Today's post is another makeup video. Occasionally, if I am in a rush or don't have too much to do that day or my brushes are drying, I like to apply my makeup with my hands and fingers. I find that this gives me a very natural finish and makes me think carefully about colour... Continue Reading →
Travel makeup
This weekend, there is a fair amount of travelling around. I love travelling and exploring, but I am someone who 100% needs a plan in order to combat and manage anxiety. It is Mr J's birthday on Monday, so on Thursday we drove to South Wales for a birthday meal with his family and then... Continue Reading →
My makeup today – 10th Feb 2019

Therefore, the fact that... Continue Reading →
One palette: three January looks
So, I am known amongst my friends as a bit of a make-up addict. To the extent that for Christmas, two people INDEPENDENTLY bought me a rotating cosmetics holder. Alarmingly, even after filling both of them up, there are still at least two drawers left with make up in them! However, in the spirit of... Continue Reading →
January Smoky Winter Eye Look
If, like me, you are obsessed with make-up, then you are constantly looking for new ideas and colours to try. I spend a silly amount of time reading beauty blogs, checking out different products on review sites and watching endless youtube reviews and tutorials. I also spend a great deal of time each day on... Continue Reading →
