My Skincare Routine • Morning & Night


Hey guys, 

So today Im going to be sharing with you my skincare routine and what products I use on a morning and night to keep my skin clean and hydrated. These are the products I have been using all throughout the summer and I do expect that I will be changing some of these products up for the autumn and winter seasons, which I will keep you all up to date with when they change. And just a little disclaimer before I go onto my skincare routine, these are the products which work well for my skin and these are products that I am happy with, I'm not saying that these will work for every skin type or in no way am I telling you this is what you should do. All products I mention will be linked at the end of this post. 


Above are the 2 products that I use to clean and cleanse my face. In a morning I use the Simple Kind To Skin refreshing Facial wash gel, which I think is one of the most gentle yet refreshing face washes you could use, it is refreshing and really wakes you up in the morning which I think is due to the product being a gel formula. And for my nighttime face wash I enjoy using the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish hot cloth cleanser (which I have recently done a review on) as I feel that its great for taking all of my makeup off and cleaning my skin fully before going to bed. 


The next set of products I have been using on my skin this summer are shown in the image above. For both my morning and night routine I have been using the Soap&Glory SPF 25 moisturiser and I have really been loving this product throughout the summer as not only is it very moisturising but its also very handy due to the SPF so you don't have to apply that separately; due to me having very sensitive and blemish prone skin I did find it very difficult to find an SPF moisturiser that wouldn't break me out and after several trials and errors, this one seems to be working well for my skin. The next product I am going to mention is yet another Soap&Glory product and that is their eye brightening serum which I been using in the morning to help decrease dark circles and puffiness under the eyes and create a more wide-awake look. The last product that I use and will be talking about today is the very hyped up Alpha-h Liquid Gold exfoliator, which as recommended I use on my skin every other night and this really does help to leave my skin with a very healthy glow to it and also helps to get rid of any dry skin that could be on the face, when using this product I do not use any moisturiser over the top, I just let it sink in and do its magic over night. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what products I use on a daily basis and I would love to hear from you all! What have your favourite products been this summer? Do you use or have you tried any of the products mentioned? Whats your everyday skin routine? Also do expect a few upcoming reviews on some of the products I have mentioned today very soon! I hope you are all having a wonderful day so far, I will see you all very soon.

Review • Rimmel London 60 Seconds Nail Polish



Hey guys! 

Today I am going to be doing a review of the Rimmel London 60 second nail polish which I bought a few weeks ago now and I've been testing out since. The two colours that I picked out the range, which has a total of 40 lovely shades, were number '503' and '405' which you can see above. 

This nail varnish claims to:
- Dries within 60 seconds
- It's trademark 'Xpress' brush ensures a one coat application
- It is a one coat nail varnish

So I would say that the claim that it dries in 60 seconds is very much true as by the time you have finished painting all of your nails the first hand that you have painted is dry, which to me is pretty quick and I have no complains with that. With almost every nail varnish I use I tend to always apply two coats as I like to have a very opaque finish, but I think that you could easily wear this nail varnish after just applying one coat as it it quite a think consistency anyway, so I would say that it is a one coat nail varnish. I also really love the thick brush that comes with this nail varnish  'Xpress brush', as this also makes application very quick and easy, it also lasts quite long and doesn't chip, which we all love to hear! Another great thing about this nail varnish is that it comes in 40 shades,  it retails at £3.69 and can be bought pretty much anywhere that sells drugstore make up, Boots, super drug and also supermarkets stock this product.

I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a really quick and easy to apply drugstore nail varnish that comes in a wide range of highly pigmented range of colours, that is also very reasonably priced for the quality that you are buying, all round such a lovely product!

What are your views on this product? Have you tried it? What is your favourite nail varnish?
I will see you all very soon, I hope you are all having a lovely day!
