Updated Skincare 'System'


*not a review, a regime*

Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry its been a while, i'm planning on having an 'admin' post up next, explaining the situation, so bare with. 

I thought i'd come back with a 'bang' so to speak, and i'm going to share with you my 'Skincare System'. A few months ago, i had a really bad outbreak of spots, which i think is down to stress and eating unhealthily, but i thought it was time to raise the skin care game, and blast them spots!

I'm really happy with the outcome of the 'switch up' as I've discovered some truly great products that are definitely worth purchasing!


Face wash: So the face wash I've been using recently is this Moisturizing Facial Wash by Simple. If you've been reading from me for a while you'll know i'm a big fan of the Simple products. And this ones no different, i lather it up with water smother it all allover my face, and Bobs my uncle. *Cleany Clean Clean Face*
Moisturizing Prep: So before i purchase the Benefit skincare mini's i'd never really heard of moisturizing prep, but i'm so glad i've discovered it! I apply it before my moisturizer, and it just seems to help my moisturizer moisturize? I love it and i would consider buying it full size!


Day cream: I picked this up from The Original Factory Shop for just £1 and jumped at the chance to try it. It gets the job done. It contains pomegranate oils, which help to moisturize! The thing i loveabout this cuticuraone is the fact that it doesn't make me look really oily, which trust me, is a very difficult ask with my skin.
Eye cream: Currently, i'm using the It's Potent eye cream by Benefit! I mainly use this in a morning to awaken my eye area, an add extra moisture (i don't think i could possible incorporate that word anymore. Haha) I'm not a huge fan of the really thick eye creams, so this ones a winner because it's nice and light!

Lip Balm: Now, as you all probably know, BABY LIPS came to the UK a while ago, and i was desperate to try them, as there was so much hype around them in America! I first bought, the cherry one and loved it so went back to pick up just a plain nourishing one! I came back with this minty one and its changed my life for the better! I Love it!


Spot Gel: So to wrap things up we come to the 'Spot zapping gel' In terms of 'spot zapping' this one is a gem! Both me and one of my closest friends use this to fight those foes! And whats better? Its under £1... what a bargain! 


Hope you've enjoyed the post!

Montagne Jeunesse


Hola, my little beauties! Over the past couple of weeks  I've tried a whole lot of the Montagne Jeunesse face masks, and i just wanted to right a quick post on this fruit smoothie one!

Firstly it smells delicious! It literally smells divine! It smells really fruity, and its main notes are Raspberry And Mango! 

So this mask is a drying pore de-cloging one, that you leave on for 10-15 minutes until it turns dry, from a thick cream. When dry you can wash off with warm water! Personally i think that the peel of masks are less messy, but these are still great! Your skin immediately feels smoother and clean, however i haven't really noticed and difference in terms of pores or long term effects. I think these masks are great for chilling with friends relaxing at home or even at a pamper party! If your looking for a products that's going to miraculously change your skin, you should probably look elsewhere. However i would definitely repurchase these, as there relatively cheap, and do make you feel nice and soft! 

I do recommend these face masks! I would give these 7/10
Hope you enjoyed today's post lovelies!

Bath time Beauties...


I don't tend to be much of a bath kinda gal in summer i tend to go for showers, but in winter, i can't get enough baths... When i have a shower, i don't feel as pamper somehow, and i have no clue why, i also tend to use more 'luxurious' products too. And i thought i'd give you a quick insight into what i use in a 'pamper' bath

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil:-  I don't always use this specific one, but i always use a hair mask. I was lucky enough to receive this one for Christmas, and have tried it out around three times, and so far i'm loving it, i'm thinking about doing a review soon so look out for that! But in general, using a hair mask, stops frizzies, helps split ends and makes hair silky soft. I don't use a hair mask every time i wash my hair, as i have naturally oily hair... once a week is enough for me! 


Soap & Glory Smoothie star Breakfast Scrub:- I LOVE this stuff! It smells like fudge / maple syrup! Yum... Its really good for exfoliating elbows and knees, and is also good for before shaving your legs and fake tanning! Its a very thick consistency,   and a rather harsh scrub, probably not very good for sensitive/ irritable skin (Scrub Of Your Life from soap and glory is a much gentler scrub) It gets rid of dry skin like a dream! I will definitely be repurchasing this, even though its rather pricey for a body scrub. 

Soap & Glory Clean On Me: - This body wash is in soap and glory's signature scent (like hand food and the righteous butter) Its a perfect body wash, and ensures a nice smelling bath time. I saw on one of MissBudgetBeautys videos, that this wash was really good to use when shaving legs, so i thought i'd give it a try, a by-gum its a winner. It leaves my legs feeling silky smooth! Its very creamy and moisturizing perfect for those winter blues!

Space Girl Bath Bomb: If you saw my post on what Abbie got me for Christmas you would have seen that this is my favorite bath bomb from lush. It smells like sweets and whizzes around your bath tub, what more you want? I'm not going to go into too much detail, as i practically did a full review on that post so check it out. But if your not a big fan of lush, you can just replace it with your personal preference.

Finally we come to Soap & Glory's Righteous Butter: - As i said above, its Soap & Glory's signature scent, thick and creamy. I tend to avoid moisturizing my legs (don't tell the beauty bloggers) as i find it such a chore. But since i tried this i can't get enough, i moisturize after every bath/ shower, and i can definitely tell a difference. My skins looking (and feeling) softer and much more moisturized! And the best of it all? It doesn't feel like a chore anymore, i actually enjoy moisturizing!!! 

Hope you enjoyed today's post my little lovilies!!!
