Vintage Shopping & Charity Shopping;

I decided a couple of days ago that this weekend I would go charity shopping in my local village (especially as I hardly go to my local village and always go into town) I was so chuffed especially as I managed to pick a few things up!

I started with a charity shop that was in a shopping precinct and managed to pick up my new makeup 'holder draws' as I've been calling them all day. They were only £3.50 and in all honesty I HATED the colour of them but I couldn't pass on the chance of picking them up, considering I doubted I would find anything like that around my area. My dad has started collecting wooden furniture, sanding them down then using Annie Sloan Chalk Paints to give them a vintage, 'distressed' look. So, after buying the box drawer I decided I would paint it cream with some of his paint, I was so happy when it was finished. It was definatly £3.50 well spent! I will get so much use out of these drawers and have already organised some of my makeup in them!

Next to my makeup storage is another new piece of furniture that I am extremely happy I purchased! I literally go all cheery when I think about it! A new 'vintage' shop (yest thats its name!) opened today and I was really curious as to what it would be selling, so I went in and had a peak. I fell in love instantly! It was full of 'distressed' furniture, vintage baby clothes & buggies, cute little tins, and brik-a-brak. This was my sorta shop! HaHa! Whilst browsing my eyes kept getting drawn to a display of a chest of draws with a matching mirror hanging above, it was in a pretty pink shade and I just KNEW I somehow had to get it! Turns out, as it was opening day, there was 10% of everything, so I managed to buy the mirror and chest of draws for £103. Its alot of money but I just couldn't leave the shop without it HaHa, and they will be great in my bedroom when I move out ( Ive already decided my colour scheme!)



Finally, my dad (being the diy man of the house) decided to make me some new shelving for my room out of some random wood he found and some white paint. This is the end result...
I decorated it with some cup cake candles and other photos, I love the ginger bread man tin lid I found (we got the tin for christmas but I cant seem to find the rest of it)

Whats Going On Becca?!

I said I would upload a video today of my latest shopping trip, however, I've had a rather poorly little boy :( so..everytime I found a time to record a video, ( when Hayden was asleep, or with my mum) he would somehow manage to get to me, HaHa! Not that I'm complaining, it means extraaaaa big cuddles !

A few of my next blog posts will definatley be more beauty and fashion and makeup related, so keep an eye out for them. I will show you my latest purchases from town, and ebay, my favourite products of the month and OOTD posts.

On a different hand.. apart from it being the 1st of March today (1month&4days till my birthday, yippee!) its also National Pig Day, I thought this was the cutest thing ever when I heard it!

To end my blog post, I thought I would leave you with a nice picture of some cute micro piglets ;)

Exciting stuff...!

So..I've had roughly 100 views on my first youtube video! I was so shocked when I woke up this morning, logged on a saw it. I thought everyone would by-pass it! HaHa. I've had a few comments saying the lighting and camera quality was bad, so Ive ordered a proper camcorder from currys and it will arrive on Friday, so I will then upload a video then.

Hopefully the quality and sound will be alot better! *Fingers Crossed!*

Over the weekend I am planning on going to a couple of charity shops in my local area, to see what cute little storage and other items I can get to arrange my makeup and beauty items. (Im on a whole clearing spree and want to properly sort my makeup out, as at the moment its all pretty much in see through bags, in a box.)

I want to feel proud of my makeup collection and would love to display it in little vintage boxes and tins. It would make my feel so excited every time I put my makeup on and when I go into my room!


Oh how I would love to have something as pretty and cute as this in my bedroom!

Youtube!

Hey guys so todays post isn't all to do with makeup and beauty, however.. I've got some exciting news! I've created a youtube account! I have wanted to make youtube videos for over a year, and after starting this blog I have finally plucked up the courage to make one.. and.. I have already uploaded my first video. Its my outfit of the day for today. I will post a link below to my youtube channel so please head over and check it out, even if its just to watch my outfit of the day video, HaHa! Even though I would like some subscribers.

Ive decided my next video to go up will be a haul of my recent shopping trip, which I will either film tomorrow or the day after depending on my free time in the day ( I'm a busy bee being a pretty much full time mummy!)

