Clinque dramatically different moisturising lotion+

Hey guys, so I think I have waited far to long to do this post but here it goes, I started using this moisturiser back in October 2013 but I have never blogged about it. I do also use the three step kit that clinque do but sometimes I switch and change to my liz earle cleanser and eye potion etc. Although I always stick to this moisturiser. 




Like any moisturiser it will work wonders if you use it everyday. I do still now and again get dry patches if I haven't been sticking to my daily skincare routine but this sorts any dry bits out wonderful. It is extra moist so it soaks in straight away and makes them disappear. I often start blending my make-up in while it is still soaking in just so my makeup blends a bit easier over the dry patches. 


Some moisturisers that I have used in the past for dry skin are very thick and rich although this one is much more running which I really like, I have a Clinque overnight cream which is much more thicker that I use on a night! That is also great. 

You can get this in different bottles some are just an average bottle or you can get the one with the pump which I did get for the first time. It is great and I feel like I use less. 


This is a little swatch of it, it comes out yellow as you can see but it is an all round really good moisturiser. 
I would definitly recommend this product if you do have dry skin and Clinque is such a good company. If you don't have dry skin Clinque have a test you can complete which will give you the best moisturiser for your skin! Which i think it amazing and all you do is answer a few questions about your skin :) 

Now depending on the size of the bottle the prize does vary. 
This one was £29.50 but it ranges from £9.50 

Thanks for reading

BOOTS 3 for 2! Mascara and concealer

Hey guys, who didn't get down to boots this weekend for the 3for2! I love when boots do this cause i always explore new products! I only just got these yesterday but I wanted to put it up and show you guys and then post reviews on them over the next few weeks! 





So I got two concealers and a mascara,



This concealer is from seventeen and it is a miracle matte concealer stick which aims to last shine free all day. Although I don't normally buy stick concealers this one caught my eye and it looked like a handy one to carry around in my bag to top up while I am out. This was in the colour extra fair.

£3.99



Next is this beautiful mascara when I saw it i really wanted to give it ago. Lately all my mascaras are coming off throughout the day or running down my face and the only one that doesn't is the i'm real by benefit but i wanted to try and find a cheaper one. This is from Maybelline and it is called 'Big eyes volume express' and this in waterproof just to see if it will stay on my eyes better.   


£8.99 




Lastly another concealer which I also have high hopes for, this is the loreal paris le correcleur perfect match. I really hope this blends in nicely and suits my skin. This is in the colour 02 which was the lightest shade. 

£6.99


Thanks for reading and get yourselves down to boots!

Trip to beamish


Hey guys this is more of a picture type post, just wanted to post about my day at beamish. For those of you who have never heard of this place before it is basically a museum in which they have reacted all parts of ww2 life and basically the 'olden days'. From the sweet shop to the pits they have everything there. 

I love this place so much because it is like my childhood museum my nana and grandad would take me here all the time in the school holidays and I loved it. If you have never been then it is definitely worth a little visit. 


 This is the start of the town centre... 




my friends been weirdos ;)
