Wandering Thoughts


Today isn’t really a review or advice but just something I have been thinking about lately.
 

I was just looking through facebook and twitter and I see people and picture saying that girls look better without make up and I see people complaining about girls wearing too much makeup. I don’t particularly agree or like these comments. I mean I completely agree that if you feel comfortable not wearing any make up at all that’s great and you shouldn’t think twice about wearing any if you don’t want to!  But it has come to my attention that there is a slight negative attitude towards people wearing makeup.  People saying things like oh she looks fake and her face looks all cakey. But what some people obviously don’t come to realise is that the whole concept of wearing makeup is to make you feel comfortable and confident with yourself and no matter what choice or type of makeup you wear should make this different as long as you feel comfortable within yourself.

For example people with acne or acne scars like me I feel so much more comfortable with a face of makeup than how I feel when not wearing any at all. It gives me the confidence to even talk because if I went out without any on I don’t even think I could make any type of eye contact with anyone.

So the thing that we get from this is just do what you feel comfortable with and don’t judge people on if they wear a lot or no makeup at all. Do what you want to do.

'In with the old out with the new!'

I know what your thinking, in with the old out with the new what?!
but I shall explain ...


MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW13
MAC Studio finish concealer NC15
 

Well I have recently been very unhappy with my current foundation the Lancôme teint idole ultra 24h
(I will give more information on why in another blog post) so I have been on the market for a new foundation but after much research and hours looking around makeup counters I finally came to the conclusion that I should just get the previous foundation that I had before the Lancôme. Which was the MAC studio fix fluid.

I don't know why but we always seem to think that there is a better foundation out there than the one that we already have. so that is why I changed to the Lancôme. But as I was soon to find out the one that I already had was probably the best one for me.

But this is by far the best one I have ever had! It easily lasts all day and has just the right amount of coverage for my acne scars. It doesn't feel thick and cakey on my skin like some high coverage may do and the matte finish is good for my normal/oily skin.The foundation is in a warm tone but the concealer in in a cool this combination works well together because if concealer applied on top of the foundation it doesn't make the area applied for example a blemish even darker. Because no one wants a blemish that stands out! so the cool warm combination works very well together! 
 
any other foundation recommendation's would be nice
thank you x

Tweezer Ban!





I have placed myself on a tweezer ban! I have urged myself to not touch a set of tweezers for at least 3 weeks! I know crazy right.
The reason for this ban Is in simple terms I hate my natural eyebrows and I know filling them in with a pencil is an efficient way of making this problem disappear. But as many people including me and you we want naturally thick nicely shaped brows!
So I have done some research prior to this and the highly recommended advice is to either apply Vaseline twice a day or apply olive oil before bed. this apparently increases the rate of growth.
so if you have always wandered if any of these methods actually genuinely work I am here to be your guinipig! I will take a before and after pic and post the either good or bad news in around 3 weeks time!

Also if you have any other tips and tricks comment below and let me know!
