New Skin Routine

So, i'm finally being grown-up and actually taking care of my skin properly and using fancy moisturiser regularly and everything! Mum got me the L'Oreal Triple Active Day Multi-Protection Moisturiser and also the L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover for Christmas and I've actually been using them properly for once in my more 'grown-up' years.

I never really bothered before now to use nice creams and removers because i'm always so knackered from being out and about on the farm and so on, so my face was lucky to get a quick smear of a baby wipe over it to get rid of make-up. I'm just lazy when it comes to this sort of thing! But now I have some nice quality products to use i'll definitely be making more of an effort.

L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover (Suitable for contact lense wearers)

£2.23

L'Oreal Triple Active Day Multi-Protection Moisturiser

£6.12

I must say, the Triple Active Day Moisturiser looks reem, smells reem, is reem. REEM! Haha! What a joker i am. But it is generally lovely and smells deelish. It's a light formula and soaks in quickly, leaving my skin feeling   as smooth as a new-born baby's!

As for the eye make-up remover, i'm very impressed as it near enough melts nearly all of my mascara and what-not off and doesn't irritate my eyes even though i'm a contact lense wearer. This was a big plus as I always get sore eyes after trying other products. 

I was so impressed with both of these products, that when i was in Sainsburys i thought "what the hell?" and decided to treat myself to the matching cleanser and toner from the same range.

L'Oreal Triple Active Re-Nourish Cleansing Milk

£2.72 instead of £4.08

L'Oreal Triple Active Re-Nourish Velvety Toner

£2.72 instead of £4.08

Yet again i was impressed! Lovely quality, removes all traces of make-up and leaves my skin feeling lush. I went for the 'Dry & Sensitive Skin' formula as some other products make my skin flair up and go bright red! It is not a pretty sight and feels horrible - i look like a lobster.

So, for the actual routine.

I start by just splashing some warm water on my face, then take a small amount of the Cleansing Milk in my hand and massage into my skin until my whole face is covered. 

After that, i take a cotton wool pad place a small amount of the Velvety toner onto it and then continue to remove the cleanser with it. Afterwards i splash my face with warm water again just to make sure all of the cleanser and toner has gone and then pat my face dry.

I then take the Triple Active Day moisturiser and apply all over my face (morning & evening). It soaks in so quickly!

All in all, i'm very impressed with all four products an would definitely recommend them! :o)

Much love!

This, that and winter sports.

So i'm driving my brother and i to young farmers winter sports on Sunday afternoon and we reach our destination only to find out that i'd got the wrong place and it was at another school about 20 minutes drive away. As you could imagine, i was not happy, and with only a quarter of tank of petrol i got somewhat irate. 

So off we trundle in my little blue Peugeot (who by the way, does not like going at any great speed as he starts to whistle and sound like he is about to explode) and arrived at the school at about 1.15pm. Baring in mind we were supposed to be there at 12pm, i got a little lost and took a bit of a detour which took about an hour....

Anyway! Enough of the journey. I'm told our club did well but we still haven't had the results so it hasn't been confirmed yet. We had 2 teams of 4 doing 'jump-rope' (in other words; skipping) and a team for indoor volleyball. I was on the girls skipping team and we had to do a proper little routine with a bit of dance - i use the word 'dance' very, very loosely - and music to go along with it. Well i can safely say it was an absolute scream! We did our routine to LMFAO - 'Sexy and i know it'. 

The boys on the other hand, wasn't so..........put together. Two of them dressed in a chicken suit and a horse suit and started free-styling half way through because they were trying to kill time. 

 Stopping at rude sign in true Young Farmers style.

(Oh yes, there is a road called Bell End!)

IN OTHER NEWS!

I have come across a lovely girlie who goes by the name of Olivia a.k.a 'Dolly Daydream' . Very small world, and you should go to her blog and follow away!

Candle-light dinner?

So it went quite well, apart from the ginormous mess I made of the kitchen....ANYWAY! The chocolate mousse looked yummy even though I did have to go through 12 eggs to get it right (I got the yolk in the white and it was not pretty, so I had throw it all up the garden and start again!)

As you can see, i'm not exactly an expert when it comes to preparing and cooking a meal (as seen with my brilliant carrot chopping skills - somewhat hap-hazard!) But slowly, it came together rather well. I managed not to cut myself or burn the the entire house down, and it has to be said, my spag-bol was rather yummy! (My little bro even said it was better than my Mum's - SCORE!!) Haha! 

So it was all going swimmingly until i got the chocolate mousse out of the fridge. This is where I let myself down. I got it out to find that is was just a wine glass full of chocolate slop. So i'm like, seriously OMGing because i whisk the double cream up and add some Dissorono (which was the yummiest bit about pudding by the way) then put a blob on each of the mousses, and what does it do? Start to sink. Just my luck! I think i'm going to need some serious lessons on chocolate mousse-making from Mummy dearest.

Well the Mr liked it! Haha!

Much love!

A Productive Friday off

So it's my day off from college today, which I get every Friday and it has been somewhat of a 'moochy' sort of day - the highlight of which was probably when I pootled up Sainsburys to buy milk and yeast for my mum and coming out having bought £14 worth of general crap.

Anyway! My nails are looking rather nice at the moment as they are false and I decided to give them a 'ring finger manicure' yesterday with some very girlie colours. It's rare that my nails ever look nice so I thought I would make the effort!
