My Makeup, My Mask

So it is currently 2:30am and I am wide awake, I have been struggling with life the past few days and that has been topped off by a really rough night and consequently I can’t sleep. I’m sure many of you can relate to this scenario but basically what I have been doing for the past few hours is dwelling on the things that make me miserable. This has promoted this post.

This is probably the most real thing I have ever written and I am doing it for a kind of therapy for myself I guess. What I want to talk about is a question I am asked all the time “why do you always wear makeup?”

It is a reasonable question I will put full face of make up on first thing in the morning even if I have no intention of going anywhere. I do it for 3 reasons really.

• This one is pretty simple I do enjoy wearing makeup and creating new looks I can’t deny it at all it is one of my passions.
• This is where I start to get a bit deeper. I hate my body. Hate, hate, hate it. There’s nothing I really like. On good days I like my bum but other than that no. I have huge body confidence issues and it’s not something I can really seem to get past even though I can fake the fact I’m “happy” with myself pretty well. So in my brain I think that “well if I can make my face look nice maybe no one will notice the rest.”
• And this is the bit where I am going to get really real with you all. I know who I am as a person on the inside; I am good, kind, loyal and caring. On my good days I think that that is ok and it is enough. And on my bad days I don’t know who I’m trying to kid. This has led to me having major confidence and self-esteem issues that the people close to me don’t even really know about. This is where the makeup comes in. Makeup is my mask. When I have my full face on I can fake that I am the strong, confident woman that I am so desperate to be. Without it I am quite honestly an insecure mess. What no one really knows about me is that you can tell how I am feeling based on my makeup. If I am having a bad day and I feel vulnerable and insecure I will have a full on glam makeup, if I’m feeling better about life I will be wearing something much more natural. It is a very strange thing that even I don’t understand but wearing makeup helps me at least pretend that I’m ok. It’s a struggle I guess but I am working on it and I hope that one day the person I am inside will be enough but until I reach that point I have my lipstick security blanket to hand.

Like I said at the start I am kind of writing this for my own benefit as a type of therapy. You know it’s better on a page than in your head type thing – I will let you know how it goes with that. I don’t even know if anyone will read this, and if you do you might think I’m nuts. If you have stuck with me till the end and you can relate then I hope maybe in some way has touched you.

My Favourite Body Products….

This post is something about my favourite body products which is something that I haven’t really dedicated a lot of time too yet, so I thought it was about time.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi collection – I first used these products a couple of years ago after my mum bought them me for a Christmas gift; they are part of the body exotics range and it includes a shower cream, body cream and body oil. What I love about these products is the scent. They have ingredients like Tahitian Monoi oil, Tiare flower, Coprah oil and Frangipani flowers so it is a real flowery-oriental scent. I love the way these products make my skin feel and coupled with the scent they just feel super luxurious. They are more on luxury end of the price scale starting at around £24.50 for the shower cream and body cream and £34.50 for the oil. However QVC often have sets on offer which you can find here.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Collection

Lush Pot O Gold Shower Jelly – This next product was a limited edition so it won’t be available at the moment. I love Lush as a brand and this is one of my favourite things they brought out. It smells like you wouldn’t believe it is amazing. Its ingredients include sweet orange oil, myrrh, fresh pineapple juice and vanilla absolute. I love the way it makes my skin feel so soft to the point where I don’t always feel like a need to moisturise after using it.

Lush Pot O Gold

Philosophy Amazing Grace Whipped Body Crème – this is a very thick and luxurious body cream which melts beautifully in to the skin. It has ingredients like shea butter, aloe, olive fruit extracts and antioxidants. The smell is not something that I am initially drawn to it is a classic floral scent with bergamot, muguet blossom and musk so it is a very classical scent. It is still a nice scent but not something I would normally pick but it leaves my skin feeling like silk so I don’t mind it at all. I can only find it in gift sets at the moment that you can get here from QVC starting from around £34.  

Philosophy Amazing Grace

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan Mousse – this is a fake tan that develops within an hour so I love that. It’s easy to apply and leave a beautiful golden tan. Another great thing about this product is that it doesn’t really have any scent at all so you don’t need to worry about that traditional digestivey scent that some fake tans leave. I normally get mine from Primark and it costs £6. 

