Daily Makeup Removal/Skincare *Updated*

Hiii, today I have my makeup removal and my skincare routine for you! Sometimes I get quite bad skin at weird and random times so I worked really hard to try and put together something that would work for when I have bad skin and for when I don't. I'm really happy with it at the moment so I thought I'd share it with you! 

The first thing that I do is wipe any eye make up off using this remover from Simple. I've always been quite wary with using eye removers so I've always just used water. But I'm so glad I got out of that mindset, they are so good! I love this one because, like it says, it's kind to eyes and obviously, you don't want anything harsh on your eyes. I definitely recommend this! 

To get rid of the rest of my make up, I use this Facial Wash Gel, again from Simple. If I did a 'Favourites' post every month, I guarantee that this would be there every month, it is incredible! I did a post about this a few months ago so I won't go into detail but if you're interested in this, go and check out my other post!

Lastly, again from Simple, I use their Toner. I'm so glad I picked this up because one, it's good for getting any remaining bits of make up off and two, it makes refreshes my skin, especially in the morning. I know quite a few people are unsure about toners, as was I, but I honestly think this one is so incredible for my skin. 

While I'm on the subject of Simple, on their website they have a section called 'You and Your Skin' and if you go on that, it directs you to start a questionnaire. It asks you a bunch of questions about your skin and your skincare routine and it comes up with ways in which you can improve certain bits. It also gives you a lot of information about each part of getting good skin. If you're unsure about what you're doing wrong or you just want more information about your skin, then I'd definitely check this out! It's helped me so much! 

After taking my makeup off, I will use these pads from Avon. They are small pads, just a little bigger than a 2p coin and they are amazing! I just take about 5 minutes and gently rub them over my skin and they leave my skin feeling amazing and refreshed. I can't really describe how good they are or what it's like afterwards, it's just one of them things you have to try to really understand how good they are. 

After I've wiped all of my make up off, I use this moisturizer from Nivea. I love it so much! It's so light and it has SPF 15 so what more could you want?!

I thought I'd show you this because it's so affordable but the products last ages anyway so you don't really spend a lot. Anyway, I hope you liked it!

Make Up Starter Kit

Hiii, today I have a make up starter kit for you which basically has everything I think you will need if you're starting to wear make up. Some of you have probably seen some of these before but this is my take on it! 

Before I start, I need to apologize for the pictures! I had to change where I was taking them just for today and they all have shadows so I'm very sorry! 

 The first thing that is essential when you're wearing make up is a good face wash. I picked up the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel a few weeks ago and I love it. It's about £3 and it's so worth it! I have noticed an incredible difference in the last few weeks so if you're starting to wear make up or you already wear it, this is definitely something I would recommend! 

Another product that is essential is moisturiser. The one I tend to use is the Nivea Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream. As well as keeping your skin fresh, moisturiser helps as a base for your foundation which is so useful!

If you are lucky enough to have good skin, I would use tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation. One that I found works really well is the Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser. It comes in three different colours and this is the Natural shade which is £1.99. I still use tinted moisturiser now, for example, if I'm having a good skin day (which is not very often) and I'm just popping to town for half an hour, I'll wear this so I don't have to go through the whole process of putting make up on when there's no need to. 

However if you're looking for something with a bit more coverage because like me, you have bad skin, then I would recommend the Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation which is £7.99. I have had this since I started wearing make up and it was so useful at the beginning because it gave me good coverage without it being too thick.  

One thing that isn't essential is concealer. But just in case, I would recommend the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer. This is £5.49 but it is so worth it! I've used this since I started wearing make up and I still wear it now. It just adds a little bit more coverage in places like under your eyes or on spots. 

On to mascara, this is probably one of my favourites and it is the Collection Lengthening Mascara and it is £2.99. This isn't the one that I used but I didn't know about this at the time. With most mascaras, you can't wear them for day and night but with this one you can. It lasts a good few hours so there's no need to keep re-applying it throughout the day. 

The Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Palette can be used for two things which are eyeshadow or for eyesbrows. It is £2.99 from Boots. Before I started filling in my eyebrows, I used this as an eyeshadow palette. The colours are so easy to wear and they are simple to apply. As for eyesbrows, I don't like thick eyebrows so I go for a more natural brow by just filling them in with some eyeshadow. 

What I really like about this palette is the fact that it comes with a 'How To Use' section on the back which is so useful if you're just starting out.   

I know a lot of people like bolder colours so this one is definitely useful. I can't find this one in the brochure or on the website but they do very similar ones for about £7. I found it really useful when I was starting to get into eyeshadow so I would definitely say it's worth a try. My cousin has one and she's 14 and I know she loves it as well, especailly with the colours. 

I hope you enjoyed this! I tried to keep it as simple and as cheap as possible, so I hope it was helpful!

First Impressions

Hiii, today I have a first impressions post for you on the Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel. I've only tried it once, obviously, but I love it so much already so I thought I'd share it with you! 

Before I start, I should probably mention that you can get this from many high street stores like Boots, Superdrug, etc and it's about £3, depending where you get it from. 

Like I said, I bought this yesterday and I love it for 2 reasons. The first being it is light. Usually, I can feel the products on my skin afterwards but with this, you can't. I have tried many products like this that have been thick and you know it's on your skin. I find it really refreshing and it's really easy and simple to use. 

The second reason is that it makes my skin feel clean. If you suffer with acne, you know that it's difficult to make your face feel and look clean. But this does both of those things. My face hasn't felt properly clean in about 2 months and as soon as I used this, it was the cleanest it's felt and looked in a long time. 

I would honestly recommend this to anyone, especially to someone with spots/acne. You use a little bit at a time and for £3, you can't go wrong. It's definitely worth a try!
