Skincare Routine...

Here is my skincare routine which i go through everyday after work. I go through a LOT of cotton wool pads every month!! I just hate my skin feeling dirty!

Firstly i use Botanics eye remover, half oil and half water it does a wonderful job of removing everything!

Then i use this Loreal make up remover/toner. I dont use it as a toner though. Its an excellent make up remover, and has such a nice clean smell. I am nearly out of this but i spied it in superdrug for £5 so i will definately be repurchasing.




Then i will was my face, usually with st ives apricot cleaner (not pictured), and use the body shop facial brush to exfoliate as i go!



When i dont use the st ives, i use Macs volcanic ash exfoliator for a deeper clean!

I then tone with Botanics toner, i love this and it makes my face feel just that extre bit clean!

I then use Cliniques dramatically different moisturizing gel, which im also nearly out of! I love love love this stuff, it makes my face so smooth and its such a nice base for make up.

Or if its night time i will apply olays double action night cream, this is so lovely to apply because its so thick, you feel like you're going to bed super moisturised!

So that was my skincare routine! If anyone knows of a better/cheaper alternative to cliniques dramatically different gel, please let me know!! :)

Make Up Storage

Here is a sneak peek at some of my make up. This isnt everything, all my foundations, powders, bronzers and mac palette are stored in another travel case thing, but its a bit filthy to show right now! I will clean it and get it on here at some point!!

So i bought two sets of drawers from ebay, at around £4 each. They are perfect for make up, but i feel like they are getting a bit crowded now, so i may need to upgrade!!

Top drawer...Eyeliners, Primers, Mascaras...

Second Drawer...Mac holiday Palettes, Sleek Palettes,
Mac pigments, Barry M dazzledusts, Gel liners...

Third Drawer...random single eyeshadows! a lot of no.7!

Fourth Drawer...lipsticks, liners, glosses, lipsalves!

Fifth Drawer...Blushers!

Bottom Drawer...False Eyelashes, glue, curlers...

So i know theres not much but i get by! And its building up every payday :)

How do you store your make up?

FOTD and NOTD

Well i havent done one of these in what feels like years, so since ive almost finished packing and i needed to apply some slap to head into town, i figured id photo it! Once again apologies for lack of posts recently...packing takes up all my time!

Oh and I had my hair trimmed the other day so its slightly shorter, not that youll really notice!

On my face im wearing...
Bourjoirs 10 hour sleep effect foundation in Rose Clair
Elfs Complexion Perfection
Mememe poppy tint
Urban Decays blush in Quickie (love this!)
Elfs golden bronzer over the top! Not that you can see any of my blush or highlight as the daylight has drowned me out!!

Eyes just kept simple!
Urban decay primer potion
Macs smoke and mirroes palette, spell no.9 all ove the lid and deception in the crease
Loreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss eyeliner for a double wing (but you cant see it in any of the pics!)
Rimmels curve effect mascara!

Lips originally i had Prestige lipliner in silk all over and then h&m lipgloss in Pink Dreams, which i LOVE and highly recommend for 99p!!
Then i applied Rimmels Tell No One all over for a brighter lip!

My nails are an OLD no7 colour, its a gorgeous goldy pink duochrome effect, i love wearing it and im nearly out!!

Wearing a simple dress from topshop, youve probably seen it before! with tights, leopard pumps and a leather jacket!

I went to town to go and get some topshop make up...it had "make up in store" on the window, but i got in, and nowhere could it be seen!! i was about to ask the assistant after about 10 mins wandering round this pretty massive topshop...and there i spied on top of the retro sweets bit...a line of nail polishes and on the other side a row of ugly lipglosses!!! SO NOT IMPRESSED!!! what a let down! So i shall have to wait to get some topshop make up when i move to portsmouth in two weeks! God damn aberdeens shitty stores!!

So i came away with these cute earrings instead! For £4 i couldnt say no!!

Anyway...hope you are having a lovely day! :)

Wish List...

I havent posted for a while because im moving in three weeks, and ive been so busy packing and organising and working!! I also have zilch money, so i have done no shopping!!

But here are some things i want...and on my next payday i will buy! So look out for a little haul coming up...



Tangle Teezer! Ive heard sooo much about this product! I want one NOW! My hair is a nightmare, so knotty and it really hurts to brush or comb after a shower. I try to slap on as much conditioner as i can and comb it whilst still in the shower but sometimes even this doesnt help. I WILL be buying one of these and testing it out!



Topshop Make Up! It kills me that i cant go to topshop and buy their make up!


I have my eye on the cream blushes, as does everyone! The mascara and also some nail polishes! I think their packaging looks so cute and i cant wait to get my hands on some!



Superdrugs MUA range, just for the hell of it because its cheap!!



Beaute's Liqui-Gel stain in flouron...£25 for a small tube but pixiwoo's video where sam uses this is amazing and i want want want!!

I need to fill more of my MAC palette because i want to get onto number two! And although i love the colours i own already, it makes me sad that i cant open up a palette and see different colours every morning when i apply my make up! Any recommended colours for me to try next??


I will be losing the internet in around two weeks for my move but im hoping to get a dongle (any suggestions or reviews on dongles greatly appreeciated!!) so i can get back online when im in my new home in portsmouth!!



I am still reading blogs everyday and loving them! So keep up the good work girls!! :):)