Next up is just a body brush. Plain and simple body brushes that you can pick up from Boots or Superdrug. I use this as an exfoliator I haven’t really found any scrubs that give me the good exfoliation I want. Using this is also really good for keeping skin in good condition and increases lymphatic drainage. When using a body brush you should use long upward strokes towards the heart.

 Finally is this little gem I got from a souk in Morocco. It is pure argan oil infused with Jasmine. Initially I had bought this product for my hair but no matter how little I use it makes my hair super greasy. However I started using this on my skin before bed and I’ve never used anything like it. My skin still feels super soft and silky in the morning and throughout the following day. When this runs out I will be devastated and will probably plan another trip to Morocco.

Jasmine infused argan oil

So those are my favourite products for the body. Let me know what your favourties are.

Mindfulness…

I have talked briefly about how my life over the past few months have been somewhat turbulent and I noticed a change in myself; mainly in the fact that my confidence and self-esteem have taken a bit of a beating. During this period I was shopping with my family and my stepmother, who is a clinical psychologist, picked up a Mindfulness for Dummies book. This sparked a short conversation about the benefits of mindfulness, her being a chartered psychologist and me being a psychology student we have both seen a trend in the academic literature and a move towards mindfulness as emerging as a therapeutic tool. Saying that I really didn’t know too much about it so I purchased the book….

This is really where my journey into mindfulness begun. Since I started learning and practicing mindfulness (at least attempting to practice) I have noticed a change in myself, and I am not the only one. Friends and family have also noticed a positive change in me so I thought I would share with my experience so far with you. I just want to say before I start that I am by no means claiming to be an expert in this field, in fact I am quite the opposite. I am a novice who is learning as I go but I still wanted to share my journey with you.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is an ancient Buddhist practice that integrates mind and body. It encourages you to focus on the present moment in both an emotional and physical way and pay attention to it in a purposeful and non-judgemental manner. The idea of experiencing the present moment “non-judgmentally” did confuse me a bit at first, but after reading around what I have got from this is that you are to acknowledge and accept the feelings you have. So if you feel angry notice this feeling and accept it, anger is a normal and healthy emotion that we all feel from time to time. Does that make sense?

How to practice mindfulness?

The main way that I have been practicing mindfulness is through meditation. As I said I am still a novice so I use guided meditations. In the book Mindfulness for Dummies there is a link to website that has these meditations. Quick side note – I have found this book very useful, it makes what can be quite a confusing practice very accessible. In my research I have also found some online courses that I will link below I am going to try one out to see if it can improve my practice.

Benefits…

The practice of mindfulness has been scientifically researched a lot over the past few years and this research has highlighted numerous benefits for both mental and physical wellbeing. These benefits include; increased self-awareness, stress reduction, relief from depression, increased concentration, more compassionate, and pain relief amongst many more. One interesting study I read by Davidson and colleagues (2003) suggested that mindfulness can alter brain function and our immune system. This is where my psychology nerd self shall appear – the results of this study showed increased left-sided anterior activation in the brain of people who practiced regularly. This area of the brain is associated with positive behaviours which make us feel better. It also showed that people’s immune system was boosted. As I have said though there is a lot of academic research out there that is available this is one I just found particularly interesting.

The benefits of mindfulness are that noticeable it is now a recommended therapeutic method which is recommended by a number of mental health organisations including NICE and is used within the NHS.

So that’s what I know about mindfulness so far. I am going to link some useful websites that I have found at the end that might be slightly more coherent than I am. But how do I find this practice? To be honest it wasn’t easy at first. When you’re bogged down its hard to focus on just the present moment but while doing guided meditations I have learnt that it’s ok if your mind wanders. You just need to acknowledge the thought and let it go. I tend to meditate before bed and now it has become a routine. Instead of having a last look through Facebook or Instagram I will meditate and, if nothing else, I sleep better. I feel a lot calmer now and things that would have normally got me irate I can just let go of – which is normally very out of character for me. I don’t really know how to describe what it has done for me other than I just feel better and more content I guess.

