What I like to put on my face!

After posting a little note about getting a clarisonic today one of you asked me what I like to use it with so I thought I'd do a post showing you what skincare I use and what I recommend. :) F.Y.I my skin type is oily/combination.

note: I know this post contains a lot of products from two particular brands, I'm not famous enough to be sponsored or anything, they're just brands that I like.

Make up remover...

To remove my face makeup I use the No7 beautiful skin cleansing water. I just pump some onto a cotton pad and it wipes all my face makeup off! I then use the No7 beautiful skin eye make up remover to remove my eye make up.

Face wash... 

If I have just taken my makeup off I like to use the soap and glory peaches and clean face wash but in the morning I like to use the clinique liquid facial soap for oily combination skin. (I use the clinique 3 step skincare system) I've already tried the clinique face wash with my clarisonic and I love it! I'm yet to try the soap and glory one though, I'm going to try it tonight! I don't think I've ever been excited to wash my face before! 

Toner... 

I then use the second step in the clinique skincare system, the clarifying lotion in number 3. 

Magical serums and things... 

Now these are two products that I have fallen in love with! I have quite large pores across the tops of my cheeks and my nose so I'm always trying different products to help shrink them. I haven't been very successful in doing so if I'm honest, until now.. I use the No7 beautiful skin pore refining serum. THIS STUFF IS MAGIC IN A BOTTLE. If I'm about to apply makeup I then apply the No7 T-zone rescue to my forehead and nose area. I'm always looking for products to help control my oily t-zone and this one really does work! 

Moisturiser..

I use the final step in the clinique skincare system, the dramatically different moisturising gel. If you haven't tried this stuff I highly recommend it! and also, where have you been all this time?! 

I hope this all helps!

Products I couldn't live without (at this moment in time anyway..)

Listed are some of the products that I feel I couldn't live without. Yes, I think I would actually die if it weren't for these products due to sheer shock of seeing my face without them. I say that they are my favourites at this current moment as like most girls, I try new products, fall in and out of love with certain products and then there's just some that I never change. That's what the majority of these products are though, things I rarely or never change. So if you want to take a little peep into my makeup bag keep reading :)

Disclaimer: I am aware that there are an awful lot of products listed here but I can't help it! I'm a makeup addict! I'm sorry :( Also, I do apologise if some items look a little grubby, after all I do actually use them, they're not just for show so that is to be expected.

First of all, my all time favourite moisturiser. I've tried many different brands, types, textures etc etc and every time I come back to this good old faithful, clinique's dramatically different moisturising gel. I don't really know what to say about it if I'm honest, I love it so much I can't even think of any words to describe it. Basically it does its job without leaving you shiny or sticky, just nice soft skin :) The only downside being that it's a little pricey..

The next product I'm going to mention is a MASSIVE cult product, I'll give you a clue, it's a concealer.. Yep, it's the collection 2000 (or collection as they are now known as) lasting perfection concealer. Now I don't really need to go into too much detail about this concealer as most of you have probably already heard every blogger, youtuber and their dog rave about it. All in all it's cheap and cover literally anything! It's amazing. I use it in the shade "light 2" for anyone that might be wondering. (If that's the sort of thing people think about. I don't know)

Another thing I think I would die if I couldn't use it is eyeliner. Now, I have two types of eyeliner that keep me from having a panic attack every morning when I see my naked face. One is a liquid eyeliner that I personally believe doesn't receive enough credit and isn't nearly talked about enough as it should be. Maybelline's "liner express" liquid liner is by far THE best liquid eyeliner I have ever come across. Now, I will be honest, I found this by complete accident in boots one day and I most definitely was drawn to it because of the packaging. (I was looking for a felt tip liner and I thought this was one until I opened it and I liked the look of it so I bought it.) It stays put all day and I like the applicator. It's almost like a felt tip and it's quite thick, which I like as it makes for easy application. (which is does say on the packaging.)
