Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light

All hail Aqualia Thermal Light! My all time favourite facial moisturiser. I've tried and tested so many different moisturisers over the years but so far Vichy has outdone them all! It leaves my skin feeling so refreshed and hydrated, which I always believe is the perfect base to start with before applying primer and foundation. There have been times when I've attempted to be frugal and gone for a slightly cheaper moisturiser but I always end up returning to my trusty Aqualia Thermal.

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.

Windsor Half Marathon 2014

After all the months of training I finally completed the Windsor Half Marathon! To my absolute surprise I managed to finish it in 2hr6mins which I was so pleased with as I was expecting to do it around 2hr30. Despite how painful I found it at the time, it definitely proved that the training did pay off.

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!

My First Ever Blog Post



Models L-R: Suzie Rennie & Rachel Walker. Make-up, Hair and Concept: Katya Van Bick

So I've finally got my act together and started my blog. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a while but with a mountain of uni work to do I just haven't got round it. Now that I've just completed my final hand in less than 2 weeks ago, I've definitely got a lot more time on my hands. I'm a massive fanatic for all things beauty and am forever trying new things out, so it seems most appropriate to write about them. Studying for my degree in make-up and hair design really has opened my eyes to the beauty industry and I love it more than ever!
