Mini Pamper Routine♡

Hello lovelies! Welcome back to my blog. I thought I would do another blogpost as I am going away tomorrow. I thought a pamper routine would be a perfect idea as I've broken up from school and to start the holidays with a relaxing pamper evening.

Let's get started♡

When I've come in from school I tend to always have a bath first so start off by lighting a few candles to set the mood. I'm burning my well loved Neom Candle, Yankee Candle in fireside treats and a few plain candles from Ikea. 

I firstly like to pour a little bit of the Clarins  Tonic Bath and Shower concentrate in to my bath as it makes lots of bubbles and smells divine! I also went for a bath bomb! This one is by Lush and is called Bombardino which smells like cinnamon and makes the bath water yellow and sparkly. 

I'm going to start off by washing my body with the Body Shop Coconut Shower cream which I got for Christmas. This smells unreal omg I'm the most biggest coconut fan....

 

Whenever I have a pamper evening I always use a scrub or exfoliater. Today I thought I would go for something a little bit more gentle and that's the Soap and Glory the scrub of your life body buffer. Basically a body buffer is a more gentle scrub and isn't harsh for your skin. The smell of this body scrub is exactly like hand food from soap and glory which is a huge bonus!

 

Time to wash my face! I've been trying out new face washes recently and I've fallen in love with the bareminerals purifying facial cleanser. This cleanser is so gentle and smells heavenly! It doesn't break me out which recently I've been finding with some other face washes. I firstly splash my face with cold water and massage gently which creates a light creamy lather. Then rinse off with warm water. Then I like to pop a bit of the Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic which I think works really well with the face wash.  I always tend to put a mask on when I have a pamper evening and my favourite one is the Liz Earle Intensive nourishing treatment mask. This just soothes your skin and makes it all lovely and soft. 

Moisturising time! If you didn't know me I own too many body shop body butters.... My favourite at the moment is the Mango one. I know this is quite a summery scent but I tried it out a couple of days ago and instantly fell in love with it.

Next I like to put on my cosy clothes♡ I literally live in Joggers... I will be wearing my Hollister Joggers, A slouchy top from Zara and some Slipper boots which are from the White Company.

 

Time to paint my nails♡ As I am going away tomorrow I wanted a bit more of a brighter colour than usual. 

Firstly I will file my nails and make them all tidy. Then I will take the O.P.I nail envy which is a base coat for your nails and let that dry for a few minutes. The colour I'm taking today is a Topshop nail polish in the shade Occupational Therapy which is a beautiful pastel lavender. When I've painted both hands and let it dry I go over with a top coat to prevent chipping.

 

Then I head downstairs and grab myself a nice cup of tea and something sweet♡ Tonight I'm going to stay downstairs, watch some youtube videos and read some magazines♡

I hope you have enjoyed this blogpost sorry if it was quite a short one but I am packing and sorting out things for tomorrow! I would have extended my pamper evening if I wasn't going away the next day.

Love

What's in my Travel makeup bag?♡

Hello lovelies! I thought why not do whats in my 'travel' makeup bag as I am going away on Saturday so that's what I'm going to do for you today. 

It's quite hard for me to pick out makeup to bring with me as I really want to bring it all! But I've narrowed it down to the things that I really need.

Let's get started!♡

Because I don't have much room to put my brushes in with my makeup I always tend to bring a small makeup bag for my brushes. Pretty much all my makeup bags are Cath kidston! 

Starting from the left:

♡ Powder Brush - For obviously applying powder! 

♡ Multi Task brush - I much prefer this brush for applying my blush than the Blush brush! ( that was a mouthful...)

♡ Expert Face brush - this brush always gives a flawless finish to my foundation.

♡ Stippling brush - A spare brush for my foundation.

♡ Countour brush - Obviously for contouring!

♡ Three eyeshadow brushes from the Real Techniques Starter set.

Obviously I've got to bring my Naked 3 as I wear most of the shades in this palette all the time! I'm always scared to bring this with me as I think it's going to shatter in the suitcase... If I feel like I want a bit of colour one day I'll pop on one of the Maybelline colour tattoos. This shade is On and On bronze and this colour has to be my all time favourite! It's a beautiful coppery taupe colour with golden shimmer.

Naked 3 - £37.00

Maybelline Colour tattoos - £3.99

I will be bringing two foundations on my travels! And that is the Vitalumière Aqua by Chanel and L'orèal True Match. I thought that the Vitalumière Aqua would be perfect for an evening foundation as it's very high coverage. For the day time I thought that the L'orèal true match foundation would be good as it's very lightweight and looks very natural.

Vitalumière Aqua - £32.00

L'orèal True Match - £9.99

I've been changing up my concealer recently as I've started to drift away from the Collection lasting perfection Concealer. For a more highlighting concealer I thought I would bring Rimmel wake me up concealer as it's very lightweight and not cakey! My new favourite concealer is the Laura Geller real deal concealer. This is by far the best concealer as it hides dark circles and blemishes instantly. It's quite high coverage if you put a lot on but if you don't like it to be high coverage only pop a little on. 

Rimmel wake me up - £4.99

Real deal concealer - £22.00

Bit obsessed with blush at the moment... First blush I'm bringing with me is Nars Deep Throat. It's the most beautiful pink you will ever see and I recommend checking it out. I wear this blush mostly everyday because it gives that lovely flushed look to your cheeks. I purchased this gorgeous m.a.c blush not too long ago and it's so pretty. This is a Sheertone Shimmer blush so it isn't overly pigmented but gives a lovely rosy pink colour to your cheeks. Lastly the well loved Rockateur. I can't get over how pretty this blush is! It's a gorgeous bronze/peachy pink colour and is highly pigmented.

