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.

Ombre Hair Care Routine

Welcome!
Today i am posting about what products I use in order to maintain my ombre hair. I used the L'Oreal Paris Preference Wild Ombres in shade No1.

 I use TRESemme shampoo that has colour fade protection. I find this leaves a nice smell as the formula includes Rosemary and Sunflower. It doesn't weigh my hair down or leave any greasiness. Although i havent seen a change in my hair since using, my ombre does work well with this.

 After using my TRESemme shampoo I use the Phil Smith Bomb Shell Shampoo in Blonde Radiance. I use it from the jawbone below as that is where the blonde starts. I feel that my hair is brightened after using this and can definitely feel/see the difference.

I then use the L'Oreal Elvive Shine Conditioner. This conditioner leaves your hair very smooth and i can definitely tell that it leaves a shine in my hair. I feel very clean and refreshed after using this. It is perfect for people with hair prone to dullness. 

 I finally use an Argan Oil hydrating hair mask and this really does what it claims to do. I find Argan Oil really good in between hair cuts as it helps dead ends and general hair growth.I use it from jawbone down and leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing. 

Although I am trying to avoid using heat, when 
I do I make sure i
I use heat protect. I use VO5 heat protect and although you cant see a difference, I feel like this one does the job. This one has lasted ages and I suggest you put it on around 2 minutes before using heat so it isn't wet.

Hope this helps you if you have ombre hair or if you are hoping to get ombred hair.