So I will it there for now. When I start an online course I will keep you up dated on how that goes. I hope you have found this interesting and I made sense. It is definitely something I would recommend and I would love to hear any of your experiences of mindfulness

August 2015 Favourites

So the best way for me to get back into the swing of things is by doing my August Favourites. I’m just going to jump straight into it….

First up is Bareminerals Bare Skin Pure Bright Serum Foundation; long-winded name right? It is something that has been on the market for a little while so most of you will probably have already used or seen it around. It isn’t like the traditional bare minerals products as it is a liquid foundation. It has a very natural finish and I do need to powder when I use it just to take off any excess shine. What I love most about this product is that it is buildable so I only really need one foundation for day and night because I can tailor the coverage to what I feel I need for that particular day. It costs around £26 you can get it from any good department store with a Bareminerals counter or you can check it out here on they’re website. Oh, and it has also been featured on Glamour Magazine’s Beauty Power List.

The next item up is absolutely incredible. It is Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals Foil Finish. I have been loving Makeup Revolution as a brand for a while now, they are a highstreet brand but the quality that you get for your money is just outstanding. This product in particular is something I haven’t really seen before, it is a metallic cream eyeshadow that you mix with the primer that comes with it. It sort of reminds me of the Illamasqua molten metals but better – in my opinion. It gives the most insane foil finish on the eye but when it is used with the primer it does not move and has absolutely no creasing. It costs just £4 which is just incredible value for the quality of this product. You can get it from the Makeup Revolution Website or most Superdrug’s are now stockists. It comes in 4 shades, the shade I have is Rose Gold.

Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals Rose Gold

As you may have seen from other posts I am obsessed with nude lipstick and overlining. These next 2 products are something I have wanted to get my hands on for a while and I finally have them. They are both Mac products and they are Whirl lipliner and Velvet Teddy Matte lipstick. The combination of these 2 products gives me the perfect nude lip that I have been looking for. Whirl comes in at £12.50 and Velvet Teddy is £15.50 and you can pick them up from the Mac Website or any Mac counter.

Mac Velvet Teddy and Whirl

Next is Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia perfume. It is my favourite perfume for summer, it is a fruity fragrance with white florals and patchouli running through the heart and base notes. It is a really feminine fragrance which is really easy to wear during the summer months. This fragrance only comes in EDT which I normally stay away from but it still lasts beautifully on the skin. It starts at around £54 for a 50ml and you can get it at any good perfume shop or counter.

Finally I want to talk about a book. I mentioned in my last post that life has been a bit of a struggle recently and I have been trying out Mindfulness practice. I am going to do a more in-depth post about the practice of mindfulness and how I am finding it so far. But as a novice I have been reading Mindfulness for Dummies by Shamash Alidina. It has really helped to make sense of what can be quite a complicated practice and makes it really accessible. Practicing mindfulness has really helped me out recently and I probably wouldn’t have stuck with it without this book. You can pick it up from Waterstones and it is actually on sale at the moment for £13.59.

So those are my August favourites. Let me know what you’ve been loving

Long overdue update

I haven’t been able to blog for a while for a number of reasons, the first being I had my end of year exams and I was so wrapped up in them I couldn’t really think about anything else…I’m sure a number of you can sympathise with me on that one.

The second reason is due to me having to relocate. I am now back in Blackpool and settled now thankfully.

The final reason is because I have had a massive knock in my confidence really. I don’t know if any of you have gone through anything like this but I have really struggled with it. I never really had an awkward teenage phase and I was always super confident in myself but recently I’ve just not been feeling it. I have been majorly insecure and lacking in confidence but I feel like I’m getting back to normal now (fingers crossed) so you will be seeing a lot more from me.

I LOVE PERFUME TAG…

I have seen the I Love Perfume Tag floating around so I thought I would get involved being an avid perfume lover (my perfume collection is out of hand….it’s a problem). I did add 2 extra categories: Favourite celebrity perfume and favourite daytime fragrance. So let’s jump straight in…..

1. What was the first perfume you ever purchased?

I can’t remember the first perfume I bought myself but when I was about 11 was when I got my first perfume. My Dad was in the Royal Air Force and had been away in Saudi and bought me back Dolce&Gabana Light Blue and Gucci Rush. I don’t currently own either of these but I have very fond memories of them.

