If you're as unorganised as me, you most likely wouldn't have finished; or even started, your Christmas shopping yet. You may not even know what to suggest for people buying gifts for you. So I've found a few beauty gifts for UNDER £10 to share with you, that will hopefully help you out!
I used shopstyle.co.uk to find all these gift ideas and decided to add the 'sale' tag, in order to find you some bargains. I absolutely love to use shopstyle to look for presents, as it gathers all products from lots of different stores/brands, and puts them in one place for you. Easy!

You're probably as surprised as I am to see a blog post uploaded by me.
Firstly I've named this #1 because I may do a blog series around this (Let me know your thoughts?).
Secondly, yes I've used a hash tag to mark a number, not to get likes on my instagrams, or retweets on my tweets.

Starting from the beginning (of October), I decided to quit college. After countless mornings, and nights of begrudgingly thinking of and travelling to and from college, to study four subjects I didn't know I wanted to pursue, I looked at my situation; and just said no. Regardless of knowing I "apparently" have a better chance in life if I further my education, I decided to do what makes me happy. College made me far from happy.
At first, I was labelling this time period in my life "An Early Gap Year", and was getting those family members (family members who, in the nicest possible way, like to think their opinion is valid in every situation) off of my back by telling them I'd return in a year. I got a reply of "you won't go back, we've seen it happen before". I then argued "I will, I want to." I've now decided I don't. If it made me super unhappy, like really low unhappy, then what makes me think it will be different next year? I now look at it like this - College isn't the be all and end all!
Personally, I feel like my High School emphasised the whole expectation of going to college, and then Uni thing a bit too much. They never touched on the complete Apprenticeship path, but rather skimmed over this, only 'helping' us on college applications. And that's now what I'm considering - an apprenticeship. I for one don't want to be at home 24/7 or stuck in a job I don't enjoy. In no way have I left my education as the past, with the idea to slack off.
I already hold a part time job, but am suppressing from finding a new full time one, or increasing my usual contracted hours.
Why? Because I want to know what I want to do, what is right for me, and what makes me happy.
I'm so so so sorry for not writing regularly or keeping up to date with the popular beauty and fashion posts. But, the L word's above that banner too y'know (Lifestlyle, not the other one), and I suppose this is what this post will fall under. I pinky promise once I get my inspiration back, I'll bombard you with my shoddy writing.
Thank you for staying with me. And you; do what makes you happy too!

For most of my teenage years, I was one of those girls who was clueless when it came to skin care. "A moisturiser is all you need" I told myself, but little did I know there was more to keeping your skin clean and healthy, especially when it comes to taking your make up off!
I used make up remover wipes ONLY, for a long time before I began using other make up removal products that were so much more beneficial; and I can definitely say my skin feels better for it. I admit... I'm lazy, even more so when it comes to removing make up in the evening. So as a girl who will use anything to save her time and effort, I constantly used my good old Simple Cleansing wipes. I'm not denying that they're good and they definitely do the job, but it's so much better for you skin if you use a toner as well as a cleanser. Using a cleansing wipe DOES NOT get rid of all of your make up, I should know! This means make up is still left behind, even after you think you got it all off from looking at the disgusting mix of colours smudged across the wipe you just used.
So after reading various blog posts on reviews of make up removal products, I decided to try out a whole new routine, and I'm glad I did!
As well as using products that tend to be easier, it's very important to use products that work well against the sensitivity and condition of your skin, as this will make the removal of make up much more pleasant. For example: a cleansing milk is much more suited to skin that is sensitive or irritated, rather than that of a face wash.
At the moment I'm using garnier products to remove my make up. This is the first time I've used them and bought them to try, purely because they were on offer (everyone does that right?) when I went on holiday. I use Kleenex facial cloths with all my make up remover products as they're super good! I literally use one cloth for all three products and that's enough! I managed to bag mine at a 99p store so I'd recommend looking in one before purchasing them from your fave drugstore.
Firstly I use the eye make up remover because I find this is more gentle on the eyes, compared to using a cleanser on them. It's also better at removing products like waterproof mascara and eye liner.
I then use a cleansing milk rather than a face wash, not just because I can't be bothered to go through the process of using a face wash, but mainly because it calms and soothes my skin, leaving it feeling fresh and fully cleansed. I find that most face washes that contain tea tree in some form tend to burn some areas of my face, so prefer to stray from these. After these steps, I use a toner to finally remove any products left on, or in my skin, like foundation or concealer. As well as removing the final bits of hidden product, a toner also evens out skin tone, reduces redness, shrinks and tightens pores, refreshes, and some also act as a moisturiser.
These garnier products are enriched with grape extract which smells really fresh and clean, and leaves your skin feeling like this too! All three products feel really light on the skin, whilst still being able to remove any make up on or in your skin.
These products have definitely improved the condition of my skin, and I notice a difference as soon as I stop using them. I would recommend using this make up removal routine if you don't already, whether you use garnier products or not!
What products do you use to remove your makeup? Do the quick and easy make up remover wipes work best for you?
