Today I'm sharing with you an exciting sneak peek of what's to come from Belle Bridal Magazine's issue 24: Bloom, which has just been released! You can order yours here, although I am sure I'll be sharing more of what's inside soon as people receive their copies, you wouldn't want to miss all the other juicy wedding details that fill its glossy pages.
For this AW21 edition I wanted to keep things truly simple and elegant. In spirit of that I chose to just work with products from SUQQU for things to remain uncomplicated. I know with using just SUQQU from their skin care, base make-up to colour...
If you haven't already become part of the WBCo family thanks to their amazing brow or skin prep products I've already raved about here, this latest release might be the one to convince you.
Having worked closely with the team at WBCo on their own shoots for some time now, I've got to know first hand how amazing their products truly are. These are products that often then end up in my kit for future use with my brides and other clients, they're products I am excited to share with you all.
Glow oil is now part of that too!
The newest member of their skin prep gang, Glow oil, is a super hydrating,...
I first chatted to Danielle around the end of March 2020, back whilst we were all still in Lockdown 1, which feels soooo long ago now. If only we knew then what we do now! Anyone else remember thinking it might of all blown over in a couple months at the most? Over a year later, with a lot of patience and careful planning, Danielle and Benjamin were thrilled to finally tie the knot on the 1st of July 2021.
With original plans of a romantic Italian destination wedding, Danielle quickly shifted gears as the pandemic took hold and wisely chose an equally desirable second option, the Fig House...
Now that I am in my 50's skincare is a whole new challenge. It's not something we all first think of when we say menopause to one and other, but once you're in it you soon realise its a very challenging aspect of it you never expected before. Between all the night sweats and aching bones I've been finding myself more and more sleep deprived and lethargic and that's just the tip of the iceberg of it! One of the symptoms that's been quite noticably for me as it's what my job's all about, is 'Menopause face' aka hormone faace, hot faace, sleep-deprived faace, why am I getting spots again faace. For me specifically...
If you have known me long enough or followed my work at all you will know two things, my love of Steamcream and Japanese beauty products. Maybe a third thing being my love of tea but that had its moment two weeks a go on the blog! This week I'm focusing on talking about Steamcream, after all it has been one of the most constant parts of my kit for 8 years now. As years go by other moisturising products come and go but nothing has beaten it yet, it is really one of my absolute must have products!
That's why you can imagine my utter delight when a package arrived in the post...
A couple of weeks back I was lucky enough to receive a lovely package from the Peep Club that has really changed the game for me in terms of eye care. They weren't a brand or product I was particularly familiar with before trying them out, so I wanted to make sure I spread the message far and wide so everyone knows about these little life savers. After all our eye area is one of the most delicate parts of our face, and if we want to keep them looking good with or without make-up we need to keep them hydrated!
In my package were three exciting new goodies to try. As they say themselves at Peep...
Last Christmas I was lucky enough to be the recipient of a box full of delightful goodies from the one and only founders of Soap Brow, West Barn Co. If you know me and are a reader of my blog or follower of my Instagram you will know I am already in love with Soap Brows, so I was super excited to see if their new product the Brow Elixir was up to par when I spotted it in the gift box.
Over the last few months I have been putting it through its paces and comparing it with other brow products I have used over the years. More recently this has become of pretty important interest to me as my poor...
Just a couple of weeks ago I was lucky to be working on the make-up for the truly inspirational Tilly Lockey, who some of you might know better as 'The Bionic Girl'. At just 15 Tilly is storming the internet with her fun engaging online content, powerful messages and fashion forward looks, often with her bionic arms proudly on display for the world to marvel at.
At the age of just 15 months Tilly contracted meningitis and was told she would be unlikely to survive. Instead this powerhouse of a young woman has beaten the rule book and today Tilly is here with us and taking her lifes challenges...
I'm back again to talk about my all time faves! Usually when it comes to West Barn Co it's brows I'm raving on about and don't get me wrong I could easily do that for another blog, but today I'm here to focus on the exciting new launch of the Prep Mists.
In a world where we're all striving towards a more sustainable future, even in our make-up bags, these brand new Mists in refillable glass bottles are a welcome change. Not to mention the glass bottles themselves give such a luxurious high end feel, that experience is only enhanced when you get to misting.
The scents are heavenly and the effects...
Another week sharing some fresh kicks with you, this time in the form of the hotly anticipated Nike revamp of the iconic Air Huarache OG to mark 30 years of Tinker Hatfield's iconic running style. World famous among sneakerheads the Scream Green colourway deserved my signature perfected skin treatment to keep that focus on the classic minimalist silhouette that's dripping in 90's vibes.
As the client wanted to keep the skin looking fresh and clear I opted to prep the skin with Shiseido's oil free range. Their Waso Oil Free products are ideal for creating a completely matte finish on the skin...
