The Beauty Collective - The Simply Essential - Pro Series

So I picked up some really good makeup brushes the other day, to be honest this was overdue as my other makeup brushes have been with me for more than 4 years which in the makeup world is an abomination to keep makeup brushes for that long especially for someone who has acne prone skin like mine. Don't get me wrong I cleaned my old makeup brushes regularly but they do recommend changing up your make tools ever 2-3 years.

So that said these where a good cheaper alternative to some of the brushes we see out there, I mean to be honest I don't have the heart to pay more than £30 for makeup tools.

I got mine at TK Max for £19.99,

This brush set is the beauty collective - Simply Essential range. It comes with 10 brushes:

• F1-Flat Top Kabuki Brush
• F2 - Round Kabuki Brush
• F3 - Angled KabukiBrush
• F4 - Tapered Kabuki Brush
• F5 - Angled Flat Kabuki Brush
• F6- Flat concealer Brush
• F7 - Precision Concealer Brush
• F8 - Small Highlighter Brush
• FE1 - Face and Eye Blender Brush
• FE2- Angled Blender Brush

Until the next one

It's not the background, it's the mind!

People who know me personally know that I am the world's most quiet and softly spoken individual. I don't make it a habit to speak much, only when I need to I speak and I hate shouting. One day I will give my testimony.
I started this blog because I wanted people to know that even the quiet ones can be important, good standing people in society. My mother and my inspiration always tells me that I'm a fighter and reminds me of where I came from compared to the woman I am today. I always do my best to thank God for blessing me with great parents, siblings and relatives and for cultivating me. I'm not perfect but a work in progress master piece.

So that said today's post is a reminder and I'm sure you have heard this - It's not where you are coming from but where you are going that matters.
Sometimes we get so caught up about our past and we allow that to limit ourselves. We base our future on the things we have done, accomplished etc.
For example someone might have not necessarily attended the world's best University, heck the school did not make the top 100, however they graduated with a really good degree and have amazing skills. They see a job advertised for a top law firm, they read the job spec and they see they have the skill set to do the job. Now they hear that there are a lot of people from Cambridge/Oxford University applying for the same job, so because of that they automatically disqualify themselves and do not apply.

If that is you, I have a question: Who told you, you are not qualified for this job? Just because someone went to a russell group University does not make them more qualified than you. They might have had the brains to get into a top university, but brains does not mean they have the right attitude or skill set to do the job. Be brave and put yourself out there, you never know what the outcome will be. Never label your self a failure because of your background, be bold and fight for your position. Prayer, Attitude, Application of knowledge (action) and Self belief beats a degree at a top university/ private education.

So go for it, YES YOU CAN!!!!!

Until the next one
