Slight change to my usual posts but still completely relevant to my blog! I posted a while ago a post called When The Nerves Kick In which was all related to my dance exams at the time and how nerves can affect my dancing.

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
