is very thankful to it and these great products.

If you would like to know a little bit more about each product just ask away in the comments below or email me, I would be happy to help, obviously we all have different skin types and concerns but some products can work amazingly with all skin types, I have combination skin, an oily t-zone and dry cheeks and around my nose everywhere else pretty normal and I also worry about getting wrinkles already and these products do wonders to my skin and concerns.

JANUARY FOTD.

Happy New Year All, I thought I would start my fresh first post in January with a 'face of the day' post, I also now plan to do a fotd once a month in 2015 as I like playing around with new looks and it shows all you lot the products I have been using. I hope all of you have recovered from the drunk fueled festivities and feeling fresh and excited for new adventures that this year may bring you and you enjoy reading my blog throughout the year.

Rimmel 25 Hour Lasting finish foundation with comfort serum, Soft beige - I most likely always start my day with this stuff, it is my favorite foundation. If I'm not going anywhere special I tend to just ditch the primer in all honesty and I don't even need it with this foundation it stays put all day, doesn't go patchy or oxidase throughout the day it just stays lovingly on my face, what a gem. 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair - Again one of my most used favorites, this concealer is just the bees knees, it is super affordable, lasts all day, creamy and covers pimples and big black bags a treat, well almost hides the bags.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, Peach glow - I use this daily too, I have had this powder for absolute ages and although I have hit pan it just keeps going and going, under five pounds and keeps my make up put a treat, I went for peach glow as I think it gives my skin a little pick me up, it isn't cakey at all and feels silky smooth on my skin.

Illamasqua Brow Cake, Thunder - This has been the best purchase for my eyebrows, I have tried lots of high street brands and there all great and do the job but this stuff will just sit fab on your brows and not budge at all through out the day, you can be as natural as you like with this or do big bold define eye brows, whatever takes your fancy, well worth investing in though.

Make Up Revolution Aqua Seal Liquid Eye Primer*

Make Up Revolution Pure Pigments, Agonise* - I mixed these both together for the perfect base, the liquid eye primer is amazing, super cheap but keeps your eye make up look on for hours! I was so impressed with this and mixing this with this pigment or a mac pigment just makes the eye look more intense, lasts for ages and leaves no creases at all, but I wasn't after a creamy/wet eye shadow look so after I mixed the both together and created the perfect base I dabbed a bit more of the pigment on with a different eye brush and created a more intense brown/smokey eye look which I loved.

Make Up Revolution All day and night eyeliner, Channeling my inner* - For a pretty but more subtle look to the normal black dramatic eyeliner I usually go for on top I chose this stunning bronze eyeliner to break the eye shadow up a bit and add a bit more definition. 

Max Factor Masterpiece transform high impact volumising mascara, Black - The wand itself as a little arch going up to create those high impact volumising lashes with the tiniest bristles to make sure your eye lashes have no nasty clumps involved. It really makes your lashes stand out, volumising and lengthens them immensely, fab Christmas present of the mother in law.

Bare Minerals Bronzer, Faux tan - This bronzer is so smooth and soft on my skin it glides on a treat for the perfect subtle contour or a bronze all over the skin.

Seventeen Blusher, First flush* - This is quite a dark pink blusher, very warm undertones perfect for winter to give your cheeks a flushed look, rosy but warm and I have been using this a lot lately its beautiful and so affordable.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish, Soft and Gentle - This is my favorite highlighter, can you see the glow above my cheek bones? I always get complimented on this whenever I wear it, my mum loves it! It makes my skin look so radiant and glowy with the most gorgeous iridescent sparkles. 

Rimmel Vinyl Jelly Gloss lip liner, Choccie - I think my mother in law gave me this a couple of months ago as she said she never wore it and to be honest it had been in my muji storage for a while till I thought finally I'll try this out, I used this all over the lips for a base and coated it with the Clarins Natural lip perfector for a nude/brown lip. I am not one for the brown lip but this is growing on me.

Clarins Natural lip perfector, 06 - I am in love with this, it isn't sticky or gloopy at all it glides on my lips like a dream and makes them feel smooth and supple, although you can see I have very dry lips at the moment this made me lips feel so smooth after application and gives out such a subtle nude lip, perfect with any eye look and a very handy size for your handbag if needed for touch ups.

I hope you liked this months quite neutral make up look, I love face of the day posts so if you have posted one recently be sure to pop your link to it below in the comments.
