Spring Haul☀🐤

Yay it's finally easter half term! Me and Abbie have been a little bit lazy on the blogging but thats only due to our exams coming up we have finally found some free time today to upload some posts and we are sorry about that we just have revision as when we get back after 2 weeks off we are straight into exam time! Anyway I wanted to do a spring haul on what I brought from Primark, Topshop and Forever 21 it's not much but I loved the things I brought and I thought they were lovely! I did nearly end up buying a £90 coat from Zara but I only had £50 so I got out of that one quick but I think it might be a cheeky purchase very soon......




Primark:
So the Primark I went to was the section in Selfridges which is good because It's all organised which is good and I found some lovely stuff. The first thing i brought was this lovely pink gingham fabric blazer with pink polka dots with a white background on the inside it's such a nice colour and it goes with a lot of things in my opinion which is good it also went with my JuJu Jellies and my white Leigh jeans from Topshop. The blazer was on £19 which is good as in Topshop and Zara they are more expensive.

White Jeans and Pink JuJu Jellies

Pattern on inside and outside

The last thing I brought from Primark was just a pastel yellow blouse which has tiny little detailed daises on the collar area and it was only £10 and I thought I would be able to wear it to my Grandmars on easter sunday with some nice jeans or something however the only little problem with it is that its a very baggy size 6 top and Im not a big fan of oversized clothing just as it makes me feel a little chubby but hey it was nice and I wanted it!

Forever 21:
I only got a few stuff out of Forever 21 I managed to find some lovely bralettes one lacy and one a crochet one both baby pink and they are lovely and I managed to find a cream top with lace detail on which has a drop down back which allows you to put a bralette underneath and for you still to be able to see it and I have fell in love with these 3 pieces of clothing and they will defiantly be going on holiday with me! 

£7.25

£5.65

£8.25

£8.25

Also from Forever 21 when I was in the que I spotted these fantastic sun glasses which I have been looking for the perfect pair and also found a cute little pink floral hair brush which Is the cutest thing ever even though it will not go through my hair as its curly but hey I brought it to just put in my bag just incase of an emergency.

£4.90

£3.15

Topshop:
Next is Topshop I didn't buy much as Topshop seem to have run out of size 6 in everything:( which is sad even online they have no size 6's in things I want so I just had a little look around and found a crop top for the summer some small hoop earrings and some cute little midi rings! The crop top I brought is a lovely coral colour and I'm sure its going to look lovely in the summer with a tan I also brought it as I can wear it with my Topshop Joni jeans and it won't show much skin which is always good we don't want to be showing too much off! The hoops I brought are just small gold hoops and the 2 midi rings I brought are just delicate with a small clear diamond.

The picture makes this top look horrible but i swear its nice on!

And thats all from me:) I hope you like it me and Abbie will be doing posts when we have free time or a break from revision but after may and the first and second week of June are over we will be back doing posts nearly everyday.... Okay that was a bit dramatic but there will be more when we finish our exams.

Skincare products/routine ♡

Today Iv decided to do a post that I wanted to do for a while but my skin care routine is ever changing! So I decided to just show you the products I use now or have for a while and tell you how/when I use them. I have very spot prone, sensitive, sometimes oily, sometimes very dry skin and I have tried just about every product going and this is what is working for me at the moment.  

Face Wash

First of is face wash. For a while I used the Simple spotless skin triple action face wash (Right). I remember thinking it was good but for some reason I stopped using it and swapped to the Simple refreshing facial wash gel (left). I recently found the triple action one and went back to it and now I know why I stopped, it gave me even more sports than normal (which is a lot!) but I have read reviews that say it is really good so maybe its just my skin type but it might work for some people. So now I have gone back to the refreshing face wash gel and I'm loving it.  

Facial Toner

When I have been in the shower I like to use a facial toner. These are my 2 favourites, Simple soothing facial toner (Left) and Clean & Clear deep cleansing lotion (Right). I use the Simple toner when I go in the shower in the morning because it is very simple (No surprise there Abbie) and light so you can then apply makeup after moisturizer after where as the Clean & Clear one really makes you feel like you've really given your skin a  deep clean and you know you have definitely gotten all your make up off and you're ready for bed! I just use them by putting a small amount onto a cotton pad gently wipe it over your face going over areas with spots last so you don't spread the germs from them onto the rest of your face. I have only been using the Clean & Clear lotion recently but it does claim to prevent spots so fingers crossed!

Moisturiser

I have 2 moisturizers as well. The first I use just in a morning before make up, the Simple hydrating light moisturiser (Right) and at night once I have removed my makeup I use the the Clean & Clear dual action moisturiser (Left). Both of these are really good and I really recommend them. The simple one is good for under make up because its very light so when you've put makeup on it doesn't feel like you've 'caked' it on! I haven't been using the Clean & Clear one long like the deep cleansing lotion but so far so good and this also claims to prevent spots so again, fingers crossed!

Spot Treatment

I have tried just about every spot treatment going and these are the 3 that I have found work the best. I have had the Clean & Clear advantage spot treatment gel (left) for a long time now and find that it works really well but my skin does kind of get used to it and it stops working, but its great when it does work. I also got a gel called Epiduo (right) from my doctor when I went there about my skin which also works well but is VERY strong and contains some form of bleach which means you have to be careful to keep it away from your hair and it also takes the skin off if you use it too much but if you only use a few times it works well. I'm not sure if you can buy this from a shop but its worth asking a pharmacist or doctor about. Lastly is Sudocrem (middle). This simplest of things that works so well! Sudocrem is cheep and works just as well as many spot treatments so definitely worth trying before you splash out on an expensive product.  

Face Wipes

I use the Simple cleansing facial wipes. They are really good at removing makeup and are super soft. I also like the blue packet of these which I don't have at the minute but they are really nice on the skin, they just don't remove makeup (especially eye makeup) very well. 

Cleansing Pads

I forgot to include these on the main picture but they are essential in my skin care routine! They are the Superdrug deep action pore cleansing pads. They remove any last bits of makeup that are left on the skin and leave the skin feeling very refreshed and clean. I have tried a few different brands of these but have found the Superdrug own brand ones the best!

I don't know when we will next post after today because we will be spending our 2 week holiday either revising or at school but hopefully you wont have to wait too long!
