New footwear? OH YURH!

Hello lovelies! Long time no posts again, I know but I have been reading every comment and replying to you guys so I'm happy :) I hope you all had a great Christmas & received many presents! I didn't get much so my mum bought me a lot of sweet snacks my favourite at the moment is Ferrero Raffaello. It's a 'a coconut speciality with a coconut cream and a whole almond'. It' sooooooo nice but sooooo expensive! It is £4 for a box in Sainsbury's I believe. I don't know why it is so hard to find these in UK. I use to eat these all the time when I was younger and mum would always hide it somewhere in the cupboard. But being the witty Linh, would always find it and munch on it in the corner and then mum come and SLAPS. I don't know how many times I have done this but I know that it was many and the outcome was always the same. Yeah that's how much I love those.

Ok enough of me talking about a luxury coconut speciality.

So onto what I have bought, a couple of weeks ago. I've been looking for a pair of nice light brown boots and a pair of black suede court shoes that weren't too high & now I have finally found them! YAYYY! :)

These boots were from New Look for £25 but since I had a student discount, I got them for £22.50 =)

The black court shoes are from H&M and were only £14.99! I felt like going back and getting another pair just in case this gets ruined because me being me, I know I don't last long with shoes. But I decided not to, WHYY? Anyways all I know is that I love them and they'll go really well with a tulip skirt and a nice top/shirt teamed up with a blazer or cardigan. Still on a hunt to get those.

Ohh and I finally tried wearing false eyelashes! They're weren't so comfortable though, so I gotta find a different pair but here's my attempt:

The band is glitter one so it's not very natural T_T but they were the only nice criss-cross ones. Btw these were from my prom LOL only wore them once until now.

I thought I would do a photo with my teeth showing since I love teeth but somehow it doesn't suit my face. It makes it appear too wide so that's why I normally don't do it. But I will try to now if I can get a good angle LOL.

Oh and the jumper is from JD £34.99 but I bought it last year so they have new designs now. It's funny how I buy certain clothes and never wear them until next year. But at least I do end up wearing it! XD~

Before I end this post I just gotta say that I am loving this make-up remover:

Botanics Soothing Eye Make-up Remover
It's takes off my make-up much faster than my old Shiseido make-up remover which costed me like £16.50 =_= when this was £1.98! I think the normal price is £2.99 but it was £1 off on sale :D

It's so gentle on the eyes as well! The green bit is the oil which takes off the last traces of mascara gunk and the white solution is what soothes the eye area so no irritation at all! Ladies get this please, so affordable and so effective. You will never have to buy the Lancome Bi-facils anymore!

Woo so that finishes my post on what I have bought weeks ago lol. Stay tuned for boxing day haul. I didn't buy much but I hope it's enough to tune you in XD didn't buy any clothes which was such a shame =_= so all I bought was cosmetics! LOL crazy me.

I hope you've all been well <3

(Gawd I rambled too much in this post, please do forgive me >_<)

New skincare & OOTD

I finally decided to try a new skincare regime, but before I show you that, here's what I been using before:

Sorry, the photo is a bit blurry but you get the idea :D
~ Neutrogena Spot Stress Control Daily Scrub
~ Tea Tree Sensitive Cleansing Lotion
~ Tea Tree Blended Oil
~ Daytime Moisturiser: Boots Botanics Oil Free Moisuriser for Sensitive Skin
~ Nightime Moisturiser: Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting Night Cream for Blemish Prone Skin
~ Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll-On
~ Blistex Relief Cream

This is one of those moisturisers that feel like a primer O_O believe it or not. But you got to leave it for a while for it to absorb into your skin otherwise it will come off like rubber when you apply your foundation. Overall I think it's ok though, the only thing why I would not buy it again is because I need a moisturiser that helps to minimise breakouts otherwise I would still be repurchasing this. OHHH! And this is very inexpensive too, I think it was around £3-£4 :)

This is my first ever night cream and it definately didn't dissapoint me! It is not heavy like most night creams feel like. It absorbs really fast and the texture of it is very silky. 'Contains purifying extracts to guard against the bacteria that causes blemishes'. Also oil free and non pore blocking. Woo! What more could you ask for? I will definately be using this when my skin is drier and needs more moisture. I love the packaging, very organic indeed. Also around £3-£4.

Now onto my new skincare routine:

Pretty much the same except for:
~ Freederm Exfoliating Facial Wash
~ Freederm Zone Balancing Moisturiser
~ Freederm Spot Treatment

I swear Freederm stuff works great! The products have been specially formulated to combat spots. I have been eyeing this for quite a longgggggggggg time now and the day has finally come for me to OWN it :D

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and I must say, my skin has pretty much improved. Not dramatically but better than I expected. I still get one or two odd spots which always annoy me but hey it's better than having 4567890876 slammed on your face right? Ok I know I'm exaggerating there but you get the what I mean :P

I really like this exfoliating wash. The beads are very tiny caompared to most exfoliators which I really like because I don't feel like it's too harsh on my skin. The consistency is sort of gel/lotion type and goes on very smoothly. The minute I wash it off, I feel like my face is really clean and doesn't contain any left residue. Definately did not break me out (well I wouldn't expect to, since it's not suppose to).
Price Tag: around £5

OHH EMM GEE! Yeah you probably guessed, I love this. Well you're right! This is the only spot treatment I've seen that contains Nicotinamide, which is a substance that helps to reduce the redness of the spots and inflammation. So true and works wonders. The next morning I wake up, I notice that the size of the spot has reduces and there was no more redness :D Weepee! This does not mean that I don't love my Tea Tree Oil any more because I still do! I use it when I have mild acne but I use the Freederm one for moderate :)
Price Tag: around £5

OMG this stuff is amazing too! The texture, when I put it on my face it feels like lotion/cream because it goes on white and does not give a matte finish. Really need to blend this stuff in. Can be quite sticky too but it doesn't bother me. Even if I use foundation over this, it will not make the foundation any different from before or cakey. And this really helps to minimise future spots from appearing. Of course there's always going to be an odd spot but better than ... yeah you know :D
Price Tag: around £5

Freederm

So that's pretty much my old and new everyday skincare :)

Now onto an outfit that I wore a couple of days ago.

These definately do hurt my feet >.< got to get them cushion things :)

~ Aviators - H&M £4.99
~ Scarf - George at Asdas £2.50
~ Cardi Jumper - River Island £20 (sale, originally £35)
~ Plain White Shirt - Primark £2.50
~ Jeans - Miss Sixty £70
~ White Belt - New Look £5
~ Ankle Boots - River Island £40 (sale, originally £80)

I dislike my phone very much, it takes very poor quality photos. I will have to use it for now until I can get a digital camera >.<

And the school look :D I tried to make my hair a bit wavy so that it doesn't look too flat but I still haven't mastered my skills using the straighteners that's why it looks kinda dodgey >.< Ohh and if you are wondering why the other hair side is shorter than the other is because I use to have short hair where one side was longer than the other O_O. Wow I think that sentence is confusing but I hope that you get what I mean. So yeah haven't got a haircut since then so it's like this for now. Waiting for it to grow longer. Come on hair! :D

I know people say that eyebrows should not be 'twins' but 'sisters'. Mine are not even 'sisters', they're like 'friends' or 'strangers'! >.<
