Smokey Eye And A Red Lip

Well hello lovelies.. Just thought I’d do a quick product list today for this look I did last week..



I was always told ‘you should only go bold with either the eyes or the lips, never both’ but I think it’s safe to say those days are long gone. Nowadays the crazier, the better. Since graduating from beauty college last October I have become more and more interested in the field of make up. I’ve always been a creative person and I find myself being more drawn to a career where I can express myself in my work on a daily basis and I find make up is perfect for this. With thousands of different products, techniques and artists bringing new ideas to the table everyday the sky really is the limit. Make up is becoming bigger and bigger every year.

As I’m still learning there are still certain things I can’t yet do and some techniques I need to perfect but with every day of practice more and more progress is made and it’s so nice to be able to look back on past pictures and see how I’ve improved. All the feedback I receive is greatly appreciated and all contributes to me improving on my skills.

This was my first time properly trying a smokey eye and I was just happy I didn’t end up with black eyeshadow all over my face to be honest! In short, I would like to thank the people who give me daily support and can understand what it’s like for someone starting out in the industry. I’m still new to blogging but I hope to keep you all someway entertained and I appreciate the ongoing support and love!

Sosu Lashes and Limited Edition Lash Case

Hello lovelies! This week I'm going to do the long awaited review of the Sosu Lashes I picked up and her new limited edition lash case. I've been trying out these lashes for months now and if you follow me on Instagram i'm sure you'll know they've made a few appearances there. I was a little late to catch on to the Sosueme trend, I actually didn't even try out her lashes until she released her 'Primark Exclusive' range and even then I only bought one pair in case I didn't like them.  I've never been much of a false lash person for the simple fact that I could not apply them, I literally could NOT do it. I either ended up with the lash stuck pretty much everywhere it shouldn't have been or couldn't get them to stick at all. The only false lashes I could apply myself were the Primark individual lashes so when I bought a pair of her 'Belle' lashes from Primark I wasn't very hopeful but I still wanted to see what all the hype...

Self Love...

In light of it being World Mental Health Awareness Day (October 10th) I wanted touch on one subject in particular that I have been trying to teach myself in recent months: SELF LOVE! In the past few years I have personally struggled with depression and anxiety and in order to help myself cope I use various coping mechanisms that I have picked up during the years. Over time I worked out what made me feel better and what triggered my anxiety so I was more capable of handling a problem should it arise but I wasn’t always able to do this on my own. I picked up several coping mechanisms through mindfulness groups and counselling, if those services weren’t available to me it would have been a lot harder for me to understand what exactly was happening within myself. One thing that you will always hear about in relation to mental health awareness will be self love. Self love is a very important part of the process in making yourself feel better or more able to cope. This was a concept...

Skincare - The Acids

Hello Lovelies! This week my blogpost is going to be based around skincare. If you read my Skincare 101 blog a couple of months ago you will know that I talked about cosmeceutical products, more specifically the differences between them and normal cosmetics. Cosmeceuticals are basically a mix of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. They often contain ‘active’ ingredients which can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin therefore they are more beneficial to your skin than normal cosmetics you may find in a pharmacy or supermarket. Among the long list of ‘active’ ingredients you may find in cosmeceuticals, the word acid may come up quite frequently. Cosmeceuticals can contain one or more acid at a time such as glycolic acid, lactic acid or azelaic acid and so on. These are all ‘active’ ingredients as they penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and they all have different uses and benefits for different skin types. Products from brands such as Image Skincare, Nip and F...
