Back late last year (Yes, i've left this review a while..)  I picked up these two products on offer in Superdrug. 'Clearly Youthful' is not a brand i'd heard about, but I needed a new face scrub, and i'm always trying new things, so I thought i'd pick this one up. (You can read my review on the Serum soon.)
It was the packaging that drew me towards them, I really like the packaging. I don't know what it is about them that I like so much, I just think it looks really professional. It's also very minimalistic, which I particularly love. I bought these purely for the anti-blemish aspect of them, not the anti-ageing, as i'm only 19.
I find that this works really well to help keep my blemishes at bay. It doesn't completely get rid of them, but I find that it definitely stops those big, angry spots appearing. It's also quite gentle on my face, considering it's a scrub, so I feel like I can use it daily without my skin becoming irritated. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and so fresh. I can clearly see the difference it's making in my face. It's a lot more radiant than it used to be. I can't rave about this product enough!
Since I took these photos, i've actually repurchased this product twice, I am obsessed with it!!

Sorry this review was so short, but I didn't have much to say, except how much I love this product!
This brand is exclusive to Superdrug and you can purchase it in stores or from their website here. It's a steal at only £4.99

Thank you for reading!

First up is this beautiful bag I got for a mere £8 from Primark. You may recognise this from my recent haul post, and it's been getting used loads! I mainly wear monochrome colours, so i've found this yellow bag to be a perfect way to add a pop of colour. (Plus, yellow is so stylish right now, I love it!)

 Next up is a bit of a weird one.. It's these tissues. I think I got them in Poundland or something, I can't really remember, they were in a pack of 10, but how cute are they?! I've had a really bad cold so I am always carrying tissues around with me right now! I particularly like the blue packet.






 I was recently in London (post coming soon) and I needed a little travel shampoo and conditioner. I've used these before, and loved them, and nothing's changed. They leave my hair feeling so smooth, and they smell lovely, and I can't rave about this brand enough.



This next product has been a lifesaver. I've had really bad skin over the past month, because of severe stress, but this has really helped to keep it reasonable. Basically, you spray a bit on your face, and let it dry, and it acts as preventing blemishes, and it works like a charm!

I got this face scrub in a beauty box, and i'd never heard of the brand before, but I will definitely be checking out more of their stuff! This makes my skin feel so soft, and I can really feel the exfoliating beads working at getting rid of dead skin, and thoroughly clean my face.

Lastly is this body spray from Victoria's Secret. It's quite pricy at £13, but I just love this smell so much. It's honestly amazing. It's coconut and vanilla, and I really just adore it. It's my go-to scent, and I have the smaller bottle as well, which is perfect for throwing in a handbag!


So that's what i've been loving through May! What were you loving?
Until next time!

I decided that it was about time I showed you what I use on my hair/body on a daily basis. I didn't want to do a full morning routine, or a full night one, but I did want to show something. This is why I chose to do a morning/night routine - the hair and skincare edition! So lets go!



In the morning, after I have breakfast, the first thing I do is brush my teeth. I chop and change toothpaste all the time, but at the moment i'm using the "Colgate Advanced Sensation White". It's okay, but it hasn't really made my teeth any whiter, but i've yet to find one that does.
I then wash my face, and to do this I am currently using the "Clean & Clear Advantage Foaming Wash" and I absolutely love it. It's really affordable, and it's really great at helping to clear up blemishes (although it's not great at clearing up those annoying hormonal spots - dammit!)
Once or twice a week I like to use a face scrub, and the one i've been really liking is the "Garnier Pure-Active Anti-Spot Exfoliating Scrub". Much like the face wash, this is good at getting rid of blemishes, and it leaves my skin feeling so soft! I couldn't use this more than twice a week as I think it would definitely dry out my skin.
I then go ahead and put on eye cream, and I am using the "Simple Revitalising Eye Roll-On". This is really soothing under my eyes, and it's okay at reducing puffiness, although it's not great at actually making those horrible dark circles disappear.
The lip balm I use is one i've been going back to for years. It's the "Palmers' Cocoa Butter" one, and it is amazing. So moisturising, and it smells delicious! A definite must-have for me.
The moisturiser i'm currently trying out is the "Nivea Light Moisturising Day Cream". It works really well at making my skin really soft, although it does take a little while to actually sink into my skin, which means it isn't ideal for those days when i'm running late. (aka most days)
For my hair, I tend to straighten it most days, although sometimes I do just braid it the night before, and undo it the next day and voila, hair is done. One product I use before I brush my hair is the "Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protecting Spray". Not only is it a heat spray, but as it has Keratin in it, it means it's amazing at detangling my hair! I've done a full review on my blog, which you can read here.
I then of course use deodorant, and I use "Nivea Invisible Black and White" one. It does the job. There isn't much more I can say about a deodorant!



