Welcome back to my blog, as I posted earlier I have been getting lots of mail and messages about what I am using on my skin and how do I keep a glow on my skin despite been 5 months pregnant. Well been honest it's all down to having a very good skincare routine and diet, if I slip up at all with either my skin will show it very quickly. Believe me there is days I don't feel like leaving the house as I feel so bad and my skin can be very dull and tired looking but with a little help ( a lot some days ) from some of my must have products I paint up my face and face the world. The first few months of my pregnancy I was so sick and it was such a chore to keep up my skincare routine because believe me all I wanted to do was stay in bed . In relation to fashion I found it really hard to adjust to in the beginning and been so used to dressing my figure to a certain shape and having to adjust that wasn't easy to accept but I feel I have found a way around it all now. I plan my outfits the evening before if I am working the next day as it's easier to know what you are putting on in the morning. I make an effort to dress up most days as it helps me feel better and I always do my hair and makeup. I don't wear a uniform to work as I like to dress in nice clothes. I haven't really bought much maternity clothes except jeans and a couple of dresses but everything else is regular fashion as I have to say maternity style is not fashionable at all and I just couldn't wear it. I just have went up a size in most tops to accommodate my bump and yes I still wear heels as I can't do flats.
Back to my skincare and makeup products
My own skin got quiet dehydrated being pregnant despite drinking loads of water so I adjusted my products to suit this. For cleansing my skin I use the Liz Earl hot cloth cleanser which is amazing and keeps my skin hydrated not like most foaming cleansers can be drying. For my serum I use No 7 Advanced protect and perfect morning and evening. I apply this under my moisturiser and it leaves my skin smooth and radiant and works on any visible fine lines and wrinkles to keep them at bay. 
As my daily moisturiser I use Origins Ginzing moisturiser, any one who is a regular to my page will see I post a lot about this product as it's super for its radiance properties. If I want my skin to really glow I use my Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream but not everyday as it's pricey at €90 a jar. 
I really pay attention to my eye area and use my all time favourite eye cream that I will never be with out my Lancome Absolute Precious cells eye cream another pricy products at €82 but well worth it.
For my night cream I mix between Lancome Precious cells night cream and the Bionic cream from Neostrata another Hugh favourite of mine. I also exfoliate my skin twice a week and use a hydration mask that I usually leave on over night once a week, so as you can see I use a lot of products and it's by no mean cheap to keep all these products replenished and that's before my makeup bag but being in the industry I work in its a must especially as I am a Beauty Facialist. On my body I use the Clarins Tonic Oil to keep my skin hydrated and firm. I still wear tan usually go between Cocoa Brown and He shi tan. I wouldn't use spray tan as I am not a fan of it I have used it in the past but it's way to drying on the skin despite w hat body cream you use even all the new brands that claim to hydrate your skin they don't so I steer clear.
Makeup Products
I have a few different foundations on the go, Estée Lauder Double Wear light, Lancome Teint Miracle and Buff foundation. I recently just started using this foundation and I really like its staying power and luminousity. Under my foundation I always apply Mac Strobe Cream to give my skin a glow and I set my makeup with Mac powder. All the rest of my makeup products are similar to what I normally use. I have also added some Young Blood and Physicians Formula products to my makeup bag also.
I hope this has answered some of your questions in relation to what products I use but remember everyone's skin is different and will have different needs this is just what suits me. I also do skin consultations so don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for reading this and following my page
Have a great weekend
