Pamper Evening Products

The following products are what I like to use on a 'pamper evening' and I know people who would read this would probably like to have little pamper evenings where you just relax and replenish your skin. So these are just some products I like to use.

First I use the Simple cleaning facial wipes to remove my facial makeup, I bought these an uncountable amount of times and love them, I have incredibly sensitive skin so I have to be really careful with certain products i put on my face and I've never had a simple product break me out so I love the brand. Also i don't like to use these to remove my eye makeup, this is because I find its too harsh on your eyes, and we don't want to be loosing a load of eye lashes!

Instead to remove my eye makeup I use the L'Oreal Paris Purifying Micellar Solution. I saw this being recommended by Fleur (at FluerDeForce on youtube) and she said it was the closest thing to Bioderma she's found, and I would say I agree but I've never tried Bioderma, I find it very hard to find in the UK, I think you could probably get it online but I tried this and really like it, you can use this on your whole face but I prefer to use this only on my eyes.

Next I like to have a bath, and I like to go all out with music, candles lit, a magazine and a bath bomb. I recently bought this one in a shop local to me called 'Chickadee' its a cute little shop with lots of little home wear bits, and they recently just started doing bath bombs so I decided to purchase one this one is in the scent 'very berry' its smells lovely! Its a very autumn winter scent and I cant wait to try it.

When I come out of the bath the first thing I like to do is moisturize my body. I've been loving this scent for autumn it's the cocoa radiant scent and smells of cocoa, its quite a spicy scent and I don't normally like this for in the mornings, its definitely more of a evening smell moisturizer  But I love Vaseline products for my lips, so when I saw this I thought i should give it a try, and its amazing it goes on evenly and doesn't feel greasy when you put it on, what I also love about this is that the moisture in the product lasts for a long time on your skin, it just makes it feel lovely and hydrated and refreshed.

After being in the bath, I then put TRESemme's split remedy into my hair, and I really do love this product, I don't actually know how but it really does help getting rid of split ends. It also makes then ends of my hair feel lovely and soft. I pump around 2/3 pumps into my hand and run it through the ends of my hair, with this I like to almost stick split ends back together by spreading the product down the ends of my hair. 

Then as every girl needs on a pamper night I follow up with a face mask, I currently love the Superdrug's own brand called simply pure, I love this one for what it does to my skin, it just makes it look so much healthier after, this one is also easy to tell when the products fully dry as it goes on green and dries white. However I also love Superdrug's exfoliating mask in the scent 'summerfruits' this is quite a summery scent but its the best smelling face mask iIve ever tried, i could literally eat it, I wouldn't say this mask has as much of a effect as the simply pure mask but still does a great job.

While my mask is drying I normally like to read blogs, or watch a youtube video for a while depending on the mask you've used you could be waiting a while. I normally wait for around 20 minutes or until I cant move my face anymore. 

I then rinse off the mask and use my favorite ever product this is what I would call the simplest version of a clarisonic, its just that you massage it into your skin manually, this is the best product I've bought and I hardly ever get spots any more this picks up any remaining dirt from your face and really just cleanses your skin, I would highly recommend this to anyone because its defiantly worth paying for.

Next I just wipe across this cleansing lotion by clean and clear, I like to do this using the extra large cotton pads because I find they last so much longer and i only need one for my whole face, and there not any more expensive than what I was paying for with the smaller sized ones.

Finally to moistuize I use Superdrug's simply pure face cream just to lock in any moisture over night and keep my skin lovely and hydrated.

Sorry this post was really long! Let me know in the comments below what you like to use on pamper evenings.

Makeup tag!

We found this tag online and decided to do it, hopefully you will learn some more about us from this :)

How old were you when you started wearing makeup?

Alanah | Probably about 12 but it was only a little bit like mascara and concealer, but a full face around 14 - 15 maybe

Sarah | I started when i first went to secondary school so about 12, but only lip gloss and mascara, I didn't start wearing a full face until around the same as Alanah like 14-15

Who taught you to apply makeup?

Alanah | I mainly taught myself, and I used videos on Youtube of beauty gurus for things like eye shadow and blending tips

Sarah | I taught myself really but through trial and error and if the way someone else would apply a product didn't work for me, i'd change it so i could apply products well but easily, and i love watching beauty gurus on Youtube, *cough* Zoella, *cough cough* Tanya Burr..

What's your favorite eye makeup look to wear?

