Bed Time Routine: Beauty Products

Hello Everyone,
first of all I would like to apologize for not uploading my blog last week but I had a rather hectic weekend, my brother was moving out to University and we had to help him pack up all of his things. Sorry for my poor excuse but I am here now and ready to update!

I have been meaning to write this blog post for a while now but I haven't had the time so here it is!


1. First of all in my night routine take off all of my makeup, 

I Use Clarins Gentle eye make-up remover which is brilliant, especially for getting water-proof mascara off!
(as you can tell from out my window I took these pictures at night time)

2. To remove the rest of my make-up I use Clean And Clear's Deep Cleanser

3. the final cleansing stage in my routine I like to use L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cleansing Foam which is my all time favourite cleaner, I have used this for such a long time and it leaves my skin feeling lovely and clean after. 

4. Because I often get easily irritated eyes, before I go to bed I like to use Optrex's eye bath for irritated eyes, it really helps cool my eyes down and relax them, I can also recommend this product to people who suffer from hay fever (sorry its a bit late) because this is amazing for making your eyes feel re-vitalized. 


5. Body Shop, Aloe calming toner. 

6. Finally I like to moisturize my face using Lancome Hydra Zen, this is a really strong moisturizer and leaves your sking feeling lovely and soft for sleeping. 



After this I love a cup of Mango and Strawberry tea by Twining's which is delicious!

Night Night, lots of Love Ash xxx

The Fault In Our Stars

Hello everyone, so this week I have been ill. yep, the first week back to normal English weather and I am now stuck with a horrid cold. But every cloud has a silver lining right? I found myself pondering over what to do in my bed ridden state so I decided to read. 
You will have probably guessed from the title that the book I read was The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. 




This book is amazing, I have never really been into reading that much but after my friends had told me about it and raved about TFIOS I decided to read it since I had nothing better to do other than sneeze a lot. 
I could not put this book down, the story really effected me in many ways, I laughed and I cried and reading this book really was a roller coaster. 

The Fault In Our Stars is about a young girl, Hazel, who has been diagnosed with cancer for years now but every thing changes when she meets Augustus Waters. 
Sorry that small snippet gives nothing away but if you want to know what happens you shall have to read it. 

I feel like the book really related to me as I have known many people with cancer before and reading this book reminded me of those people in a good way that made me smile. I feel that the author, John Green, has created to very realistic characters that any reader could relate to though, not just people who have known cancer sufferers, the depth into Hazel's mind is so brilliant and you really get the sense you know her as a person. 


Sorry that this blog post is a little shorter than usual but I am going to start posting a picture of me or something I am doing or enjoying every Wednesday so all you readers can see what I am up to.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 


Lots of Love

No.7 CC Cream Review

Hello everyone, I can't believe its September already, this year has gone so fast already and August was definitely a busy month for me :) I hope you all had good Augusts too! Although one thing is that its starting to feel like Autumn again (fall for most people) so the sunny weather is slowly disappearing *sighs*.

Anyway, on to this weeks blog post, Last week I went out to buy some new foundation and came across No7's Youthful CC Cream, which is actually a new product by them.


I thought this product would be great for going back to school as its easy application and light to medium coverage which is all I really want for school. I applied the foundation all over my forehead and T-Zone using my Real Techniques expert face brush (which is fab) after using primer and I found the product to be good, I like that there is enough coverage to cover up an slight blemishes without having to use concealer and feels nice on your skin. After wearing the product for a day I noticed it had only worn of slightly which is brilliant! 

I found that after using it for a week, I have been having less break outs as its not clogging my pores which is another bonus! I would definitely recommend this product to younger readers who just want to wear a little amount of foundation to even their skin tone; this product does exactly that without looking like your wearing make-up.

Above are just a few snaps of the product and my favourite foundation brush!

Unfortunately that is all for this week, but I shall see you all next week. Sorry if you thought this was a bit of a short post but I wanted to post my views on this product, soon I will be posting another life update. 
 Leave your comments below with your opinions on this product and if I helped you which I hope I have. See you all soon.
Lots Of Love
