Bracelets - Accessorize
Beads - Given as a gift so unknown!

I also wore a teal fitted blazer from H&M but didn't manage to get a pic!

Now onto the make-up...


The Barry M dazzle dust in Mushroom. What do you think?


On my lips I mixed Bourjois Eau de Gloss (rose vitamine) with Avon Colortrend (be mine)

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
Avon Kajalstick in Purple
Benefit eyebright (yes I picked one up in glamour mag too hehe!)

My Skincare Routine

Hi guys!
I've had such a busy week but I am now officially on Easter holiday and couldn't be happier!

This post is about my skincare routine (hence the title! lol). Unfortunately I do not have perfect, flawless skin.....far from it, my skin is actually quite oily so I'm prone to breakouts at certain times of the month, if I'm stressed or if I eat too much junk food. So this is how I try and keep my skin under control!



These are the two products I use daily. I think that it's important for people with oily skin not to use too many products because it can really upset the balance of oils in your skin.
I use the Neutrogena Wave with deep cleansing pads each night. It costs about £12 and then roughly £4 for packs of refills, and it's definitely worth the money! I see a big difference in my skin if I stop using it for a period of time.
I also use this MySkin Mattifying Moisture Lotion. It's another fantastic product, and the best thing has to be the price, being under £2 from Tesco! It's actually advertised as being especially for Teenage Skin but I think it would be fine for anyone with oily skin as it doesn't make you shiny! The smell of this product is amazing, it's kiwi and raspberry which sounds a bit odd but it's lovely! :)





Above are products I use less regularly.
I use Nivea Creme when I occasionally get really dry skin. This winter in particular I have used a lot of this, because the weather in the UK has been horrible and very cold. For me, I couldn't use this as a normal facial cream because it's too thick, but it works wonders on patches of dry skin!
The Planet Spa facial mud mask is from Avon and I use it about once a month. It's a horrible, scary grey colour but it's a great product which leaves my skin feeling really soft and smooth!
And finally another MySkin product, the exfoliator which I use once or twice a week. It has the same smell as the moisturising lotion and again I love it! I recommend you try the MySkin products as they are such good value and effective!

Enjoy! xo

PS Everyone's skin is different, and what works for me may not work for your skin type. I recommend all of the above products, however please consider they have a totally different effect on your skin!

FOTD

Hi guys!
This Face of The Day post is actually from Thursday night, but my internet hasn't been working so I've only just managed to post it! It's nothing fancy but I thought I'd show you and then if you like I can do more posts like this! hehe. I went out to a Charity Talent Show at my school and I literally had to get ready in 10 minutes so I do apologize that it isn't exactly "inspiring" but I promise in the future I will try harder!!





On my face I'm wearing:

17 Hide Away Concealer Cream
Avon Invisible Light Concealer (I use this under my eyes because it is thinner and lighter)
Avon Kajalstick in Purple (I used this to bring out the purple in my top!)
Benefit Badgal Lash
