Living Life With Beauty

Welcome to the start of Blogmas I really excited to start the countdown to christmas! I realise that I've done a luxury post a couple of weeks ago but since then a lot of brands has released their christmas collection so I'm excited to share my top pick's. One Starting of with Charlotte TIllbury which is up there with one of the most luxurious brand there is. They have released a couple of couple instant look in a palette set's which also contains a full size of their newest mascara which the legendary lashes. They retail for £49.00 which is pretty pricey but it is Charlotte Tilbury. The set's are exclusive to John Lewis  and contains two small sizes of their filmstar bronze and glow, three eyeshadow's and two smaller blushes.  Two I feel like especially in the colder month's it can be quite to give skincare set's as present's. Liz Earle always do some really nice set's that can be great for someone who maybe is just getting into ...

I realised that I am a little bit late with this but I thought that I would still share what I've been loving this month. If you saw my post the other week then you'll know that I am doing a project pan at the moment to try and use up some of my make-up. So that means that a lot of my make-up product are from that because that's the only product's that I've been using. So the first product is a mascara and it's the L'oreal false lash sculpt. This has quite a unique wand which looks a bit like a crocodile. However this just gives amazing volume to your lashes and it also does it really quickly as well. I'm not sure if this has taken over my all time favourite from maybelline which is the lash sensational but it's definitely up there. I also have a foundation that I've been wearing everyday which is the newlook pure colour vitamin E liquid foundation. This feels very light and moisturising but at the same time has amazing coverage. I find...

After watching quite a few of the project pan videos I've decided to pick 11 items from my collection to try and see if I can use as much as I can before christmas. Starting of with primer I've the benefit porefessional as this is  only a 7.5ml tube so shouldn't take me long to finish.  I have two concealer's and this is because I will use the revlon colour stay concealer under my eyes as it fairly pale and good for covering up them bags!! The one that I've chosen for the rest of my face is maybelline fit me concealer which is starting to show cracks so hopefully I am going to use this up.  This product I only bought this year but because I use it everyday I really hope that I can at least hit pan by christmas.  This is max factor creme puff blush in the shade lavish mauve. This definetely has a dent in it so I hoping that I can at least flattering it out at bit before this ends.  After looking through my lipsticks ...

I feel that as the weather draws in and gets colder it's time for my make-up to change. I generally find that if you start of with a good base then your make-up will generally lasts longer. Using a good moisturiser and then let it sink in will get your the moisture it needs. In the morning I use the Simple SPF 15 protecting light moisturiser with UVA./UVB. I think that sometimes we forget that even in winter it's really important to protect your skin from the environment. It also creates a great base for make-up. I also After I apply that I find that primer's are essential in the colder month's as I feel it helps to keep m,y base on. The one I like to use is rimmel fix& perfect primer this has 5 benefits which are it smoothes, resurfaces, brightens, mattifies and protect. I don't think it has any SPF in it but I don't think that matters as my moisturiser has the right protection in it. After that I apply my foundation now I am quite sceptical abou...

Since sorting out all my product's I have switch a few things round as I feel that I'm always in a rut with the product's that I use. So I have picked out 5 things that I want to use more over the next coming weeks. I have two skincare products and three make-up product's. So starting of with the skincare product's I received the Liquid Yoga from Mia which is restorative bath soak. This has quite a strong scent but would be really good if you have congestion or a cold as I feels that it really clears you airwaves and makes you totally relaxed. The full size of this is fairly expensive at £26.00 and you can get it from  www.lookfantastic.com The other skincare product is a hand cream. I feel like at this time of year hand cream are so essential and I basically have one in every bag I used. The one I'm using is the soap&glory hand dream super cream. This has the original scent but it's still not too strong or offensive. You can get soap&...

Recently I purchased a new dressing to hold all my makeup and my everyday skincare bits. The thing that I've never had is somewhere I can sit and do my make-up everyday and choose what I want to use from my whole collection instead of living from my make-up bag. This also means that I'm using the whole of my collection instead of just the things that I really love. So the dressing table that I've got is the Ransby from IKEA. I fell in love with dressing as even through it's not the prettiest of dressing table it's really functional and has everything in one place. So it has two shallow draws and two deeper draws. Underneath I have my hair tools and products on the left and on the right and have a metal vanity that I store some of my samples and travel size product's in.  In the first shallow drawer I have everything that I may need on a day to day basis. Such as my detangler and my skincare routine. I have also have a pack of make-up wipes and c...

I know it seems like so early to be even talking about christmas however we are now over half through october so before you know it that fat man will be coming down the chimmey. So I'll be running through my top 11 present ideas for over £20 and then nearer to november and throughout november I'll be doing something other price ranges to suit every budget. from adventuresofamum.com Starting of the top 10 with a gift from Benefit I feel like benefit gift sets are normally so bright and colourful that it would be wrong if they weren't mention. There seems to be a theme over the whole range of doll shape boxes there are four different styles of boxes and they range from £29.50 to £44.50 depending on the products within the box. This is a example of one of the sets which contains 4 full size products for £44.50 which is pretty is benefit is quite a high end brand.  My next one is from Laura Mercier and it's the set of 4 Layer up holiday caviar stick eye col...
