Hello Everyone,

I had a little brain block about what to post today and so I thought I would give you a little insight into what skincare I use in the evening. I wear quite a lot of make up as I like a full coverage finish because I haven't got the best skin, however I know it's important to make sure that I get rid of all my make up in the evening to take care of and hopefully improve my skin! Therefore I have come up with a little routine that I have gotten quite good at sticking too...

I begin by taking my make up off with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, previously I used Bioderma and I absolutely love that product, however when Garnier launched their own micellar water I thought I would give it a try and I'm really pleased with the way it gets my make up off and it's a lot easier to get hold of than Bioderma. Next I move on to cleansing my skin and for that I use the Clinique Take The Day off Cleansing Balm which I am really enjoying using; it doesn't break me out, doesn't have any funny smells and it thoroughly cleanses my skin. 

Then for toner I use the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion Micro-Exfoliant, wow that is a mouthful! I do like this product but I'm not sure if it makes any real difference to my skin in terms of whether it's any different to other toners. One thing I will say though is even though it could be considered fairly pricey, it does last a long time and so you definitely get your money's worth. I use another product from La Roche-Posay for my moisturiser; Effaclar Duo. There are so many rave reviews about this product and so I thought I would try it out for myself, so far I am enjoying using it and I do think my skin has improved however I think that is based on establishing a good routine in general, not just because of this product.

Finally I use the Ren Active 7 Eye Gel which is a lovely, cool gel consistency that feels really nice under my eyes. My skin under my eyes is quite dehydrated and I put this down to using the Indeed Labs Eysilix as the formula is quite drying so I stopped using it. I already had this Ren eye cream as I previously used it just in the mornings, however I am looking at trying a new eye cream by Kiehl's after Zoella included it in her monthly favourites. If I have a little spot that needs combating I put a little bit of Origins Super Spot Remover which kills redness and reduces the size of the spot. Last but not least I coat my lips in Nivea Lip Butter Caramel Cream as this is the best lip balm I've ever used and it smells delicious!

This is just a few little things I use alongside my routine. This toweling head band is from Primark and I use it to keep my hair back from my face, cotton pads are pretty self explanatory and then I just use face cloths from Primark because they do the job and are good value. The jar I keep my cotton pads in is from Matalan and the flower around the top is part of a set from The Range.

Sorry this has been a bit of a wordy post, but once I get started on something I can talk forever! I hope you have enjoyed this post and if anyone would like me to do any individual reviews on the products included then just let me know.
