Hello again lovelies!

 

I seem to be doing two posts in one day quite a lot recently. I guess it's due to quickly blogging when I get a chance to break away from all this uni work! Anyway, about a week ago I did a blog post on my morning skin care routine, which you can find here, and I thought I would now show you what I do in the evenings aswell. A few of the items you will notice I also use in the mornings such as the Simple cleanser, toner and the Witch blemish stick, but all of the other products are just used for the evenings.

 

1. First up I use the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets (review coming very soon!). I got these in my goodie bag from the Company Fashion Forum event at the end of last year but I have only just started using them. I won't say too much because I think I'll review these tomorrow night, but I do use these every night at the moment.

 

2. After this I take my make-up off, which is generally only my eyes and cheeks as I don't wear foundation. At the moment I am using the liquid Simple eye make-up remover as I had a little trouble with the cream version (you can see the review here).

 

3. Next up, if I'm feeling I need a really deep clean for my face, I will use Soap and Glory's Fab Pore Hote Cloth Cleanser. I have to say, I don't use this every night as I feel the cleanser and toner is enough for me, so I say I would use this maybe once or twice a week. It works really well and deep cleaning your skin and comes with the muslin cloth which I thought was really good, and it apparently takes off your make up too but I haven't tried that out yet.

 

4. After that  I head straight for the cleanser and toner to clean my face. As I said in my morning skin care routine post and a youtube video Simple work for me and really clean my face leaving me feeling fresh.

 

5. After that I will use the Witch Blemish Stick if I have any blemishes hanging around. This product works really well and cooling the area and toning down redness and size.

 

6. And lastly I use a night moisturizer. At the moment I am using the Organic Surge Overnight Sensation Night Cream which works really well. My face is moisturized through out the night and feels lovely and smooth by the morning.

 

So that's it! You can find the links to all these products underneath the picture and reviews will be coming very soon so keep a look out for that!

REVIEW | Simple Kind to Eyes Nourishing Eye Make-up Remover Cream

Simple - Kind to Eyes Nourishing Eye Make-up Remover Cream

 

Evening all!

 

As you may, or may not know, this will be my first beauty product review off of my own back. No company has asked me to review this I just thought I would give it a go as I felt like I wanted to share my experience with you all. As I am new to this it may not be up to review standards so bare with me please!

 

I have always just used plain old face wipes to take my make-up off and clean my face with until I started to read beauty blogs as well as fashion blogs and realised that face wipes were doing nothing for my skin and no wonder I was still getting spots! I decided to scrap the face wipes and sort out my skin by using actual products to clean my face with, and where better to start than with Simple.

 

I spoke to my Mum to get some advice on where to start because, as I said, this was all really new to me! She advised me to use the Simple cleanser and toner and to try out the eye make-up remover as well. So I did.

 

I saw that Simple did two types of eye make-up remover, a cream and a liquid. I decided to go for the cream (as shown above) because I figured it would feel a lot nicer on my eyes and also nourish them, as it says on the bottle. I did like this product as it wasn't as harsh on my eyes as I would imagine eye creams would be considering I have only used face wipes in the past. The cream was good at taking off my make-up, it didn't take too much to remove all of my eye make-up, however it wasn't so keen on removing my gel eye-liner and I would often have to leave parts of it on and try again in the morning as my eyes would start to hurt from rubbing so much!

 

However, the one thing that really put me off this particular eye make-up remover cream was the fact that it did not nourish my eyes, it infact really dried them out and my eyes became irritatied from being so dry after use. A couple of times I had to use eye-drops after using the cream so that my eyes weren't so dry before going to bed.

 

I had really high hopes for this product and felt I was let down. I would say that it does remove your make-up to an extent, however unfortunately, for me, it really dried out my eyes therefore I will not be buying this product again. I have stuck with Simple and have now bought the liquid version (which is the make-up remover my Mum was really suggesting in the first place, not the cream!) so I will keep you all updated on that!

 

I hope you have liked this review and found it some-what useful. Sorry for being a bit negative about my first review, but hey, you've got to be honest, right?

 

Have you used this product before? Did you find the same issue's or are my eyes just weird?

Hey lovelies! This is today's outfit, very blue for some reason but I quite like it. I bought this gorgeous blue velvet blazer in a charity shop a few weeks ago and just love it! It is huge on me so I tend to roll up the sleeves, but I quite like the baggy look and I think it works perfectly with this navy playsuit from Primark. I added some texture with the houndstooth tights and kept it simple with my black brogues. I hope you like it!
