My Evening Skincare Routine!

Hey beaut's!

Today I thought I'd talk all things skincare and in particular my evening skincare routine. I watch some videos on YouTube and see people use 10+ products on their face before bed which is fine if that's what your skin needs but personally for me I'm not about that life, and have found four holy grail skincare products that I now repurchase over and over so I thought I'd share them with you all today and talk you through my routine. 

Firstly it's all about having a good ole cleanse, this is my favourite step in my evening skincare routine because I love that feeling of a fresh clean face and I love using my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser for this, I've been using this for a good 3 months now and its honestly changed my cleansing life. I used to always use micellar waters before but since using Liz Earle's bottle of joy my skin has changed so much and for the better, my dry patches I've always suffered from have vanished, I've noticed a huge difference in the size of my pores, they have really shrunk and I definitely don't have as many blackheads around my nose as I did before and my skin always feel so soft, fresh and clean after using this cleanser too. 

Secondly I like to use my Ole Henriksen Truth Facial Water as a toner, this feels so nice on the skin after cleansing because its so cooling and refreshing on the skin but also has moisturising qualities that my skin is always lusting after, after a long day. It's great at adding a really natural glow to the skin too which I love.

The next step in my evening skincare routine is moisturising my skin and for this I use Vichy's Skin Sleep. This stuff is incredible, it's a gel like balm with a lovely light texture that sinks into the skin quickly and smells incredibley good. In the mornings I'm left with super soft, hydrated, fresh looking skin which is just what I need and look for in a night cream.

The last step in my skincare routine is my Clinque Pep-Start Eye Cream, this is probably best used in the mornings to be honest because of it brightening and de-puffing qualities but I find its super rich and moisturising and my eyes love it in the evenings.

And there you have it beaut's, my realistic evening skincare routine! Even though I use four products it honestly takes me no time at all to rub these lotions and potions in, all I need is five minutes and I'm done, so I really don't find this a chore at all. 

What are your holy grail evening skincare products beaut's? I'd love to know!

World Duty Free Top Picks

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of year again when everyone is jetting off on their summer holiday's, and what better way to kick start your holiday than with a few cheeky purchases from World Duty Free! Being the makeup and beauty lover I am I literally cant wait to check out duty free when I go away so today I thought I'd share with you all 3 of my top picks ranging from high end to drugstore!

First up is the L'Oreal Travel Exclusive Festival Fun Set* which is £23.20. Within this set you get the Mega Volume Miss Hippie Mascara, the Infallible Eyeliner in Black and the Infallible Mega Gloss in the shade All Night Long which is a pretty glitzy pink colour, the set then comes complete with a pink pouch perfect for storing makeup essentials in your handbag/travel bag. I've been giving all three products within this set a whirl and I have to say I've been obsessed, my favourite has to be the Miss Hippie Mascara, this creates the most amazing volume and thickness to my lashes whilst also looking feathery and fluttery, it lasts amazingly well too without any flaking, smudging or running. The Infallible Eyeliner is great on the waterline but can also create the most amazing smoky eye with it's smudger tool at the end of the pencil and the lip gloss is perfect for finishing off any look without being thick or sticky.

Fragrances are always a popular choice whilst shopping in duty free and I can never resist those miniature sets which brings me onto The Jimmy Choo Miniatures Collection* which is £34.00. This set features five gorgeous smelling perfumes which are all individually boxed and packaged in replicas of their full sized bottles, their soooo cute and the perfect size for travelling because they are super lightweight and wont take up much room at all within your luggage. Within the set theres two 4.5ml bottles of Jimmy Choo Illicit, two 4.5ml bottles of Jimmy Choo Eau De Parfum and one 4.5ml bottle of Jimmy Choo Eau De Toilette.  

Lastly I have the Clinque Pep-Start Eye Cream* which is £18.30. This is one amazing eye cream that I'm thoroughly enjoying using, it hydrates, smooths and brightens up the eye area and works so well in the mornings as it instantly perks my eye area up because of its cooling sensation and gets rid of any puffiness too. I'd highly recommend picking this one up if your on the market for a new eye cream.
