Loving this week #3



I'm getting quite into the swing of these posts now! 

This week I have chucked in a now beauty or fashion item as you can probably see and think i'll do this from now on!

So to get started...




Tartan scalloped top // Asda 

I had seen this a few times in Asda and always said I was going to buy it then change my mind but I eventually picked it up and took the plunge , I kind of went off this print as I just seen it everywhere but the shape and style of the shirt I loved, it was really flattering and fitted perfectly so I couldn't turn it down.
I also fell back in love with the pattern after seeing this on me. They have matching shorts to go with this but they didn't compliment me as well so I thought I would just get this.
At only £10 this was a bargain!

Pale pink shoulder bag // Primark 

I picked this up quite a while back but only have got started to use it and I love it! I got it based on the colour. I usually carry around a masssssive shoulder bag and it was just getting to sore and exhausting so I thought I would use this.
The space it a big limited but you have a front compartment to put little things in then in the main compartment it has a little pocket for your phone and a zip compartment. Ideal for just little trips about!

Rich moisturiser // Simple

Now I'm sure you have all heard about simple and what there about, about a week ago I was suffering from really really dry skin around my chin and upper lip , this happens from time to time if something aggravates it, So I cut my usual skin routine out and just implemented all Simple products and I know they work for me. I picked up the rich moisturiser cause I wanted this problem fixed quickly and can honestly say after suffering from it for 4 days just 1 day use of this and my skin was back to normal. Thank the lord for Simple!

2 in 1 cleanser & Toner // Nivea

I've never been a fan of something that claims to be 2 in 1 but when I was picking up a new moisturiser it was 3 for £5 and thought I might as well have a little nosey and I found this , I needed a new cleanser anyway and thought I would branch out and try a few more brands than I usually use, Nivea has been a brand I haven't used since I was really young so I picked this up. Ive used this about 10 times now and LOVE IT, the smell is so refreshing and  leaves the skin so soft to touch. Definitely impressed with this little find.

Medium house blend // Starbucks

I'm going to sound like such a snob here but the taste of instant coffee to me make me feel ill but I'm a massive coffee fan and have been since about the age of 12 , I can only drink ground, filtered and often dabble with what the supermarkets have to offer. I think it was quite a few years back that Starbucks starting selling their coffee in Asda & Tesco but before I would usually just buy it out of Starbucks itself, but I found this in Asda and it's just delicious. Although I think i'm going to invest in a coffee machine cause the cafeteria  it a whollllle lot of effort at 6 in the morning!

Evening cleansing routine


Today I thought I would show you all my evening cleansing routine. 




I start off by removing my make up with the Camomile silky cleansing oil//Body Shop and a flannel cloth , I don't use it to take off my eye make up and it leaves them all blurry and not very nice.


I then go in with my  Kind to eyes eye make up remover//Simple to take off my mascara , I bought this as it was 3 for 2 on mini products and I was buying things anyway, but I love it now and will definitely be purchasing the full size bottle when this runs out.


I then use my Let the good times roll cleanser//Lush which I have been obsessed with, smells like cake and it exfoliates , what more it there to love , I tend to not use this all the time as it is quite harsh to the skin.
If i'm feeling like I want to extra pamper myself I use my Cupcake fresh face mask//Lush, smells like chocolate and looks like chocolate.
I tend to buy a lot of sweet face products or body products but I'm more of a savoury person! 


I then finish with my La Roche - Posey//Cicaplast Baume B5 , this is a restoring lotion and works amazing on my skin at night.
 I then use a light application of my Waitrose//Pure facial oil and I really mean light application I feel even with one drop of this product is too much so If you choose this as a facial oil be gentle!

Thanks for reading :) If you would like to see some other kind of routine let me know in the comments below!

Skincare routine



Today I thought I would make a post about my skincare routine and upkeep! There is nothing too special to my skincare I like to keep my products affordable but also getting the best quality I can find. I feel like this wouldn't be my very final skincare that will work forever, but for now it seems to be keeping my skin healthy and improving it each day I have combination skin so it is difficult to find products that will agree with my skin but enough of my rambling,hope this helps :) x






First off I like to use the tea tree range from The Body Shop for washing my face etc I find this is the most effective as it leaves such a cooling feeling and for someone that suffers from acne it is such a relief after wearing make up.I only use the scrub every 3-4 days as my skin is so sensitive it was irritate it too much,when I do use this I mix it with the facial wash which I use everyday and I this gives it a bit of a softer feel,I then use the tea tree oil which is handy for multiple thing but I just put it onto a cotton pad and apply it directly to acne on my skin this product I've only started using so I'm not sure yet if this effective.





I use the simple range as it so gentle on the skin you don't feel like you are slapping your face with harsh products,with the toner is just feels like water but really fresh smelling,I always use this before I go to bed and sometimes use during the day if I'm having a non make up day and it's so refreshing.I also use the cleanser,this is perfect at taking my make up off and soothing the skin,I don't use this too often as I'm lazy and just like to skim my face with a baby wipe but when I do find the effort to use it I feel very moisturised and fresh!and the third product I use is their moisturiser,not much to say about this,it does what is says on the tin and does it well :)










And my last and favourite product is grease lightning spot treatment by lush, lush is an all time favourite of mines I can't enter that shop without leaving with a ton of new products to try out, this I actually bought a very long time ago which impresses me all the more due to the fact I have still a ton of product left. It's made for blemished,acne prone skin and they use gentle ingredients such as carrageen seaweed, aloe vera and sea water all mixed into a gel formula which is so easily to apply and dries in no time,now this product does leave the skin dried out but what I like to do is apply my moisturiser on top and refrain from using it every night but other than that it leaves a massive improvement for such a reasonable price.



Thank you so much for reading and hope this wasn't too rambley :)
