Night time beauty:)

So I'm going to show you my night time beauty regime. These are all products to reduce spots and oily skin. 
These are all the products. L-R; Khiel's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser, Proactiv 1 Renewing Cleanser, Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, Proactiv 2 Revitalising Toner & Proactiv 3 Repairing Treatment. The cloth is a Liz Earle one that comes with the products and the cotton balls are just ordinary.

First of all, I use the Khiel's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser.

I use about that much in the palm of my hand and it lathers up very quickly. You just massage it into your face and then rinse it off. It last for a very long time, so its worth it for only £15. I've had this for around two years, and I have more that 3/4 left of it.

Next I use Proactiv 1 Renewing Cleanser.


This has worked wonders on my skin. I will say, it can be rough and don't use it if you have very sensitive skin. I order mines from America, as it has benzoyl peroxide in it and the ones sold UK doesn't. That's the chemical that makes it more effective. But have a spare old towel to dry your hands and face, otherwise it will bleach a coloured one. (This applies for all proactiv products featured in this). You just rub into your face and rinse it off with warm water. Its about £40 off the Proactiv website for all three of them but I order mines from eBay for much less.

After that i use Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser.

The amount looks a bit weird in that photo, its only because I'm nearly at the end of the tube after a good 6 months. This feels lovely and smooth on your skin, and has a very nice smell to it. It recommends you use a hot cloth to wipe it off, and I thoroughly agree. It feels 100 times better. Its £14.75 for the same bottle that I have and a cloth from John Lewis, and if you do intend on buying it, definitely ask about other products as all my family use different types and they are all amazing!

Then I move onto Proactiv 2 Revitalising Toner.



This is so good. Again, you need to be careful about how sensitive your skin is. You just use a cotton ball to apply and then it just sinks into your face. I love the Proactiv stuff a lot, so I might be a bit biased, but I recommend it, definitely. I buy mines from ebay, so I can give you an exact price, but its a lot cheaper.

After that, the last thing I use is Proactiv 3 Repairing Treatment.


This is a very smooth, soft moisturiser. I use about that much on each affected area, soyou don't need to use loads at a time, it just depends how big the affected area is. Again, I buy this from ebay so I don't have an exact price. You just rub it gently into the areas, and it soaks in.


And that's my night time beauty regime! 


If you have any questions please just ask in the comments, or if you have any suggestions on my next tutorial!

So I've decided to finally do a beauty tutorial thing:). I don't really wear an awful lot of make up, but I rarely leave the house without it on.

So this is me, completely free of any makeup.
These are the products I use on a daily basis


 To start off with, I use Avon skin revival foundation, with calming effects. The one I have is nude, because I'm really, really pale.
It makes my cheeks seem a lot less red and hides any spots well. I don't use any blusher because I really don't suit it.

Next I pencil in my eyebrows, but barely cause they're already pretty thick and dark:). I use beauty uk's line & define eye pencil, but it doesnt say a colour.
(Sorry I love doing the eyebrow thing)
I find this to be a really good eyebrow pencil, it matches my normal eyebrows, and I struggle to find that.

I then use optrex rehydrating eye drops and icare brightening eye drops, as my eyes tend to go dry during the night and it makes them really itchy.
(These are really a personal thing, they work differently on other people.)

Next I use another Avon product, glimmerstick diamonds eyeliner.

I like how it gives a bit of a sparkle, but it smudges quite easily if you make a mistake:(.

I use maybelline falsies volume express waterproof mascara next.
I love, love, love this. It last really long and it is a spoon type brush so it is easy to apply.

Finally, I use Dior lip glow, colour reviver balm.

This has lasted me over a year, and I still have loads left. It feels like silk on your lips and tastes amazing.


So thats my daily routine. I look very bad in these photos, I had no idea how to act, but I hope you enjoyed this, please ask any questions in the comments and leave any suggestions!