As you can see, some of the products I use at night are the same as those I use in the morning. I'll quickly run through why I use these.
The face wash and eye cream are just great both morning and night, as they are gentle enough, and I really like them.
The toothpaste I keep the same, obviously.
I also use the same lip balm, because it is my holy grail product.
I am a night showerer. I have such long, thick hair that it is an absolute nightmare to wash, which is why I do it when I have the most time, which happens to be at night. I am currently using the "Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner The Sleek Restorer" in the coconut scent. I'm not a huge fan of the smell, but it does wonders to my hair.
I also change around my body wash all the time, and at the moment I have the "Radox Cherry Blast Shower Gel" and I am in love with the smell of this! (Cherries are one of my favourite things.) It also lathers up really well. I really recommend it.
After I come out of the shower I use the "Tresemme Heat Spray" like I use in the morning, just to protect my hair, and help detangle it.
Once a week I will use a leave in conditioner in my hair, and the one I have absolutely been loving recently is the "Charles Worthington Moisture Seal" one. It smells really nice, and it leaves my hair feeling so soft.
Also once a week I like to use a face mask, and this "Superdrug Aloe Vera Mud Mask" is so good! And it was only around £3! Absolute bargain. It makes my skin feel amazing.
To take off my makeup I love the "Garnier Micellar Water". It's just amazing. It's so gentle on the skin, and it takes off everything, all for under a fiver.
The only part of my skin routine I change at night is that I use the "Nivea Rich Regenerating Night Cream".  It's basically a heavier version of the day cream, leaves my skin feeling really soft, but takes ages to sink into the skin.
I also use a spot cream, because I have really bad skin. I've tried countless creams, and the only one i've found to work on most spots (again, not the hormonal ones, sorry!) is the "Lush Grease Lightning". It's a much raved about product in the blogging world, and I can see why. It's really good.

And that's everything I use in the morning and night times! Have you tried any of the products i've shown? Please let me know, i'd love to hear what you think of them! Or if you have any recommendations (maybe for moisturisers?) then let me know that as well!
Thanks for reading, see you soon!

It is officially August! We are more than halfway through the year already! (Where has the year gone, seriously?!) I haven't done one of these blog posts, but I love reading about them, so i'm going to do my July Favourites, because there have been a lot of beauty (and pretty random) things i've been loving throughout the month of July.

Lets start with hair products, shall we?

(it says 4 spot fighting ingredients, 1 natural anti-bacterial, 0 no perfume, no colour)

Hey ladies! Today's post is another review! Before buying this, I read up on some reviews online, and let me tell you, they were very mixed! However, I went ahead and purchased it none the less, as on a whole, I love Simple's products. Plus, I love trying out new products, and I was in desperate need of a new moisturiser, so why not?
As I mentioned, i've liked most of the products that i've tried from Simple so far, so I had high hopes for this product. My skin breaks out really bad, so when I saw that this was supposed to help reduce spots, of course it was going to interest me.
My first impression was that I loved the packaging. I know it doesn't effect the actual product, but if it's visually appealing, then i'm going to like it before i've even tried it. (I'm hoping to study design at university, so i'd like to think I have a relatively good eye for design.)
When I squeezed a little bit out of the tube, I first noticed that it was pretty runny, almost too runny. However, I went ahead and put it on my face. Unlike what a lot of reviews said, I thought this absorbed really quickly, feels refreshing on my skin, and I almost instantly had a healthy glow. Like all Simple products, it doesn't have a smell, which in my opinion is a good thing, as if products are fragranced a lot of the time this means they have added ingredients that are bad for your skin. Definitely not good if you have spot prone/sensitive skin like myself!

I use this product morning and night (I know, I know, I really need to get a night time moisturiser), and in this case, a little bit goes a long way.
Within about a week or so, I started to notice a difference in my skin. It says on the front of the tube "Results from day 1".  Like when most products say this, it definitely did not make a difference from day one, but about after 7 days or so.
 I was breaking out less, and my skin felt less oily (does anyone else get really oily skin under their eyes? I cannot stop it!).  However,contrary to a lot of reviews, it does leave my skin a little too shiny, not oily, just shiny (despite many saying that it keeps it matte) sometimes, but that is easily covered with powder. It also might just be my skin type, so that's not saying that it will be shiny for you reading this.

I love how Simple's products can guarantee that they have no bad things in their products, and they always tell you exactly what it is doing for your skin on the front of the bottle, like you can see in the photos above.
As for the price, I think it's really affordable. At under a fiver, for a decent moisturiser, you can't go wrong really! This is great for people on a budget (such as myself!)
Overall it isn't the best moisturiser I've used, but for the price, and the amount you get, it's worth the money, and I will definitely be re-purchasing it to use on a daily basis. It doesn't prevent spots, but it does help to get rid of them.
I would probably rate it 4/5.

