Ballroom and Latin dancing requires a certain image on the dance floor, which I have previously mentioned in a post about It’s the Finals countdown!!!! The hair, makeup, crystals, dresses and so on....but this all starts in the week prior to the competition day with the fake tan!

I couldn't help it....I had to get it....despite having ordered the Younique 3D lashes (review will be on soon)...I had to buy the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.   In my defence, I had a gift card for Debenhams soooooo.......  😛 The Better Than Sex Mascara Hourglass-Shaped Brush was designed after discovering the bust-waist-hip … Continue reading Too Faced…Better Than Sex Mascara

Bellapierre Shimmer Powders

January 2, 201721 Comments

In my makeup draw I have makeup that I haven't really used but bought thinking I would use it....I used to do that a lot!  The problem with that is makeup does have an expiry date from when you open it so it leads to a lot of wastage.  I have a stack of 9 … Continue reading Bellapierre Shimmer Powders

December 31, 2016December 31, 20163 Comments

2016...another year which has flown by.  I think the older you get, the faster time flies, add children into that mix and it flies even faster watching them grow from babies to toddlers to little people and now to pre-teen and teen as I'm currently experiencing with my boys reaching 11 and 13...no idea where … Continue reading 2016…A Review, with a few hours to go!
