Pamper Night with Daysie!

Hello you little stunners! I'm currently at Daysie's house down in Nottingham and we've decided we're going to have a little girly sleepover! It's not very often me and Daysie get to see each other in person, so I thought of making a post about this mini occasion, and telling you our pamper night routine! I brought my products, she had hers and we thought we'd combine, so here is our mini pamper night! Enjoy!
(Just a quick note: I forgot to bring my camera to her house which I am totally gutted about because this means I can't take as gooder pictures as I can for you and had to use my mobile, so I apologise but I hope you enjoy none the less!)


  • The first step for anything at night would be to tie back your silky locks to make sure no cleanser or moisturizer or face mask can find its way into your hair.
  • For a base cleanser, I used the Simple Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser. This is a very very recent purchase... like, same day purchase. But I love it anyway. Two squirts of this removes makeup and grease from your face, and leaves it feeling fresh and clean, at a very cheap price tag.
  • The next product I used was one of Daysie's, and it's the Clean and Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion, which is fab at getting off all the makeup (especially eye makeup) that the first cleanser may have missed.
  • Next was the Soap and Glory Self Heating No Clogs Allowed face mask, that we both left on for around 15-20 minutes (It was absolute blissss)
  • I next used the Soap and Glory Dr Spot cream around my blemishes and little spots and pimples that may have skipped onto my face, and let it soak in until there was nothing left. Beware-this can burn your skin if too much is applied, so don't be too generous.
  • Next was the Soap and Glory (are we seeing a theme here?) Puffy Eye cream which I dabbed under my eyes which is meant to relive puffiness and dark circles, I'm yet to see a difference but not done using it just yet :D (forgot to take a picture of this!! Poop!!)
  • The last facial product was No.7 Beautiful Skin moisturiser, which you apply to a face pad and rub everywhere until dry.
  • The last thing we used on our 'pamper night' was the Max Factor Glossfinity Nail polish, in the pink ad purple. These are amazing quality at a very cheap price and both highly recommend them!!!


So that's what we did on our mini pamper night! We also filmed many fake YouTube videos for practise, that we may put on in a few years as a laugh, but until then, not a soul will see them;)
Hope you enjoyed, byee!!

Lip Care!


This is going to sound really odd, but today, i thought i would share my knowledge with you about lips. Not many people class lips as an important part of their face, others do. Some people like to have plumper, more fuller lips, where some others couldn't care less. But whatever we do or don't do to our lips, we must look after them! Keeping lips hydrated could be as easy as applying lip balm, or as complex as going to the salon to get them professionally done, but personally, i think we should all make a little effort to give our lips some luxury. 


I have a friend who often visits Lush, and on her most recent visit, she brought a Lush Lip Scrub in the flavor 'Popcorn'. This is a little pot of exfoliater for your lips, which makes them soft and plum, and at the same time, tastes amazing.  As far as i'm aware, i think these might be a bit pricey, so maybe if you're on a budget, these aren't the best things for you, but i'm sure they are sold in many other stores as they are very very popular with everybody.



Like i said, keeping lips hydrated could be as simple as using lip balm, so i picked up the 'Burts Bee's Honey Lip Balm'. I know there's meant to be a mango flavour, but the shop i was in had run out, so i chose the honey one. It's not the nicest smell OR taste, and i suppose they are the main 2 factors when choosing a lip balm, but after a few minutes, your lips feel smooth and soft, and the taste goes quite quick, so really, it's just like any other lip balm. 
There isn't really a product for this next one, its more about controlling what we do. We all know that licking our lips can sometimes cool them down and moisten them up, but what we DON'T know is that our saliva can bring great damage to our lips. The saliva evaporates quickly, leaving them even dryer than before, meaning licking your lips has just achieved you nothing but damage. 

Drinking plenty of water will also help you and your lips stay hydrated and moist- moist lips means no licking them! Also, stay away from foods that leave salt or sugar on your lips. These aren't just bad for you, but you will be temped to lick them!

To exfoliate lips without a lip product, all you need to do is grab a toothbrush, and wet it slightly. Then gently rub the tooth brush over your lips like you would brush your teeth, this will rub off all the dead skin. If you have a spare tooth brush that you wont be using for your teeth, you could use petroleum jelly instead of water. 

If you can, try and breathe through your nose. I know quite a lot of people naturally already do this, but there are a certain amount of people (me included!) that find it difficult to breathe with their mouths closed. With your mouth open, air is going in and out of your mouth, making your lips dry up, making you want to lick them. 

Try not to use any flavored chap stick or lipstick in the healing process of chapped lips, because you will want to taste it. And whats the only way to taste your lips? That's right, licking them. DO NOT LICK YOUR LIPS.
