5 Minute Makeup Challenge

A few weeks ago Laura tagged me to do the 5 minute makeup challenge. I shy away from application type videos these days as they are not so well received and take much longer to film and edit than your average chatty equivalent but I enjoyed this. I'm pretty sure I've done it before but I can't find it so it must have been waaay in the beginning. Anywho.. here's what I used..

Face

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc

Benefit Erase Paste in Shade 2

17 Shine Control Pressed Powder

Miners Bronzer/Blusher Blend in Sunblushed

Eyes

MAC Tete-a-tint eyeshadow

MAC Wedge eyeshadow for brows

Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara

Daniel Sandler Baby Jet Mascara (lower lashes)

Lips

Miners Matte Factor Lip Paint in Peach

Brushes

Eyebrow Brush from QVS at Superdrug

F50 from Sigma (for powder)

F40 from Sigma (for blush)

If I Could Only Have One...

I was asked to do this video a while ago and only just got around to filming it today. Apologies to those who watch my channel for the lack of uploads in the past week.. Sometimes you just get out of the swing, y'know? Either way I'm glad I finally got something up.. and here it is..

Fashion Challenge

I saw this on StyleSoCoy recently and have decided I'm going to go for it! I love the concept and now I am so close to fitting in to my pre-baby wardrobe it seemed a good time to give it a whirl. I'm going to try and post one of the below over the next 30 days (not necessarily in this order). I know when I did OOTD for The whole month of September it made me use more of what I had in my closet .. this will no doubt have the same effect. It's a great way to rediscover some old favourites that have slipped off your radar.

1.     Your closet.

2.     Your favourite shirt.

3.     A piece of clothing or jewellery that was a gift

4.     A shirt that you haven’t worn yet.

5.     Your favourite pair of jeans.

6.     A pair of pants that aren’t jeans.

7.     A cute outfit of yours.

8.     Your most expensive article of clothing.

9.     A cute dress/ skirt.

10. An outfit you wore on a special day.

11. A piece of jewellery that a Grandparent gave you.

12. A piece of jewellery that everyone complements you on.

13. An outfit you wish you had.

14. Cute socks.

15. Your newest purchase.

16. You and someone wearing matching clothes.

17. An article of clothing that you made or altered.

18. A piece of jewellery that you made.

19. All your earrings, rings, necklaces and/or bracelets. 

20. Your jewellery box.

21. Something that you only wear around the house.

22. Something you only wear in the summer.

23. An article of clothing/ accessory that you consider lucky.

24. Your favourite pair of shoes.

25. Shoes you love but hardly wear.

26. A mismatched outfit that you’d never wear (go wild: earrings, belts, crazy skirts etc.).

27. A hat.

28. An outfit you are ashamed to say you wore.

29. Something that is your favourite brand.

30. Something from your favourite store

I tag you all to try it! If you're going to, leave me a link so I can follow you and don't forget to

Songs of my life

First of all, my apologies for being absent here lately... I planned to schedule some blogs for while I was away but got a touch sidetracked when I discovered I was pregnant shortly before *SHOCK*

For anyone who doesn't know this is happy news as we have been trying for a baby for while but I'm not going to bang on about that here... I have a whole seperate blog for that and if you're interested in updates you can hit the "pregnancy" tab above and see what's happening there.

So... I recently did the "how much does your face cost" tag on youtube, I don't know if it's gone around there yet but I haven't seen it, though I'd be very surprised if it hadn't already done the rounds. You can expect my blog version very soon. I also created* a new tag which I am hoping to extend to the blogging community.

*I'm not sure it's never been done before but I don't THINK it has!

"Songs of my Life" ... you basically pick the most poignant songs of your life, tell us why they mean something to you, do they remind you of something or someone? Was there an event you heard them at? Whatever!

I went all blah blah on mine of course and spoke about teenage boyfriends and dance routines as well as my wedding song and the song that embodied my leaving my husband for someone else.. (judge all you want... my life!) You don't have to be as open as I was but I loved the idea so for those of you not youtube inclined here's your opportunity to do this new* tag!

here's my video version for you to check out, let me know what you think and leave me your link if you blog your own! If you DO do a youtube version like me then go ahead and leave it as a video reponse so I see it :)

PS

Thanks for waiting for me...
