FOTD & OOTD: Alivia's Prom 2019

If you personally know me or have read my blog post from the beginning you will know that  I am the eldest of seven and Alivia is child number five, the youngest girls so I thought I would help her with prom.

Makeup Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018

My Dad tells me I have too much makeup, I have cleared some out but I love playing with makeup and putting together different looks. The way I have stored these are with three old IKEA Moppe drawers that I painted, you can get smaller versions of them still but I wish they still did this side.

I am going to through each set of drawers plus each drawer, I thought I would mention that I am not a professional makeup artist, everything I know I have either self taught or watched YouTube videos.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Arbonne® Perfecting Liquid Foundation SPF15

Arbonne® is more of a natural company, I don't think they are 100% natural but they use botanically based ingredients, being earth friendly and don't test on animals. They also have a charity called Arbonne Charitable Foundation® that helps teenage girls and boys develop the confidence to realise their true potential and reach for their dreams. I think that is amazing and more companies should be like this.

I thought I would mention that when I purchased this foundation I thought the price was quite high then I received the product, the outer carton that houses the foundation looks quite sleek and fancy, the box it's self is matte then around the box is a glossy tree, this maybe just me but it brings a sense of importance, detail, luxury. I took the foundation bottle out and it is a cheap plastic bottle, nothing special just like most drugstore foundations. It is a pump bottle so thats a bonus, I unscrewed the pump and there isn't a stick or tube so I Googled it and saw the base of the foundation rises as you use it.

FOTD & OOTD: Godson Kane's Christening (+Coming In September)

My Auntie Hayley and Uncle Paul asked me to be Godmother to their beautiful baby Kane and I felt so privileged to be asked, I thought I would document my outfit as well as what I wore on my face, bare in mind I had a rushed tan the night before so may look slightly patchy.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The Ordinary Coverage Foundation

Everybody has been raving about The Ordinary products so I thought I would give their Coverage Foundation a try. Now it was hard to find a place that had a shade that I thought would be suitable for me.

CLAIMS:

• Full coverage
• Lightweight
• Smooth, perfected and semi-matte finish
• Lasts all day without settling into fine lines
