My up to date skin care products

Heyyyy guys! so today it's a really gorgeous day with the sun out an being all warm an everything.

I was sorting out my cupboard when I decided that I'm gonna give you a little insight into my skin care products that I'm currently using.

now I know most people say how amazing these products are and stuff but I'm gonna back them up really I am. and I know most people go on and on about these products and are very popular but I use the Clinique brand products I find that this is one of the only brands that keep my skin healthy and fresh looking....

I use the 3-step skincare system '3 steps, 3 minutes, twice a day'.

so the first product that I use is the facial soap which acts as a cleanser.


'Clinically formulated cleansing-that's how great skin starts. Clinique's dermatologists believe soap is best. Our non-drying formula removes facial dirt and oil. Works to loosen surface flakes. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, comfortable-perfectly prepped for the exfoliating action of Clarifying Lotion. Custom-fit to skin type in Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination and Combination Oily/Oily skin formulas.'

I find this a really refreshing soap to use it's available in solid soap or liquid I have the liquid which come in a cute bottle which is easy to use as it has a pump on. I use a good single pump which is about enough and can lather up just right. I havn't tried the solid soap so im not sure what it's like to use.

the second step is the clarifying lotion which is an equivilant to normal toner.


'Exfoliation is the engine of skin renewal. Why Clinique's dermatologist-developed Clarifying Lotion is the difference-maker. Custom-fit to skin type in Mild, Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination, Combination Oily and Oily Skin formulas.'

the differet types of clarifying lotion are numbered and have different colours. I have number two which is the purple one, it is the most popular type of clarifying lotion. this product comes with a choice of two bottle sizes one is 200ml and another is 400ml obviously there is a difference in prices.

the last step is the dramatically different moisturisng lotion/gel.


'ramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is the moisture "drink" developed by Clinique dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance. Custom-fit to skin type in Very Dry to Dry Combination skin formula.'
'The oil-free version of our famous moisturizer. Custom-fit to skin type in Combination Oily to Oily skin formula.'
this is a very good moisturizer but I only use it at night although it seems to last me forever. I have the lotion version as I have dryer skin.

also I have two other steps I added in myself the first is take the day off cleansing milk.


'Gentle, milky makeup dissolver removes even long-wearing facial makeup and sunscreens, then tissues off or rinses away with water. Residue-free formula leaves all skin types soft, comfortable. For all skin types; ideal for drier skins.'
this I find removes most of my make up very quickly and is very easy to use. although I do find that it stings my eyes alot :( but other than that I think this is a perfect make up remover. I usually use this product before using my facail soap as the facail soap doesn't remove makeup.

then instead of using the facail soap in the morning I use the seven day scrub.


'Skin looks translucent, clearer brighter; takes edge off tiny lines. Better stimulation; promotes even skin tone. Helps control oil-related problems. Gives a light reflecting look to mature skin. Allows better makeup application. Moisturiser absorbs more easily. Will not scratch. Gentle; leaves no residue on skin after rinsing. De-flakes, polishes, clears pores.'
this is the perfect exfoliator for me it leaves my skin soft and ready for my foundation application. I have also found it removes black heads effectively over time.

Now I'm going to jump in the shower and get ready for an Indian (also tonight I'm seeing case 39, hope it's good!)

have a great day! hope you enjoyed this little post :)

Scouting for girls new album = amazing!

Hey guys.... I hope you're all doing good! today was better then yesterday I feel more awake, not so groggy and my throat has stopped killing me YAY! I honestly havn't had a sore throat that bad in years(watch out, hope none of you get it) and now I am starting to worry this summer is going to be bad for hayfever sufferers :s. but anyways I want to do posts everyday and keep that up for a while so I came home had a shower etc. and then started to think of things that I could write about in my post today....

so there I was listening to the new scouting for girls album its called 'Everybody wants to be on TV'and I have to say this is definately my favourite album for a while. I have had it for a couple of days now and have been listening to it several times everyday,from the first time I listened to it I can honestly say I fell in love with the songs - they were super catchy and will deffo have you sining along to them all day. my favourite songs have to be 'goodtime girl', 'posh girls' and 'blue as your eyes'. seriously if you buy this CD you will not be dissapionted. But I still havn't decided whether I prefer this new album or their old one comment bellow and tell me what album you prefer and what song is your favourite :).
here are pictures of the album cover and song list at the back of the CD case:





