Sweat Proof Your Makeup

I decided to do this post because I recently had this problem but to be honest, even though I knew how to prevent it, I was in a rush and didn't follow these steps (slapping myself on the wrist for being naughty!). So I thought by sharing this, I could help prevent someone feeling the shame I felt!

Picture this, you make so much effort perfecting your makeup to go out, you wake up the next morning and log onto facebook, only to see yourself looking a hot shiny mess in all the photos.
You can't prevent the heat in a nightclub or yourself from sweating BUT you can help your makeup last longer and stay shine free! Heres how..

Urban Decay Preen Eyeshadow Palette Review

So a few posts back I did a look with this palette.
I decided to do a post on it because I love this palette so much. I use it for both day time AND night time looks. I just deepen up the colours.

Makeup TAG!

So i saw this tag on elleandblair.com and decided to do it as a fun little post in between my usual weekly posts.

1. EEK! You’ve got five minutes to do your makeup for a date. What’s your minimum?
Concealor, blush and mascara!

2. Pick a trend—crazy cat eyeliner, super hot pink blush, or feathered false lashes?
I'm not a fan of crazy eyeliner so definitely the blush, I already overload on blush as it is!

3. If you had to either give up all makeup for two months or give up your skincare for a week, which would you pick?
Skin care for a week!

4. What beauty products are always in your purse?
A pencil eyeliner, a pressed powder and lipgloss!

5. Are there any beauty products that you keep coming back to throughout the years?
No none that I can think of off the top of my head!

6. Smoky eyes or red lips?
Smokey eyes for sure!

7. Lipstick or lipgloss?
Lipstick. I don't really wear gloss that often, I don't like it when my hair sticks to my lips and that always happens when I'm wearing gloss.

8. Are there any products that you never expected to like but ended up loving?
Lipstick! I always thought oh it's for older women but it's definitely not!

If you do this tag on your blog let me know so I can check it out! If you don't have a blog but still want to do it then you can leave it in the comments below! :)

Dermalogica Skin Kit: Dry Review



Dermalogica is my go to brand for skin products. I have quite dry skin and occasionally get red dry patches on my face, usually caused by certain products that just dont agree with my skin. Dermalogica is the only brand that i find truly works on my skin. Ive tried a few of their products during facials and definitely felt a difference. Because the products are quite expensive full sized I decided to try a Skin Kit. After trying it for a while heres my thoughts..