Nars blush - £22.50

M.A.C blush - £15.00

Rockateur blush by Benefit - £23.50

 

Bit boring but It's key to powder if you have oily skin like me! This is a replacement powder as I smashed my well loved Hello flawless powder by Benefit. I must say though this is a really lovely powder and does the job well.

£3.99

Revlon lash potion is by far my favourite drugstore mascara. This will definitely be  coming with me! It makes your lashes unbelievably long and bold which I love♡ Also the packaging is super cute too which also made me want to buy it!

Revlon lash potion - £9.99

This mini Porefessional will also be coming with me as it's a miracle worker for your skin. I normally don't wear this throughout the day but I will wear this in the evening.

From the She's so Jetset kit by Benefit- 

Ok ok ok I might be bringing a bit too many lipsticks....

If you don't know me I'm a big lipstick/lipgloss fan so I went a little overboard! At the very top we have a Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait which is a natural pink colour with a tiny bit of golden shimmer. In the long pink tube we have a new discovery of mine which is a philosophy lip gloss. This one is called Sugar sprinkles and oh my goodness the smell of this is heaven. The colour of this lipgloss is a barbie pink colour with a tiny bit of shimmer. This lipgloss is unbelievably pigmented which I love. Then we come to a YSL lipstick in the shade Rouge Voluptè 19 which is my favourite pink in the world! The one that I'm holding is M.A.C Chatterbox which I recently purchased. I haven't actually tried this yet but it's a beautiful barbie pink. Then we have my only topshop lipstick in the shade beguiled. This is quite a dark ruby red colour but when you blend it in with your fingers you are left with this gorgeous natural Berry shade. Last but not least I have one more M.A.C lipstick this is in the shade Lustering. I've had this colour for a while now and I can't get enough of it! It's a gorgeous dark pink with an undertone of red to it.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blogpost today. I hope to do another blosgpost before I go away on Saturday♡

Love

Nail polish collection♡

Hello lovelies and welcome back to my blog. Today I thought I would do something a little different and that is my nail polish collection! I haven't done any collection posts on my blog so I thought why not do one today! I've got to admit I do have quite a few nail polishes....

Here is just a little picture to show you an overview of all of my nail polishes. Do you know what I mean by quite a 'few' nail polishes....

The acrylic container is from Amazon around £12.00.

I am going to go through the nail polishes by collections so starting off with O.P.I

I am quite obsessed with O.P.I nail polishes I just think they have so many lovely colours and don't chip which I love♡ The shades are:

Starting from the left

♡ Japanese Rose garden

♡ Lincoln Park after Dark

♡Kennelbunk-Port

♡ An Affair in Red Square

♡ Nail Envy

♡You're a Pisa work

♡ Japanese Rose Garden

Just realised I have two of them!

♡Pedal faster Suzi!

♡Dutch'ya just love OPI?

I am literally in love with all of these shades and my favourite at the moment would be Kennelbunk-port which is a perfect ruby red colour♡ 

OPI nail polishes are £11.95 which I think is quite expensive but definitely worth the money.

 

Now moving on to Nails inc♡

I have quite unusual colours from Nails inc but they are all so pretty. 

Starting from the left:

♡ the southbank

♡ Lennox gardens

♡ Maddox street

♡ Victoria

♡ the serpentine 

♡ kabaret

They are all just so PERFECT! My favourite out of the six at the moment would be Lennox gardens which is a gorgeous grey/taupe colour. I've been wearing this colour quite a lot recently especially in the winter months. £11.00 each.

Moving on to Chanel! Chanel nail polishes are kind of pricey but in my opinion worth the money as they have a whole range of beautiful colours.

Starting from the left:

♡ Pèridot

♡ Particulière 

♡ Ballerina 

♡ Rouge Réd

I pretty much love all of these colours and don't just have one favourite. Pèridot is my go to nail polish for summer as it changes colour when your in the sun and is the perfect colour when you have a tan. £18.00 each 

Ok I'm quite obsessed with Barry M.... I think these nail polishes are amazing and have the most biggest colour range ever. You can literally get these anywhere Boots,Superdrug, River Island etc.

Starting from the left:

♡ Blue Moon

♡ Bright Pink

♡ Peach Melba 

♡ Mint Green

♡ Berry Ice Cream

♡ Strawberry Ice Cream

♡ Chameleon Pink

♡ Prickly Pear

♡ Grapefruit 

♡ Cappucino 

♡ Gold glitter

I regret buying Chameleon Pink as it doesn't do what it says on the packaging and doesn't come out a very nice colour. Peach Melba is my second favourite go to summer shade as it's a beautiful bright peachy/coral colour. £2.99 each

Essie's definitely my favourite Nail brand that you can get from the Drugstore. They are priced around £8.00 which I think is a reasonably price as they are all amazing and don't chip at all.

Starting from the left:

♡ All tied up

♡ Fiji

♡ delicacy 

♡ Cute as a button

 My favourites are Cute as a button and Fiji. Cute as a button is a gorgeous coral/hot pink colour and perfect for spring and summer. Fiji is a pretty pale pink colour and is great for all year round.

I only own two Topshop nail polishes but really want more! These are so so lovely and I highly reccomend them! They have a massive stand in Topshop with lots of beautiful colours.

The shades are Easy Peasy which is a mossy green/grey colour and Occupational Therapy which is a beautiful pastel purple. 

£8.00 each

The last five are just random and the ones that I don't tend to grab for at the moment.

Starting from the left:

♡ Rimmel Wear max - Speed dating

♡ Rimmel Lasting finish - Hot Shot

♡ Sally Hansen Complete Salon manicure - Commander in Chic

♡ Revlon Colourstay - Eclectic 

♡ Jack wills Nail varnish - Hot pink 

I hope you have enjoyed this long blogpost on my nail polish collection.
