Midweek Beauty Routine

Wednesday, 17 July 2013

Wednesday is the new Sunday - well beauty wise anyway! Over the last few weeks I have replaced my usual Sunday beauty routine to a Wednesday, I feel like a mid-week beauty top-up is just what I need. With the heat turnt up in London, this post is very much catered towards combating warm-weather woes...

Face - After a sweaty tube journey home the first thing I do is grab my simple make- up wipes to get what's left of my make-up off my face. I look to my Honey and Oat 3-in-1 face mask from The Body Shop to cleanse, polish and moisturise my face. I finish off with my Claudalie Vinosource S.0.S thirst quenching serum that restores any moisture lost when sitting in an air-conned office all day!

Skincare - For those of us who are prone to a bit of eczema/ dry-skin the Summer can be somewhat of a stressful time. I can't power through the day without lathering on Lush Dream Cream and with an oatmilk base it instantly cools down hot & itchy skin. But if things get really bad (sounds super dramatic!) then slap on some Itch Relief Cream that will work up to 8 hours.

Hair -  Boots Build Up Removal Expert aka one of the most coveted own-brand Boots products! I can understand why as it does a good job of getting rid of any product build up - I don't use that many hair products but after using this once a week my hair always feels light, fluffy and squeaky clean. I picked up this Vatika Coconut Oil hair treatment whilst in ASDA (finding beauty gems whilst doing the daily food shop is where it's at!) that claims to thicken and volumise your hair - for £3.49 I had to give it a go to see if it actually worked and I will be putting a full review of this up soon....

Nails - Some colours are just made for Summer and "Orange, it's obvious" from Essie just fits the bill.

  2. I used to have a spray-on coconut oil from Superdrug which smelt amazing. I haven't seen it in a while and now I use one in a pump bottle before I go to bed - I rub it into my ends, tie my hair in a bun and then in the morning I have lovely soft waves. x
