Bath relaxation and swatches!

Hello ma'lovelys, last night I did something I hadn't done in a very long time - I had a pamper evening! Yes that's right ma'lovelys Bubbles-Candles-Music! 

I had the whole kit out, the bubble bath, bath bombs, bath salts, shower gel, shower cream, exfoliating gloves, bath scrub, face mask, face exfoliator, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, body moisturiser, fake tan, hand and nail cream, candles, cold drink and music.

I decided to treat myself and have the pamper session as I hadn't had one in ages and to just chill and relax after a long week, and I have to say it was a lovely evening indeed.

On another note here are the swatches I promised, of the products I brought in my last haul - 'Beauty Products Haul'.

Line Smoothing Concealer

Airbrush Concealer

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Beauty products haul!

Hello ma'lovelys, I recently went shopping to Debenhams and visited the Clinique counter. Lots of penny's were spent here, I can assure you! So I thought I would show you the items I brought.

Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion

This was a repurchase, it is a wonderful product which instantly reduces the appearance of red spots. I have been using this product for a while and it has been a god sent. I absolutely love this product, it clears up my spots really quickly and doesn't leave much of a scab/scar. I would definitely check this product out if you suffer with bad spots like me. 

Clinique - £17.00

Line Smoothing Concealer

This has been the first time using this product and I have to say i'm quite impressed. It really covers my spots, especially the red ones and leaves my skin looking flawless as it is a smoothing liquid concealer. I brought this product in the shade 02 light; although this is the lightest shade it comes in, it is still quite dark for my fair skin. 

Clinique - £15.00

Airbrush Concealer

I had heard some really good reviews about this product, so I decide to give it a whirl. I got this in the shade 01 fair, and surprisingly it really suites my skin colour as normally I have a hard time to find a shade to match my skin tone. I use this concealer under my eyes as it illuminates my skin and gets rid of any dark circles and makes my eyes appear brighter. 

Clinique - £17.00

After making these purchases I was handed a free gift from Clinique for spending a certain amount of money. The products in this gift were - Liquid Facial Soap, Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad in strawberry fudge duo, Butter Shine Lipstick in pink-a-boo, Repair-wear laser focus and High Impact Mascara in 01 Black.

Hope you liked today's post, feel free to comment below :)

Update on 6 week challenge!

Hello ma'lovelys, sorry this post is a bit late but I have been helping my boyfriend move house and have not had any access to the internet until today.

This is my update for my 6 week challenge!

So first of all I will show you my development logs for last week.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks	Total
Monday	1213(cal)	260(cal)	350(cal)	96(cal)	1919(cal)
Tuesday	350(cal)	500(cal)	500(cal)	276(cal)	1626(cal)

	Time

Tuesday	35 mins
Wednesday	1 hour
Thursday	35 mins
Friday	1 hour
Saturday	45 mins
Sunday	Rest day
Total Mins	4.5 hours

So for an overview, my calorie counting was far more difficult than I thought it would be. Its hard to find the right balance of food to eat during each day. My goal for eating was to have 1500 calories a day, however I went over my limit quite a few times. 

As for exercise I managed to do a little more than I expected to do. My goal for exercise was to do 25 minutes a day, however on my first day my boyfriend sneakily got me to do 35 mins by him monitoring me with a timer. This proved to myself that I was cable of doing more exercises than I thought. I did struggle with the motivation to start doing exercise each day, however when I was a few minutes in I was fine and able to push myself to do more.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now here are my development logs for this week so far.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks	Total
Monday	100 (cal)	500 (cal)	515 (cal)	20(cal)	1135(cal)
