My Night Time Routine!

Hello everyone! Tonight I will be discussing my night time routine, so stay tuned! In advance I'd just like to apologize for the photo quality - my camera is dead and I do not know where the charger is! So, unfortunately poor lighting + my cell phone means low quality photos. :(

The very first thing I do is get in my pjs! Tonight I'm wearing these cute Winnie the Pooh pajama bottoms and one of my boyfriends tees.

Next I like to light a candle, and I'm currently loving sweeter vanilla scents for the evenings. This is the Paddywax Vanilla + Oakmoss candle that I purchased at Urban Outfitters!

Then I will brush my teeth with Crest 3D White toothpaste, for a nice whitened smile :)

First up after brushing my teeth is skin care and hair!

I like using scrubs at night, because I find I wake up with much healthier looking skin in the morning. I'm currently using this Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliant Cleanser.

I will the go in with the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment if I have any blemishes that need zapping.

Then I will use an eye cream, and am currently using this sample of Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. 

Next up is my Hydraluron serum. (Who woulda guessed?!)

Then I'll go in with a face cream, and am currently using this sample of Ole Henrikson Express The Truth cream.

I forgot to picture it in the beginning, but before cleansing my face I will go in with this Rimmel London Just Let It Go Gentle Eye Makeup Remover to remove the makeup from my eyes and the rest of my face. 

If I'm having a lazy night and it's gotten a bit too late and I feel like I can't possibly stand up for long enough to complete my whole routine, I will simply go in with these Korres Milk Proteins Cleansing & Makeup Removing Wipes for Face and Eyes. 

Next I spritz a little bit of this Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo in my roots to lessen the buildup of oil I get in my hair over night!

Next I choose my outfit for the next day and write a to-do list of what I need to get done the next day.

Then I will take my pills (not pictured for privacy reasons) and put on some of this Body Shop Almond Hand & Nail Cream and then some of the Maybelline Baby Lips to moisturize my lips over night. 

The last thing I will do is snuggle in bed and either watch Youtube videos, browse Bloglovin, or read a bit of the novel I am reading (which is currently Bridget Jones' Diary).

And that's all! Hope you enjoyed!

My Morning Routine!

Hello everyone! First off, I'm really quite tired at it's almost 1am, so I apologize if my words get jumbled! Anyways, I've seen quite a few bloggers and youtubers going through their morning and night time routines, so I thought I'd join in the fun! So, today I will be blogging about my morning routine. I will not be reviewing products, but more of less just showing you which ones I am currently using! Tomorrow will be my night time routine! (However, my camera battery died, and neither my boyfriend nor I know where the charger is, so I may need to take cell phone pictures for tomorrow!)

So, here we go - My Morning Routine.

I shower every second morning, and this was shower day. I am currently using the TRESemme 24 HR Body shampoo and conditioner, the Soap & Glory Foam Call Body Wash, and the Sephora brand Purifying Cleansing Gel. On mornings that I don't shower, I usually just use the cleanser!

Next I used my Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter sample that I got from my most recent Sephora haul, which I will hopefully be reviewing in the new future!

I then got dressed! Top: Garage; Sweater: Topshop; Leggings: Lululemon.

Then it's time to brush my teeth! I'm currently using the Crest 3D white collection, because I was not the best tooth brusher when I was younger, so my teeth have a very slight yellow tinge that I'm yearning to get rid of!

Next onto skin care! All of the items are below :)

Currently using the Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 for Combination/Oily skin for toner!

Another Clinique product I am using is this Clinique All About Eyes Serum, which has a roller ball and is meant to de-puff the under eye area.

I've been having crazy acne over the past few months, and this Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment is my current zit zapper which I only use over my pimples or 'spots'. 

And, as my last post mentions, I've been using the Hydraluron serum to keep my skin nice and moist!

I have been using the Ole Henrikson Express The Truth cream that I got 3 packets of as samples from my last Sephora haul as well.

To give my skin some time to soak in the moisturizer, I applied an anti-frizz product, then blow dried my hair.

I have been using the John Frieda Frizz-Ease formula which (spoiler alert) I absolutely love!

I then applied a bit of Julep Sea Salt Spray, some Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo, and Aussie Sprunch hair spray to the bottom half of my hair and scrunched my hair upwards, as I was planning on having very volumized waves in my hair today.

Then I started my Infiniti hair wand, and put on my pink fly away tamer lululemon headband to keep my hair out of my face for makeup application!

My eyebrows needed some fixing, so I used a comb to comb my eyebrows upwards and then trim any long hairs, and plucked out stray hairs.
BROW GROOMING TIP: If you're afraid of over plucking or you're fairly new to grooming your eyebrows, use a white eyeliner pencil to trace where you would like your eyebrows to be. I find it helps me achieve the exact shape I want! However, not everyone is perfect - your eyebrows will probably more often than not be identical, but don't fret! - that's what an eyebrow pencil is for!
I then wanted to switch up my foundation because I've been using the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation for quite awhile now, so I switched to the Maybelline Fit Me foundation in 115.
Then I covered up my under eye circles and primed my lids with the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant.
To cover my acne/acne scars I used this Covergirl Smoothers Concealer in 725 Illuminator.
I used the Covergirl Clean Oil Control pressed powder in 510 Classic Ivory.
I then used my Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in 027 Sun Dance to contour my face.

For blush I used my Annabelle blush "48". And to be honest, I have no idea what this body illuminator is - I probably got it as a child. However, it acts as the perfect highlighter on my face right now. I then used this Avon shadow in Gold Frost. Next I used the NYC Waterproof eyeliner pencil in 932 Dark Brown. And then I lined my water line with the Rimmel London Soft Kohl pencil in 071 Pure White. Next I curled my lashes and applied my Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express mascara. And then finally I filled in my brows with the Annabelle Eyebrow Pencil in 010 Taupe. 

Finally, I applied my Body Shop Vanilla Body Mist and my Secret Outlast deodorant.

And there you have it! My full morning routine! Hope you enjoyed it!

Just Another Hydraluron Review

Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing one of my all time favourite skin care products - Hydraluron! If you haven't heard of it, please take a minute to read this post, because this product will honestly change your skin for the better.

As you can see, the packaging is very simple, and cute, and has a white tube with a pink nozzle and a clear lid. Hydraluron is a serum that contains Hyaluronic Acid that helps your skin retain up to 1000 times its weight in water. You apply it before your regular moisturizer (I use it at night and in the morning), and it helps your skin retain the moisturizer and keep your skin healthy and nourished.

As you can see, Hydraluron is a clear serum that soaks right into your skin and is not visible once it's applied. You need very little of the product to cover your entire face, and usually take about 30 secs or less to soak into your face. When I am applying the product, it feels like putting water on your face, and once it soaks in, there is no residue, no oil, you can't feel the product at all. And as soon as it soaks in your automatically see a difference - your skin looks so much more radiant and healthy and refreshed.

I was turned off by the price when I first bought it, as it is a bit pricy for the size of the tube. However, the tube lasts a long time because you need to use so very little of the product everytime. As well, I find I have no problem spending an extra bit of money for a product that will do wonders for your skin.You definitely get what you paid for. You can purchase it for $42.00 here on Amazon. For more info on the product, visit the indeed labs site here.

What are your thoughts on Hydraluron? Do you have any other serum recommendations?
