- Drugstore Skincare Routine

Today I thought I'd share with you some of the skincare products I've been using recently. All of these products are from 'drugstore' brands and are really affordable but I've found that they seem to be doing the job. Everyone's skin is different and your skin may react differently to a product than mine does. My skin is generally quite clear although can be a bit oily. I do get the odd breakout every now and then but fortunately I have never had any major issues such as acne. If you do, these products may not be effective for you and you may need products created specifically for that.

St Ive's - Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub

Garnier - Pure Active Daily Energising Gel Wash

Clean & Clear - Oil Free Dual Action Moisturiser 

Dirty Works - Vitamin C Brightening Mask

Simple - Kind to Eyes Eye Make-up Remover

Lush - Grease Lightning Spot Treatment

- Autumn Pamper Night

I love pamper nights no matter what time of year it is but knowing it's a cold Autumn night outside seems to make a night in even more cosy & enjoyable. I thought I'd show you some products I enjoy using for a relaxing evening. Top it off with a hot chocolate, snacks and a cheesy chick flick for the ideal pamper night in.

Bath & Shower

Radox Berry Burst Shower Cream

St Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub

Soap & Glory The Daily Soothe Bath Float

Skincare

Montagne Jeunesse Nut Oil Face Mask

Dove Nourishing Body Cream

Lips

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm - Hibiscus

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm - Dark Chocolate & Mint

Okay, there's really no need for two lip balms but I just love both so why not include them? I love mint lip products so the Lush lip scrub and the Palmer's lip balm go really well together. The Burt's Bees lip balm is tinted it gives a lovely 'your lips but better' colour (although I admit it's a bit unnecessary for a pamper night).

Nails

Lush  Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

Rimmel London Finishing Touch Ultra Shine Top Coat

Technic Nail Varnish - Mad Alice

Rimmel London Salon Pro - 402 Urban Purple

The Technic nail polish is gorgeous but (like most glitter polishes) needs another colour as a base coat. Urban Purple is a perfect Autumn shade so I used this and just added the glitter on my ring fingers.

And what's a relaxing evening without candles? I have no idea where any of these are from I just seem to have accumulated a massive candle collection over the last few years (trust me I have a lot more than this).

What are your favourite products for pampering yourself?
