So a bit of a different post from me today, as the weather has been absolutely awful & I've not been able to shoot outside... I thought I would do a post including a lot of my favourite skincare products that are basically my ride & dies! There is going to be a mixture of high street and high end, so a lot of it is affordable for everyone! Hope you enjoy...

First up, my everyday skincare routine... I don't know what I would do without The Body Shop, they have such a great range of products for all different skin types & ages! Obviously you pay for what you get, skin is very important, so I like to take extra care of it, always. I would say The Body Shop pricing is very reasonable! & they have such a good Loyalty Card scheme, I swear every time I stock up, I receive a £5 voucher off my next shop which is always a bonus...
I have been using the Vitamin E range for over a year now, I tried so many different products & I just couldn't find the right skincare for me, it would either dry me the hell out or be too oily so I would breakout. I find the Vitamin E range perfect for my skin, I'm combination skin, meaning I can differ from one to the other (dry/oily)! This range has really helped me out, it gives the right balance, my skin has never been so great!
Every evening I take off my make up with the Simple range make up remover wipes, but obviously that doesn't take all of it off, so after that I go in with The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Wash to get rid of any other make up thats left, it makes my skin feel so soft & clean!
Once I've washed & dried my face, I always make sure I Cleanse & Tone... So this basically ensures that all dirt & dead skin is removed. I never use to Cleanse & Tone, seriously I can't even imagine not doing it now, it has completely changed my skin!
So you Cleanse first, which is a cream formula. I pump it onto a cotton pad, rub it all over my face & neck till it has all soaked into the skin & all of the last bits of make up & dirt are removed. When that has dried, I go in with the Toner which is more of a liquid solution & another cotton pad, this will remove any last traces of the Cleanser & help leave the skin hydrated. LIFE SAVERS!!
When the Toner has settled into the skin, I use 3-4 drops of the Drops of Light Brightening facial Serum... I absolutely love using Serums & testing out new ones from them! I honestly think they do the best range! So this one that I use is to help brighten your skin, reduce the number of dark spots, & over time give you healthier luminous looking skin! I've only been using this for a few weeks, but it feels so good when you apply it! I use this day & night, so in the morning I apply it before my day cream...
I then wait for the Serum to completely soak in, I normally brush my teeth whilst i'm waiting haha! So it's now onto the last part of the routine, I know it seems lengthy but I can't not do this now... It's so important to give your skin what it needs.
Lastly, it is the night cream. Your skin recovers most whilst you're sleeping so I always make sure my skin is fully hydrated before I go to bed...
This stuff is to die for, it feels like it is just filling your skin full of moisture! Love love love!
Once the night cream has soaked in, I always use an eye cream, but I haven't actually found one that i'm 100% in love with yet so I didn't see the point in posting about a product I don't like that much! But if you guys have any recommendations, please leave a comment :)
I also have the day cream, which I use every morning! I can't live without this, this is my all time favourite moisturiser, it doesn't make your skin oily, it soaks up straight away! & you feel hydrated all day!
So that's my daily Skincare routine, I'll link you to their website & below i'll list the prices with the links to each of the products... Get on it guys!!

Cleanser £7.50 Buy Here
Toner £7.50 Buy Here
Serum £26.00 Buy Here

Next up, is about Masks that I use twice/three times a week! I love a good face mask that really really works! First up, we've got the Origins Peel off Mask, oh my god! This stuff is insane, it gets stuck right into your pores & pulls those bad boys right out! It helps take away dirt & leaves skin feeling refreshed, revived & glowy! Warning: it does bring a tear to your eye haha!
This one is a bit pricey, but like I say, you pay for what you get! It retails at £24, but it has lasted me ages & feels incredible! This mask is good for when your skin feels quite dirty & you want a quick fix, you just put it on your face, leave for about 10-15 minutes then peel it off! Such a good buy! I'll be buying more when its ran out...
So this next mask is definitely more of a high end buy... But I'm a sucker for anything that has good reviews & says you'll wake up glowing like the moon. It is the Charlotte Tilbury Multi-Miracle Glow!
Well, I say it's a mask but it's actually a triple threat, you can use it as a Cleanser, Mask or a Balm... I know right? Charlotte Tilbury is just amaaaaaazing! I've used it for all 3, but my favourite is to use it as a mask & leave it on my skin overnight. You wake up with the most softest, baby like skin! It has such a weird consistency, it's hard to explain, it feels a bit tacky when you first apply it, & you're thinking really? But it's a dream! Again, big price but so worth it! Oh, & the packaging... Need I say more??
For this next product I don't think you can really call it Skincare, but it is my life! So I need to let you guys in on this... For my Birthday last year my Mum got me an Eyelash Serum, it was one thing that I really wanted & heard amazing things about... Little did I know, it would be my holy grail, literally! I cannot rave about this product enough! It is the RapidLash Eyelash enhancing Serum, if you want longer, thicker, healthier looking lashes then you need to jump on board! I think it was after the first 2 weeks I started noticing a difference, then after a month I was so impressed & everyone else could notice the difference too! I cannot live without this now! I got it in May, it ran out September/October & I seriously noticed a difference when I stopped using it! So I'm stocking up.
This is my must have in my Beauty Regime, you apply every evening before you go to bed to the base of the lashes! Seriously, love this stuff!
A lengthy one I know, but i've enjoyed sharing my favourite products with you & I hope you've enjoyed reading it too!
