A Painting

So this is a painting I was requested to do by my dad for his friend!

His name is Bernie! And he is a beautiful dog, very much a lap dog even if he is too big!

I just thought this would be something a little bit different to upload on here but it would give you a little more of an insight into my life and personality! This is also my hundredth post! Exciting!!

My Skincare Routine

My skincare routine!! Ooooo exciting! Or not really, it's pretty late and I think I am past that stage of being over tired haha! 

So I don't have a massive skincare routine like a lot of people. And it's pretty simple! 

Step 1: At night I remove all my make-up using Benefit's Remove it make-up remover, £16.50. This if fairly pricey in comparison to make-up wipes you can get for around £3. But I have found wipes very drying, and this has really kept my skin hydrated. Also it removes my make-up a lot better, as I use cotton pads and you can see less and less make-up on each pad you use. 

Step 2: I then move to my bathroom, rinsing my face with pretty warm water, ripping off a chunk of my Movis face soap from Lush, and rubbing this all over my face to cleanse and exfoliate, it isn't at all a harsh exfoliation as I have quite sensitive skin but I feel like my face is really clean afterwards!

Step 4:  I use Benefit's Triple Performing Face Emulsion with SPF15, £21.50. This is a great moisturiser for me and pretty much always keeps away the dry patches I have always suffered with! And it smells fresh too! 

Step 5: Around 3 to 4 times a week I use the Let the Good Times Roll Face and body Cleanser from Lush, this has a slightly grainy texture, smells of caramel and makes my skin so soft! I love it so much I have made my boyfriend try it!

Step 6: I then try to use a face mask once a week, I always go for a Lush one as they are so natural and pure, this months selection is Oatifix


As you can see I stick to Lush or Benefit products, I just feel like Lush is really natural and has always worked for my skin all over my body, and although Benefit is perfumed which can sometimes be a downfall with any product when you have sensitive skin Benefit's products are just really hydrating!

As much as I hate every sip I take I am also trying to drink a lot more water which will do wanders to your skin!

Have you tried any of these? Anything else you can recommend to me?
