Night Before Flight Routine.

Before I go on any holiday I always have my 'evening before ritual'. In attempt to be 'bikini ready'!

I have been doing this for years, however some products have been switched out or added due to new discoveries!

After a long day I come in and immediately take off my makeup (thanks to the persistent advice from Caroline Hirons!)

Then I have a nice long shower/bath and wash my hair with Liz Earler Botanical shine shampoo & conditioner, they are very gentle and perfect for damaged hair. Then the obvious one - shaving my rather neglected hairy legs, no one wants hairy gorilla legs on holiday, with an everyday cheap razor. I mean I do wonder how people don't get utterly exhausted from shaving your legs every single day without fail.

Post-Shower I moisturize from head-to-toe with a nice thick cream, to rid of my scales. Recently I have been using Aqueous Cream from Superdrug, it literally has worked wonders on my skin.

Face-wise I cleanse with Liz Earle Hot Cloth cleanser and tone with Liz Earle Tonic (not pictured), moisturizing with Pro-activ Repairing treatment no 3 ( been using this for a very long time, it is one of my skin staples).

A new addition to my ritual is Boots eye gel, it moisturises and relaxes my eyes, the thing that surprised me was that I noticed a difference using it. 

If I have any spots I will use Antiac Activ spot treatment, I usually always have this in the back of my cupboard in some form.

Finally I will paint my nails and bury myself into a good book, this holiday I painted them Barry M Gelly varnish 'Prickly pear' - a lovely lilac colour which works with multiple outfits. 

Do you have any before holiday rituals? Please share!

Sleek Celestial Palette #5DaysToGo

There is actually only 5 days to go, cannot even believe it. Anyway this must be the season of new things as yesterday i reviewed a new brand to me and again today!

This is the Sleek Celestial Limited edition palette and it is very beautiful!

This is a beautiful palette, with a very good pay off! I would recommend using primer first, so there is no fall out.

It is so lovely and so Sleek (laugh, no? ok).

Sorry for a quick review, i have had quite a lot on today. Christmas rush is finally getting to me.

MUA eye-shadow Pearl Shade 2

This little eye-shadow caught my eye when i read RasberryKiss's review on it and i was looking for something like this to pop in the corner of my eye. So i mean i had to get it, i had no choice!

I know i have had alot of MUA posts recently but i do have some other ones coming, promise.

This is from MUA and it is £1. Shade 2- Pearl. The packaging is quite good, a bit flimsy yet it did  not break when i dropped it (accidentally).

 It is a lovely shiny colour which does not fall out after a long day. It gives you an illusion of bright wide awake eyes!

As you can see here it is a lovely light colour which reflects the light.

Have you tried any of the MUA eye-shadows? Do you like them?

Rimmel Special eyes eyeliner - Black Magic

I think i will be forever in-love with my Soap&Glory SuperCat liquid eye-liner, but i cannot really use it on my water line or create that smudgy look which all of us long to perfect. So i opted for this Rimmel Special eyes eye-liner for £2.99 in Boots. So this wont make a big hole in your wallet.

The packaging is not fantastic but seems pretty durable, does it's job.

 I used this on my lid for testing purposes, i have so say it applied well and felt great to begin with. However by the end of the night it had smudged where my top lid meets the upper part of my eye (when i open my eyes), i hadn't even noticed until the end of the night!

I also used it on my water line, and that stayed on brilliantly! It was still there in place by the end of the night, and i have quite watery eyes therefore most eye-liners smudge off.

 From the swatch below you can see it is a deep black with a lot of pigmentation!

Overall i really like this product for my waterline only definitely not my lid.

Have you tried this product?
