What a day!  A very long and tiring day but nothing compares to it! The mere chance of dancing in such an elegant ballroom proves to me I have the best hobby!

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!
