The Evolution of my beauty habits

So for a while now I've been meaning to get on the blogging band wagon but have been unsure how to as it's been quite a while. So I was going to do a favourites to explain what I have been using these past few months, however instead I thought I would talk about something that has been apparent to a lot of people and has been issue with quite a few friends of mine as well.



Over the past few years the online beauty community has grown and grown. This is partly because anyone can set up a blog as long as you've got some sort of camera and access to the internet then you set up a blog. However with this growth means there are more and more people talking or writing about things that they have enjoyed or not. Depending on how many followers that person has can depend on how far that information travelled. This is partly how we get "hype up" products because the more and more people that talk about this one product mean the more and people who then want to go buy the product. This for companies is a really good selling platform because it means that, that person may only write one blog post or send one tweet however that information is spreading to multiple different avenues.


Now a couple of years ago I was one of those people who wanted the next best thing, the product that everybody's talking about because it sounded so great, However after years of doing this, I saw that my beauty collection was building up and out of control. That's when I started to research more into project panning and how long it actually takes to use product's up. this is when my beauty habits completely changed I stopped buying the next best thing because I knew it was going to take me months to use up. When I got things as present's which I'm always so thankful for I would save them and not open them until I used something else up.

I think what I'm trying to say is as we and develop as people are views and opinions change. Now, that I'm in my mid twenties I've definitely realised that having a whole draw of MAC lipsticks isn't a goal, because at some point they are going to go off!!

That's partly why I'm on a no buy this year and at the moment I'm doing very and haven't bought any new makeup! It's also help me to realised that yes it's nice to have that shinny new palette with the pretty packaging. However in a couple of month's there will be another new palette that will pretty much have the same colours in as the last one. However we get the new one as well and what happens to the old is it kind of get's forgotten about because we have the nice shiny one.


LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR VIEWS ABOUT HOW THE ONLINE BEAUTY COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED THE WAY THAT MANY OF US SHOP. ALSO HAVE YOU JUMPED ONBOARD THE PROJECT PAN OR NO BUY IDEA AS WELL?

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...

Soap and glory mini gift set's Every year soap and glory come out with some amazing christmas that you definitely get your money's worth. This is actually last year bag but I have put in the bag the product's that You get in the set for this year. I personally love these set's because they are so easy to travel with and because they are so small you can take everything you need with you. The set this year is called bright and bubbly and it comes in a box, which personally I prefer the bag as you can also used for travelling. The set retails for £10 which I think is amazing value as you get 4 products and a shower flower thing (what are they called?). Within the set is the clean on me shower cream/gel which is really moisturising and it has the classic soap and glory scent.  Glad hair day which is their shampoo, I haven't actually tried this but it's the perfect size to take away with you.
