Empties/Products I have used up #2

Another empties post for you guys!

Clynol Shampoo - I got this in a Glossybox and really loved the shampoo. It's a shame it's only a sample size as it only lasted for two washes! The problem of having long hair! I might considering repurchasing but it is rather expensive for a shampoo!

Botanicals Rose and Camelia Skin Tonic - I was sent this from the lovely people at Botanicals and I fell in love with it. It was so good on my skin! It's such a shame it ran out. I do have this on my repurchase list! So roll on payday!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo - I got this on offer for a £1 in Asda and wanted to try it out. I really loved the shampoo and think its great on long hair. I probably will repurchase this again at some point!

Gliss Conditioner - I brought this from poundland and I was really impressed the conditioner is really rich and perfect for my dry ends. I need to pick up some more of this!

Noble Isle Shower Gel - I adore this shower gel! I got this sample in Glossybox and it's amazing. Sadly it costs £20 a bottle! So I won't be repurchasing this myself, however if someone wants to buy it for me! I'd be more than happy!!

Soft and Gentle Deodorant - I've had this kicking around for a while and mainly used when I stayed round mr swan's. I won't be repurchasing this one, not because I don't like it I just tend to settle for what's on offer at the time.

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation - I brought this after a few recommendations. And I did enjoy using it. However I found it to be a bit dewy for my oily/combo skin. So I didn't repurchase this. I brought one very similar but for oily skin. I'll be doing a full review on that soon!

Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skin Balancing lotion - Another sample in Glossybox! I did really enjoy this! I love Elizabeth Arden skincare I don't think you can beat it. I loved using this before I applied my foundation it worked in really well on my skin!

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - I got this in my L'Occitane goody bag and I love the scent. I really want the Eau De Parfum in it! I won't be repurchasing as I have so many shower gels at the minute I should use those ones up first!

Botanicals Clay Mask - The best face mask! It leaves my skin feeling plumped and hydrated! And perfect for my sometimes sensitive skin! I swear by this and this is also on my wishlist come payday!

Everyday Make Up #1

I have found a new love for experimenting with make up but these products have found themselves in my everyday make up routine. I have to admit the majority of this make up costs around a £1 or was free. But I did splash out (ish) on the foundation.

After cleansing and toning. I slap on the moisturiser. I am currently using Avon Fresh Hydration SPF15 Day Cream. I never really loved moisturiser before make up up until a few months ago (shocking I know) but I now can't go with out it. I know that my skin is protected from the sun and my make up stays in place so much longer.

A recent addition to my make up routine is the POREfessional and that gal primer. I alternate these depending on how I feel to be honest. Click here to see my full reviews!

I then move on to my Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation. I brought this after seeing many Youtube videos and seeing that a lot of vloggers recommended this foundation. I use shade No. 52 Vanilla. It claims to stay in place for 16 hours and it does! I never have to touch up my foundation which is a bonus when I am at work!

My next step is Collection's lasting perfect concealer. I really love this and I recommend this so much! I love the coverage. I use shade light 2.

Moving onto my eyes. I then coat my lashes in Avon colour perfect mascara. I have used this mascara for ages and I'm finding that the formula is not as good as it used to be. So I am on a look out for a new mascara! (Any recommendations would be amazing!)

I then brush my eye lids with No 7 stay perfect eyeshadow in shade 10 wheat sheaf. I find that it gives a nice even coverage and wakes my eyes up a bit.

I then line my eyes very lightly with MUA shade 19. It's a great eyeshadow and adds a bit of colour. I find this look to be a lot more natural than a heavy kohl eyeliner.

My brows then are tidied up with a brow comb and I fill in any gaps with MUA eyeshadow shade 20. I was using MUA brow pencil but I found it to be too thick and my eyebrows looked caked on!

To finish of my face I use a bronzer or blush depending on how I feel. I am currently using MUA bronzer in shade 2. I find that this isn't dark enough for my skin so I have to use a fair bit to get any definition.

To top it all off I use my favourite lipstick which again is an MUA product ( I LOVE MUA!) I use shade 12. I love this bright pink!

And that is my everyday routine! I told you that most of the products are cheap but then again I do like my bargains! I will be doing this post again when I change this up a bit!

I thought I would make the most of the weather! I've been lazing around today feeling a bit rough, not sure if it's hay fever or a cold brewing. Anyway. . .

I kinda threw this outfit on, it's Sunday and I'm feeling lazy! I tried out a new moisturiser and foundation which I love!

Bourjois Bio Detox Organic Foundation.

Now I didn't even know that Bourjois did foundation so after flicking through some old vogue magazines I discovered a free sample that I hadn't used so I thought it might be the perfect time to try it out. The foundation is enriched with chlorophyll to bring oxygen and filter out pollution. It all sounded to be good to be true, but I had a go.

And thank god I did! It's an amazing foundation. The coverage is great (there was no need for me to use concealer) but light on my skin. It offers amazing coverage without looking like a trollop! I am in love with this foundation and I am seriously considering changing to it permanently! The foundation is liquid but it's thick enough to not run of your face. It's a great all rounder and my skin seemed to love it.

It's currently £7.00 on ASOS. It's a bargain and I love it!
