My favourite skin care products!

Hi Everyone, today I am going to be showing you some of my favourite skin care products! All the products below can be found in boots and other drugstores and are all reasonably priced. I hope you enjoy this!



The first product is a facial wash. This really helps clear your skin of any dirt or makeup. It keeps your skin soft and moisturised and helps with acne and spots on your face. When using this product it is best not to scrub your face as that will damage your skin but other than that I think this product is so good for your skin and I would highly recommend it to anyone currently having trouble with their skin.


The next product is a facial toner. This has helped me so much with greasy skin. I use it every morning and night along with Simples Moisturising facial wash and Simples replenishing rich moisturiser. I've been using this product for ages now and absolutely love it. It's great for when struggling with greasy skin and shows results quickly, one of my favourite skin care products!



The last product is Simples 'deep cleansing face mask'. I don't really use face masks that often, but I thought I'd give this one a try and, so far, it has exceded my expectations. This face mask throughly cleans your skin, helping to completley clear your skin which prevents acne and annoying spots.

I hope you've enjoyed this blog post, I am hoping to be able to write more often now that the summer holidays has started! Thats all for now, bye! xx

Scrapbooking ideas!




Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted much recently! I wasn't quite sure what to write about this week, so I decided to go a bit off topic with the whole makeup thing and write about scrapbooking. Now I know not everyone is in to keeping books to write or draw or stick things in but for those who are (like myself) sometimes it can be difficult to choose what to actually create in you're book. I remember buying many pretty note books intending to fill them all with endless designs and patterns like I was going to magically become Picasso overnight, but the problem is, how to start? Many people decide that leaving the first page blank is by far the best option, and can give you more time to think about what you're actually going to create on it, but if you are not like this and prefer to fill each page, then I thought I give you all some suggestions.

1. The first thing you could do either on the first page or just any other random page in your book is buy a bunch of pretty or cute stickers and stick them at random, accompanying them with maybe a quote or your name or a few words on what you want to fill the rest of your book with.



2. The second thing you could write in your book is quotes. I absolutely love a ton of quotes from John Green's book, The fault in our stars which is absolutely incredible. You can take any type of statement or quote that you like though and document it, whether its from a book or famous scientist or actor.



3. If you're looking for something quite simple to do, then another thing which looks arty is going on to Tumblr or Pintrest and finding some pictures that you like or are interested by, printing them out and sticking them in to your book. I have done this myself and I think it looks very creative considering it's quite simple.



4. Right, so the last idea I thought that I would throw in is using the things around you. Like nature, for example, in this picture I collected a whole bunch of different leaves and simply stuck them down and there you have it! Another page succsesfully filled. If sticking leaves in your book doesn't appeal as fun or arty to you, then instead of leaves you could buy flowers and press them (you know, with one of them cool flower press things) and stick them in any shape or pattern you like. You could collect stamps or whatever you find of interest to stick in your book as well.  

That is all for my blog post today, I hope that it has given you a few ideas of your own. Thank you if you've read this far, hope you enjoyed! xx