2. What’s your signature perfume?

This is such a tough one because I have so many I go through phases. But I have gone off what I repurchase so they are Dolce&Gabana The One, Roberto Cavalli (the original fragrance), Tom Ford Private Blend Tobacco Vanille, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia.

D&G The one, Roberto Cavalli, Tobacco Vanille, La Vie Est Belle, Gorgeous Garenia

3. What’s your most recent perfume purchase?

This was actually a very recent purchase I did very well in my semester one exams so I thought I would treat myself. I ended up getting DKNY Fresh Blossom Sparkling Apple which was an absolute bargain just £22 for the 50ml from The Fragrance Shop (get it here if you also can’t resist a bargain). And because that was so cheap I also picked up the Armani Diamonds Rose.

Fresh Blossom Sparkling Apple, Diamonds Rose

4. What perfume would you wear at night time/date night?

For this I would pick YSL Black Opium, Roberto Cavalli or Jean Paul Gautier Classique Intense.

Black Opium, Roberto Cavalli, Classique Intense

5. What’s your favourite spring/summer perfume?

I normally prefer more heady perfumes but I’ve been drawn towards more floral scents recently with spring coming up so this year I would pick Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Eleganza, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia or DKNY Fresh Blossom Sparkling Apple.

Signorina Eleganza, Gorgeous Gardenia, Fresh Blossom Sparkling Apple

6. What’s your favourite fall/winter perfume?

These are the months when I go for the more heady scents two of my favourites are YSL Manifesto or Michael Korrs Glam Jasmine (although I would also wear the three I picked for the night/date perfume).

Manifesto, Glam Jasmine

7. What is your favourite daytime scent?

I like something light and fresh for daytime and at the moment I would pick Prada Candy Florale or Kenzo Amour.

Candy Florale, Amour

8. What is your favourite celebrity fragrance?

I really wanted to add this because I think there are so many great fragrances out there and they tend to be a little less expensive but just as good as high-end fragrances. I have picked Kim Kardashian (original fragrance) this has a tonne of jasmine in it so smells really luxurious and Katy Perry Killer Queen which smells very similar to Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb.

Kim Kardashian, Killer Queen

9. What’s your favourite scent category? (fruity, floral, fresh, oriental, woody)

If you would have asked me this a couple of months ago I would have said something in the oriental region however I am really getting into the fruity-floral scents so either of those depending on my mood.

10. What perfume are you currently lusting after?

I wasn’t really lusting after anything until I sat down to write this but talking about my first perfumes has got me feeling all nostalgic and now I really want Light Blue and Gucci Rush again so those again.

11. What is your favourite Scent for the opposite sex?

This one is pretty easy Jean Paul Gautier Le Male, Viktor and Rolf Spice Bomb or Ermenegildo Zegna Uomo. I like really manly scents on men and is it just me or does anyone else find that a really good aftershave can make a man infinitely more attractive?

So thats my finished perfume tag. I tag everyone who reads this post.

Let me know what fragrances you love and if there is anything you would recommend in the comments

Overline Like a Boss – 5 Steps to Fake Lip Injections…

I wanted to do a quick how to on overlining your lips/faking lip injections. I know this look may not be for everyone  but for the past 6 months or so I have been obsessed with overlining. It’s a really simple technique for making your lips fuller and poutier. So if you’re after lips like Kylie Jenner  keep reading to see how I do it.

What you need:

Concealor

Powder

Lip liner in a taupey type shade (I used Kiko Liner in 712)

A matte lipstick a shade lighter (I used Dior Nude Rouge in Swan).

Step 1: apply concealor all over your lips to neutralise the natural colour of your lips and dab a bit of pressed powder over them – this helps the liner to stay in place.

Step 2: this is where you’re going to get you desired lip shape so take your time with it. The way I overliner is to take the lip liner slightly higher than you natural lip line in the centre of the top of the bottom lip. You will want to make sure by the time you get to the corners you meet up with the natural lip line or you may end up looking a little too duck-facey (unless that’s what you want then rock it girl…do your thing).

Step 3: after you have the shape you want just shade in the lips with the liner.

Step 4: dab a little of the lighter lipstick on the centre of lips for a bit of dimension.

