Shona Fitzpatrick: Mini Pamper Evening

Every so often, it's good to treat yourself. Today was one of those days where I wanted to relax and, as I never usually get much time to pamper myself, (even just a basic skincare routine) I decided to give it a go today. It's nothing extravagant, there's no fancy face masks or miracle workers, just simple, easy-to-use products.

I know this is a pamper evening, but earlier in the day, I used the Witch Gentle Exfoliating Face Wash. I use this 2-3 times a week and it helps to keep my skin smooth and clear.

Now onto the actual evening. I first removed my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. This is a recent purchase and it works really well. It's light and non-existent on the skin. There's no residue and you don't feel a thing. I use this on a cotton pad all over my face. It's really inexpensive for the amount and is an apparent dupe for the Bioderma cleansing water.

To make sure there are no makeup traces left, I use my Simple Facial Wipes to get any leftover mascara/BB cream etc off. If I don't have much makeup on or I'm feeling lazy, I'll use these on their own.

Then I hopped in the shower and when I got out I was ready for... erm, more skincare.

I first moisturised my body with my The Body Shop Passion Fruit Body Butter (ooh, fancy.) This smells really good and is really moisturising. (Again, another recent purchase AND it was on sale for £5 from £13. Bargain :P)

I then exfoliated my lips with the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. This is awesome and I have a feeling I'll own the same tub for years, because you get sooo much product.

This photo sucks... (WHY DIDN'T I JUST ZOOM IN?-.-)

Next, I cleansed with my Simple Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser. This is really refreshing and helps to clean my skin further and remove even more excess makeup.

After cleansing comes moisturising and I used the Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser. If you have any recommendations for SUPER good moisturisers let me know. My skin is incredibly dry and I need a stronger one asap :S This one is ok, but I need something much richer.

I love a good hand cream and the Hand Food by Soap & Glory is awesome! I bought the mini to go in my bag, but I should probably get the full size for at home, haha.