I first saw this tag a while back, but i was recently reading a blog (this one to be precise) and it came up again, so i thought i'd give it a shot!

SKINCARE -

How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice, once in the morning, and once at night. However, sometimes i'm in such a rush in the mornings that I don't have time to do the full cleanse, tone, moisturise that I always do at night.

What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I have pretty normal skin, except for some reason under my eyes get quite oily. I have generally quite sensitive skin, when i'm shaving my legs, i always get rashes, and i'm yet to find a razor that minimises rashes!

What is your current facial wash?
It is the "Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit cream wash" and i love it!

Do you exfoliate?
I exfoliate more so in winter, but I try to exfoliate in summer too!

What brand do you use?
It changes all the time. Currently it's The Body Shop "Sweet Lemon" body scrub. I like it, but I don't love it.

What moisturizer do you use?
For my face i use "Simple, spotless skin anti-blemish moisturiser" and i love it! There's actually a review of it on my blog, which you can read here.

Do you have freckles?
Yes! And I don't like them one little bit. They've became less prominent as i've got older, but they're still there. Some people really suit them, I, however, don't.

Do you use eye cream?
I don't, no, although I know i should. The bags under my eyes are horrendous.

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Yes, and it's a nightmare.

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Luckily, no.



MAKE-UP

What foundation do you use?
I swear by Rimmel's "Wake Me Up" Foundation. I absolutely love it.

How about concealer?
It's a beauty blogger's favourite, it's the Collection(2000?) Lasting perfection concealer. Another favourite of mine.

Do you know your undertone color?
I am neutral, but i have a little bit more of a cool undertone, so i'm between neutral and cool.

What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I personally am too scared to use them. I think they look beautiful, and I have often thought about wearing them, but haven't. I think they look better than mascara, and I may start wearing them soon.

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
I did, yes, luckily for me, I wear a lot of mascara, pretty much every day, so I usually run out of mascara before the three months is up.

What brand of mascara do you use?
I chop and change all the time (i'm on a quest to find the "perfect" mascara!) Currently i'm using Maybelline's 'The Falsies' mascara.

Sephora or MAC?
Both are very expensive, and i don't have a tonne of money, but I have a couple of things my aunt (who lives in America) brought from Sephora, and i love them! I also think Sephora have a wider selection of items, but Mac has the most gorgeous lip shades. I can't pick!

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
I don't, no

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
I only use make-up brushes, and eyelash curlers, i can't live without the curlers!

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
For the eyes i do, if i remember! I'm often in such a rush that i forget. Oops.

For the face?
No, i know I should though!

What is your favourite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
Neutrals, i'm so boring and unadventurous, I know!

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I use pencil in the outer corners of my waterline, but I actually use a gel liner on my top lid, i find it a lot easier to use! (Rimmel Waterproof Gel Liner)

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Hardly ever actually! It's the mascara wands that are a problem..

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I don't mind them, but I don't use them often, as they are a lot messier!

Do you use mineral makeup?
No, i've yet to find a mineral based product that i really love.

What is your favorite lipstick?
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks in 107 and 19.

How about lipgloss?
I don't wear lipgloss, however i have a lip laquer (Rimmel Apocalips in "Big Bang" and "Luna") That I wear quite often!

What is your favourite blush to use?
Because I have really rosy cheeks, i steer clear of blushes, only ocasionally do i use my Chilli Pepper blush.

Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
I don't, no.

Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes! Pretty much all my products are drugstore! They're great for people who can't afford more high end products (like me), i especially love Rimmel and Barry M(for their nail varnishes)

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
No, there's none anywhere near me!

Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I would love to in the future, yes.

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
If it's early in the morning, I can be absolutely terrible, especially with eyeliner!

Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Too much fake tan, badly drawn on eyebrows, spider like lashes, there is tonnes!

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
For eyes, definitely nude, all the way! For lips, I love a good red lip!

Which celebrity always has great make up?
Emma Watson, Blake Lively, Mollie King, there's loads of celebrities that always look flawless!

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?
Mascara, without a doubt! It really brightens my eyes, and i look horrific without it!

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I wouldn't rule it out, but it rarely happens, even if it's just a coat of mascara, I usually have something on.

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
No, hence the reason I wear it, i have insecurities, like every female!

In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Rimmel, without a doubt! Cheap, and high quality!

What do you think of Makeup??
I love it, and I think it's almost creative in a way? I get excited whenever I buy new products to try..
