Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?
For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.
What’s your favourite ABH palette?

Currently away on a mini weekend trip with @openingupcricket and loving all the things to see and do (and eat) in Glasgow. I’ve always loved Scotland and Glasgow is my all time favourite Scottish city. Is there a way to become an honorary Scotsman please?!
Have you ever been to Glasgow? If you could pick any other nationality to be, what would you go for? 📸 @lifeofpingkan

There’s enough to do in the mornings before work without having to spend half an hour doing up your face.

That’s why I’m loving @Primark.Beauty to create a super quick, everyday look to help me look glowing and more importantly, at really affordable prices.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

L'Oreal Pure Clay masks
July 20, 2016 Skin Care•Skin Deep

Mask Mania with L’Oreal

During my teenage years I loved nothing more than getting together with my friends for a pamper evening. Squeezing out green clay from a packet face mask, whilst watching Bring It On was the ultimate indulgence, and even though I still love watching Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union fight it out for ultimate cheer glory, my face mask game has moved on.
Having combination skin, with a very oily t-zone, means I do find it difficult to find skincare masks that will reduce the shine on my forehead without stripping moisture from my cheeks leaving them dry.
This is where the new pure clay face masks from L’Oréal have really won me over. Three different masks that can be applied to different target areas, all with their own unique role.

loreal green mask

Pure Clay Purity Mask

This green clay is the go to mask for oily skin. Made from clays that work deep into your pores to absorb excess oil and sebum, this mask mattifies your skin and leaves it looking fresh and shine free.

 


loreal mask red

Pure Clay Glow Mask

This enticing red clay contains red algae to brighten your complexion, and fine apricot seeds to gently exfoliate, revealing clear radiant skin. I like to smooth this over my cheeks to prevent them looking dull.

 


loreal mask black

Pure Clay Detox Mask

The detox mask is perfect for those problem areas that are prone to congestion. My chin can be particularly troublesome, with even the smallest hint of hormonal change or stress causing breakouts. This third pure clay mask tackles this annoyance with charcoal which draws out impurities, leaving clear, soft skin.


All three of these face masks smell A-maz-ing. Really fresh and not too overpowering.

The consistency of the clay is also excellent. It feels so smooth and luxurious, you could almost believe you were in a spa.

I am really impressed with the results of these face masks and at £5 a pop in Boots stores at the moment, they won’t break the bank. I like to apply a face mask preferably once every two weeks, and whether applied separately or together, these pure clay masks have now become a firm staple in my skincare routine.

Unmask your beauty,

B Lips
