The body shop drops of youth!

Hey everyone,

So Zoella.. You all know her! Has been raving about this new skin care product called "drops of youth bouncy sleeping mask" by The body shop and it just sounded AMAZING to me! 

Firstly, it's a sleeping mask that you don't have to wash off in the morning!! WHAT? You get to put something on your skin that's going to act as a mask and a night cream? Yes please!  

Second, its both a moisturizer and a gel which is even more amazing than it sounds! I can't even begin to describe how nice it feels!

 

The only downside I have it already is that it comes with a little spatula that you can't attach anywhere on the tub but I think you would need it to make sure you don't put too much product on your face. 

It cost £22 which is a lot of money for me to spend on skincare as I've never spent that before but everyone I speak to says it's really cheap! 

Anyway boys and girls, I've put it on tonight and I'll let you know how it goes after a couple of uses!

Let me know if you've got it too and what you think of it?

Lots of love

My everyday skincare routine

Hiya everyone!

Today I thought I would give you a quick overview of my current skincare routine.. 

I have never before been into skincare but this year decided I needed to be so I went to boots and bought some products at the start of the year.  Now after a couple of months I have finally found a routine and products that I really like using!  I used to just use a face wipe then simple moisturiser every night and morning and will still use my simple moisturiser in the mornings when at the gym. 


The first step is to use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water with 2 cotton pads (more if its a heavy makeup day) and I swear this gets off SO MUCH makeup!! As I said, I used to use face wipes and I still have them but when I found out that there is only 1 ingredients different from a face wipe and a floor wipe I just couldn't continue using them on a daily basis! This water takes off so much dirt even if I'm not wearing make up and I love it so much!

The next step for me is to use my toner.  For this I just use the Boots essentials cucumber facial toner.  I love this stuff!  I started off by buying the whole skin range from the cucumber boots essentials range and I really liked it! the night cream was nice and the cleanser was good too.  I just didn't like having to get up when I used my cleanser and I found a night cream that was better!


After this I go on to using the Lush lip scrub called "The Kiss."  I think this was a valentines day special but there are plenty other lipscrubs that have great reviews online.  I love the smell of this scrub and feel like it has been working wonders on my lips since I started using it!  I don't use this every night but when I've been wearing lipstick all day, its a must!


Once I have done all of the hard work my face feels really fresh and this is the perfect time to put a nice thick night cream on.  I am in love with the Nivea daily essentials regenerating night cream!  I put it on my face and neck before I go to my bed and in the morning my face feels so bouncy and like its full of moisture!  I have gotten all the girls at work onto using night creams as it makes such a difference to me when I am applying make up in the morning!

On my body I use the Zoella creamy madly dreamy body lotion.  I know its a classic youtuber product but I am obsessed with the smell and it feels really nice when applied.  I don't know if I will buy this again but I am enjoying it whilst I have it :)








I am still really new to loving my skin so if anyone has any suggestions I would love some feedback and advice on what I should buy next?

Lots of love
