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'! >.<

I am 17...

...TODAY! Yush Happy Birthday to me, got some notifications on facebook and in school too due to the enrolment day. Just staying in the same old school but planning to move to a better one after I finish my first year.

I am 17 yet I still feel like a child, don't worry I know when to act mature but I find it boring sometimes O_O

Anyways ...

For my birthday my friend got me like 3 O.P.I nail polishes, I was like O___O wows I didn't know she got me these, I thought it was the Hello Kitty bracelet >.< but she got me the lime colour (Hey! Get In Lime!) that I been eyeing for ages! As well as base coat and top coat! On top of that she made me a very cute card full of love, she knows I love the word 'cakey' 'cause I say it so much! Thank you huyenzyyy! <3

A couple of days ago she also did my nails! Only on one hand though, I don't know why but it was difficult to do it while sitting on the bed and no table =( but I think she did a great job!

 

 

Erm excuse my nails, they gone a bit yellow because I been wearing nail polish without a base coat =( but now that I have one, I won't have to worry about that!

I don't normally do nail art, I nearly always wear this colour:

O.P.I No Bees Please
I like it because it's subtle and suits my skintone =)

Erm FOTD I guess? Nothing much on my face though but I will list them anyways:

~ Revlon Colorstay Foundation (Combination/Oily Skin Sand Beige - HG STUFF!)
~ Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Black/Noir
~ Shiseido Mascara Base (HG STUFF)
~ Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara (HG STUFF)
~ Random brown eyeshadow on my eyebrows from a no7 palette O_O
~ Revlon Super Lustrust Lipgloss in Pink Crystals
~ Geo Angel Brown Circle Lenses

That's it really O_O Ohh and ermm what do you call it ... *think* OHH YEAH OOTD!

~ Satin teal blouse from New Look
~ Waistcoat from Next
~ Jeans from Miss Sixty
~ Necklace from New Look

By the way I wore this outfit with a pair of converses and aviators, though it does look nice with some nice black pumps or courts.

P.S. Please excuse my slipper on the floor, random sainsbury's bag, and my phone charger wire, this always happens =_= random thing popping into my pictures without me knowing until I USB my phone and see the pictures on the computer ¬¬

So that's it for today =D

Wait! No I gotta say this. I am having a dilemma. I want to switch to the new layout version of the blogspot but umm I like this one but then I want to have that followers gadget, how can I add it without having to upgrade to the new version T_T if anyone knows that would be great! <3
