I 've had my eye on these facial cleansing bruhses ever since they came about a few years ago now, and recently I've been saying how I've been lacking on that secondary stage of cleaning. I'm great and cleansing my face to remove all my make-up and grub of the day, but sometimes I feel like I need a second cleanse, just to ensure my skin is super squeaky clean. Of course, when Magnitone London offered to send me one of their Limited Edition Barefaced Cleansing and Toning Brush*, I thought Christmas had come early.

My new favourite moisturiser

I'm not one to spend a lot on skincare. In fact, I try to avoid the high end brands. Currently the only slightly pricier items I have in my skincare collection is the Pixi Cleansing Balm (£18), and the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (£15) which I asked for as a gift. Looking at these now, they're not the most expensive out there, but for a student on a budget, they're not your typical Garnier Cleansing Water that will cost you a fiver and last you a lifetime.

My Bedside Essentials

Over time I've found a little selection of products and must-haves accumulate on my bedside table. I love have a routine at night, just like my skincare routine before I shower at night, I like having a little 'pre-sleep' routine, anyone else? These are my top 3 products right now..

The Ordinary Skincare

 It wasn't going to be long before I picked up some of The Ordinary's skincare. It's been raved about so much on the blogosphere since the big release, so when I fancied a bit of a beauty haul on asos I had a look at what was still in stock and picked up the Azelaic Acid Suspension to brighten and even skintone, and the High Adherence Silicone Primer to use before applying my makeup.

Pixi Nourishing Cleansing Balm

My skin was getting fed up of not being treated right after wearing make-up every day, and after having my eye on various cleansing balms for a while, I decided to pick up the Pixi Cleansing Balm. This Balm-to-Oil cleanser melts away makeup, removes impurities and leaves my skin feeling squeeky clean.
