Green dream

Not quite feeling spring here yet, so still in the jumpers. Today's been crazy weather wise, hail, thunder, sunshine, wind and rain! 

I spent my morning at work then popped out for a yummy lunch with mum at a local town pub. I ate it too fast to snap a picture...whoops. Here's what I chose to keep me warm! Xoxo

Tonight's bedtime routine

My three basic products before sleep...

I'm taking off my makeup with Garnier micellar cleansing water. I was a bit sceptical at first thinking how can a product that is cleansing water going to remove all my makeup? It comes in a large 400ml which states can be up to 200 uses, great! Amazingly it does manage to take off my makeup including my mascara, after several cotton wool pads later! (I must admit my normal routine is a flannel with a cleansing face wash so I cut out the buying and throwing all the cotton pads) 

Next I use my normal Nivea toner, it seems to grab all the remaining bits of makeup that my cleanser leaves behind, maybe I'm just not thorough enough the first time round but I just hate all the cotton pads I get through!! 

An added step I took was using my trusty Soap & Glory face mask, which refines your pores. It's a messy face mask which stays creamy but you can feel the magic working once applied and the blue beads have disappeared. I first brought this years ago and have been a fan ever since and would keep going back for more. Let's hope I wake up with perfect skin, we can only wish for ;p Xoxo

Puppy love

A night in with the girls and the puppies! What more could a girl ask for? 

Saturday nights shouldn't all be about going out drinking, I love girlie nights with takeout and tv (with the added bonus of all the updated gossip!) 

These two went nuts all night! Xoxo

Home spa night with Quick Fix Facials and Sanctuary Spa

I'm getting ready for a girlie night here's a few products that are currently my top picks. 

The quick fix facials come in a range of face masks, I picked mine up at Tk Maxx but they also sell them in many drug stores including Boots and supermarkets including Tesco. This one is a brightening peel and smells amazing. Its a clear mask, once applied and left for the required time you just peel it off, which is the fun part! I'm excited to try more from this range, hopefully I will love them all just as much. 

Then there is the body oil from Sanctuary Spa which I recently purchased, its a 4 day long moisture body oil spray. It works pretty well, I'm yet to really feel it benefits for the 4 days but as it's currently only now getting into spring I think I'll wait until I'm out of jumpers and trousers so I can see if it actually works. 

And I cannot forget a bar of Diary Milk and a magazine for the gossip and fashion ideas ;p xoxo

Throwback

Here's me and my twin with our nanny many years ago! Seems the perfect photo for my throwback Thursday as I went to see her today for a catch up. Family love xoxo 

A snapshot of a few of my makeup bits

Try a sample of urban decay naked palette and you'll never look back, perfect for day and night. I cannot wait to get more! 

Set off any look with a pop of colour from Yves Saint Laurent with added sparkle, what more could a girl ask for?!

And here's my favourite mascara, Max Factor- False Lash Effect, I'm trying to find one I love more, the challenge is proving difficult xoxo

Perfume and fragrance

Have you ever ventured somewhere you thought only teenagers go? The fragrance section in the clothes store, be it Zara, Riverisland, Next etc? 

Well believe me they are actually purse and nose friendly. Here are a few I've picked up in recent months... And I still get as many compliments as I do when wearing more expensive brands! 

Many are similar to the much pricier brands, I suppose the disappointing thing is owning up to it being the much cheaper clothes store one!

Check out my favourite ones below... Xoxo
