Flawless Friends - Skincare/Make up Routine!

Thursday, September 20, 2012






I've been meaning to do a post like this for a while. My routine. Witch Skincare asked all their Flawless Friends to post on how you keep your skin looking flawless. Well my skin is far from it so I rely quite a bit on make up. But I use as much skincare as I can to help things along the way.

My routine changes all the time but this is what's working for me at the minute. I haven't included cleansers but these vary between No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser, Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and L'Occitane Angelica Cleanser.

Evening - I use the following products: Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum, Clinqiue Overnight Turnaround Moisturiser, Avon Planet Spa Eye Cream, All For Eve Balm and Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask (put only on blemishes)

Morning - I prep my skin with: REN Hyrdacalm Global Protection Day Cream, All for Eve Balm.

Then apply: Maybelline Superstay 24h Foundation, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, Collection Pressed Powder, HD Brow Pallette in Bombshell, Collection Extreme Eyeliner Felt Tip, Avon Plump Out Mascara, MUA Every Lash Mascara, Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Mascara (yes I use three different mascaras!), MUA Blusher, NYC Lipstick and Lipcote.

And that is how I "fake"  my flawless look. I'll never be blemish free as that's my skin type and I've learnt to live with it. When my skin really breaks out I apply the good old Witch Blemish Stick (the oldies are the goodies) and that soon sorts me out! But other than that, there's no use stressing over bad skin just accept it, eat healthy, drink gallons of water and it will all clear up one day!

Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask Review!

Saturday, August 11, 2012




RRP £9.00

This was something I had on my wishlist for a while and I finally decided to purchase it when I discovered that the Body Shop had a 40% voucher on their website. I wanted it after watching Essie Button's empties post. She said that she uses it as a blemish treatment rather than a mask and I wanted to see if it would work on my troublesome spots.

I'm happy to say this works a treat on those red bumpy spots. I pop this on over night and by the morning it's worked it's magic. It reduces the size and the redness. It doesn't get rid of it completely but it works really well for me!

I'm glad I purchased this and the big tub will last me a while.

Have you tried this? What did you think?

P.S Dolly Peg is open! Take a look here!

Wish/Shopping List!

Monday, July 30, 2012


I asked if you guys wanted to see me shopping list/wishlist and few of you said you did! So here it is!

1. 2 Pack of Leggings - New Look £12.99 I am in desperate need of some new leggings and these are thick and good quality ones and I get my discount to which is a massive bonus! I brought a beautiful polka dot (yes another one!) from George at Asda and need some leggings to wear with that!

2. Check Shirt - New Look £14.99 I saw this when it came in and loved it! I don't know if I'll be buying it yet or not but I do love it. A/W is so much nicer than S/S and I can't wait for winter, cosy nights in and jumpers and anything Burgundy coloured!

3. Born Lippy Lip Balm - Body Shop £2.00 I saw this on the website and I've got a 40% off voucher and I'm going to be picking up a few other bits so this is on my to buy list. I want to try a lip balm with a pop of colour and this seems a reasonable price too!

4. Tea Tree Face Mask - Body Shop £9.00 This is main thing on my list. I saw an Essie Button video where she talked about this and she uses it on her blemishes over night and it gets rid of the spot. I have to try this, I hate blemishes and I have a few at the minute I want to see the back off! Again I have a 40% voucher so I'll be putting that to this too!

5. Spike Bracelet - Dolly Peg? This is a sneaky one. I really love this bracelet and we are thinking about stocking it on dolly peg, let me know what you think of it! I love it!

6. Burgundy Supersoft Skinny Jeans - New Look £19.99 I love this colour and I've put these and another jumper on hold at work. So expect to see those sometime soon!

So that's my shopping/wish list! I'll be reviewing the beauty products and expect some outfit posts too!
