My Skin Care Routine.

Hello girls,

alot of you have been asking me to do a post on my skincare routine, so here it is!

I know i only got this the other day but i'm already loving the liz earle cleanse and polish! This is my new addition to my skin care routine.

Every morning and every night i use the cleanse and polish, by filling my sink with warm water then applying two pumps of the cleanser to my face, rubbing it in using circular movements then rinising it off with a muslim cloth an patting my face dry.

After I've cleansed i then apply my simple soothing facial toner, I apply this with a cotton pad. This just removes any traces of  the cleanser and temporialy closes my pores ready for moisturisation.

After i've applied my toner i use my caudaile SOS serum that i got in this monhs glossy box just to keep my skin fully moisturised, after that i finally move on to my last step which is applying my monu moisture rich collagen cream.

And then i'm all done!

What's your skincare routine?

See you all soon!

Sunday portrait week 1.

Sundays for me is a day of rest, But on saturday night i stayed at my nans so i was up at around 10 which is pretty early for me! haha

I had a lovely lamb roast dinner followed by a homemade plum tart which was delisssh!

The weather has been horrible, so i was stuck indoors all day and getting to sleep was a nightmare..

My week didn't start off too great, I was off school because i was so ill, i had a horrible sore throat and was constantly sneezing, not nice! By wednesday i was so bored of sitting at home in bed i forced myself to go in.. what a good little girl i am haha. 

Schools pretty serious at the moment, i'm doing so many exams, I recently did my maths exam and got a B which i was really pleased about and i've done a few others but i'm still waiting for my results.

I've finally got a job, at a turkish barbers, its not amazing but its money! i can't wait to start and get my first pay cheque ha ha i'm saving up for a new camera.

The one thing that makes my sundays is TOWIE i get all snuggled in bed with a nice cuppa and enjoy a good giggle.

How's your week been?

see you all soon!

Fashion Fix. #1

I've decided I'm going to be doing a series of posts called 'fashion fix' its where I tell you you a latest trend, show you a selection of my favourite items following that trend and I give you a few tips on how to wear the items.

it may sound complicated as I'm not very good at explaining myself ha ha! but you'll understand once you've read all of below.

Crop Tops.

Crop tops are a big thing at the moment, celebrities from Shenae Grimes to Cher Lloyd have been sporting this look.

They are quite a tricky trend because one you have to have the figure to pull them off and secondly you have to make them look pretty and femine and not tacky!

1. Do Choose a shirt with a tie front instead of a full on crop top, these just give a little more coverage and look very pretty and girly.

River island - £18.
2. Don't overdo the Tan, you want a bronzed belly not an orange one! Being an Essex girl I am a big fan of fake tan but one thing I hate is girls who wear crop tops and have an orange belly hanging out, there's nothing more that screams tacky!

3. Do wear an A-line skirt with your crop top, it will help your waist look teeny-tiny even if its not. 

3. Team High waisted bottoms with your crop top. Your Upper middle is usually slimmer so this will be more flattering.

5. Don't wear your crop top with leggings, really? Can you not notice that camel toe you've got!

6. Don't squash your boobs into a crop top.. this might be hard for you girls who have a D cup or over so maybe you should give this trend a miss!

7. Add Extra layers underneath if your not super body confident or if its too cold outside! a black top paired with a white lace/crochet crop top looks lovely!

8.Don't flash too much flesh! if you have your belly out you don't need your legs out too, not that anyone in the UK would even think of doing that in this weather, lol you'd be surprised! 

plain and simple - topshop. £28

miss selfridge - £20.

My first experience.. Liz Earle Cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser.

  

As you may already know from my Haul post today I got the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I've wanted this product for so long as its been raved about alot!

I've just used it for the very first time and I just want to quickly share my thoughts on it, because I've only used it once I cant really comment on whether I love it or hate it yet, but so far its looking good!

It took all my make up off lovely and just made me feel all clean, I was expecting a mousse cream to come out of the bottle but its just a really thick creamy substance.

I simply Filled my sink with warm water and then applied two pumps of the cleanse and polish onto my face, (dry) and then i used my fingertips to gently massage it into my face and neck. The Lady at the Liz Earle counter suggested i work in circular movements from the centre of my face outwards, which i did. I massaged it over my eyelids and eyelashes last to avoid getting eye make up all over my face.

I then rinsed my muslim cloth in the warm water and wringed it out so it was damp, not wet and then used the cloth to wipe off the cream using a clean section for each part of my face. After all the cream had been removed i rinsed my skin with cool water and pat my skin dry.

My skin feels really lovely and soft and very moisturised, not dry at all. Most cleansers i have used tend to dry out my skin, so at the moment this one is looking good!

Have any of you got the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish? What are your thoughts on it?

See you all soon!

Haul. - H&M, Liz Earle, Primark + more.

Hello lovelies!

So today I went for a little shopping trip at westfields in Stratford. Me and my mum didn't have anything to do so thought we'd go have a little spend up, I didn't get that much though but nothing really caught my eye.

Firstly we went into boots because I really wanted to pick up the real techniques stippling brush as alot of people on you tube have this and really rave about it, so here I am in boots hunting down the make up brushes after 10minutes of searching I finally find what I am looking for, no questions about it I was going home with this brush! I was expecting it to be around £20 but surprisingly it was a really good price at £11.99, bargain!

It feels so soft! I love the fact that it stands up on its own so will sit perfectly on my dressing table and I love the fact that its pink! I haven't used it yet but as 

                                               soon as I do I'll give you my opinion!

Then we went into primark. If I'm honest I don't really like the primark in westfields at Stratford I think its rubbish, they never have nice clothing in there and its all abit mix matched, I wouldn't say its the worst primark because that's definitely the one in Oxford street! But its not great, so i tried to find some nice clothing pieces but was unsuccessful nothing caught my eye so instead i headed over the underwear bit which is probably the best part of this shop! and a few bra's, most of the bra's I got are just plain so i can wear under white tops but i got two cute patterned ones as shown below.

mocha bra - £5. came as a set with the bottoms. Terracotta bra -£6 both primark.



For ages I've been wanting the Liz Earle cleanse and polish but I've never really been anywhere that sells it,
 i know John lewis stock it and there is one in westfields so we went in there to check it out and see what they were selling,
they had a Liz Earle counter so I rushed over to pick up the cleanse and polish before I could think about it and change my mind, the woman on the counter was really helpful and suggested I buy the starter pack that comes with 2 Muslim clothes,
I was expecting this to be around £25 but again to my surprise it was only £14! I could not believe it.  Again I've heard so many good things about this product and
cannot wait to use it.

Then we had a quick peak in H&M there was a few items I saw that I did really like, there was some print jeans I wanted but they didn't have them in my size and there was some maxi dresses I really liked but decided not to buy them until the weather gets abit nicer :( so instead I settled for a new baby doll nightie and a sparkly sequin jumper.

£24.99 H&M

Close up view.

Baby doll nightie H&M - £12.99


Hope you liked my post! See you all soon!

I'm familiar with burt's bees but i've never actually purchased anything from it. I love the smell of this body lotion and love the rich creamy consistency. A great product.

Overall. - I love all the products in this months glossy box as I'm really into skincare at the moment, But I'm not really into all organic and eco-friendly things on the market, Although they are probably better for my skin and mean i'm doing good for the environment I find they're too expensive and hard to find. I'd rather stick to brands i know.

If your interested in purchasing glossybox for £10 a month,simply go to 'www.glossbox.co.uk'
