My skincare routine

I've seen a few people posting their skincare routines and so I thought I'd join in and show you all mine!

So, from left to right we have; Skinology Tea Tree Blackhead Cleanser, Pure Skincare Eye Make Up Remover, Skinololgy Tea Tree Face Wash and St Ives Naturally Clean Apricot Scrub.

I tend to suffer more from blackheads than any other kind of spot. They are usually right on my lip line as well which is rather disgusting and very annoying!

I try to use the blackhead cleanser at least once a day but morning and evening if I remember. It makes my skin feel so clean and fresh! I also weirdly like seeing how much dirt was on my face, please tell me I'm not the only one?!

 The eye make up remover, I obviously only use if I've been wearing make up that day. It's so gentle but gets rid of everything without irritating my eyes.

Now the face wash and scrub, I alternate between these two. I try to only use the scrub 3-4 times a week as it says on the packet, any more and I could do damage to my skin! But it smells soooo good how can anyone resist!? In between the days I don't use this, I turn to the Skinology Face Wash, this is quite gentle but with a strong scent of tea tree. 

I also have the Skinology Tea Tree Intensive Spot Treatment but I very rarely have to use it. Only if I great a great big dirty spot that makes me recoil every time I look in the mirror!

Where to buy:

The Skinology items are available from Wilkinsons and both the items cost 98p. I love this value range and will definitely be purchasing again! 

Pure Skincare can be found in Poundland and I spoke in more detail about the St Ives Scrub in this post here.

What is your skincare routine? What products can you not live without and what ones could you do without?

Treating myself

As the title suggests, I treated myself yesterday and now I'm here to talk about the things I bought! 

Some are pretty self explanatory, others I will talk a bit more about.

Nail Polish Remover Pads

I bought these simply because I tend to find nail polish remover really dries out my nails and makes them look horrible! Hoping these pads do a bit of a better job. If these aren't up to scratch, I'll have to keep an eye out for the remover pots that you dip your fingers in. I've heard good things about them!

Nail Polish

My wee nail polish collection is growing, and so it should! There are so many different shades out there by different companies. It's hard trying to decide what colour to do my nails some morning!

I chose the Revlon polish out poundland (there's a surprise!) and the Missguided polish came with this months Cosmopolitan.

The Revlon polish is shade 799 Plum Night and I'm not 100% sure but I belive the Missguided is called Missmatch. There are no other indicators towards shade number or name.

Palmolive Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

I absolutely love this shampoo and the bottle I had was finished. So I bought another! This stuff works wonders on my hair, I don't think I'll be looking out for any other shampoos for a while. 

Collection 2000 Colour Intense Trio

I know, I know, I have way too many eyeshadows already but I couldn't resist these two trios. They came packaged together so it was both of them for £1 If that's not a bargain, I don't know what is!

Lovely delicate looking colours but I need to invest in a primer and see what they are like combined with that.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub

So I received a 7ml sample of this a while back (I was sure I posted about it but can't find it!) Used it as soon as I got it and fell in love. I'm always wary about using scrubs as I have quite delicate skin, as soon as I tried this I knew I would have to buy it. The scrubbing beads aren't too harsh on my skin, it smells divine and leaves you with lovely soft, fresh skin!

I'm going to shock you all, but I didn't get this from poundland! I was out getting my fortnightly shop and took a wander up the skincare aisle in Tesco. Saw this and remembered I had a £1 off voucher in my purse (god bless coupons!) With the voucher, this only cost me £2.99, not too much to break the bank and for such a lovely product as well!

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more St Ives products.
