Skincare Routine: Summer 2014

Today I wanted to do my first skincare routine! For the majority of the year I have kind of normal to dry skin but in the summertime it does tend to become slightly more oily so I like to switch out skincare products for the summer so here are the products I've been using this summer.

Morning:
The first product I will use in the morning is the Clean & Clear Morning Energy Skin Brightening Daily Facial Wash. Some of you may remember I featured the matching moisturiser in an earlier post (which you can check out here) so as you can tell, this is one of my favourite skincare lines. This is just a really great cleanser that works amazingly for my skin. It smells amazing too - lemon and papaya!

After the face wash, I like to use the Simple Soothing Facial Toner. This states it contains chamomile and witch hazel, two amazing products for your skin to gently soothe skin, help tone and tighten pores. This is only really an essential to me in the summer as I don't find to be as effective in the winter when my skin is less oily.

The final product I use in the morning is the Garnier Moisture Match, this is another amazing product line with a number of different formulas to suit different skin types. Mine is in the formula for dull skin and I just really like this to use before applying my makeup.

Night: 
I like to keep my skincare routine really simple at night during the summer using only one product which is the Garnier Micellar Water. I can't actually rave about this product enough, it's the best skincare product I have ever used. It removes makeup and cleanses the skin in one step without rinsing, simply by just applying it with a cotton pad. Not only does it remove all makeup so easily (even waterproof mascara!) but it leaves your skin feeling so soft. It comes in a 400ml bottle which is significantly larger than most skincare products so it lasts for ages as well as being really cheap.

The last product I use is the Clean & Clear Morning Energy Shine Control Daily Facial Scrub - this is for people with oily skin as although it says it is gentle enough for everyday use, I prefer to only use this product around once or twice a week in the summer as that is what suits my skin type. I mainly use this product on days when the temperature has been a bit higher. It also has the most amazing citrus scent!

So that is my current skincare routine! All products are available at Boots. Thanks for reading!

10 Of My Favourite TV Shows

Hi guys, firstly I just wanted to apologise for the lack of posts lately, I thought that as it was summer I'd have more time to spend on my blog but I've been super busy. Anyway I'm back and today I wanted to do a bit of a different post and share with you, in my opinion, ten of the best TV shows. Most of these I watch on Netflix, anyone else share my love for Netflix?! Anyway, hope you maybe find some new TV shows to watch and if you have any favourite TV shows I haven't mentioned let me know in the comments!

10. Glee

I used to be obsessed with Glee although I will admit the earlier seasons were better.

9. Parks and Recreation

This is the latest TV show I am watching, so far I've only seen the first season and I believe they're now on the 6th season! It reminds me slightly of The Office (US version) but in my opinion it's funnier. It focuses on the main character of Leslie who works for the government in the Parks and Recreation department. It's absolutely hilarious and episodes are only 20 minutes long which I like.

8. Kate Plus 8/Jon & Kate Plus 8
I'm not a huge fan of reality TV but I will admit I love this show, it's probably not everyone's favourite but it might be to some of you!

7. The Fosters

I only started watching this recently and watched the entire first season in like five days. It's kind of a drama series but mixed in with a bit of comedy too, it's really great, and weird fact - Jennifer Lopez is one of the executive producers.

6. Friends

Who doesn't love Friends?! I don't think I know a single person who hasn't seen this show.

5. The Carrie Diaries

I think anyone here reading a beauty blog would love this TV show, it's just amazing. I've watched all of season one and I am waiting desperately for season two to be put on Netflix.

4. Pretty Little Liars

I was actually a little hesitant to watch this in the first place despite several people recommending it to me but eventually last summer I watched the first few episodes and quickly became hooked. It is definitely one of the most aggravating TV shows though..I just want to know who A is!!

3. Ugly Betty

I think this was the first ever TV show I was "obsessed" with, I must have seen every episode at least like six times now and I still love it just as much.

2. Modern Family
This is one of my favourites, it's the kind of show you don't necessarily have to watch in order (similar to Friends) and it's just so funny. I can't decide is Lily or Cameron is my favourite character.

1. Breaking Bad

This is undoubtedly the best TV show ever, especially in the latter seasons, you literally cannot stop watching. I would recommend this to everyone.

So they are my ten favourite TV shows...what are yours?
