Skincare Routine {Acne-Prone Skin}

Hi guys welcome back to my blog.

Today I'm talking about one of the most important things in my day and that's my skincare routine. Due to my oily and acne-prone skin I can't go a day without using skincare products and it's rather vital to helping my skin look at least slightly better. 

Before what I'm currently using I was using the Clinique 3 step Anti-Blemish set which I did find really good and did see a difference but considering the price I was expecting a bit more and as I got it as a gift I needed to find something to replace it as it has completely ran out... So I went to the body shop! They have many different skincare ranges for each skin type and my skin type matched the tea tree range.

 I picked up the:
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner
 - Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion
 - Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream

Now I'll talk you through what I do in the mornings and evenings

Morning: In the morning I use all the products in the order above to really clean my skin and help my skin look better and sometimes use the BB cream on days where I want less of a heavy foundation base if my skin is particular sore. This is too light for me as there isn't a very big shade range but I just deepen it with a darker foundation or some bronzer. I would recommend this as it is a good coverage for a BB cream and leaves my skin feeling light and fresh.

Evening: I cannot use as much product in the evening due to the fact I use prescribed medication for my acne. So first I use the foaming cleanser and then I go straight onto using my Epiduo and leave this on overnight - you cannot get this in a drugstore unless your doctor has prescribed it to you so if you feel like you have acne then go to the doctors and ask. I do not apply a toner as it reacts with the cream and makes my skin very dry and sore and leaves it stinging.

So I hope you found this blog post interesting and if you have the same skin type as me then hopefully you found this useful!

Clothing Brand Focus: Missguided

Hi guys I'm back with another brand focus but this time it's to talk about one of my favourite clothing brands, Missguided.

I feel like missguided has just kept getting better and better throughout the time since I found it which was about a year ago. It's got some amazing pieces and the prices are quite affordable so I never feel ripped off, and they always seem to have offers on which is always good.

So I'm going to show you the current pieces I own that have been purchased from missguided- bare in mind they might not sell some of these items still.

This is one of my favourite tops to wear for autumn as the colour is very autumnal and I love the look of the cut out sleeves, I believe this is also available in other colours but I couldn't find it on the website.

I also own this flannel by them and I believe it was around £22 and I got it last winter, I love flannels and I love the colours in this one, especially the fact it matches my eye colour.

This jumper is actually by a brand called 'missi' that they use to sell on missguided, but it's such a cosy item, perfect for winter.

Now onto the stuff I've bought more recently..

As you can probably tell missguided have really improved their quality and their clothing overall, at the moment I literally love almost everything on the site. All the clothes below are also still available to buy.

FLORAL SHIRT
RUNNER SHORTS

CO-ORD SHORTS

CO-ORD TOP: Currently Unavailable Online-probably out of stock atm. But they do sell the same one on ark here : http://www.ark.co.uk/products/hearts-and-bows-floral-ditsy-coord/084649

Overall I really love missguided and it is one of the first stores I look at online when I want to buy new clothes (all the time.) I strongly recommend you having a look on there if you haven't already.

Hope you enjoyed reading, let me know in the comments if you would like another of these!

DISCLAIMER: I am not at all sponsored by missguided I just made this post because I genuinely love their site. All opinions are 100% my own.

OOTD:STRIPED DRESS

DRESS: ZARA

SHOES: NEW LOOK

I absolutely love wearing stripes so when I saw this dress I automatically fell in love with it, and even more so when I tried it on. It is perfect for autumn/winter as it is a medium-thickness fabric so would provide extra warmth but can also be layered when really cold with a jumper and tights. I also love the fact the dress has vertical stripes at the sides as it just adds a unique touch to the dress making it more interesting.

I paired this dress with my chunky black chelsea boots and a red lipstick, as I love wearing bold lipsticks with black and white clothes for a little pop of colour. I will definitely be wearing this dress loads and what's even more amazing is the fact I picked it up for just £19.99.
