A package arrived for me today after work with some things I ordered from www.lookfantastic.com which made me very happy indeed.

I ordered two bottles ofprotein spray from Label M that I previously tried as a freebie from Vogue Fashion Weekend. I also bought a Real Techniques blush brush that I heard from twitter was good value for money!

Short post again today…again if anyone else is taking part in the challenge please post usernames and web-addresses below!

100 happy days

It was clear that after a term of controlled assessments and topic tests that everyone was extremely worn out and ready for the Easter break. Sometimes we can be too busy to appreciate the little things and instead we end up looking for the negatives.

I’m not just getting all philosophical for no reason… There is motive behind the madness! I heard about a campaign called 100 days happy which challenges people to post something that makes them happy each day for 100 days! Most people are using either twitter, Instagram or Facebook to complete their challenge but I thought it would be nice to share my happy photos with you guys. The aim of the campaign is to make people value the little things making people more happy in general!

I will be posting something on here everyday for 100 days that makes me happy and I challenge you guys to do the same! You can post anything from a cup of coffee to your pet cat! The website to register is here: http://100happydays.com 

So here it is: My first picture. Unsurprisingly to anyone who knows me it’s my camera. I love photography and if I could I would just travel around the world and take pictures until I’m old and grey!

Thank you for reading and please comment if you are planning to take part in the challenge as well or if you already know about it.

Until tomorrow,

Brushes!


Just like an artist needs good tools, it is vital to have good quality brushes to apply your makeup. Using makeup brushes or sponges decreases the risk of breakouts as all the nasty germs and oils from your hands can’t make their way onto your precious skin.

I know good quality makeup brushes can be very expensive but unlike costly makeup they can’t run out or go bad in a short period of time making them a worthwhile investment.

Ok! That’s my skincare lesson done! What I really wanted to focus on was the different makeup brushes I use, where they are from and what I use them for.

It’s probably easiest if I list them in order of my normal makeup routine:

  1. MAC Duo fibre face brush / MAC Foundation brush – For either foundation or BB/CC cream
  2. Boots Small angled sponge – For concealer
  3. Clinique powder brush – For powder to set my foundation
  4. Sephora mineral powder brush – For bronzer
  5. Sephora classic bronzer brush – For highlighter (not bronzer)
  6. Sephora angled contour brush – For blush
  7. The Body Shop eye shadow brush – Surprise surprise for eyeshadow

So that’s my brush collection! I have to say that MAC, Sephora and Clinique are the best places to buy brushes despite the fact they are very pricey.  Also I’ve heard around the blog’o’sphere that Bobbi Brown’s brushes are pretty fab as well.

I would love to hear what brushes you guys use ect. so do post comments below!

Thanks for reading, more to come soon!