Alanah | Usually just a smokey eye, I usually use either greys + blacks or bronzes, golds + browns.  Sometimes I will add some dark purple or mossy green type color (If i feel like it).  Then I just do eyeliner all around my eye with a small flick

Sarah | I love eye shadows, its a way of bringing more colour to your face, my favorites would be bronze, cream, or pale pink with a liquid liner to make my eyelashes seam thicker.

What's your favorite makeup brand?

Alanah | I like different brands for different products but my favourites are; Benefit, Mac, Revlon and Rimmel probably.  Although I love loads more too!

Sarah | Like Alanah, it depends on the product itself, my top products would be; Benfit, No7, Mac, Bare Minerals, and Rimmel 

Do you wear foundation on a daily basis?

Alanah | Not everyday, sometimes I just wear concealer and powder and if my skin looks alright then I will just leave the foundation

Sarah | Foundation often breaks me out if i wear it too often, so i only wear it on special occasions like party's, or family events

Have you ever worn false eyelashes?
Alanah | Only at my prom I wore fake ones on the end of my eyelashes, otherwise no

Sarah | Just at prom, and i loved them they made my eyes look so much bigger, aha!

What makeup do you wear everyday?

Alanah | Quite a bit, mainly what I am wearing in this minus the foundation. http://alarahblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/fotd-daily-makeup.html 

Sarah | Yes, but not a full face, you can see what i normally wear here, but the eye shadow might be different and not with the foundation: http://alarahblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/fotd.html

Do you prefer high end brands or drugstore?

Alanah | A mixture really, it depends what the product is but the drugstore can have some reeeally good products!

Sarah | I'm not  someone who buys a product over one that's just as good because its high end, it depends on how good the product is on me, however I am a real bargain hunter so if there's a really good drugstore product, I'll easily buy it over the high end equivalent

What color are your eyes?

Alanah | Hazel

Sarah | Brown, but I've always wanted blue eyes:(

What color of eyeshadows make your eyes pop?

Alanah | I think purples and dark mossy greens

Sarah | I love wearing browns but it doesn't make my eyes pop, apparently grey's and purples do, i should wear them more often

Do you use makeup brushes? What brand?

Alanah | Yeah, loads of different brands - I like the sephora's own make brushes, but I can't get them in England :(

Sarah | I do, my favorite ones are the 'Real Techniques' brushes by Samantha Chapman, you can find them online or in Boots

Do you prefer lipstick, lipgloss, or neither?
Alanah | If i had to have one then lip gloss, but I do like wearing them both together really

Sarah | If i had to choose I'd say lipstick because I've always loves anything colourful, like nail varnish and eye shadows. But i do still love lip gloss!

What's 1 makeup product you can't live without?
Alanah | Probably mascara because I have quite small eyes and they make them look bigger, or concealer or powder, that's a tricky one! Oh or lip gloss I love lip gloss

Sarah | Defiantly concealer to hide my horrible under eye circles! *cry*

Why do you wear makeup? 
Alanah | Because I feel more confident with it on, and without it i look about 10

Sarah | Wearing makeup to me is like a hobby, I love applying it and changing up looks and I find the more I apply it the better I get

Glitter or no glitter? 

Alanah | A bit but I prefer a matte bronzer, I like some glitter on my eyes though - and sometimes in blush

Sarah | Every girl loves a bit of glitter! But don't over do it or you'll look like Robert Patterson in Twilight!

What is one makeup trend you never understood?
Alanah | Um, foundation on your lips or when people wore lip liner round the edge of their lips but didn't fill them in, that looks weird

Sarah | When girls have huge, super filled in eyebrows, they look like slugs on your forehead!

Sponge or brush for applying foundation?
Alanah | Definitely a brush

Sarah | Depends on your skin type, a brush blends product better into by skin than a sponge

Pencil, gel or liquid eyeliner?
Alanah | Pencil, I can't use the others it's so annoying

Sarah | I find gel looks neater on the eye, but I am normally rushing in the morning and don't have the time or patience to use it, so I use a liner

Finally, a tip you wish everyone knew:

Alanah | Maybe to wear a face primer because it actually does make a lot of difference, it makes all my makeup stay on longer and go on smoother

Sarah | When wearing foundation and concealer, apply the foundation first, because foundation has a consistency of cover up in it, you end up putting on more product than you need with concealer as well, so put your foundation on first and if you can still see a pimple or scar then just cover it up.

Alanah & Sarah
