Current Skincare Favourites and Tips!

Hello everyone!

So I have recently been using new products and venturing out a little more compared to my usual skincare routine so I thought I would show you the new discoveries I have been loving, and the old favourites I have gone back to.

I hope you guys enjoy this post and make sure to let me know what you thought of it in the comments - and let me know YOUR favourite skincare products, I'd love to try them out!

I love you all lots and I will speak to you in my next one,
Xo's Emily.


So my first new discovery is the CLINIQUE take the day off cleansing balm; some of you may know, if you have watched my channel for a while, that I loved the take the day off cleansing milk from CLINIQUE, but I still had fairly dry skin so I decided to get the balm which is more of an oil based product. Oil - based products can be great for dry skin, but don't be put off either if you have oily skin because they work just as well!! This product, as you will see in the second picture down, is a hard oil and you massage it onto your dry face and it takes off literally ALL traces of makeup, it's amazing! I then use it again to properly cleanse once my makeup is removed.



I have also been getting really into face masks lately, as I have had more problem skin. I have been loving this GARNIER Pure Active wash scrub and mask in one! This means if I just need a scrub or harsher wash I can use this but I can also leave it as a mask if I need it to get deeper into my skin. I highly recommend a product like this to everyone, as it does not cost much and it is a great multi-purpose product... there are some great versions of this on the market at the moment too, all for under the £10 mark.



Lots of you may know I love eye creams - lots of people my age (15) do not bother with eye products but it is a must for me. This simple eye gel is nice and light for the day and I use a richer product at night.



I actually got this toner from my grandma as she did not want it after using it once! I love it though. It is only a small sample one but it makes you feel so fresh in the morning after cleansing. I like to use this before I do my serum and moisturiser in the morning because it makes my face feel fresh and ready for the day.


This is my trusty Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream; there's not much to say about this apart from you need to purchase this if you have problem lips! I always suffered from severely dry lips and since using this I have never experienced chapped lips again. I use this all day, I take it to school, I use it before bed and I take it everywhere! The smell isn't amazing but the benefits for your lips are endless. This is also a multi-purpose product so you can use this to keep your eyebrows in place and you can use it on burns etc. It is £15.00, but for a HUGE size lip balm (as you can see in my hand on the pic).


Recently, due to being naughty and biting my nails and the surrounding skin, I have really really needed a good hand cream. I decided to try the fearne one out which smells amazing! It's nice and light for daily use, and if I need something a little thicker I will smother my hands in some E45 or something similar before going to sleep.


I decided it was time to actually buy a night cream - as I had just been using the same moisturiser for day and night time, which wasn't working for me as my skin seems to crave richer products at night time, this NIVEA one is amazing! I got the BB cream to go with it too and I like that too, for light day wear.


This is an old favourite. I was using a proper cleanser every morning and it was taking more moisture out of my skin so I swapped to something lightweight in the morning, which is this Soap & Glory for daily youth face wash: it smells amazing and it does the job of making my face feel squeaky clean in the morning but not depriving me of the moisture I need.


As I said earlier, I have been using scrubs and masks more and this is my FAVOURITE scrub at the moment - this makes my face so smooth and it really gets deep into pores and spots, even before they appear!

My Weekend Away To Keswick!

Hello everyone!

So recently me, Cole and my family went away to the Lake District for the weekend and instead of vlogging, which I do usually do when I go away (as I think it's nice to have my favourite memories on YouTube, to easily access). However, this time I did not vlog - I blogged and took some great pictures instead! I know not all these pictures look amazing but the weather was not too forgiving for us all!! Nevertheless, we had a fantastic weekend and here are a few pictures to show you what we got up to!

I love you all lots, I hope you enjoyed this post and I will speak to you all in my next one!

Xo's Emily.




We spent a lot of time in Keswick, which was where we were staying (about a mile or so out of the centre), and one place we went to was Fitz Park in the centre of the town - it wasn't an amazing day but we had a great time messing around in the park ... and Lucy loved her first proper park experience!! (My baby sister for those of you who were wondering)












In the park, me and Cole could not resist being big children so we tried out this monkey bar kind of thing. You both grabbed on either side to a monkey bar type handle and then as you walked around it, you got higher and higher and the other person got lower - if that makes sense. I just ended up crashing into Cole, he was actually quite good but in this one he fell over, ha ha!


This was the rest of Fitz Park which was lovely, we got ice creams and walked around the bowls green and the tennis courts!







 We also had a walk into town and when I saw this HUGE giraffe I had to take a picture and send it to my Mum as baby Lucy is obsessed with her toy giraffe, Colin!!










On our way back home we saw these two statue animals, which I thought were quite unusual so naturally I had to photograph them!!

Late Holiday Pictures!

Hello everyone!

So I know that the previous half term we had in the UK was, like, AGES ago now but when I was clearing out my phone pictures the other day I remembered I never got round to actually doing a full blog post of my holiday with Cole and his family to Scotland. They have a caravan in Stranraer and I took some fab pics when we were away so these are some of the pictures!!

P.S. For some of you who sometimes mention this from my vlogs and things, when I vlog with Cole on holidays and things we NEVER share a bed, or go on holiday on our own, his family just prefer not to be filmed!

I hope you enjoy this blog post of pictures and let me know in the comments what you thought about my holiday pictures!!

Xo's Emily.
