My new filter bottle

Just wanted to do a little post on something that I have gotten recently that I love and wanted to share how much I love it lol. 

I recently got this filter bottle and am completely obsessed with it now. My sister was ordering one online and asked if I would like one too. It was only about €3 as well so it's a bargain and only took about a week or two to arrive. It's also in my favourite colour pink. It does come in other colours too like blue, purple and green. 

It's the perfect size not too big for a bag but big enough to have for drinking while I'm out. It's also really easy to clean, I hate complicated thing's with lots of parts to them. 

You fill it up with water obviously and then put the filter in and the cap on. That's about it. It's not a really hard plastic as when you take a sip you sort of squeeze it a little to push the water through the filter, but it's not an annoying thing either I sort of do it out of habit now. It's great to have filtered water and not bottled water that I have bought. I'm terrible for buying bottled water so thought this idea was perfect. My other sister loved it so much that she has even ordered one to now and one for a friend.

My New Face Routine

Some times I feel like make up removing products don't always take everything off. I feel limited to what I use as my skin tends to have reactions to certain products so I try not to over do the amount of products I use or change them around a lot.

Most days I don't wear that much make up and some days I don't even bother. I like to give my skin a break once or twice a week from make up. On night's out I do wear a good amount and sometimes break out after even though I have removed it all and cleansed my face. This is where I feel it's not removing it all.

So on a recent trip to Penney's ( I know it sounds like I'm there a lot) I saw these and thought I have to buy them. I think these thoughts a lot and this is why I'm always broke, well that and I keep leaving the country and flying to the other side of the world for a few months. At first the brush felt a little stiff and I wasn't sure if it would be to rough on my skin but once I used it I noticed it was much softer then I first thought and the sponges feel very similar to ones I have bought in the beauty shops. Not bad for €2.50 for both. 

After removing my makeup with makeup remover I applied my usual cleanser to my face and then using the brush I used a circular motion to rub the cleanser into my skin. After I was finished I dipped the sponged in some luck warm water and and removed the cleanser. Each time I wiped of some cleanser of my face with the sponge I used a different part for the next area of my face and rinse the sponge when I needed to. I felt like my face was so clean after and all I needed to do was apply some moisturiser and I was done.

Mini Haul

I went shopping yesterday and it was only to window shop as I really souldn't be buying anything else because I don't know where I'm going to put it. Anyway I went for a little browse in Penney's (Primark) because it's to tempting not to in the off chance I find a bargain or two that I have no choice but to buy as the price is just too good haha.

I did find some bargains actually and really good ones. First I got this mint green top for €1 and then I found these pink runners. 

The top is a lovely green which is one of my favourite colours and it's 100% cotton and really soft.

The shoes where only €2 which is great. They are very bright but I have always loved pink shoes and for €2 where could I go wrong. 

Nose Pore Strips

I picked these up as an impulse buy not knowing how good they are but they where only €1.50 for 6. They are described as cleansing nose pore strips for removing blackheads and unclogging pores. 

The directions say to apply to a clean wet nose, and then to smooth the srtip  over the nose to get ride of any bubbles. They suggest that it should be left on for about 10-15 minutes. By this time it feels rock hard. Next is to remove it by slowly pulling it away from the skin on the side of the nose. My skin is sensitive and I wasn't very gentle removing it the first time so it did sting a bit. The second time I was more carefull and it didn't hurt. The results can be seen instantly on the strip. So if you suffer from backheads in this area you should see quite a lot like I did. The skin on my nose felt so soft afterwards. 

My nose is an area that is oily and I get a lot of blackheads here as well as my cheeks just beside my nose. I wanted to see if the strips would help me with the blackheads on my cheeks too so I cut one in half and applied it in the same way and yes it worked great. 

I have used these twice now on my nose and can really see a difference. I hope by using them more often like twice a week as they suggest I can improve the look of the pores on my nose.

New Bag

I love this bag. I saw it on ebay a few weeks ago and feel in love with it. I just had to have it and it was only €8.22 with free postage, so bargain. I love finding these types of bargains. It only took a couple of weeks to get here which is great for ebay. 

It came in a few different colours aswell like pink and beige. It has a leathery feel to it and the size is perfect, not to huge but big enough to fit everything in and definitely not small. It even has a little purse attached to the inside which I think is the cutest thing ever. 

To be honest I am genuinely impressed with the quality given that it was only €8.22 and on line. My Aunty was even so impressed that she's asked me to order her one as well in the same coulour. Well it was either that or mine may have just gone missing haha.

Argan Oil Night Repair Serum

I've been using this night repair serum for the past two weeks now. I found it in the Euro General shop for €1.50. Seriously I'm starting to love this shop. 

I really like the packaging of this. It comes in a little glass bottle with a dropper. It recommends applying a few drops to a clean face and neck. I've been using about 4 to 5 drops and gently massaging it into my face and neck. The serum is light but not greasy. It doesn't disappear into the skin straight away. It feels like a night cream on my skin. A little goes along way with this serum and I am less then half way through the bottle even after using it a couple of weeks. 

I find my skin is very soft and hydrating by the morning, which helps me when applying my make-up. I usually have dry skin and can take me a while for my make-up to look right but not with this serum. 

I  would recommend this as an alternative to a night cream. Although it doesn't work miracles in terms of repairing my skin it is still early days and I have high hopes for it after maybe a month or so. It does do an amazing job of hydrating my skin which helps the appearance of my skin look smoother and it feels it too especially around my eyes where the eczema has really effected, and all for a €1.50 price tag.
