Trying out Luxury make-up!!

 

Barry M and Dior Products
used for my everyday makeup
(please see below the before and after)

So this winter season I have been doing some makeup shopping as most of my makeup had expired. This time around I wanted to try out popular and luxurious brands, so popped by the Dior counter at a department store and bought the Forever Natural Bronze to use as an everyday powder instead of bronzer. I must say the customer service was exceptional and lets just say I scored a few samples (Miss Dior Perfume, Anti ageing serum and Foundation) which I really loved. My favourite product are hands down the foundation, bronze powder and the serum. I also order a new lip liner from Barry M cosmetics in the colour Chocolate and let's just say it has become part of my everyday look - one of my favourite products and best purchase. 

Forever Natural bronze - colour 08

WHAT'S IN MY MAKEUP BAG? | FAVOURITE MAKEUP PRODUCTS

 

Hi Everyone,

Today's post is all about makeup, with today's society and influence of social media platforms we have all become extreme consumers and hoarders of makeup we never use. When the restrictions were put in place most of us went months without wearing any makeup and now that everything is opening up again it's time to dust of those makeup draws. The first thing I would recommend you do it to throw away anything you have had for over 12-18 months - trust me you do not want to use that on your face (I'm speaking from experience here). Next is to sit down, evaluate and really truly ask yourself what do you really use? Why did you buy all of that makeup? Do you need all of it?

I asked myself those questions and realised the only reason why I had a huge collection (in my definition) was purely based on following trends and wanting to say "yes" I have that lipstick. So I took time to go through my make up bag and brought it down to what I need and anything that was old went straight to the bin!

I am not going to lie, it was painful but it was needed. Holding on to stuff that you do not need is a waste of space (literally) and a waste of money. There is no value in an item you do not use!

With that said if you are nosey and want to see what I keep in my makeup bag or how I do my natural no makeup look - click on the below links

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 Hi All,

I hope you have had a good Christmas and are taking time out to rest. Burnout is very real so make sure you are taking good care o yourself. 2020 has been a challenging year which has changed all our lives and I'm pretty sure for most of us has put things into perspective.

As we enter 2021, I pray to Almighty God that this coming new year we see miracles, we have hope and faith that will move mountains, that we see light in all areas of our lives. In Jesus name Amen

Happy New Year!

Until the next one

Hi All,

I hope all your Christmas prep is going according to plan and if you are still doing Christmas shopping - do not be ashamed as you are not alone. One thing I always struggle with year after year and that is Christmas present wrapping. 

However to resolve that this year I have taken the time out to research the best way to wrap presents and found a few article and tutorial. The most useful was the tutorial form - City Line talk show. They cover wrapping normal gifts and awkward shaped presents. 

Enjoy!

Until the next one

 Hello all,

I went Christmas shopping and found some lovely stocking filler finds from Primark. I sincerely love primary as they have a variety of stuff for all ages at affordable prices and not to mention they always do their best to be within the trend. 

With that being said, I found two gorgeous, sparkly hair accessories that are great stocking fillers for those of us who love trying out new hairstyles all under £10. 

Until next one

It's finally that time of the year, the most fun - wonderful time of the year. 

As the lockdown has been lifted and the shops have now reopened, its time to do some Christmas shopping and get creative with gifts for our loved ones. Personally I love shopping, I love the vision of possibilities it gives when you look at an item and visualize how it will look or help you or the person you are buying for. As convenient as online shopping is, personally I prefer going to actual shops and having the full shopping experience which includes a hot chocolate or a mocha with foam on the top and a ginger bread biscuit. 

So this Year I have decided to do a series on the blog on Christmas prep and the different little gifts that are cost effective and for Christmas stocking fillers.

With that said today's blog post is on a fantastic product that I believe will be the perfect stocking filler for all women among other things,

Olay Total Effects 7 in One - Night Firming Moisturiser cream. 

This cream is fantastic for maintaining moisture during the night while you sleep. The consistency of the cream is very thick and especially in the winter months it is very much needed. You can purchase this product at your local beauty store. I bought mine at Superdrug (cannot remember the exact price) and it was less than £10.

Until the next one