Step 5: I just like to finish off by making sure everything is even and sharp. At the end I shade in the corners a bit more with my liner to make them a little darker.

And that is that. Like I said it is super simple way to give you full lips without any pain or without costing a small fortune.

Let me know if you try it out in the comments below or if you overline a different way let me know too so I can try it out.

Peace&Pout

February 2015 Favourites…

So its favourites time again! My favourites for February aren’t particularly exciting I’m afraid; it’s been a crazy busy month so I’ve been pretty basic in terms of makeup and just keeping it super natural. Let’s just jump straight in to it…

L’Oreal Elvive Fibrology hair care – I lovely thick volumous hair and I will pretty much try anything to get it so I thought I would try out this range. I do really like it I definitely notice a difference my hair feels thicker after I have washed it, I haven’t been using it for long enough to tell if it has any long term effects just yet but the short term results are really good. I’m not crazy about the scent but on the whole I have been really loving the shampoo and conditioner this month.

W7 In The Buff: Lightly Toasted Palette – I have written about this palette before in my beauty bargains haul and I am absolutely obsessed with it! It’s a dupe for the original Naked palette and it’s just as good for a fraction of the price and I have reached for this nearly everyday.

P.S. Love… Matte Long Last Lipstick – This is Primark’s own brand makeup it’s a matte lipstick and I really wanted to try it out. It’s only £1.50 so I didn’t have too high hopes but I was very pleasantly surprised it’s great. Excellent payoff and it does last a long time so I’m very happy and will definitely try out some more from the range.

Beauty UK Contour Palette – This is another product from my beauty bargains haul so I won’t ramble about it. It an amazing product for a natural everyday contour or a more defined glam look. Click here if you want to know more about this.

Roberto Cavalli Perfume – I am a massive perfume enthusiast and this is my Holy Grail if I don’t know what to wear I reach for this and I always get complimented on it. It is an oriental-floral fragrance which is really rich and warm and it’s just a stunning fragrance.

Primark Scarf – In the picture it is under the products. It’s a really beautiful check scarf I love the colours and I am obsessed with scarves and this one is so pretty and girlie. I normally go for darker colours so this was nice for a change.

The Good Wife – This is a bit of a random one to just throw in but I absolutely love this show and season 5 has started in the UK and I am so happy. When I grow up I want to be just like Alicia and Dianne they are queens!

And that is everything for February faves. Like I said not very exciting but this month has been insane. Let me know what your favourites have been this month.

Speak to you next time

OTT Glam Makeup….

I knew I wanted to do a makeup look today but when I sat down I had no idea what I was going end up with. But this is the look I ended up with. It is a very over the top glam look with sexy smoky eyes and a nude lip. All the shadows for the eyes are from the W7 In The Nude Lightly Toasted palette (you can read a review here). Keep reading to see how I achieved it

1. Because I had no idea where this was going I started with my eyes. I filled my brows in with Illamasqua Thunder and then applied an eye primer. Then I applied the shade Happy (shimmery nude) from the W7 Lightly Toasted palette all over my lid with a fluffy brush.
2. Using a flat brush I applied Delilah (dark metallic brown) from the same W7 palette along my lash line and extended it out. Using a clean fluffy brush I blended the shadow out and round into the outer corner of the crease to create a rounded cat eye. I repeated these steps until I had the desired depth of colour.
3. Too add a bit more drama I used the shade Up in Smoke which is a black shimmer (from the same palette) in the outer corner and packed the colour on and blended it out to avoid any harsh lines.
4. Using my Inglot black gel liner I tight lined in my upper water line and along my top lash line. Then I applied a little mascara to my top lashes and applied my Red Cherry #43 falsies. Let me tell you these lashes are no joke they’re so long a fluttery. They added a lot of drama to this look and I love them.
5. On to the skin. I applied Revlon Colorstay Foundation all over my face (being careful around the eyes) with my Beauty Blender. Then I applied Collection Lasting Perfection under my eyes and blended it out with the Beauty Blender for an under eye highlight and set with loose powder.
6. I then contoured my face with the Beauty UK Contour palette (see here for contour tutorial).
7. I used Magic which is a warm brown shade on a pencil brush under my eyes to smoke the look out a bit more and used the gel liner in my lower water line and some black mascara on the bottom lashes .
8. Next I used Rimmel Stay Blushed Cheek Tint in Sunkissed Cherry on the apple of my cheeks
9. For the lips I used my Kiko lip liner in shade 712 (as you can see it is very well loved – I need a new one). I over lined my lips but of course if it’s not for you skip this part. Then I filled my lip with Dior lipstick in Swan.
10. To finish off I applied Illamasqua highlighter in Aura to my cheek bones and a bit of pressed powder to set everything.