I have also been noticing that I am over eccessively using hand gel at the moment I think that I know what has caused it though the swine flu epidemic I was soooo sure I didn't want swine flu I started using hand sanitizer everyday after hearing about how bad it actually is. but now I'm wondering if this is going to cause problems with my immune system and make me more prone to viruses and bugs going around. hmmmm I really think I need to stop this obsession :s.

right now I am hoping that I can catch the last 90210 episode on the TV sometime after stupidly forgetting to watch it on tuesday :( and plus I hadn't watched the episode the week before either ohhhh dear I really need to catch up I wanna know whats going on with Naomi and everyone. I feel as if I'm losing out on soooo much.

Ha ha I am amusing myself by tickling my dogs feet they are obvioucly very sensitive as she seems to be getting very ajitaded and has started to kick me oooops.

And just one last thing I have recently noticed that I dont like the style of jeans that are out this season the ones with rips in and which are rolled up at the bottom which seems to me sorry if I offend anyone but this is just personal oppinion I really think that they look kind of strange maybe as if they don't fit properly. I want to know if I'm going mad and actually they do look good please leave a comment bellow telling me your opinion on the new style jeans :).

off to make a hot chocolate with cream and marshmellows mmmmm :) byeeee guys xxxx

Descisions, descisions

heyyyy guys hope you've all had a great day! I've spent the whole day at home today as I've felt crappy but I have just had a refreshing shower which has made me feel better btw I used lush sweetie pie shower jellie which I am totally in love with( so sad I know right!) but I'll tell you what I love about it - it leaves my skin feeling soooo soft afterwards, It smells like the lushest sweets in the entire would and this scent lasts for ages on your skin so you go around smelling like a 'sweetie pie' all day :) and it glitters and I am abdolutely obsessed with glitter ever since twilight and overall it jus looks pretty so heres a pic -->
It's £2.30 per 100g at lush and is my favourite showergel of this month but the only problem is that because its hand made it has a sell by date on so I spose you have to use it up by then a bit like you do with food but this showergel seems to last for quite a while and also it takes a while to lather up.

I have just got rather annoyed with my internet because it has decided that because I am having such a good day (not) it is going to make my day worse by shutting down halfway through writing this post (thankfully I didn't loose it) well thats technology for you.

but I am currently deciding whether to study for spanish or paint my nails and if I did paint my nails what colour to use hmmmm descisions descisions....

soooo the verdict is I have decided to do some spanish which I know is the right choice but I will probably end up painting my nails as I really need to.

I'm thinking also about what post to do for tomorrow so if you want me to write somthing in particular if I dont find anything else in my rather boring life to talk about. if you do write me a comment:)

byeeee guys xxxx

Tuesday 20 April 2010

hey guys so I really wanted to write a post but I really didn't know what to write about so I decided to write about the fashion at the moment and what type of clothes I would wear to match this style of fashion. ok so the fashion at the moment is based around the style of a cowgirl and since I really like that type of fashion I decided to use it and my choice of clothes as an example. I find that the cowgirl style is very contemporary and you can fit different elements of it into other fashions as it goes with most things certainly the cowboy boots do anyways. so here I'll give you an example of the gowgirl look I would wear.
first is this white top (from Jane Norman £25)with crochet detailling around the neck and chest

which I think would pair well with skinny jeans which you can get from any clothes store and some cowboy boots like these
. I have some of my own I can't remember where I got them from but I find them very comfy to wear and has very neat embroidery detailing along the top, has a two inch heel and is made from tan leather.there are a wide range of cowboy boots as they can have different sized heels different coloured leather and deteailling e.t.c so you can pick whatever type of boot you love. you can add any type of accessories as this look can be dressed up or down depending on where you are wearing it an can be mixed with any type of colour.

Crappy mornings

Ugh don't you just hate those days when you wake up and you feel completely ill but you know you still have to get up and get ready e.t.c even though you have no energy what so ever. well that was the type of day I woke up to today and I found out I had the worst sore throat I've had in a while loads of drinks and 2 ibuprofen later and I still feel the same as I did when I woke up, really not good.
