Beach Essentials

Hello all, I am currently in sunny Portugal! This holiday is all about chilling, eating, tanning and more chilling - hehehe.

I went to the beach yesterday and thought it was the perfect opportunity to capture my actual essentials.

Products I've Used Up #8

I have had these empties forever so I'm finally glad this post is going up! As usual, I'm going to do a run down of all the products I have recently used up and let you know if I'd repurchase or not.

February Favourites

Woah, it's been a while since I've posted! I've just been either busy or ill so I haven't had time/energy to blog. I have however wanted to get my February favourites up (even though I am way late) as I've really been enjoying these products.

Products I've Used Up #6

I haven't done an empties post since September! I have just been adding so much to my collection that I haven't really been using anything up *slaps wrist*, but I have accumulated a few things so here we go.

Products I've Used Up #5

I am off to uni today but I thought I'd quickly share the products I've used up in the past month or so.

Summer Handbag Essentials

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates recently, I just haven't been in a blogging mood and I didn't want to post something for the sake of it. I also haven't put up a June Favourites and that's because I really don't have any new favourites this month. Anyway, the sun is shining today in London and I can finally scream out loud 'IT'S SUMMER!' so I thought today I would share my Summer handbag essentials.

Products I've Used Up #3

It actually hasn't been that long since my last products I've used up post, but loads of things just started to finish at around the same time, so here are my thoughts on all the products that I've used up in the past few weeks.

March Favourites

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in Rose Shimmer - Nivea Raspberry Rose Lip Butter - EOS Summer Fruit - MicaBella Tease Shimmer Powder - YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Peach Passion - Rimmel Apocalips in Stellar

Woah, I did not intend for my favourites to mainly consist of lip products but I do love my lip products, aha.

Short Trip, Long Journey Essentials

I'm finally going to see my Booba (Emma ;) ) up in Scotland! I'll be going on the coach with my friend Chloe, yes, the coach, from London, our poor butts are going to be subjected to almost 11 hours of numbness. But it's worth it! For this quick post I'm just going to be showing you what I'll be taking with me for my weekend trip. We're leaving London at 1am and arriving in Scotland at around 12pm on Friday then on our way back we'll be leaving Scotland at around 11pm and arriving in London before 7am on Monday, fun times.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Cream Wash - Simple Cleansing Wipes - Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub - Nuxe Reve De Miel - Origins Drink-Up Intensive Mask - L'Occitane Shea Butter - Nivea Creme - Alien Thierry Mugler - Garnier Eye Roll On - Korres Wild Rose Lip Butter - Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranate Body Butter

MUA Undressed Palette - Sephora Eyelash Curler - Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB Cream - ELF Coral Mineral Blush - Collection Concealer - Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - Revlon Just Bitten Stains Crush and Honey - Maybelline Gel Eye Liner - ELF Eyelid Primer - Benefit Highbrow - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - Rimmel Scandal Eyes Black Eye Pencil - MAC Sunny Seoul

For the long coach rides I need some reading material and music so I'm bringing along a couple copies of Empire, The Tempest (I have to read it for audition preparation, sigh), my iPad, iPod as I don't want to kill my phone's battery and iPhone. 

I apologise for the evidently rushed post and photos, I have a long, busy day today, but I wanted to blog before I left.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'll have some sort of photo diary up next week after I come back to London, be prepared to be jealous of photos of beautiful waterfalls and lochs ;)

Night Time Routine

I firstly wipe away most of my make up with a Simple Cleansing Wipe, I then brush my teeth and then I go ahead and cleanse my face with the Neutrogena Wave which I recently just got and I really love it, it instantly made my skin feel cleaner and softer after just one use. I then use the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub and after drying my face I either use a thick cream such as this Nivea one which I am currently using or if my skin is feeling a bit dehydrated I put on Origins Drink-Up Intensive Mask which I got for Christmas, this small tube will last me quite a while though as I only use it once or twice a week and you only need a small amount.

I then apply a small amount of Mica Beauty's Age Defying Eye Gel; I use this as I was told it would help reduce dark bags and circles and after using it for quite a while, I can say it does help but using it everyday does dry out my eye area so I only use it when I feel it necessary. I then apply a bit of L'Occitane's Shea Butter on my cuticles, Nuxe's Reve De Miel Lip Balm on my lips, a bit of Soap and Glory's Heel Genius on le feet, go wash my hands and then apply a generous amount of Garnier's Nourishing Hand Cream.

I then finally light a candle and grab a book if I'm not tired out from doing all of that. Phew. Then it's beddy bye.

Hope everyone is doing well! Just a few more days and I'm off to Scotland, yay!