That’s how you get the look. I love this kind of dramatic makeup for a night out or maybe Valentine’s Day? I hope you like it and I will speak to you soon.

LUSH Rosie Gift Set Review…

I have well and truly jumped on the Lush bandwagon. It’s only a recent thing as Lush hasn’t really ever interested me. I think it’s because I’m not a massive fan of baths I’m definitely a shower girl and I’ve always just assumed it was mainly about bath products. But I got the Rosie gift set for Christmas and now I’m sold on lush! Saying that I wanted to do a review on my Rosie gift set.

The presentation of this gift set is stunning wrapped in really pretty rose printed wrapping with a pink ribbon. I love that lush wrap their gift sets like this because it is so pretty and is really nice to give as a gift (even if it’s for yourself). This particular set contains Rose Jam Shower Gel 100g, Ro’s Agran Body Conditioner 45g, Rose Jam Bubbleroon, Amandopondo Bubble Bar and Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb. This set costs £21.25 and you can get it here from the Lush website or in store.

Rose Jam Shower Gel: This is the most stunning smell, its just heaven! It only comes as part of this gift set which is a shame because it is something I would buy time and time again. It definitely smells like rose but has a real sweetness to it that makes it feel modern and feminine. What I really love about this is that the scent lasts so long on the skin, if I have a shower or bath in the evening I can still smell it the next morning.

Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner: The first time I smelt this product I really didn’t like and was quite disappointed, but now I’ve used it a couple of times its really grown on me  and I quite like it now. I was concerned that if I used it after I had used the Rose Jam Shower Gel it would mask that products scent. However, it really doesn’t if anything it adds to it. You use it like you would a conditioner for your hair, apply it all over while you’re in the shower or bath then rinse it off. It contains a tonne of products that really nourish the skin like argan oil, vitamin E, Brazil nut and almond oil, cocoa and sheaf butter as well as essential fatty acids so it keeps the skin supple as well as nourished. It really does work my skin feels divine after. You can buy this product separately for £16.50 (225ml) here or in store.

Rose Jam Bubbleroon: As I have said I am not massively keen on baths but on Saturday night after a long day a bath was in order so I used this product. A bubbleroon is like a macaroon for your bath what I really like about this is you can split it in half so you get 2 uses out of it. It smells just like the Rose Jam shower gel (so obviously I love it) and it turns your bath a pretty pastel pink as well as making loads of bubbles which surprised me really I wasn’t expecting many. It’s really nourishing on the skin as it contain rose, extra virgin coconut and geranium oils as well as shea butter. I really enjoyed this product and baths are becoming something I am going to be enjoying a lot more. You can buy this separately for £3.25 each here or in store.

Amandopondo Bubble Bar: I haven’t used this product yet but I am really looking forward to trying it. Because I haven’t tried it yet I can’t say how well it works but it smells gorgeous. This product contains rose absolute, lemon oil and sweet orange oil. You can buy this separately for £2.75 each here or in store.

Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb: Again I haven’t gotten round to using this yet. Its scent is more of a true, traditional rose scent compared to the other products but it is still really nice. It has dried rose petals in it that will float in the bath once you put it in which is really cute and will be really nice for a romantic night in. It contains rose absolute, jasmine absolute (my favourite thing in the world), geranium oil and rosebuds. You can buy this separately for £3.35 (which is a bargain considering it contains rose AND jasmine absolute) here or in store.

So that’s an overview of the Rosie gift set. For me it has been the perfect set for an introduction to Lush and I will definitely be visiting my local store to add to my little collection. It is a lovely set and would be a brilliant gift for someone who is a fan of rose or for yourself if you are a lover of rose.

If you’ve tried this set or any of the products let me know what you think! Or let me know what your favourite Lush products are.
