Night time routine

Hey guys!

I decided to make this very quick post about my night time routine and what products I usually use before going bed.
Hair:
  After I shower and wash my hair (I was my hair every other day) I put the L'OREAL extraordinary oil just to the ends of my hair to stay healthy and breakage free, along with the oil I spray the Bumble and Bumble thickening spray. I have naturally thick hair but this product just makes my hair feel ad seem very healthy and makes my hair easy to style next day, the product had this specific almost clinical smell like when you go to your dentist ! It's almost a love/hate relationship with the smell of the product. 
Next: My face.
For my face I've been loving the La Roche-posay products as they work just perfectly with my skin type. I've researched this particular brand and read all the reviews for the products I was interested in buying. Firstly from this brand I'm using Purifying foaming gel for oily sensitive skin. It's the perfect face cleanser for me as I am really allergic to any type perfumed products. Next i gently cleanse my skin with Bioderma to get the last bits of make up off. Then I moisturise my skin with the EFFECLAR MAT as the cleanser dries my skin, it's a good balance as the moisturiser sinks in almost immediately. For any imperfections I use EFFECLAR A.I. It gets rid of any imperfections that you simply don't want in your life!
Last product is a sample that I will be running down to BOOTS to purchase as soon as it runs out. I simply can't sleep without it! It's THISWORKS deep sleep pillow spray, I tend to spray it on my pillow once and it just helps me relax before sleep. It's a lavender smell which I adore, however if you go crazy (like I did when I first got it) and spray your whole bed with it you are not guaranteed a good sleep ! (It's so strong!) 

So there you go guys ! I really recommend these products as they work for me and make my life a bit easier!

What's on my face?

Hey guys!

Today I'm dedicating my post to my everyday make-up. I've been asked many times how I do my make up and what products I use so I decided to show you that In this post. I tend to wear very light make up with a hint of bright lip. I use to wear heavy eyeliner everyday but I much prefer wearing simple natural make up as it suits me better than heavy make up. I stick to my favourites in this post such as my YSL foundation. 
Firstly, for the base I use a primer I purchased in Poland from a brand called AA. I've already done a review about this product in my previous post, it's a perfect primer for my sensitive skin. I am very allergic to any perfumed products and this primer is very gentle on my skin and what's most important is that it doesn't brake me out! Then I use one pump of my YSL foundation in B50, it's a perfect foundation for hot summer days. Then I used my favourite blusher from sleek; rose gold. It's very similar to the NARS orgasm blusher. It highlights and adds just perfect natural blush. For under my eye and any blemishes I use collection concealer in medium 3, I love the coverage of this concealer and also it's a perfect match. For mascara I recently started using MEGA VOLUME COLLAGENE 24 in black smoke. I love this mascara so far, I have long eyelashes so it works perfectly to give me thick and black long lashes! For the hint of colour I put TOPSHOP BRIGHT ROCK lipstick in a bright pink, it's very summery and it just completes the look!
I really hope you enjoyed this post and for any questions ask me in the comments !

Pink coat

Hey guys!

This outfit includes 2 items I got in Poland. The pink jacket is a big statement to the outfit as it really stands for the autumn/ winter trend. A lot of designers included pink statement coats in their catwalk shows. I was really lucky to get this beautiful coat for a bargain! 
Next, I got cut out leather boots which were on the more pricey side. I was looking for cut out boots for a while as I've seen some around but I knew that there would be a lot of people wearing the same boots from shops like River island or topshop in autumn, so I wanted to get boots that not many people were likely to have.

My outfit :

                                 
   

                                 

Jacket | reserved | £40.00
Dress | Zara | £22.00

White

Hey guys !

Sorry for not being online for the past couple of days. I am still getting back to my everyday routine after a long holiday, as you probably know I was in Poland! One day I decided to cruise around the shops and I eventually found some goodies. I will post one outfit each day with one of the items I purchased from Poland.
This white blazer caught my attention straight away, I love the pattern quilt on the blazer as it makes the outfit seem more put together, it was around £20.00 on sale ! I've put up this quick outfit to show you the way I would style this blazer.

Hiking death trip

Hey guys!
We took a killer hiking trip yesterday and I wanted to share with you what I wore that day. I was prepared for a light and straight walk but it turned to be a climbing and exhausting walk. If I knew the walk was this hard I would definitely wore shorts not a skirt! 

Here are some pictures of me looking exhausted after 2 out of 4 hours walk:

Holiday beauty essentials

Hey guys!
 As you probably know from my last post I'm on holiday! I always overpack my bag with products, however this time I think I did well. I noticed that I don't wear much make up in the summer anyway so I concentrated more on skin care. As I am in Poland I wanted to check out some beauty shops (like BOOTS or SUPERDRUG in England ) and I got some goodies for my skin that I actually LOVE so far from a brand called AA, and as its Polish and the currency here is amazing so I bought two face creams for 36zloty which is an equal to £8.00! 

                                    
Elvive extraordinary oil | 100ml | £8.49 | BOOTS 

I noticed that the water in Poland is much harder and my hair gets really dry. So I'm so Glad I took my L'OREAL ; elvive extraordinary oil, as it keeps my hair nice and silky smooth.

                                    
Piz buin Tan and protect | 150ml | £17.99 
After sun | 200ml | £10.49
This is one of my favourite oil sprays. I am truly a fan as it makes my skin glow!

                                  
OPI | £12.00
Barry M | £2.99
Every girl needs nail polish on holiday !

                                 
Dr.Jart BB beauty balm | 40ml | £24.00 | Boots
On holiday I like my skin to breathe and I hate caking my face with full coverage foundation. It's nice and light weight so when it's really hot you don't feel like your foundation is going to melt down your face.
One of my favourite bb creams.

                                  
AA COMBINATION SKIN CREAM | sephora | about £4.00
I purchased this item in Poland, it's for combination skin. It's great for mattyfying and moisturising your skin, especially for this time of  year.


                                  

Bioderma | 250ml | £7.99 | Ebay

                                  
Garnier mineral | 150 ml | £2.54

I hate scented sprays because they tend to mix with my perfume. So this is just perfect. It does the job.
      
   
                                   
YSL FOUNDATION no.60 | 30ml | £29.99

For the nights out I like putting some of this bad boy. I don't really have bad skin or don't need full coverage foundations, this light to medium foundation is perfect for hot days.

                                   
Maybelline collosal / water proof | £7.19 each
Benefit they're real! | freebie from magazine | full size £18.00 | Benefit
Mascaras are an essential for summer as I don't wear much on my face. I am in love with the benefit mascara and I will purchase this in full size when I'm back in London.

    
                                   

AA COMBINATION SKIN PRIMER | Sephora | about £4.00
I wasn't a fan of primers before, but this really changed the way my make up looks. It mattyfies my skin and makes it seem much more flawless and smooth.
