Today is my first day back to work after two lovely weeks off over Christmas. While I was on my annual leave I didn’t really wear much make up, especially as a lot of the time I was at home doing nothing. It was nice to give my skin bit of a break for a while, but I have missed wearing make up and I’m looking forward to wearing some again this week!
I don’t want to go crazy on the makeup front, especially as I haven’t worn some for a while so I’m just going to be wearing a few current makeup favourites. I’m starting with my current favourite foundations, Dior’s Star. It gives my skin an amazing glowy look which I’ve not found in the past with other foundations, and then I’ll use my Dior Star Concealor to cover up my dark circles and any blemishes. To colour in my eyebrows I’ll be using my Naked Basics Palette using the shade ‘Faint’ which matches my eyebrows perfectly, giving them a more defined look, and then I’ll use my Rimmel London Scanadleyes Mascara on my lashes. To give my cheeks a bit of colour I’ll be using Benefit’s Hervana blusher, and as I’ve got quite into red lipstick lately I thought I’d wear Rimmel London’s Kate Moss lipstick in the shade ‘Kiss of Life’.
It’s quite a simple makeup look as I’ve lost a bit of my mojo with makeup lately, but I’m feeling rather adventurous about wearing red lipstick to work for a change! If you saw my blog post yesterday you’ll know that I’m trying to use more of my lipsticks this year, so why not start with my first day back at work! Are you back to work today? What makeup products will you be wearing?
I am forever buying new hair care products, or new shampoos to try out on my hair. It drives my poor boyfriend mad with the amount of bottles I have in our shower, all of which I need of course. I have quite dry hair, mostly because I’m a terrible person and use heat on…
Usually when I attend blogger events they’re based in London, so I was pretty excited when I was invited to an event last week that was pretty local to me. The lovely people over at Atelier Salon and Spa invited me and a few other local bloggers over for an evening of pampering and to take a…
With all the days getting darker quickly, and the nights getting colder, it only means one thing – It’s nearly Christmas! So for today’s NOTD post I decided on doing some festive nails as I’m finally getting into the Christmas spirit. On a recent trip to Superdrug I picked up some of the Barry M…
Recently I was invited back to Lush Luton for their summer beauty event. After having so much fun at their Valentine’s event a few months ago, I couldn’t wait to go back into Lush after hours to play with their products. The reason for the event, if you couldn’t guess, was to get to know more about…
Liz Earle is a brand I’ve constantly heard raved about in the blogosphere, especially for their Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. I’ve had the Cleanse & Polish on my wishlist for months but I’ve never got around to trying out a Liz Earle product, so when I was contacted to try out the…

So when She Said Beauty said they were stopping their monthly boxes…