I hope you like my channel if you do go check it out.

Don't forget to follow me on blogluvin' I've had no followers yet :( HaHa!

Morning Skin Care Routine;


Last night I uploaded my night time skin care routine, and now this blog post if my morning skin care routine.
 1. I start by washing my face with Skinology Tea Tree Face Wash. I really like this product as it leaves my skin really clean and the tea tree in it helps fight spots and blemishes which is an added bonus!

2. I then take some Skinology Tea Tree Blackhead Cleanser on a cotton pad and sweep it across my face and neck to remove any excess dirt.

3. I place some Skinology Tea Tree Intensive Spot Cream on any blemishes or spots and rub it in. This helps fight the infection off and for me it really does work!

4. Finally, I use Nivea Soft Moisurising Cream on all my dry areas, such as my t-zone, chin and cheeks. This moisturiser leaves my skin feeling super soft and is not oily or greasy. I have used this moisturiser for a long time and would recommend it to everyone!

As you can tell my morning skin care routine is a lot shorter than my night time routine, but this is mainly because I like my skin feeling light weight before putting my makeup on. The tea tree products help fight off any spots I manage to get, HaHa!

Night Time Skin Care Routine;

As I am sure, every girl has a night time skin care routine. So I thought I would share with you what I do every night.

1. I start by using Pure Deep Cleanse makeup remover wipes and some eye makeup remover wipes ( I can't remember their name). You can purchase both packets at Poundland though. Considering these are quite cheap wipes they really do take all of your makeup off and make your skin feel really clean and refreshed.

2. I then wash my face with warm water and take my Nivea Gentle Cleansing Cream Wash which I use for dry skin, and rub into my skin using a circular motion. I then was this off with cold water.

3. Using a round cotton pad I wipe my face all over with Skinology Tea Tree Blackhead Cleanser. This helps remove any excess dirt and oils, and it makes your skin feel smoother and fresher and cleaner.

4. I read online that you can use Savlon First Aid Wash to help clear spots, and as I get the odd break out here and there I thought I would give it a try to see what its like. If you would like a review please comment below :) ! So I spray this on any areas that I feel like a spot is arising or is already there.

5. I then take my Skinology Tea Tree Intensive Spot Cream and place it down the bridge of my nose, on my chin and around my temples. (these are the places I seem to break out the most)

6. Finally, as I have extremely dry skin I use Nivea Intensive Advanced Moisture Care Lotion. I purchased this in Poundland a couple of weeks ago and I have so far been hooked on it! I love how soft it leaves my skin and how hydrated I feel, it contains Almond Oil in it so it soaks deep into my skin, and I still have a super soft face in the morning. HaHa!

In the morning when I was my face and get ready for the day I use a few different products. Which I've decided I will show you tomorrow what I use in the mornings as my skin care routine and I will show you my every day makeup too!

Whats your favourite skin care products? Is there anything you recommend I try out? Comment below and let me know!

My new makeup storage ヅ

I visited one of my favourite shops today...Poundland. I was on a hunt to get some new storage for my makeup. I came across these draw boxes, which I thought would be great for some of my most used products, like eyeshadows, lip glosses and lipsticks etc. I bought two so that I could stand them by my mirror so my favourite items are within easy reach. They arent the most stable of boxes but for a few items here and there it is worth the money.

The other week on Ebay I purchased this face pad holder, which came with face pads too. This was such a good idea as I always manage to lose my cotton pads all over my room and in my bathroom.. much to my mums annoyance. Now their on hand whenever I need them and not underneath my bed anymore!

Back to poundland I bought this cute little makeup bag to use for any items such as eye lash curlers, hair clips for when I straighten my hair and nail varnish remover pads. This helps keep all my little odds and ends together. Finally I bought a basket which Ive put all my essential items like nail buffers, exfoliating gloves and nail wraps in.

Sorry this is a rushed blog but my boyfriend is coming round and I havent seen him in a few days and I'm missing him loaads!

All my love <3
