My Night Time Routine

Welcome!
Here's a little glimpse at what I'm using last thing before bed, and first thing in the morning at the moment.

Step One- Cleanser
Firstly I use the Purifying Foamy Face Wash by Champneys (£7.50)It helps to regulate& balance oil levels and removes all facial makeup/ dirt.I use my hands to rub this all over my face in circular motions. I pay special attention to my pores as it helps to remove them. Then I rinse it off.

Step Two- Eye Makeup Remover

Secondly I use the Camomile Eye Makeup Remover by The Body Shop (£8.00)Using a cotton pad i gently rub my eyes with this not only to remove eye makeup but to also to leave my lids& lashes feeling refreshed and cleansed. I don't find this too overpowering as it is fragrance-free. 

Step 3- Toner
Then I use the Shine be Gone Toner by Garnier (£7.59). It clears and minimises my pores and leaves my skin refreshed. I also use a cotton pad and apply lightly on my skin. It smells really fresh as it is enriched with Green Tea.




Step 4- Lotion Exfoliator
Next I use the Clarifying Lotion by Clinique (£12.50). I use this to create smooth, glowing skin that looks healthier. I use a cotton pad and apply all around my face and neck. It is very gentle so perfect for sensitive skin.




Step 5- Moisturiser
Lastly I use All About Eyes by Clinique (£26.00) and Strawberry Body Butter by The Body Shop (£13.00). I apply my Eye Moisturiser around my eyes to prevent circles and puffs. I apply my face moisturiser around my whole face to soften it. I apply both using my fingers.

Wish List

Welcome!

So today I thought I would share my beauty and fashion items that are currently on my wishlist!

This is 'Charlotte' from NARS Cosmetic's Audacious Lipstick Collection. It is retailed at £24 ($32) which to be honest is pretty pricey for a lipstick. It is a brightened medium dark red with subtle cool undertones. I really like Berry Lipsticks as they are good for day and night. a cheaper altrnative to this could be Hazard from Topshop which is only £8 ($12.10) or a even cheaper alternative could be Shade 8 from MUA for only £1 ($1.51)

This is the Naked Basics Palette from Urban Decay retailed at £22 ($29) It comes with 5 colours ranging from light to dark. The colours included are called Venus, Foxy,W.O.S,Naked 2, Faint and Crave. Unfortunatly you cannot buy the shades separately. I really like this palette because it is basic so you get all the shades you need for a simple smokey eye look. I thought i would try this out before getting a full Naked palette to see if i enjoy a smaller, cheaper one first. A cheaper alternative to this could be The Golden Aura Eye Palette from Topshop which only has 4 colours. it is priced at £12 ($18.15) or an even cheaper version could be Nudes Eyeshadow Palette made by Technic, you can buy from Boohoo. This 6 golden shades are only £4 ($6.05)!

This is the Pink Twist Lock Clutch Bag from River island that was £22 but is in the sale for £7 currently, I really like this as I only have really big bags so a clutch bag would be perfect for parties or, as it has straps, for going out shopping for example.

The final item that is on my wishlist is Tanya Burr's Midnight Sparkle nail polish from her collection. You can buy this from mulitiple places including Superdrug where is it retailed at £5.99. I really like this nail polish because it has tiny sparkles in and is a lovely purple-ly colour.

What is on your wishlist? Do you have any of these products if so what do you think of them?
