My Skin Care Routine

Working with skin means you need to have good skin and to get this I have taken O COSMEDICS and placed it in my bathroom. 

O is a cosmedical range made up of the most purest medical grade ingredients to ensure it immitates the skins natural makeup to be the best it can be. 

My skin type is oily in my t-zone but normal everywhere else, with a few breakouts particularly on my forehead. Now when I say oily, I don't mean a shine through my makeup throughout the day everyone gets that! That's 100% natural oils, I mean oily as in I wake up with a shine. Don't be mislead by the term. 

That being said the products I use for my skin include- 
Gentle Anti-Oxidant Cleanser- A gentle daily facial cleanser with powerful antioxidants. Suitable for all skin types including reactive and rosacea skins. This leaves the skin super clean without stripping natural oils and hydrated. It also removes makeup- perfect! 
Exfoliating Cleanser- Made up of four exfoliating particles, cranberry seeds, jojoba beads, diatomaceous earth and hydrated silicone crystals to offer the skin an invigorating, deep cleansing experience. Use 2-3 times a week.
Potent Clearing Serum- This can be used as a spot or all over treatment for blemishes and/or acne scars on the face OR body! Personally, I apply this to my t-zone, forehead and if I get that stubborn blemish some where else on my face. Apply 1 pump as needed prior to moisturiser. 
Rebalancing Cream- This is the ideal moisturiser for an oily skin showing signs of congestion, breakout or excess sebum production. This has really helped my skin and every morning I see less and less oil. Personally, I apply half a pump all over my skin however you can apply a full pump day and night! 
Mineral Pro SPF30 Tint- This is a must have product, I have one in my handbag, car and bathroom. It protects against UV Rays and can be used as a tinted moisturiser or primer for your foundation. 

Overall, I've seen a major improvement in my skin and I cannot wait to add more into my skin care routine. 

Let me know what your skin care must haves are below!

I hope you're all having a lovely day or night wherever you are and I'll be blogging to you soon. x

My Perfume Collection

Every morning I wake up, get dressed, then walk over to my bed side table to where my beloved perfumes sit waiting to be chosen and sprayed. 


Personally, I'm a huge perfume lover, I love the link between a scent and a memory. The sudden happiness you feel when you spray that perfume and that memory comes rushing back into your head as if you're right back in that moment. 
Christian Dior once said 'A women's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting does' which I really do believe. 


Marc Jacobs- Daisy Eau So Fresh- Fruitier than the original daisy. Top notes include- Raspberry, Grapefruit, Pear. Mid- Violets, Wild Rose, Apple Blossom. Dry Base- Musk, Cedarwood, Plum.
Molinard- Vanille Patchouli Eau De Toilette- This was bought when I went to the Molinard Perfumary in France, it's 100% true vanilla. As you can see I'm down to the last drop, I think a trip to France is in order!
Juicy Couture- Viva La Juicy- My newest scent added to the collection as a gift to myself for getting a job that I've wanted for ages. Top notes- Wild Berries and Juicy Mandarin. Mid- Honeysuckle, Gardenia and Jasmine. Base- Amber, Caramel, Vanilla, Sandalwood and Praline. 

Kim Kardashian-  Glam- A blend of Pink Watermelon, Sparkling Citrus, Juicy Berries, Star Jasmine, Rose Absolute ORPUR, Egyptian Tuberose, Orris Butter, Creamy Sandalwood and Sensual Musk.
Benefit- Something About Sofia- Definatly my favourite Benefit perfume! Top notes include- Mango and Freesia Mid- Lily, Jasmine and Peony Bottom Notes- White Caramel, Musk and Vanilla.
Lulu Castagnette- 00:10- This was given to me as a gift when I left to go on a 6 week holiday to the UK and Europe. I'm almost out now and unfortunately don't know where to repurchase it as it is French and can't find it anywhere online. This is a little bit more 'spicier' than any of my other perfumes. Top notes include-Liquorice, Hawthorn and Star Anise. Mid- Sambac Jasmine, Apple and Lily and Base- Almond, Vanilla and Milk.   

My last two are perfumes that are never really worn. I do like the scents, however because they're a little stronger than normal they do tend to give me a migraine. 
Chopard- Wish- Top notes include- Mandarin Orange, Yuzu, Pear and Red Currant. Mid- Cyclamen, Patchouli, Pimento and Lily. Base- Sandalwood, Vanilla, Caramel and Cedar.
Brittany Spears- Curious- This was my first ever perfume I got for my 14th birthday, yes I've kept it and yes, I hardly ever used it. But I did think I was super posh with it haha. Top notes includes Fresh Lotus, Pear and Magnolia. Mid-Tuberose, Jasmine and Pink Cyclamen. Base- is composed of Musk, Vanilla and Precious Woods.

So there we have it, that's my perfume collection. One day I hope to have every Jo Malone perfume on my side table *keeps dreaming*. Let me know below what your favourite perfume is, if love to hear! 

I hope you're all having a lovely day or night wherever you are and I'll be blogging to you soon.. Promise! x
