Hairspray Recommendation!
Unpacking all of my makeup, jewellery and hair stuff from last weekend's competition, I realised that I had written a blog about makeup, one about the competition etc, but nothing about my hair.

Ballroom Dance Competition Makeup
I've mentioned in a blog previously that just one element of dancing is looking the part. The tan, the dresses, the shoes, the hair, the bling, the makeup!!

What????? I have nothing for you to wear! For his school disco … Continue reading Halloween makeup!

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
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!
