Skin care routine..

Hey Sweeties! 
Ever since I became a teenager I've had one constant problem, spots/acne
I've tried many products and even anti-biotics to help clear them or just to control them.
Last year I went into boots when I seen one of their numerous offers, this one was for face wipes to be more specific Clean & Clear.

First things first in the morning I just wash my face with dove soap and water.
Then when I'm getting ready I use;
Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion:
"For sensitive skin. Cleanses your skin gently but effectively to remove everyday build-up of oil, dirt and grease [..] It can also be used to refresh, tone and tighten pores after washing."
It does exactly that, which is great as I naturally have oily skin. 
You really do feel your skin tighten. The cotton pads are Primark's own make, why get expensive ones when they all do the same job.
Once I'm all ready I always put my make-up on last. 

Clean & Clear Deep Action Facial Wipes:
When I come in from Uni/Work and I know I'm not going out again I use these to remove my make-up.
"Cleans deep down to effectively remove dirt, oil and make up in one quick, easy step."
Once again, it does exactly that and afterwards you can feel your face tingle it's an odd but nice sensation.
Then I cleanse my face with the lotion above. 

Once I've done that I apply;
Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Body Lotion:
"Increases moisture instantly, then fills the gaps in skin to lock moisture in all day, promoting the proper environment dry skin needs to repair itself"
And what do you know? It does exactly that, what a surprise :)
Even though I naturally have oily skin, after I've wiped and cleansed my skin it tends to feel dry so I finish off with this. 

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from before I started using the cleansing lotion but I do have after photos. It's roughly 2-3 weeks since I've started to used the product. My friends and family have even noticed a difference. I still do get spots but not frequently as before.
       
As you can see I just have blemishes and scars left.
Thankfully girls, I have a great foundation =)
Over all, I fully recommend all of these products to anyone with acne/spot problems.
Do you have any miracle products?

With Love,

My 20th!

Hey sweeties!
Well it's finally over, my teenage years have wasted away; adult life is now upon me.
I thought I'd share with you what I wore on my birthday, some people would've seen this on Instagram.
(x_JustSmile)

Blouse, George - Maxi skirt, Grazia.

As I don't have a Tri-pod yet, I used the seat of my exercise bike =) 


I love the pattern on this top, I don't have another like it. I bought this last year from George (Asda). I've worn it quite a few times and the quality is the same as when I got it. Extremely easy to wash and iron which is always a bonus.
I've wanted a bluey green skirt for ages to wear with this top, when I was re-doing the sales rack at work, NO ONE ELSE WAS GETTING IT! 
Mwhaha, so I just put 'hold for Michelle' on the back.
Oh the perks of the job, it was £40 to £10 by Grazia but sold in Simply Be.
I know the socks don't quite go but whenever I wear leggings I always feel as if they're going to slide up my leg, so I put socks on just encase, yes I've already told you a numerous of time I'm weird :D I'm normally a size 20 but with it having an elasticated waist I chose an 18 as most of the clothes at Simply Be are quite generous with sizing, it turned out to be a perfect fit. 
As you can see it has an underskirt which is just at knee length.

Me and the guys just went to our usual quiz night, thankfully they didn't sing happy birthday to me, I would've have been redder than a tomato! 
I've finally tasted Krispy Kremes, ermahgerd! 
DELICIOUS!

With Love,
M! xo
