About Me

My photo
I’m all or nothing with my Make-up, full on foundation, eyeliner, lots of lashes and bright lippy.... Barely there natural, blue eyes, blonde hair. Colours, vibrant, expression of our own individuality. Beauty is skin deep, a lot can be said for beauty that covers up the ugly on the inside.

My new MUST HAVE product!



Ok, so my new wonder product was a gift for my 29th Birthday, I have looked at these products before but have never actually tried them due to the price tag but have always heard nothing but good reviews on the range. If I'm going to splash on skincare my usual fav is Estee Lauder but I think I most defiantly have been converted with only two days use of this new little miracle worker!




Liz Earle, Cleanse and Polish! So what is so special about this product. Well with this you get a bottle of cleansing cream and a pure muslin cloth. The cleanser is a thick cream which you apply to DRY skin (being an ex beauty therapist I always use my facial massage technique to apply my cleanser, but light upwards strokes, as to not drag the skin will be fine), once fully massage into skin you then fill a basin with hot water, place your muslin cloth in the water and use this to remove the product, rinse cloth and repeat until all signs of makeup has disappeared, thoroughly rinse cloth and the splash face with cold water to close pores. The cleanser removes all traces of dirt, oil and makeup and the muslin cloth provides a light exfoliation. I can say even after two uses my face has NEVER felt cleaner or softer, this product is pure perfection in a bottle! As for the long term results of this product I cant comment but I will def do an update after six weeks of use, but for me to be converted so quickly this product must be good. Once you have fully cleansed your skin, follow with your favourite night or day cream, at night mine is followed by Estee Lauder Advanced night repair serum and then one pump of Ren Omega 3 Serum, during the day it is followed by whatever day cream I an using at the time, but remember to ensure your day cream contains at least an spf of 15!




Definitely a product to try! Enjoy!

Minx Nails - the latest must have fashion accessory?


Well... Being one that usually knows everything nails.. I was surprised to find I actually don't, apparently the new Minx Nail Transfers are the latest must have fashion accessory... with thanks to my little sis Abbie, how did these pass me by?


With hundreds of designs there is one for everyone... Cant give more detail as don't know much about these myself but thought they were worth a mention, will def be getting myself online to purchase some. Link to website below.


Eyeko eyeshadow tin


Another diamond find..... I have had this eyeshadow tin for nearly two years now and was thinking about my all time fav eyeshadows, usually top of my 'must have' list would be the Barry M Dazzel Dust in Charcol (these pots last a lifetime, def worth a buy) but after thinking what I use on a daily basis I think I need to give the Eyeko Eyeshadow tin some love. Again another find at the clothes show (always a good place to find brands you wouldn't usually pick up on a regular shopping trip), the tin is a mix of cool blues, vibrant purples, smoky greys and strong blacks, right up my street. When Purchased the tin does come with Eyeko Magic liquid eyeliner (not pictured), which is clear and can be used with the shadows giving this product a two in one value. This did run out about three months after purchase, but gave a softer liner look, rather than the harsh look liquid liner can sometimes give.. The colours are long lasting vibrant (the purple is one of my favs) and can be built up for a bright evening look.


I think I purchased this tin for around £5, definitely a great buy, two years down the line my daily use has hardly made a dent on the tin. I believe these tins were available from Asos at £3.50 a tin and I think I have seen them stocked at Superdrug..... I will be stocking up at the clothes show this year!
