1) 'Black Vice High Waisted Skinny Jeans'.

I got these in size 10s and they cost £20.

These jeans are genuinely so comfortable and the website includes a size guide so you buy the correct length and width. I'm usually a size 8, however, I thought they'd be too tight and I got a size 10. Wrong choice. The width is too loose for me, meaning I have to keep pulling the jeans up, however, the length is just right. I'd say stick to your true size, so if I order again I'd get a size 8s.

2) 'Orange Crew Neck Ribbed Top'.

I got this in size 8 and it was £10.

I fully love this top, it fits well and goes well with a range of outfits. I wore this with dark blue jeans and a denim jacket and love the look. I also got the same top but in black.

3) 'Black Crew Neck Ribbed Top.'

I got this in Size 8 and was £10.

As with the orange top, I loved this; great fit and goes well with everything. This can also be used as a comfortable undertop. I wore this with striped trousers for an interview. Will definitely buy this top in more colours.

4) 'Tie Belt Crepe High Waist Trousers Khaki.'

Got these in size 8 and they were £18 (They're now £25)

I really loved the look of these trousers online and already has outfits planned in my head, however, when these arrived they were way too tight. For this, I should've got a size bigger. The material was quite comfy, however felt as if it would tear if I attempted to sit down. I gave them to my sister and they fit her well.

5) 'Madison Beer X Missguided Black Colour Block Oversized Hoodie Dress.'

I got this in a size 8 and it cost £35.

Love this hoodie; the length is great, it's comfortable and the colour looks amazing. It looks great with black jeans and white trainers and is a fun, casual outfit. Would definitely recommend buying this.

6)'Black Floral Kimono Dress.'

I got this in a size 8 and it cost £25. (Right now it's only £10)

I haven't worn this dress out yet, however, I tried it on and it has such a beautiful feel to it. It would look nice with a black or white under top and maybe leggings. I'm not sure but I plan to wear it at some point. It does look nice so I would recommend.


So that's basically what I bought.

My Daily/Nightly Skincare Routine (Using Affordable Products)

Disclaimer: 
- This skincare routine works well for me; I can't guarantee it'd do the same for everyone.
- I received the Nivea products free of charge, however, all views are my own

I thought I'd just share my daily/nightly skin routine and products I usually use on my face to achieve clearer skin. I'll also include links if you'd like to purchase any of these online (

Morning:

1. First I put some of the 'Simple Kind to Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion' on a cotton pad and apply this over my face. This contains no harsh chemicals and easily removes any impurities and excess oil.



2. I then pour a generous amount of the 'Simple Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner' on another cotton pad and apply this to my face. This is 100% alcohol free and immediately refreshes the skin.




3. Every other day (not every day) I apply the 'Nivea 1 Minute Urban Detox Mask: + Purify' to my face and massage in after a few minutes. This contains white clay and magnolia extract which easily refines dull and tired skin as well as removing impurities.



4. I finish off by moisturising my face using the 'Nivea Urban Skin Defence Day Cream'. After applying this my skin feels smoother and the cream gives it a healthy glow due to its antioxidant and green tea extract.

5. Once a week, after cleansing, but before moisturising, I use a mix of brown sugar and honey to exfoliate my face. 2- 3 times a week , I use a small amount of white granulated sugar mixed with honey to exfoliate my lips, making them less chapped and dry. (These items can be obtained cheaply at your nearest supermarket/store).




Night:

1. First I remove any makeup I wore, during the day, using the 'Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes'. These contain no harsh chemicals and are very refreshing.



2. Next I apply some of the 'Simple Kind to Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion' using a cotton pad to remove and impurities and excess dirt/oil from the face.



3. I then apply the 'Simple Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner' using a cotton pad to keep my skin refreshed and replenished.



4. Every other day (not every day) I apply the 'Nivea 1 Minute Urban Detox Mask: Moisturise' to my face and massage in after a few minutes. I find this makes a very noticeable difference as it makes my skin brighter and healthier.



5. I finish off by moisturising my face using the 'Nivea Urban Skin Detox Night Cream'. The active antioxidants strengthen the skin and I wake up with visibly smoother skin.









*These products aren't enough to keep skin healthy and clear; drinking at least 1.5-2 litres of water a day is literally the key; also keeping a balanced diet (fruit, vegetables, protein etc) and having an exercise routine*

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you decide to follow this skin care routine :)
