Christmas Gifts..

28/11/2019

The time is here again where we all stress and struggle with deciding what to buy for our loved ones. We want to make them feel special, and put some thought into the presents, we don’t want to spend too much, but the shops are full of such lovely presents that we want to buy everything..... aarrrggghhhh!

Why not pop a small hamper together with individual items appropriate to the person it is designed for? Leave out the “Tat” that gets put in a drawer and never used, and get them their favourite coffee, jam, chocolate, socks, smellies etc

I have put together a number of small hampers for him, for her, for chilrden. In each of these is just one item of Forever Living Aloe product. A soap or a toothpaste, a little pure botanical element to each parcel. These were easy, not too expensive, and a nice treat for someone special...

If you would like more info and to purchase one of these then get in touch with me asap before they disappear :-)

Halloween Party Fun.....

17/10/2019

Why don’t we let our hair down at halloween? Too Old? Is that how we feel?

Or do we hold ourselves back for fear of other’s responses and recriminations? ... Yes probably....

It seems as we grow older we become more bar humbug about the Halloween traditions, well I have anyway.
I used to go out dressed up with my friends, carve pumpkins, play harmless tricks on unsuspecting grumpy adults...

But now, I am that grumpy adult, getting frustrated that I can’t eat my dinner in peace for knocks at the door.....

Hmmmm I think it’s time I loosened up a little!!!!

So this year I will be making sure I have my bowl of treats, and a face full of scariness ready or my visitors...

Come on people, let’s enjoy an excuse for a get together or a party...an excuse to be social and have a giggle with our besties.

Hot Lips or Cool Kissers?

19/9/2019

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips collection.. Yeh or Ney?

You have probably seen this collection advertised in their beautiful packaging with matching phone cases and tote bags.. if not, check them out, they are divine!

The lipstick does not disappoint either.. the shades are stunning and apply themselves in a creamy sheen that lasts as well as any high quality lipstick.

Lots of cases to choose from and then refill colours to swap and change your lippy inside...

These get a great big Yeh from Makeup Locker.

Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are fast becoming my go to lipsticks in my makeup kits!

Go for gold.. give them a try.. Well done Charlotte... yet again!!!

PRIMER IS KEY

31/8/2019

Do you need to use Primer?
Which primer should you use?
Is silicon best?
So many questions, and so many brands!
Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!!!

In my experience, foundation sits and stays far better over a primer. A primer smoothes the appearance of fine lines and open pores, and as it name implies, primes the skin ready creating the perfect base for a foundation.

So which one? This is something you may need to play around with to see what works best on your particular skin, but I will try and point you in the right direction.

I have real combination skin, oily T zone with open pores so I need a really good primer to stop my foundations walking off my nose and chin.

Particular favourites in the highstreet world of makeup are such as MAC Prep and Prime and Benefit Porefessional.. then there are the more pro brands such as Skindanavia Skin Primer and KryolanHD micro primer.

These are all amazing primers....But for me, none of these come close to the Illamasqua range of primers. I think these are the worlds best kept secret in the primer field !!

The picture attached shows Illamasqua under the right hand side of the face as you look at it, no filtering, and a very quick and unprofessional application of foundation. But after only half an hour you can see the difference between the two sides of the face.

Contact me for more details, but this product is definitely worth a try! Xx

Makeup v skin care...?? ..Brides Listen up...

13/8/2019

The truth is, there is nothing nicer than seeing beautiful clear glowing skin, and nothing worse than seeing bad skin piled up with huge amounts of makeup to cover it.
But, sadly, this is sometimes inevitable, and I have been there myself in my younger years, even using theatrical makeup to cover the teenage blemishes that haunt us through those younger years.

So what is the answer??

Skin care routine... skin care routine.... skin care routine... Oh and lots of water and veggies of course!! Sorry, but these are essential guys :-0

It doesn’t matter whether you wear makeup or not, if your skin looks better, then you feel better, and if you wear makeup, then the makeup will look SOOOO much better if your skin is healthier. If you are a BRIDE TO BE, then you will certainly want your skin to glow through your makeup on your special day!

So my tips for a clearer skin and a much nicer makeup finish are as follows:-

1) Skin care takes time, time to carry out, and time to heal and rebalance, don’t expect results over night...
2) Skin and hair have a pH of 4.5 to 5.5, and a lot of products we use can be too alkaline or too acidic. Using a product that is too astringent, although it clears the oil can cause the skin to have the counteraction of producing more oils to compensate the stripping of the skin.
3) Try and use products that balance the skins pH. This can take a few weeks,, but the results are worth it.
4) CLEANSE - properly with non soap products, TONE to cool and close the pores, SERUM to boost natural moisture, MOISTURISER to deep condition the skin.
5) Exfoliate once a week with a gently face scrub or exfoliant, and try a moisturising mask, and some strawberries ;-), once in a while to give your skin a boost.
5) Never sleep in your makeup!
6) Drink plenty of water, and eat your veggies!

Brides, you need to start this a few months before your big day to really clear your skin out and GET THE GLOW!

Makeover... why Not?

3/8/2019

Why do we think that a makeover, or a hair and makeup session is only for a special occasion? Are we not worth it? Don’t we deserve a little me time trying to hold down a job, bring up children, look after the house and family? We do so much for others, and feel guilty if we look after ourselves don’t we? But what about us, I personally love a pamper and my partner is more than happy for me to indulge myself for which I am extremely grateful, so that I do not have to feel guilty (although secretly I still do...).
If you feel you need to revive yourself a little, why not come in and have a makeover. I also currently have an offer on where you receive a free photoshoot and framed print worth £175 with Fulton Studios in Blackwood, if you wanted to make the most of your makeup! Do it.... have some me time... xx
