Hello people of the universe!
As much as I love putting stuff on my face, there is something really satisfying about taking it all off. I'm going to talk you through my evening skincare/makeup removal routine, hip hip horray for skincare?!! *awkward silence*.
So let's dive straight in!

So let's dive straight in!
1. Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm.
First I remove concealer and foundation using the Clinique - Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. Although it is pricey (£19.50! I know, WHAT!?!), this cleansing balm is by far my favourite that I have tried. It is oil based so might not be great for people with oily skin but for us, normal to reptile skin, it is fine.
It removes makeup EXTREMELY well which is great for people who wear very heavy makeup or stage makeup (and trust me, stage makeup is a pain in the A hole to remove!)

2. Simple - Kind to Eyes - Eye Makeup Remover
After that, I use the Simple Eye Makeup Remover to take off my eyes (not my actual eye balls!!)
This is so nice and and gentle for removing mascara! (Or 'eyelash gloop' as Carly calls it!) I have never used it to remove waterproof mascara so I can't tell you how efficient it is for removing that :( but what I can tell you is how amazing it is for panda eyes!
This product isn't perfect, you do have to do a bit of 'wiggling' to properly remove everything but eyeshadow wise, it is perfect and so cheap!!!

3. St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub.
Then I get into the shower and do, ya' know.. general shower things! Whilst in the shower (I feel like I've written shower to many times now, sorry!) I use the St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. And OH-SWEET-MARY-MOTHER-OF-JESUS! This smells like pure gold (metaphorically, it doesn't smell like metal!). It is honestly one of the best things my nose has had the pleasure to sniff! The scrub itself I love as much as it's scent. I use it 4-5 times a week and since using it regularly have seen vast improvements to my skin.
4. Simple - Kind to Skin - Facial Toner.
I use this product about once a week, the reason I use it so infrequently is because the name lies. It is not kind to skin! It makes my face feel really dry when used every night, which is really sad because my skin feels so refreshed and clarified immediately after use.
One night I made the mistake of using twice in one night. MAJORLY BAD DECISION! The next morning my skin was dry, red and really bumpy. Not good. At all!

5. Aveeno Moisturising Cream.
This moisturiser is a life saver and my absolute skincare staple!
It is so moisturising but doesn't make my face oily. It smells a bit like the Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter which I love!
I admit, £13.99 is steep for a moisturiser, but the quality/performance of this product makes it all worth it!

I hope this was helpful to you guys! I'm so sorry this post was so late, the internet was down and I only got off my train at 1:30 pm! It was a nightmare! Anyway, it is here now and I hope you enjoyed it.
