Hello lovelies! 

I've changed up my evening skin care quite a bit recently and I've been loving it. My skin has broke out quite badly recently so I've bought some new stuff to put on my face at the end of the day. I thought I'd share some of my old faves and some new bits that I've been loving.

This is the Nivea Double Effects Eye Make up Remover, I use this first to take off my eye make up with a cotton pad. I've found this remover really effective, it doesn't take much rubbing to get everything off and it doesn't sting my eyes, which is something I have a big problem with when it comes to taking off eye make up. I find it really hard to get my hands on one that doesn't leave my eyes really sore and red after I've used it. However this one is really good and I think I've found a keeper!

This is The Body Shop Tea Tree 3 in 1 Wash Scrub Mask. I only bought this quite recently so obviously I can't say much on the long term effects it's had on my skin, but its been great to take off my make up at the end of the day. It gets right in there to deeply cleanse the skin and get all the make up off your face, my skin feels really cleansed and fresh after using this. Its got these little exfoliating beads in which you can really work into your skin if you want to use it as a scrub or just do what I do 

which is gently massage it into wet skin and rinse away when I feel I've got all the make up off. 

After I've cleansed I then use my The Body Shop Drops Of Youth Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask. The results of this product are AMAZING I'm not exaggerating, after a nights sleep with a good layer of this on, my skin looks noticeably fresher, lighter, less red and just more hydrated. It also comes in this massive tub so it lasts ages, I've had mine since late last year I think, I'm only half way through and I've used it pretty much every night. When I don't use this I see such a difference. I have to say I don't think this product will be for everyone. It's got a jelly like consistency and it feels very thick, a mixture between a gel and a cream. When you first put this on your face it doesn't sink in very much, you can really feel it on your skin and it is quite heavy and sticky. If you can get past the thickness of this on your face you will love it, but if you can't handle really thick creams then you probably won't.

Today I'm going to do a quick post on my updated skin care. 

So I use the Liz Earle skin care range and I love it because It has loads of natural ingredients and all of the products are really gentle on your skin. Also they all smell amazing, very light and floral.

Firstly I squeeze a bit of the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser on to my fingers and just massage it into my skin. Then I use the muslin cloth with warm water to wipe it all away. It gets rid of all my make up (I don't really use it for my eye make up, I take this off just with cotton pads and eye make up remover) and all the grease and dirt from the day and leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft. I have the 100ml bottle which you can get from the website for £13.25, there are other sizes as well so a little one if you just want to try it or a 200ml one.

I then pour a few drops of the Instant Boost Skin Tonic onto a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face. This gets rid of any excess dirt that I missed cleansing. I love this as it feels really fresh on your skin when you wipe it on and it also lightly moisturises. This is again £13.25 for the 200ml bottle, this is the biggest one.

Finally I smooth over a couple of pumps of the Skin Repair Light Moisturiser. At first I thought I didn't like this because I felt like it left my skin a bit greasy, like it didn't sink in enough to my skin. But After using it for a week, my skin got used to it and now it feels really soft and I love it. It's just a light moisturiser, and it feels lovely and smooth. I wouldn't recommend this to people with very oily skin however because it might feel a little too greasy for you. There is specially made moisturisers for different skin types but this one is for oily/combination skin and it is £19.25 for a 50ml pump, it's quite pricey but it's lasted me a while.

So overall I love this range. The only bad points I'd say about it are, the cleanser doesn't last that long. I've had it since August and it's run out already, that's only like 5 months and considering the 200ml pump is £26 something, I don't think I'll get this again. It was really good and made my skin look and feel really clear, but I know there are cheaper ones out there that will do the same. 

I also don't think I would get the moisturiser again as well for the same reason. It's a bit too pricey to keep buying, however this still has quite a bit left so it should last a good few more months. 

 The toner I may buy again because it's not too bad for £13.25 and I think I still have half a bottle of this left so it's worth that money I think.

I got all of these in a set together with a skin tint foundation which is pretty good. It all came as a deal with the foundation free for £43 I think which works out a bit cheaper than buying them all separately. 

Thank you for reading, let me know what you think of these products.

Love Marie
