Whats in my shower/shower routine:

Hey there, thought I would do something a little bit different for this post. I was intending to get this up lastnight but my laptop was playing up and wouldn't recognise my SDHC card, no idea why! But it worked tonight.

Ignore the wetness, I just literally had a shower before I took this picture, so everything's well...wet lol! I was going to do this a while ago, but got the urge to do it lastnight.

• So first up I use the St Ives apricot scrub, this ones for blemished skin, but I much prefer the original. I have been using this for ages, and its lasted so long. I love a good face scrub, and I use this at least once a week, sometimes twice. I've been using apricot scrubs since I was a teenager specifically for my acne. 
• Then I'll follow up with my Anew Vitale face wash by AVON, as you can see this sample size is lasting a while, and I try not to over use it, but I will use it everytime I shower. 
• I'll shampoo with my Elvive fibrology shampoo and then apply the conditioner. Sometimes I'll use the Elvive Fibrology mask instead of the conditioner or sometimes both, I only focus that on the very ends if I need it. Whilst the conditioner is soaking in I'll put my body scrub on. The one I'm using at the moment is the planet spa one by AVON (review coming up soon).
• I'll apply the body scrub everywhere, but focus on my legs and arms. I like to do this once a week, I also love a good body scrub.
• Then I'll follow up with a body wash/shower gel, I have quite a few which I switch around often, right now I have been using the Katy Perry Killer Queen one that I got in my gift set.
• Once I'm out of the shower I'll sometimes apply a body lotion, after this shower I put on the matching Katy Perry Killer Queen body lotion.
• Moving onto hair I'll either put on my argan oil serum (which I have talked about before) on the very ends of my hair or I'll put the Phil Smith argan oil cream into the ends and work it in (I'll put this from my ears down). I'll either blow dry my hair and style it or leave it to air dry if I'm not going out. I left it to air dry last night. This was a sample I got a while ago. It smells gorgeous and leaves your hair smoother and shinier. 
• I put all my face moisturisers on right before I go to bed. 

Hope you liked this post. I love a good nosy when it comes to whats in peoples showers, love to know what products people use etc. See you all soon with my next review, 

Avon haul:

Yay its finally here! Its definitely a mood booster when you get your parcel delivered, I feel like a kid in a candy store!

I ordered quite a bit, and I also ordered my mum some goodies for mothers day. I'll show you what I got for myself. Oh and I also received my re-order of the Pavers heels, there's definitely much more room in the next size up, but a little extra room is always better than squeezing your feet into something too small!

First up we have the ANEW vitale skincare kit. I got the 25+ range in the trail sizes to try them out. The range is quite expensive, so if I like the products I may order the full size. These little sets are usually around £22-£28, and they are currently on offer for £10! Now that's a bargain, if I don't like it I wont have wasted too much money. Here's the one I bought ANEW 25+ skincare set but you can buy them in other ages.

Next we have the Planet spa perfectly purifying body scrub. This contains dead sea minerals. I love a good scrub for my face and body, and I needed a new body scrub. The one I tried last wasn't rough enough for my liking, was a little too gentle. So hopefully this will do the trick. It's on offer at the moment for £3.85 instead of £5.50. I do love my bargains, here is the link if you are interested Planet spa body scrub.

I also picked up the prepare to party gift set which comes in a little evening bag with the goodies inside. This cost £10 which is great as everything separate would cost much more. The set includes supershock mascara in black, ultra colour lipstick in red 2000, true colour eyeshadow duo in healthy glow, and glimmestick eyeliner in blackest black. The bag is PVC but very soft. This is out of the stock at the moment, but they should be getting more in soon, here is the link prepare to party gift set. I've had similar ones before in the past, and they are worthit.

I picked up two foundations on the 2 for £12 offer, ones the extra lasting liquid foundation which contains SPF 12, and the other is the ideal flawless invisible foundation which also contains an SPF 15. I'm always on the lookout for new foundations to try, and I'm quite excited to try these out. I got them both in Ivory so will soon find out how dark they turn out on my skin.  Here are the links Extra lasting foundation, and Invisible coverage foundation. The invisible coverage has more color options.

Below I have uploaded some closer looks at the products:

I quickly did some swatches to show the product colours:

These are swatches from the prepare to party gift set.

The darker swatch is the extralasting foundation, hopefully it will blend well and wont be too dark for me. The lighter swatch is the ideal flawless foundation, I had a problem getting this out of the bottle because the pump wouldn't work, maybe its faulty. I'm hoping it begins to work so I don't have to scoop the product out of the bottle.

I'm just waiting on my makeup storage to come now, but it's out of stock due to high demand. So may be waiting around 2 weeks until it arrives.

Let me know if you have tried any of these products and your thoughts. See you all soon,
