best pressed powder
I’m always on the look out for the “best” of every kind of product. Sometimes I find the best are the most expensive brands, other times it’s a pleasant surprise to find that the “best” is a more affordable product. This is where the Avon Ideal Flawless pressed powder comes in! I’ve worked my way through more brands than I care to remember over the years looking for the best pressed powder. I have typical combination skin with an oily t-zone and dry cheeks and I also suffer from skin breakouts which can make finding the perfect pressed powder challenging. Until I tried the Avon Ideal Flawless pressed powder,…

Avon Ultra Colour Lipstick Review & Swatches
Considering for years that I didn’t even own a lipstick as I only wore lip gloss, the tables have firmly turned and these days I’m rarely seen without a slick of lippy on! I still love lipgloss, but I love the lasting power of a decent lipstick and I recently got my hands on some Avon Ultra Colour Lipsticks, but in honesty, I wasn’t getting too excited. According to Forbes, Avon are No2 in the top 10 global beauty brands, but for me, I still had images of my mum as an Avon lady in the 80s, with tiny lipstick samples that smelt funny and blue eyeshadows! I still saw…

Tropic Skin Care (Cleanser, Toner & Moisturiser)
If you have read my blog on “Do I Really Need To Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise” you’ll know that I have my absolute favourite skin care products that I stick to and I’m rather OCD about it! For a number of years I have used my favourite No7 skincare range and was more than happy with the results. That was, however, until I was contacted by Tropic Skin Care Ambassador, Helen Johnson. I will openly confess to being very skeptical about these products, as they are not available through department stores and can only be purchased online or through an Ambassador. However, as with everything I’m sent, I always honestly give the product…

Olympia Beauty London 2014
I love going to both Olympia Beauty & Excel in London each year, and I’m just back from my latest trip to Olympia last Sunday. It’s always buzzing with stands, offers and new products as well as talks and exhibitions and this year certainly didn’t disappoint. Whilst I do adore all things hair and beauty, I am always drawn back to nail stands, like a moth to a light 😉 This year was no exception, but there was a new kid on the block that I wanted to go and visit, spend some time with and have a good old nosey about and ask questions; and that was Gel II!

Vivienne Westwood Red Label SS15
Sunday 14th September was Vivienne Westwood’s Red Label SS15 catwalk show for London Fashion Week. I have never worked any of the Fashion Week shows before, so to be working at Vivienne Westwood on my first experience was absolutely amazing, even more so to be assisting Marian Newman as part of her team. The artistic freedom and spontaneity was breathtaking and made the whole experience just wonderfully fun. The team was amazing to work with and included Marian, Lyndsay Mcintosh, David Barton, Hollie Wakeham, Charlie Jepson and Jennie Nippard.

Viva La Juicy Gold Couture Perfume
I was lucky enough earlier this year to be part of a close team of 4 Nail Technicians (myself, Lucy Holliday, Danielle Edgington-Gibson and Nickie Rhodes-Hill) working at the Viva La Juicy Gold Couture Perfume Launch at the Soho Hotel in London. It was a wonderful intimate day in opulent and beautifully fragrant surroundings, where ladies from the various top magazines joined us for a hour or so, sipped on champagne, ate gold encrusted Hors d’Oeuvres and were pampered with golden manicures whilst finding out more about this new luxurious fragrance from Juicy Couture. Very Gold Couture! #coutureoverdose
