Bedtime...

I don't know what has bought this on actually as the nights are lighter I would expect to be more wide awake than normal come night time, but lately I have been loving my bedtime routine!

In the hope that this might be interesting I thought I would write up a post on things I love to do before bed...

Relaxing in the bath...

To be honest I cant fully relax in the bath I get bored really quickly but I still love a good bath with fab products,candles,music and loadsa bubbles I just do it quickly!! I love a bath even more with Lush products but haven't been to Lush in forever! Its on my to do list! 

Fave bath products at the moment...

Naked-Coco de mer Body wash
Soap and Glory-calm one calm all bubble bath

The Pink Cow-Vanilla biscuit bath and shower gel (NOM!)

The Pink Cow-Coconut creme body scrub (No nasty parabans with these babieeeees!!)

S factor- Diamond Dreams shampoo infused with diamonds,cashmere and pearls (fancy!!)

Philosophy-Pure Grace conditioner (seriously the best conditioner I have ever used!)

Taking off my 'face'...

Garnier Soft essentials foaming cream wash
Soap and glory massage mitt
Oilatum natural repair face cream (pixiwoo were spot on with this,its fantastic for dry skin!!)
Nivea soft (In an attempt to get gorgeous soft hands,this is lovely!)
Clinique all about eyes.

I haven't always been the best at doing this,to be honest I never used to take my make-up off at night (ick!) I think the main reason for this is I have always been lucky with my skin so took it for granted until I was about 25 and noticed that my complexion was totally lacking any radiance,*panic stations* and a night time regime was introduced (well 99% of the time!)

I am currently using odds and ends of skincare, and that has just alerted me to the fact that I am on the lookout for a whole new line to use *YAY!* Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated.

Cozying up in PJ's...

My current mix and match Primark Beauties!!

I am a bit mental when it comes to buying Pyjama's, I find it almost impossible to come home from a Primarni spree without a new pair,thanks to this habit I think I must own around 70 pairs!! My Mum and a couple of my friends are the same. Anyone else have PJ mania??

A good book...

At the moment I am re-reading Sophie Kinsella 'Remember me' and loving it,her writing is so witty that it makes me laugh out loud! I love the shopaholic books, I re-read them so much that the pages  are now falling out, so Im really enjoying reading a Sophie Kinsella book that ironically I cant quite remember the storyline of.

Im hoping that this post doesnt make me seem like a proper granny! So if anyone else is a bedtime-a-holic lately let me know :)

Brand New City,Brand New Haul...

Hey Girls and Boys!!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend,If you follow my Tweets you will know that I took my son to see 'Horrible Histories' In York on Friday night,and we decided to make a weekend of it as York is such a beautiful town with Loads of quaint and quirky little shops.

Sooooooooo,here's a few pictures of the weekend and a little haul from Ye olde York town! 

How pretty are these shops??

I had to ask 3 members of staff if I could take pictures in this AMAZING little shop,It was chokka with Make-up,perfume,false nails,Nail polishes and accessories from floor to ceiling and all at really LOW prices!! It was like Heaven!
I'm really annoyed with myself for not remembering the name,and also for getting claustraphobic when it got busy, and leaving without having a really good rummage.

And onto the haul...

So whats in the swag bag?!

• Oilatum Natural face repair cream- For anyone that hasn't heard this mentioned by Pixiwoo, I have to say this is an amazing cream for anyone with skin that is prone to dryness,I haven't stopped applying it since I picked it up yesterday, and from first use I can really see and feel the moisture that has been injected into my face LOVE IT!! Luckily York has 3 Boots and unluckily  it took me until the third to find it!
• Stargazer Nail Polishes- I got the Pink chrome which i'm not sure i'm 100% sold on as it kind of reminds me of a pearlised pink my Nan used to wear,it's definitely gonna be a Marmite polish is this one!
•  I also picked up polish number 306 there is no colour on this,but its a fab black/grey glitter I have it on now over Barry M Black and I'm Loving it!
• Cosmpolitan Eyelash curlers-I love these sooo much! They have proper handles,so no more putting your fingers into uncomfortable metal holes and squeezing until you have big red dents on them! I have been using the cult shu uemura curlers for about 3 years and the cosmo ones have now officially replaced them!
• W7 Cheeky cherry and ravishing raspberry lip balms-Cute little slide open tins with vintage pin up girls on the front...once again I was suckered in by the packaging!!! 
• The Pink Cow 'Vanilla biscuit bath&shower gel' and 'Coconut creme body scrub'- The whole 'pink cow' range was on offer in Boots everything only £2 So I picked these up mainly because 'Vanilla biscuit' caught my eye and Vanilla is my favourite smell ever!! 
• Maybelline 'one by one' mascara-The one with the 'lash catcher' brush,I have used this twice now and have to say it has given me seperated lashes and a good bit of length to boot,I will do a full review of this once I have used it a few more times.
• Loreal 'Sublime bronze' face tan-I was going to pick up St.tropez but remember a friend raving about sublime bronze and thought I'd give it a go.When I have used it a couple of times I'll add a review.
• Nivea soft Hand,face and body moisturiser-Actually I find this pretty similar to the Oilatum face repair,Just gorgeously (<so surprised spell check didn't pull me on that!!) hydrating and I love that it's multi purpose.
• A Cosmopolitan vent brush-Nothing exciting it was just really cheap in TKMAXX! FYI York has a rubbish TKMAXX I was v.disappointed! And while I'm on a bit of a rant It doesn't have a Primark!!! That is the only thing wrong with York in my opinion.
• Good things 5 minute facial mask-I'm not sure why exactly I bought this,I think the intention was to go back and relax and have a pampering session (It didn't really work out like that!) But my boyfriend used it and said his skin felt great so thumbs up so far!

I know its a pretty small one especially considering that I was surrounded by really cute shops,but it was really busy and the shops were all pretty small and seriously jammed with people, so it made for a somewhat stressful shopping experience.

 I'd like to go back on a weekday or a Sunday when its maybe less crowded and I'm able to hear myself think!
