Let me just start by saying that I am a makeup cleansing fanatic. If there is one thing I am proud of, it is my meticulous makeup taking offing!! No matter how late at night or how tired I am, I neva, eva, sleep with makeup on!I may forget to put on a nightcream, but never forget to wash all the makeup off before bed.

I am currently doing Vlogmas and Blogmas. I also have a full time job and loads of marking ( I am a teacher). I just posted a video with my November faves and thought I’d share it here.

I will briefly mention what I loved and if you want more details you can check out my video.

❤ ❤ ❤

L’oreal Extraordinary Cleansing Oil

I love using cleansing oils. I often double cleanse and one of the cleansers I use is an oil. The L’oreal oil leaves your skin nice and soft. It is not very difficult to rinse off. What I mean is that it does not leave a residue.

Rimmel Rose shine lippie

I love the stay matte liquid lipstick line. If you have not tried it, you really need to because it is very long lasting. I made a try on video and shared swatches. You can check that out here. If you love liquid lippies, check them out.

Aveeno

I ❤ Aveeno

I have the moisturising cream and the hand cream. Both are amazing If you have dry sensitive skin, you need to give these creams a try.

I had a cold and a flaky nose. I use the moisturiser on my nose and the cracked skin healed very quickly. Love, love, love.

Furry bag

I got a lovely furry bag from Top Shop. 20 pounds. So pretty and festive.

Jo Malone

Peony and Blush Suede Perfume. I love this scent. If you like rose and powdery  scents, you need to check this one out. It is lovely. A bit pricey, but lovely.

Leopard Print scarf

I love animal prints and especially leopard. This scarf is a blanket style scarf. Lovely and warm. It cost 20 pounds. I think it is an all time classic.

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to talk about my nighttime routine and all the products I have been using for the past few months.

Let me give you some context

I am 41 years old. I have sensitive skin and rosacea. I am not the most disciplined nighttime routiner, but I try my best.

Eyes

I use the advanced night repair eye cream from Estee Lauder. It is a medium type cream/ gel. It gets absorbed easily. It makes the skin around the eyes feel plump and smooth.

Serum

Exuviance Vespera

Very hydrating. It feels like an oil and you can feel your skin nice and soft the next day. This is good for fine lines.

Clinique moisture surge

I use this when my skin feels very dry. It is a gel like consistency and i have repurchased this one loads of times!!!

Sanctuary reverse sleep  beauty mask

Once a week I wear this mask and go to sleep. The first time I tried it it stung and i was a bit skeptical. I gave it another shot and applied a thinner layer. I am a fan now. I really like it. It gets absorbed quickly and again leaves your skin feeling nice and soft.

Clinique all about the lips

This is good for fine lines and hydrating the lips. I have bought a couple of these as well.

Aveeno moisturising cream

If your skin is flaky or cracked, get this!!I ❤ it. It is always overlooked but it is an amazing affordable skin care product.

You can hear more about these products and my impressions by checking out my video on my YouTube channel.

Hi everyone!!

I thought I’d write a different post today and share an outfit of the day (OOTD) autumn/ fall edition. I got a really nice faux leather jacket and a pretty hot pink blouse from Marks and spencers. I ❤ shopping there because you can find sizes!!!

The jacket is nice and soft. It has loads of zippers and it looks trendy. The top has a very nice neck detail and the back is low cut as well.

The jacket comes in loads of colours, but I chose tan/ brown because I do not have a brown jacket. Price 39. 50. The blouse is a light textured material. It is great for work or even a casual night out. Price 35 pounds.

You can get the clothes (affiliate links) online.

Hi everyone!

I live in a furnished studio apartment and when I got my apartment, I was not sure I was going to stay in the UK. Turns out I am. Anyhow, due to the circumstances, I bought lots of trinkets and bits and bobs. I was on a budget. I decided to share everything I got, show you my studio apartment ,and tell you where I got everything from.

Most items are from Wilkos, Primark, TK Maxx and Poundland.

This is the video with the studio tour:

I found items similar to what I showed you and have linked them below (affiliate links).

Hi everyone!

I just shared a video where I talk about product empties. I find these videos quite interesting because you can actually give a full review of a product and  say if you will repurchase or not. I buy and use up a lot of products. I often use up products I don’t really like because I think to myself

I spent my dosh, I am gonna use you up

But sometimes there are products I cannot keep using and I just chuck em out!

So, in brief, what did I like?

* this part contains affiliate links

Clinique Moisture Surge

Already repurchased (get it here). It is the best for dry skin. Your skin immediately sucks it up. I love it!

Clinique Aromatics White

Already repurchased  (get the gift set here). I love this product! Everyone asks me what perfume I am wearing. I say it is the baby of Chanel No 5 and Talk Powder. So nice. Long lasting.

Bourjois Real Volume Mascara 

Already Repurchased (get it here). This is my fave mascara. It makes your lashes look long and black! It doesn’t make them look goopy (is that how you spell it?)

Burberry Eye Cntour

Used but ended up chucking half way through. It broke like after 3 times I used it 😦

Maybelline Setting Spray

Couldn’t chuck it fast enough!!! If you like polka dots and wanna look like a polka dot faced person, this is for you. Otherwise nope!

Now if you want details as to why these worked or did not work, check out my video 🙂 I babble on about them for a bit!!

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Hi everyone!!!
In Greece, Clinique has a loyalty club. I am a member of that club and gathered points and was sent the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Grandest Grape and Roomiest Rose. When I first got them I was like, OK, nice and chucked them in my makeup bag. Today, I will review them because I actually like the line!!

The colour
Grandest Grape: It is a semi to full opaque berry red but not in your face red. It is a bit glossy.

Roomiest Rose: It is a watermelon rose (dark rose red).

You can click on the links and check the other colours as well.
Long lasting?
They does not last all day, but they are quite long lasting. It leaves a stain on your lips.
Is it hydrating? Does it feel drying?
Yes, very. It feels like a lip balm. It feels great. It is very easy to apply. Soft.

Cost

About 18 pounds

Packaging
A thick pencil. The only thing I do not like about it is that you can not really sharpen the top of it.

Do you recommend it?

Yes!I ❤ them.
