About twice a year I get to work for Katy of  What Katy Did Next.   I always get excited when she sends me a message to ask if I am available for a photo shoot for her latest collections. Katy has an amazing talent of creating some fabulous creations in headpieces as well as necklaces (which I have many in leather pieces) to the full length church veils. The latest collection “The New Botanical” is a mixture of using textures of rose gold and bronze. To compliment her beautiful collection I wanted to create a look that would suit both models on a similar aspect. Some of the looks...

I love receiving surprise parcels in the post especially when it involves make-up! This week I received the Limited Edition for Christmas by Lola Make-up. The limited edition: All in one Mascara and the Duo Kajal and eyeliner.   I had to try them all straight away so I could see what I thought.   I personally normally rock the “smoky eye” look and rarely do I try the cat flick eyeliner look on myself. The All in One Mascara is what is says on the bottle, the mascara wand is a perfect size to create a lushious look on the eyes. The Duo Kajal and eyeliner I have at the moment...

Veil Cover Cream was founded in 1952 by Mr Thomas Blake.   The cover cream was created to hide post-operative scars and has continued success...
