Summer skin ready

Who wants summer ready skin? I want summer ready skin! 

 

1. First up is an eczema cream Dermalex, after being given so many steroid creams and thick solutions that didn't work, I finally came across this in Boots! It's quite pricey at around £28 a tube, but is steroid free and seriously the best thing I have ever used on my eczema, so soothing and repairing!

2. Secondary is Benefits Refined Finish from the B.Right. This formula is my favourite skin cc care product that I own, and I seriously cannot wait to purchase the rest of the B.Right skincare range! I've been using this since Christmas and it really does make a difference, creates soft and smooth skin. 

3. Neutrogena pink grapefruit cream wash is so refreshing! Use this every morning and it prevents break outs and scaring from acne, if you're new to skincare this is an easy start to looking after your skin. 

4. Lush King of Skin Butter Bar melts so quickly, smells amazing, and definitely a must have! It's very moisturising and soothing, I use this just after I've shower and even though it does take a long time to sink into the skin, it leaves you smelling amazing and fresh. 

5. Neutrogena grapefruit moisturiser is one of my favourites, again very refreshing, I use this after the facial wash, before I apply my make up. It's not sticky and it doesn't take forever to soak into the skin, but still leaves a fresh feel and moist skin ready to prep for make up. 

6. Last but not least is Soap and Glory Hand Food, again smells amazing, leaves hands feeling soft and prepped ready to paint your nails with your favourite summer nail polish! 

Until next time, lovelies x

OOTD 9.3.14

This morning I jumped straight out of the shower and used my favourite Benefit Cosmentic skincare products. 

I only tried these products recently, im they were given to me as a Christmas gift and I'd never thought to even pick them up before now. The moisturiser I have used before because I had a sample, but the other products were completely new to me. I must say, the moisturiser is the most AMAZING thing to have ever touched my skin! It leaves skin feeling so soft and blemish free, I could use this every single day, and after my sample has all gone i'm definitely buying a full size! 

I then get dressed to visit my mum in hospital, have my hair cut and go shopping with my dad. I wore a new crop top from Topshop with a white best top underneath and a light denim skirt. It was really warm today!! 

And now I'm finishing off today with movies and snacks! 

How was your Sunday, bloggers? x

Everyday make up for placement

In currently on placement in a primary school, and obviously make up can't be too heavy, including mascara. I usually don't wear a lot of make up anyway, but contouring and certain mascara make it look like a lot! So I'm doing this blog post just incase you were wondering how much make up was a suitable amount for placements/voluntary work/ or even a new job! 

My daily make up consists of a moisturiser, light (but brightening) foundation, low application mascara, pale natural coloured blush a highlighter for extra brightness (obviously a lot of this is benefit again, my favourite brand)!

Firstly I apply the moisturiser (as always), and u always use the neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit, usually around £5 in boots, but just after Christmas it was only £3.50 in superdrug so I made sure I stocked up in quite a few. Always as prepping the skin for make up it also clears the skin of blemishes and discolouration.  

Then the foundation, benefits hello flawless oxygen wow foundation. This definitely has to be the best foundation to use because it's brightening, and having hardly any sleep creates the biggest and unattractive dark circles under anyone's eyes. This definitely helps to bring colour back to your face and hide the circles, as well as being a light and fair application. 

The blusher, benefits dandelion, is a natural pink blush. With the weather being quite frosty and cold, this gives the perfect cheek glow, mixed with the benefits watts up high lighter rubbed on the top of the cheek bone. 

Bad gal mascara, because it's a light application with a large brush. This takes seconds to apply and still emphasises the eyes with colours. 

Lastly, Victoria's Secret coconut passion body mist for a sweet and long lasting scent to cover up the smell of play dough, paint and glue!
