Would You Ever Wear White Foundation?

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had a great one and weren't feeling too delicate yesterday. I haven't posted in around a week and a half due to not having the time with all the Christmas festivities going on, but I'm back and this is my first post of 2016!

Work Xmas Party- The Outfit & The Beauty Essentials

It's Christmas Party season, my favourite time of the year! What better time to put your best dancing shoes on and get a little merry? We had our work Christmas party last Friday and I love seeing how glamorous everyone gets. It's such a change from seeing everyone in their work attire and massive efforts were made!

Wishlist | December- Christmas List Edit

This months wishlist is quite a lot bigger than usual as it's the CHRISTMAS EDITION! There's so many gorgeous items that I'm wanting to get my hands on this Christmas and while I'm not expecting to get every single item and obviously I'll be so grateful with whatever I get, these are also a few ideas for yourselves too!

Wishlist | September

Paco Rabanne Olympéa Eau De Parfum 30-80ml | £36.50-61.50

I spotted the new Paco Rabanne fragrance being promoted at the airport before we caught our flight to go on holiday a few weeks ago and it was love at first smell. It's described as 'a fresh oriental fragrance' with three accords  of 1. Green  Mandarin, Ginger Lily and Hydroponic Jasmine; 2.  Salty Vanilla and 3. Cashmere Wood and Ambergris. Admittedly I'm the worst at being able to describe or pick out certain scents in a fragrance and can just about tell whether something is either rich or fruity smelling, but what I do know is that this smells gorgeous and is definitely one that will take pride of place on my dressing table- just look at that bottle! The smell lasted for ages too and even withstood a ten hour flight. Lucky for me my mum works at the airport so I can still get this with duty free discount!

Soap&Glory | My New Brow Favourite

I've previously done a post on shaping and defining the brows [here] where I mentioned that I like to use a Brow Pencil by MAC. The main reason that I love it is due to the very fine nib enabling for greater precision. I like to use the fairest shade in blonde to outline the edge and then I fill in with a powder. This technique works really well for me and I've been using it for sometime.

Wishlist | December

Zoeva- Rose Gold Luxury Brush Set £56.95

I've been lusting after these gorgeous make-up brushes for so long and this year they're on my Christmas list. I always think that you can never have too many make-up brushes and these are a definite must to add to my collection. They look and sound of absolute fantastic quality and so reasonably priced- not to mention that this set comes in rose gold too. I'm currently toying with the idea of whether to get this set or the complete eye set- maybe I'll just have to get both!

Wish List | November

La Roche-Posay- Pigmentclar Eyes £24.50

I've recently come across this eye serum from La Roche-Posay which is said to rectify dark rings under the eyes; something that I am forever trying to conceal. The skin under our eyes is extremely delicate and needs lots of extra care and attention so I've been on the look out for  a product that really works and will reduce my reliance on concealer, whilst also helping to keep the area hydrated and prevent creases forming. This caffeine combined cream by La Roche-Posay is said to do just that so I'm hoping that this could turn out to be a staple product in my make-up bag.

Wish List | October

 

Care- Almond Oil £1.59

Almond Oil is a product that I have seen recommended on Pixiwoo . It's considered a natural oil to remove eye make up and keep the skin looking healthy and nourished. As renowned make-up artists and with a wealth of knowledge behind them this is a piece of advice that I'm more than willing to try. I 'm intrigued to see if it really does work wonders to benefit my complexion.

Brows That Wow

Eyebrows are such a significant part of the face and I believe that they can totally make or break a look. When taken care of and groomed well they are capable of opening up the eyes and sculpting the face, so it's really important to get it right and not fall victim of failed make up due to dodgy brows. The first step to achieving this is to shape them and whilst I am in absolutely no way an eyebrow expert I have put together a small guideline of the different methods that this can be carried out. Once you have got the correct shape then maintaining them is pretty easy!
