Blogs Of A Shopaholic

I've been meaning to do a skincare related blog post for a while now but time has just slipped by (as always!).  Now that we've hit March though I thought it would be the perfect time to share my current skincare routine with you as I change my routine to fit in with the season ahead and Spring feels like it's most definitely on it's way.  I have decided to make March my "Skincare" month on the blog and will be posting regular weekly posts about my routines and the products I use so keep checking back as I will be uploading more regularly (or at least trying to) this month. I do take my skincare quite seriously and whenever possible I try really hard to follow the same routine daily, saying that though, it doesn't always  happen, but 99.9% of the time, it does and this is especially true of my morning skincare routine.  The first thing I do (after brushing my teeth) is soak a cotton pad in micellar water and gently wipe it over my face.  I am ...

Hey everyone, It's nearly the end of June unbelievably! I'm not too worried that the month's are flying by though as I'm getting closer to my summer holiday so we are counting down the days here. The things I've been reaching for and loving this month are mainly more than one thing from a few brands so I'll get straight into it. The Glossier Range I picked up this range of skincare and cosmetics from New York in May.  Unfortunately it's still unavailable in the UK but the rumour is it should be available to buy online by the end of the year.  I uploaded a YouTube channel on my first thoughts on these products which I will link here if you want to have a look at everything but listed below are the things I've used literally every day since I got them... Milky Jelly Cleanser This has such a cult following over on Instagram and YouTube and for good reason.  I love it.  The texture is strange...it isn't a jelly but isn't a g...
