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?

There’s enough to do in the mornings before work without having to spend half an hour doing up your face. However, when I do wear makeup, even just a little, I feel more confident, put together and ready to tackle the day. 
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?

Brushes be clean with B Makeup Brush Cleanser

I don’t know about you but if there is an easier way to do something, I want to know about it. Cleaning my makeup brushes is one of those things.

I clean my brushes as often as possibly with Beauty Blender brush soap, but it becomes such a chore and with a drying time of at least a day I often neglect this important step in my beauty routine.

On top of that, I’m sure we have all done it (at least I hope it’s not just me!), when you come to do your makeup, you’ve got the perfect glam smokey eye look all ready in your mind, and you pick up your brushes only to find they still have the eyeshadow from the night before. Usually, I’m ashamed to admit, in these situations I try and wipe as much excess shadow on some toilet roll and keep my fingers crossed my eyeshadows don’t get mixed together in the palette.

Not any longer!

On a recent shopping trip I popped into Superdrug and spotted what I hoped would be the answer to my brush cleaning prayers, the Makeup Brush Cleanser by B.

B. is for beautiful and is a brand exclusive to Superdrug, which includes everything from cruelty free makeup brushes to vegan skincare, as well as on-trend affordable makeup. This particular brush cleanser claims to remove bacteria whilst conditioning any makeup brush with just 2-3 sprays!

Obviously, I had to do a little test with one of the darkest eyeshadows I own, with a before and after shot for you all to see.

As instructed I sprayed three times directly on the bristles before wiping my brush on a little bit of tissue. Miraculously, in a matter of seconds nearly all the eyeshadow had transferred onto the tissue, and a few more wipes revealed a beautifully clean brush. What was even better, the brush was dry and ready to use within a couple of minutes!

This spray really is a godsend. I still make sure to wash my brushes properly with soap, but when I’m short on time, or need to reuse a brush for a different colour in the same look, this spray is perfect. Oh and did I mention it’s only £4.99 and on offer in Superdrug now at £3.29! Definite bargain.

Have fun brush cleaning,

Lips Pout

    Same here. This was the first thing I’ve ever purchased from them actually, and only bought it because I was shopping with friends who had bought loads of stuff and I hadn’t got anything! Really glad I did though as it works wonders.
    Ahhhh thanks so much! I just use my trusty iPhone for all my photos xx

    This sounds wonderful! I wish we had Superdrug in the US. I’ll have to see if I can find a similar product somewhere.
