CURRENT SKINCARE BITS


I've been bad!

 I'm not one of those who keep up a regular in depth skin care routine. I've tried and failed many times. But I'm getting on in age abit and its starting to show haha so here I am, new year, fresh start and trying again! I mean, I don't have an in depth routine, its very basic but its a start, right?








These are my golden oldies, what kicked off my skincare routine in December 2014 and stuck by me ever since


Nivea Gentle Exfoliating Scrub
Nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner

Using these products together leaves my skin feeling really fresh, clean, soft and nice smelling.











During the colder months, I suffer with random dry patches on my face, last year was my forehead, this year has been my cheeks. So to tackle this I've been using the Vaseline Intensive Care, essential healing. I pop it on every night before bed to soak into the skin and its done the trick!
No more dry patches.

The Dove Derma Spa goodness3 is a new purchase. I noticed I suddenly had dry legs so thought it was time to try something new. After the first use my legs are so much better, smoother, less dry. In the description it claims to luminate skin so I'm looking forward to giving this a try on face in spring.






Another new purchase. As I don't do the exfoliate, cleanse routine as often as I should I thought a daily scrub would be a brill idea to keep pores clean.

Clean and Clear Morning Energy

What caught my attention was the lovely lemony scent and the shimmering consistency

Using it every morning as part of the shower routine has really helped clear up some problem patches I was having, leaving my skin clean and ready for the day.



Out of my No7 beauty advent calendar I'd say these are my most used

Protect and Perfect Lip Care
Protect and perfect Eye Cream

The Lip Care is incredible, I use this as part of my nighttime routine and pop it on before bed - I've not had a problem with dry lips, or lips drying out through the day since.
My eyes seem to be my biggest flaw on my face at the moment (i think anyway) so I'm trying anything I can to improve them. Since using the Eye Cream I've noticed a bit of difference in the lines (wrinkles😢) around my face certainly not as visible.








All products in this post can be purchased from Boots if you've seen anything you like.

The next thing I'd really like to purchase is the 'Don't look at me' face mask by Lush.
I'm always looking for new skincare products especially now I'm getting into it abit more - do you have any faves/recommendations?

You're all beautiful!! 💕

What's on my Phone Tag

I love little tags like this as it gives you the opportunity to have a nosey into a person's life - and we're all abit nosey right? Here's a quick one for you to take a gander at...

Thanks to Nikki at Nikkipedia for the tag! make sure you all go and check her out!


What phone do you have?
Its a Samsung S7 

How many gigabytes does it have?
You know, without checking or finding out somehow - I don't actually remember haha - lets go with 4GB as that rings a bell.

What colour is it?
Gold 

Whats is your wallpaper?
A picture of my son enjoying himself on a swing

What are your most used Apps on your phone?
Twitter and Facebook

What Apps are in folders?
The pre-installed Samsung Apps, Google Apps and Microsoft Apps

What Apps do you not use?
Most of the pre-installed ones...

How many contacts do you have in your phone?
25 

Do you like your phone?
I do like my phone, I've had Samsung phones for as long as I can remember. I love the colour and well i'd be lost without my my phone, wouldn't you?

If you had the chance to have any phone, what would it be?
hmm, i don't know as I'm not a huge phone follower and don't know much about them. Maybe something that is opposite to a Samsung to see how easy it would be to use/get used to.

Have you upgraded your phone?
Not since September, so got abit of a wait now.

How many selfies are on your phone? (estimate)
ummm, 20/30ish? That'll probably come as surprise to most people, but what I do is take loadsss then delete them when I've chosen one I like.

Do you ever let anyone go through your phone?
Yes, if I trust that person isn't going to post silly things on my social media or laugh at what they find. Phones are personal things these days haha!
