The Easy Pre Party Skincare Pick Me Up


EASY PRE PARTY SKINCARE

Welcome to one of the busiest times of the year – between stressing out over work, party outfits, and which colour scarf your aunt Mabel might appreciate most in her stocking, the next biggest stressor is looking mildly presentable for the many Christmas parties in our calendars – some we look forward to, others, well let’s just say they’re a little more obligatory… This busy schedule coupled with pre Christmas stress often leaves us little time to get ready.

One thing I’ve found to be super important during this time of the year is a good consistent skincare routine. Before getting ready to apply makeup, I always make sure I take a few minutes to prep my face, it’s a minimal routine to avoid being too time consuming, but is something that makes my makeup application look better with way less effort and means I’m not applying makeup on top of an unclean face (reducing the risk of break outs because let’s face it we have enough problems with all the food at this time of year!). 

I always start by tying my hair back and removing any makeup that might already be on my face. Depending on how much makeup I’m already wearing I’ll either use the Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes* or Micellar Cleansing Water*. I personally prefer the cleansing water if I’m already wearing heavy eye makeup. Both of these remove makeup quickly and without being too drying.

After my face is free from makeup, I massage the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel in to my skin to deep cleanse and nourish my skin. It’s not an overly time consuming step but makes all the difference to my skins radiance. Once I’ve finished cleansing I quickly add a hefty dose of moisturiser to my skin using the Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado and the Skin Rescuer. These not only hydrate and nourish my skin (helping with the longevity of products to follow), but help my makeup to glide on and sit better.

It’s such a simple set of steps to add in to my getting ready routine, but so worth it as they really help to perk up my skin after a long day. It’s also a pretty short routine and works well post party too, cleansing and hydrating the skin thoroughly, avoiding a sever case of “hangover face”… *shudders*.

      Greetings to the general public, i want to inform the public how i was cured of HERPES Simplex Virus by a man called Dr Azuka. i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedy on HERPES and i saw comment of people talking about how Dr Azuka cured them. I was scared because i never believed in the Internet but i was convince to give him a try because i was having no hope of been cured of HERPES so i decided to contact him on his email that was listed on the comment ( Dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com ) i searched his email on net and i saw a lot of people testifying about his goodness. when i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without problem, my HERPES result came out negative. I pray for you Dr Azuka God will give you everlasting life, you shall not die before your time for being a sincere and great man. Am so happy, you can also contact him if you have any problem Email : DR.AZUKASOLUTIONHOME@GMAIL.COM

      DR AZUKA CAN AS WELL CURE THE FOLLOWING DISEASE:-
      1. HIV/AIDS
      2. HERPES
      3. CANCER
      4. ALS

    Love seeing you talk about Simple products, I love when you talk about high end products as well but it's nice to change it up and chat about more affordable skincare too. I use the Micellar Wipes and I think they're actually so much more gentle than the OG Simple wipes, loving them lately!

Thank you Dr. Aluta for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact traditionalspellhospital@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.

    i want to use these medium to thank Dr Genesis for how he helped me cured my herpes.
    I was diagnosed of Cancer in 2015 and the doctor said i have less than a year to live.i wept day and night and went from one hospital to another still no cure.i almost gave up until i met a post online about Doc Genesis and how he has helped many people,so without wasting time i contacted him and he demanded for some amount of money from me. at first i thought it was scam but sent him the money since i have nothing to loose. to my surprise he sent me the medicine and i took it for 3weeks after that i went back to the hospital for check up i was totally healed.its a miracle so if you having herpes i advise you contact Dr Genesis he has cure to any kind of herpes. his mail is templeofanswers@gmail.com
    Thank you Doc and i promise i will continue posting of your good work.

    I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all HIV patient in the world i never believed that there could be any complete cure for HIV or any cure for HIV,i saw people’s testimony on blog sites of how DR Bello prepare herbal cure and brought them back to life again. i had to try it too. and you can,t believe that in just 7 days i started using his herbal medicine. and all my pains stop gradually and i had to leave without the antiretroviral therapy which my medical doctor gave to me. i went to the hospital to do a checkup, the result came out and i tested HIV NEGATIVE. I'm sharing this with you, because i believe there's someone out here who also desire to have this cure. feel free and contact Dr Bello, delay in treatment leads to death. contact him through his WHATS-APP NUMBER +2348147271779, or contact him via email: bellospelltemple@gmail.com,Good luck

    I am Kate Hardy From USA
    It is no longer news that the Acquired immune deficiency syndrome Herpes Virus is increasing by the day. The fear is that many people living with the sickness are scared of saying it because of the stigma that comes along with it.I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the voodoo world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Voodoo Priests had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Voodoo Priest), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions.
    Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that " I am NEGATIVE".
    You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Voodoo Priest via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348063930531 He will help you and his herb medication is sure.
    he has the cure on all this disease as he told me and it listed.

    PREGNANCY.
    EPILEPSY.
    GENPILENCIN.
    HIV AIDS.
