Evening Skincare Routine

Recently I posted my morning skincare routine, if you haven't read it, you can find it here. So, it's only fitting that I show you what products I am currently using at night. 

There are a couple of products that I use from my morning routine, but most are different.


Simple Cleansing Oil- This is my first cleanse if I'm wearing makeup, this budget friendly oil cleanser is a staple for me because it does such a great job at dissolving makeup.

Moreish Cream Cleanser- My go-to second cleanser, or first if I haven't worn makeup. Gentle and hydrating, yet cleanses my skin.

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA- I am currently using the Lactic Acid to try a different acid after finishing my Glycolic Toner. I am really enjoying it, the serum is helping to smooth my skin as it gently exfoliates. I haven't had any adverse reactions using this active.

The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane- I decided to give the retinoid a try before using a stronger retinol version. I've had no reactions to the retinoid, so am looking forward to trying something a little stronger. I am not sure that the retinoid is doing much for the appearance of my skin, but I am finding that my skin likes the hydration of squalane oil. 


John Plunkett Collagen Eye Lift- I use this eye cream in the morning also. As I stated in that post, this is not a favourite, but I'm happy to finish it.

Ciencia8 LipCorrect8- Also a product that is part of my morning skincare routine. I apply this serum around my lips and I am seeing a slight reduction in those barcode lines on my upper lip.

Rosewater- Before I apply facial oil and moisturiser, I like to give my skin a spritz of rosewater. It not only adds hydration, but I enjoy the smell, too. I've decanted into this spray bottle from a large 1 L bottle.

Meadowfoam Seed and Carrot Seed Oil- Also not in an original bottle is this mix of meadowfoam and carrot seed oil. I like to mix into a night cream to finish my routine with a hit of intense hydration.

Swisse Hibiscus Anti-Aging Night Cream- This is a rich moisturiser that does a good job of locking in hydration and mixed with an facial oil finishes my evening skincare routine nicely. I just wish it wasn't packaged in a jar.

      The John Plunkett eye cream hasn't done anything for my eye area, but glad to hear it's working for you, I wish it did for me

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
