♥ Night Time Skin Care Routine ♥

 
Hello, everyone! :) Today, I decided to post my night time routine. I have dry and sensitive skin and the products that I use are drugstore products. 
 
 

The first thing that I do before going to bed is to remove my make-up using the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Nourishing wipes. I have been using this for ages and it is my all time favourite. It also smells so good!
 
 
 
 
I then use the Avon conditioning eye make up remover to remove my eye make-up.
 
 
 
After that, I wash my face with warm water  and I use NIVEA Gentle Cream Wash to remove extra make-up. I then splash my face with cold water to close the pores.
 
 
I then use my Simple kind to skin facial toner. This removes the excess makeup that is left on my face and also closes the pores. I also apply this to my neck area in up and down motion. I have to admit I really love this product. I have been using it all the time. It's really good because it has no alcohol in it.
 
 
Lastly, I apply my Simple kind to skin Night Cream to moisturise my face and to help restore and replenish my skin throughout the night. This contains 2 Vitamins and 4 skin-loving ingredients.
 
 
 
 Take care.
xoxo, Xyza

♥ Red ♥

Hello, beautiful ladies! :) Red symbolises fierce or anger but for me, red also symbolises Christmas! Ohh, it's the most wonderful time of the year :)  I don't know what to post so I decided to put-on make up, do my nails and take photos. This is just a simple eye-makeup look and shocked by red lipstick.  I was inspired to do this because we just put up our Christmas tree and I feel Christmassy so I decided to do this and I think this look is perfect with black dress :)

 
I used Next Cashmere Eyeshadow Palette and the Smokey Eyeshadow Palette by H&M. For eyebrows, I used the matte dark brown colour from H&M 36x palette and Avon Superextend Extreme Mascara in the shade black.
 
 
 
 
For my lips, I decided to Line it with MUA Lip liner and Avon lipstick.
 I know, I don't have the longest nose but, hey, at least I have a nose and I am thankful for it because with it I am able to breathe.
 
 
For my nails, I also decided to paint it red. I used Avon and Deborah Lippmann. I forgot to take a photo of it but I might do a nail tutorial so you might see it :) Comment down below if you want me to do one.
 

 
And then, the overall look. Hashtag selfie. I'm just actually wearing a pink vest :p Below are some of the products that I used in this look.
 

 
 Maxfactor Powder in the shade Nouveau Beige.
 

Avon Lipstick and Eye primer.
 


Avon Eye liner in the shade Pitch black and MUA lip liner in the shade Red Drama.

Take care.

♥ Mini Haul ♥

So, yesterday I went to Superdrug to buy the Rimmel Translucent Powder because I've heard good reviews about it and it's Tanya Burr's favourite powder. And guess, what? I ended up picking other items, so I thought I'd share it with you guys! :) These are all drugstore products.



 

The first thing I picked up was the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. This is in the shade 001 Translucent. This is only £3.99!

 
 
 
I never use face primer because I don't usually wear make-up but I  picked up the Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Primer anyways. I haven't tried this one yet but I'm excited as it says 5 in 1 results. It's 30 ml so it's like the same amount of the normal foundation bottles.
 
 
 
I ran out of blusher so I picked one and it is the L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Blush. I got really excited when I saw this coz I've never seen any BB Blush before. Haha! It is 15 ml and it's in the shade Universal Rosy Blush. This is only £7.99.
 
 
I really want to have a mascara collection! If there's only one makeup I could wear, it would be mascara. However, I don't really use it often as I couldn't be bothered taking them off. Lazy me! Anyways, I picked up one and it's Maybelline the Colossal Volume Express Cat Eyes Mascara. I've tried this on already and I absolutely love it! This one is only £6.99 and it's 9.5 ml. I actually forgot to include this in the first photo because I separated it with my other mascaras.
 
 
 
 
 
The brush is really cool. It makes your lashes longer and fuller and it flares out the corner lashes.
 
 
Last time I went shopping, I saw the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge but didn't but it because I don't usually use sponge. But, I got it yesterday and can't wait to try it. It's only £4.99 which is cheap compared to the Models Own one.
 
 
It's an oval with a cut out at the top so I would say it's an oval wedge. Haha! I know it's not a word but I'm not good in describing things.
 
 
Being fascinated by sponges, I also picked up the Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert. It's only £4.99 so, why not try?

 
Again, I don't know how to explain the shape of this bit here's the close up.
 
 
Lastly, I picked up hair products. I just bleached my hair about a month ago and re-bleached it last Wednesday 30th October. I know it was a bad idea but I did it anyways. So now, I feel sorry for the ends of my hair. It's not totally damaged but the texture feels different than my usual hair. I am a TRESemme fan, so I picked up some products.  These are the TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Hairspray and TRESemme Keratin Deep Treatment Masque.
 
 
That's it guys. Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Happy Sabbath and have a lovely weekend! :)
 
 
Take care.
