Beauty|Baking|Fashion|Lifestyle Blog

I've started this blog to talk about the things I love; one of them being beauty. I'm a 14 year old girl who loves all things beauty related - skincare, makeup, hair, nails; so much so that when I'm older I want to become a dermatologist. Because I'm only 14 I find that all the best beauty bloggers are 20+ which means their skin is different and they are able to wear make up to there heart's content, where as we have to wear the "right amount" for our age. This blog is for everyone. But I will be aiming it at girls my age, who are interested in mainly beauty, but also baking, fashion and healthy eating. I upload every Sunday. :)

Current skincare faves







As you can probably see everything here has suddenly turned a lot more festive. I cannot tell you how excited I am for Christmas!
As the season changes, so does our skincare and over roughly the last month my skincare has changed dramatically! My Elemis cleanser has been finished and out the window and instead I have been using the slightly more pricey, Liz Earle cleanse and polish. This is the nicest cleanser I have ever used! I do realise that I am very late on the band wagon with this, but I thought I would give it a try and jump on! I find it doesn't leave my face dry or irritated and my face is always super soft and feels like it has that really clean feeling. It comes out like a cream, but when you put it on your face and start rubbing it in, it has more of a balmy consistency, but it's not oily. I have oily/combination skin so this would not be good! I think that this would be great for all skin types. You apply it all over your face (with make up on) and the oils in the product break down the make up on your face. Wait for like 30 seconds, and then wash off with a muslin cloth or flannel. I have to admit that it is quite expensive. As a product by itself it's £14 in Boots or if you want you can get it in a little pack with a muslin cloth, but because I already had a few and loads of flannels I thought it would be better to get it by itself. The pack is £15.50 in Boots. I promise you that if you buy this you won't be disappointed.
The other one in the picture is the Pixi Glow Tonic. Over about the past month, this has probably been my most loved skincare product. It is an exfoliating facial tonic, aka it's a toner that you wipe across your face, that gently exfoliates your skin with glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is great because it stimulates the production of collagen so it evens out your skin-tone and is great for resurfacing. I use this every evening. You can use this morning AND evening but it is expensive so I try to savour every bit! I got this in Liberty in London, so it isn't easy to get hold of, but I think you can get it online on Cult Beauty AND M&S have recently upped their game in the beauty department and you can now get it online their website and in some stores, like on Oxford Street. It is £18 *grits teeth*. I do understand that you might not want to spend this much on both of these products, but I think if you're going to spend money on anything then you should spend it on good skincare because if you do then when you're older you won't have to wear a blanket of foundation and when you're EVEN older you won't have as many wrinkles on your face.
Dream on ❤️
