Simple Skincare | Brand Focus

Hello everyone and welcome to another brand focus, this one is going to be based around simple skincare. I am a firm lover of all simple skincare and I'm going to give you an overview of all the products I own. Simple products are highly affordable and it is available at a range of different stores. It is one of the cult drugstore favourite skincare ranges for bloggers and many other people.  It is one of few skincare brands that offer no added chemicals to their products and that is why they are aimed at sensitive skin.

The first product I own is the Simple Brightening Eye Cream, this product is from the radiance range simple does. This is the only product from that range I have currently tried, however I'm not to keen on this product. I don't notice it to do anything major to my under eye area, it doesn't really brighten them but it does add simmer which really casts of in the light. For that reason I never wear it in the day as I don't like to look like I've put full on glitter under my eyes. However it does soothe your eye area and reduce puffiness.

The next products are all from the Kind To Skin Range by Simple which has to be my favourite. The first product I have is the Simple Deep Cleansing Face Mask. This is a cream based mask so aswell as being deep cleaning it also offers moisture to your skin. It doesn't really set onto your face, you just leave it for 10 minutes and rinse. I love how this mask leaves my skin feeling soft because of the moisture but I can feel that it has also deep cleaned my pores.

Next I have the Simple Soothing Facial Toner. I am a firm believer in following up cleansing with toning and this is the current toner I always reach for and I have gone through numerous bottles of it! It really does soothe your skin and helps get rid of any residue left by the cleanser. I don't have a bad word to say against it.

The Simple Kind to Eyes Nourishing Eye Makeup Remover is the best eye makeup remover I've tried. It doesn't irritate my eyes and it does a really good job at removing all traces of makeup even waterproof mascara. The fact that it's cream formula also means that you don't have to rub at your eyes as much, which can help reduce dark circles.

My all time favourite moisturizer (considering I've only ever used two different ones) is the Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer. It is great for all year round as it's not too heavy for in the summer, but it still really moisturizes your skin throughout the winter months. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasing and skins into the skin almost immediately.

Overall I would highly recommend Simple as a skincare brand to anyone, their products are amazing quality and offer so many benefits for the skin. I would recommend Simple if you are just branching out into skincare as they offer everything you will need at affordable prices. I hope you enjoyed this post. What are your favourite Simple products?

What's in my bag?

Hello everyone and after doing the 'what's in my travel makeup bag' I thought I would do a what's in my bag as we all like to look whats in other peoples bags.

I only usually carry a small bag around with me with my necessities in, but when I go to Liverpool or London I will take a bigger bag so I can more things I may need. The bag here is from Next and was in the sale for just £14! The things I can never leave the house without are my purse and my phone of course (for constantly checking Instagram and Twitter) I then keep my makeup bag for touch ups, to see what's in my makeup bag click here. I next have some chewing gum, because I have a fear of having bad breath! My everyday scent which is the Hollister spray in Cresent Bay, it smells amazing I take that with me to top up throughout the day. I have an Eos lip balm in sweet mint to keep my lips moisturized; a soap and glory hand sanitiser; hair grips, to pull my hair out of my face; some Paracetamol for emergencies; my keys with my amazing deathly hallows keyring and finally this gorgeous pocket mirror I use for touch ups from the lovely Rainy Day Designs*. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. Have you got anything interesting in your bag?

Fresh Faced Makeup

Hello everyone, it feels like forever since I posted a makeup routine. So today I thought I would do a Spring look. In the Spring and Summer time I don't like wearing to much makeup as, I want a fresh faced look not a full face of makeup look, so I generally keep it simple. Of course you can change this to fit how you like it too look, but this is just the current makeup I have been loving to wear recently.

I first start off with concealer, in the Spring and Summer I don't like wearing foundation or bb cream personally as it tends to wear off easier and it just feels heavy on my skin. So instead I like to just use concealer on any areas that I need it, so under my eyes and on blemishes. The concealer I'm using is the Maybelline Fit Me and to blend it out I use the Real Techniques 'Detailer Brush'.

To get rid of excess shine on my face and set my concealer in place, I then powder my skin using the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I apply this in my T-zone to get rid of oil but to keep my face still looking dewy and not overly powdery for that I use the Ecotools Powder Brush.

I will next move onto brows, I have really been into filling them in recently. Before filling them in I brush through them using a spooly. To fill them in I use the Natural Collection eye shadow Duo in 'Mocha/Latte' I take the dark brown shad and using my Ecotools 'Flat Liner' Brush, I fill them in to the thickness I want. I then brush though then again to get rid of excess product and to soften them up a bit. To keep them in place all day I use a clear mascara, this is the 17 clear definition mascara.

I don't tend to do a lot to my eyes in the S/S months. I usually grab a cream eye shadow, my favourite to use is the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Barely Branded'. It really brightens up your eyes and I love the brightened eye look right now and it's really on trend!

Leading on from the brightened eyes I then like to highlight my inner corner of my eyes using the Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Milk', this again really brightens you eyes and makes them appear more rounded.

Next I move onto my favourite bit: mascara. Here I am using the Clinique Optimal Impact Mascara. It is great at both lengthening and thickening.

I next line my waterline with this Rimmel Scandel Eyes in 'Nude' which really makes your eyes pop.

Finally I apply a lip product. Recently I have been loving nude pink lipsticks, I have been wearing The Mac lipstick in creme cup which I have reviewed here. Its a perfect pink shade and will go with every skin tone.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
