Halloween makeup!

October 31, 2016November 1, 20161 Comment

My 10 year old, after saying he didn't want to go Trick or Treating this year because of the hype and scare mongering with clowns, came home from school at 3.30pm saying 'Mum, can I go Trick of Treating at 5?'     What?????  I have nothing for you to wear!  For his school disco … Continue reading Halloween makeup!

Halloween makeup trial!

Do you wanna play a game???????.........well actually....do you want to train for 2 hours at the gym on Halloween night is more the question!!   Not to me obviously....I'll just put that out there!  My sister Sarah trains a heck of a lot and Monday night she has a 2 hour training session in fancy … Continue reading Halloween makeup trial!

A quick review!

October 28, 2016October 28, 2016Leave a comment

I've mentioned a few times that I have dry skin under my eyes.....I also don't tend to go to bed early and always look tired around my eyes if I've been lazy and not applied my eye cream before bed! There is one product that I only buy as a real treat but my gosh … Continue reading A quick review!

Skincare…My Nighttime routine

October 28, 2016October 28, 20165 Comments

Nighttime skincare is so important as the skin repairs itself while you sleep.  The most vital step is makeup removal.  No matter how tired I am, the one thing I ALWAYS do is remove my makeup!   Years ago, I didn't really care and would frequently go to bed with a face full of makeup, … Continue reading Skincare…My Nighttime routine

My ‘Wishlist’ Foundation

October 26, 2016October 26, 20161 Comment

I've tried so many foundations!  Some I've thought were 'ok', some were rubbish!  Some however, I've loved and have either bought or would love to buy! My all time favourite purchase has to be Estēe Lauder's Double Wear for 2 reasons...coverage and long-wear!   I have only started using setting powders in the last year … Continue reading My ‘Wishlist’ Foundation

Layering Skin care…my morning routine!

October 25, 2016October 25, 20162 Comments

Layering skin care is something I like to do as I can chose products that will target different concerns rather than choosing one.  My skin type is combination / oily and I suffer with large pores, dry skin under my eyes and also fine lines as well as slight hormone related acne on my chin … Continue reading Layering Skin care…my morning routine!

It’s the Finals countdown!!!!

October 24, 20165 Comments

ISTD National Grand Finals that is! In the lead up to any dance competition there's a hype of what dances you've got, where you're dancing, making sure you've got enough lessons booked in and making every effort to dance as much as possible!  Add to that the necessities of costumes, shoes, tan, make up, hair style, … Continue reading It’s the Finals countdown!!!!

Evening makeup look

October 23, 2016October 24, 2016Leave a comment

I like to have as much time as I can to get ready for a night out so that I can have a play with colours and decide what makeup I want to use.  The look in this blog was done with the type of event I was going to in mind.  Heading to the … Continue reading Evening makeup look

Quick Daytime Makeup

October 21, 2016October 21, 201615 Comments

Heading for town during the day, looking like rubbish and not much time to sort it out!  This is pretty much what I use whenever I don't have much time but need to cover the redness and tiredness staring back at me in the mirror! After my skincare routine, finishing with Moisturiser, I apply a … Continue reading Quick Daytime Makeup

Make up brush cleaning….a little bit of OCD!

October 20, 2016October 20, 20169 Comments

I admit it!  I am a bit OCD when it comes to my brushes.  I never used to be, then I think I read something about how much bacteria is on your make up brushes and that soon sorted me out! Brushes and sponges will accumulate dead skin cells and bacteria - which without washing your … Continue reading Make up brush cleaning….a little bit of OCD!

S u n d a y - S k i n c a r e 😊 Sunday skincare for me is usually a lot more in depth than this as I like to take my time getting ready ... however I’m feeling a bit rubbish today and slept in late so given I need to pop out this is a quicker routine. 🥰 💖 @oskiaskincare Renaissance Cleansing Gel (Cannot day how much I love this!) 💖 💖 @deciem NIOD SDSM 💖 💖 @balancemebeauty Wonder Eye Cream (gifted by @marksandspencerbeautypr advent calendar) 💖 💖 @deciem The Ordinary Azelaic Acid (I swear this has changed my skin!) 💖 💖 @cliniqueuk Moisture Surge & Fresh Pressed Vitamin C (another game changer!) 💖 💖 @thebodyshop Skin Defence SPF50 (this is now empty) 💖 What does your Sunday Skincare routine look like? 💋 • • • #skincare #skincareobsessed #makeupisonlyasgoodastheskinunderneath #oskia #niod #deciem #deciemchatroom #balanceme #clinique #thebodyshop #amroutine #sundayskincare #loveyourskin #skincareroutine #beauty #ukblog #skinprotection #spf #morningskincare #365inskincare #instaskin #beautyblog #30plusblogs #30pluslovers #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #beautyandtheballroom

C h a l l e n g e - d a y 5 ✅ On my insta-stories I asked yesterday whether I should do a natural or bold look today for the eye makeup only challenge by @deciemchatroom and the majority said Natural but quite a few people also said Bold so I thought I’d go from AM to PM after my previous AM post, here’s my PM post (I’d definitely normally have foundation, bronzer and blusher on with this look!!) No filter used and taken in front of my patio doors for the last bit of natural light!! 🙈 • • • #skin #loveyourskin #deciemchatroom #deciemchatroomchallenge #selfie #nofilter #makeup #nomakeupchallenge #nomakeupmakeup #eyemakeuponly #violetvoss #urbandecayrazorsharpeyeliner #discoverunder5k #30pluslovers #30plusskin #violetvossberryburst #amtopmmakeup #beautybloggersuk #makeupisonlyasgoodastheskinunderneath #makeupartist #bbloggersuk #ukblogger #beautybloggersuk #beautyandtheballroom
C h a l l e n g e - D a y 5 ✅ The last day of the @deciemchatroom #deciemchatroomchallenge is here with no other makeup than eye makeup. On my stories most people voted for a natural look for today but as a few also said bold, I’m thinking of adapting this later 😋 I’m not one for showing off my skin regularly so this challenge has been fun as I’d usually have full makeup on to post on Instagram, unless in a before v after photo. Do you wear foundation every day? 🤗 • • • #deciemchatroom #deciemchatroomchallenge #nomakeupmakeup #nomakeupchallenge #justeyemakeup #eyemakeup #lookoftheday #makeupoftheday #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #loveyourskin #makeupisonlyasgoodastheskinunderneath #bblogger #beautyblog #30pluslovers #30plusskin #30plusblogs #ukblogger #bloggers #beautybloggersuk #beautyandtheballroom
