I posted this post a few months ago about how I was changing my skincare routine quite drastically as my skin was terrible. Although it didn't look that bad with makeup on, to me I could see the spots and little bumps I had especially around my mouth and jaw! Anyway since then my skin has improved so much, its not perfect but its ten times better than it was before and so I thought I'd tell you guys my skincare routine, its going to have to be in two parts though as it'd be too long otherwise!

Garnier Soothing 2 in 1 Make-Up Remover

I remove my eye makeup using the Garnier 2 in 1 MakeUp Remover and it is seriously amazing!! It removes every last scrap of eye makeup and even does waterproof mascara easily. And the best thing is it doesn't leave an oily residue on the skin and my eyes feel soft and smooth after using this. A bargain at £2.99

REN ClearCalm Clarifying Clay Cleanser

REN are by far my favourite skincare brand, every single thing I've tried from them, I've absolutely loved! This cleanser is great for oily skin, it doesn't leave it feeling stripped or tight but just very clean and neutralised almost. Definitely worth the £18 it is.

Garnier Soothing Toner

The toner part of my routine is probably the one part I haven't really experimented much with. This toner is really nice and it leaves the skin feeling really clean. However I do plan to try the Clarins Exfoliating Toner and the Pixi Glow Tonic as I feel I need more from a toner than this gives. At the moment though this is fine for me.

Superdrug Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser

This is a really creamy cleanser that I tend to use in the morning to freshen my skin up. Its not at all greasy so its great for my oily skin. It leaves skin feeling super soft and I really enjoy using it.

I tried to keep this post as short as possible or else I'll be here all day! Part two will be up soon.

I cannot believe it is time for June favourites already, crazy how fast time goes!

Maybelline Super Stay Nail Polish in Divine Wine

I've been loving pink nail polishes lately and this is by far my favourite! A lovely deep pink colour with a really long lasting formula.

Collection Lasting Gel Colour in Coral Reef

Another pink toned nail polish, I never thought I'd ever like a coral nail polish but this one is gorgeous and I love the formula as well, definitely plan to pick some more shades up.

Mac Palette - Woodwinked, Satin Taupe, Mulch, Twinks

I go through phases of loving my Mac palette and then just not using it. This month I have been using it none stop, especially Woodwinked which is a really gorgeous gold shade that goes a deep bronze colour when blended out.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Buff

I would have thought that my Revlon ColorStay foundation would be too heavy for summer but it really is the only foundation that keeps oil at bay. I've loved mixing this with the Garnier BB Cream for Oily skin. The perfect summer combo for those with oily skin!

Barry M Eyeshadow in Shade 9

This is definitely a nighttime eyeshadow but it's a gorgeous shimmery dark gold colour. Really stunning!

Garnier Summer Body Tanning Lotion

I'm not big on fake tan but for summer I absolutely love this. I have the Deep Sunkissed shade and I just need two coats of this to get a lovely tan! I also love the smell, really reminds me of summer and holidays.

Marks and Spencer Limited Bronzer in Light

I've been loving using this bronzer this month, its not too orangey and just adds a really nice warmth to my face.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

After trying other moisturisers I just keep going back to this. Definitely a firm favourite of mine and its also the perfect makeup base!

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express in Waterproof Black

I'd forgotten how much I love this mascara. You only need a couple of coats to get full lashes and the waterproof formula really doesn't budge! Perfect for holidays!

I bet you guys know what I'm going to say but I CAN'T believe its the end of February!! How quickly has that gone, crazy! Anyway this is going to be a long one(I'll try and be brief) guys so get comfy aha:)

Mac Palette (Woodwinked, Mulch, Satin Taupe, Twinks)

I finally filled my Mac palette with the addition of Twinks. I really love this palette and I honestly can't wait to purchase another one and start filling that. My favourite one at the moment has to be Twinks, its such a lovely plumy brown that really brings out my hazel and green eyes!

Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This has reappeared into my daily routine. I just love this foundation, perfect for those with oily skin! I usually mix this with a BB cream to give a more natural coverage but I find if I apply the foundation with my hands and then use a buffing brush over the top, this gives a really flawless natural look.

Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten*

I honestly don't know why some people don't like this. Its a beautiful colour that I've loved wearing underneath my Mac eyeshadows, its texture is slightly different to other cream shadows but it blends really well and stays put all day!

MUA Blusher in Shade 6

A really lovely dusty pink blusher with a slight shimmer to it. I love this because its almost like a highlighter and blusher in one, perfect for the lazy like me.

Essie Nail Polish in Stylenomics

This is such a gorgeous dark nail polish. A very very dark petrol colour that is verging on being black, absolutely stunning and well worth a try if you like vampy polishes.

17 Eyeshadow Trio in 'In The Nude'

The brown eyeshadow out of this palette is stunning (you can see i've already made a dent in it), a lovely mid-brown with a slight satin finish. Really nice for those more natural days, just a sweep of this over the lids makes a subtle Olsen-esque smokey eye.

Soap & Glory 'The Righteous Butter'

This smells divine!! Very heavily scented but it amazing when slathered on after a shower.

Lush 'Mask of Magnaminty'

When I first bought this but I wasn't at all impressed, but thats probably because I was using it as a scrub. Once used properly as a face mask it is amazing. Clears my skin up completely when i have a breakout!

The Body Shop Shea Butter Shower Cream

This is a really creamy shower gel that I find extremely moisturising, and plus it smells amazingg! I don't shower without this now aha.

Garnier Soothing Eye Makeup Remover

I bought this up on a whim because I was in need of a new makeup remover. It removes every trace of eye makeup with minimal scrubbing. Seriously makes taking eye makeup off so easy!!

I hope that wasn't too long aha!

Now I know a lot of people were disappointed with the original Garnier BB Cream and I have to say because of the negative reviews I never got around to trying it so I really can't compare this with the original. I do however know that the formula has completely changed and after swatching both in the store, there is a huge difference and as far as the swatches go I prefer the new one:)

I'm sure a lot of you know by now that I'm a great fan of BB creams but what I really loved about this one was that it gave the consistency and feel of a BB cream yet left a really nice foundation finish. This BB cream has quite a runny consistency but I find this makes it glide on easier, it then soaks into the skin and leaves a matte, yet natural finish. It leaves a medium coverage but a light medium coverage (if that makes sense!) the coverage is medium but it has a light feel on the face. I love that this gives such a soft, smooth finish and so far it is my favourite BB cream (compared to the Maybelline DreamFresh and 17 BB cream). Best of all its oil-free and has SPF 20!! I think I'll defeinitely carry on using this into the winter because its quite a bit of coverage yet while still be natural.

If you hated the previous one, definitely give this one a go because it really is a lovely BB cream!
