Bloggers Christmas Beauty Brawl 2016 (Day 10) The last day!

Well, here it is the last day, And today's pick is Concealer

I'm not an advocate for concealer. I rarely use it, even on clients. I prefer colour correction if it is needed. but i tend to find that all concealers end up making foundation look cakey and powdery by the end of the day. 

As it is the last day though, i'm still going to play along and use the ONLY concealer i own to review. And that is the NYX Above and Beyond full coverage concealer. 


Product: 60
Packaging: 79
Price: 50

Product wise, it does exactly what it says it will, but still leaves the skin looking and feeling dry. 
Packaging is actually really nice sized and convenient, great easy size and lasts a while. Its actually as full as it looks. 
Price, well this was £5 so i cant really say good or bad, considering its the only one i use i guess that's a great price but i've seen cheaper and i've seen more expensive. I guess i'm skeptical because i'm not a fan. 

Over all i've really enjoyed taking part in this 10 day event and i've really loved challenging myself to really think about what products i use and how i actually use them or rate them on a day to day basis. It's been a lot of fun and reading others' blogs who have taken part has made me start to branch out and look at new products to replace my every day ones. You never know, i may even get a new brow kit.

Bloggers Christmas Beauty Brawl 2016 (Day1)



Today ladles and jellyspoons we are embarking on a great 10 day quest to battle out (top trumps style) with other bloggers to find our top ten products. 

Day one is Moisturiser. 

So I have chosen to go with the Superdrug own brand B. With the B. Confident Day Cream. I've been using it for a week already and my skin has noticed the difference. Especially now winter has finally come! 





Product: 90
Packaging: 55
Price: 80


Out of 100 i've scored it pretty high except on the packaging, Simply because as luxurious as it feels, when you buy it it's in a box that we just throw away so waste, and secondly its one of those really thick heavy glass jars...which I LOVE. But it gives the impression there's a lot more in their than their actually is.

Price wise at the moment it's on offer. Usually £9.49 but its only £4.69 (i've linked it above) and for what you get and what it does and how awesome it makes your skin feel, plus the added benefit of having SPF15 and its cruelty free, suitable for vegetarians and Vegans...this product is totally worth it even at full price. 

Go and see what Pillippa thougth of her product over on her blog phillippabeauty.com

Bloggers Christmas Beauty Brawl 2016



This year I'm lucky enough to be taking part in the Bloggers Beauty Brawl for Christmas 2016. 

If you're unfamiliar with this, the basic idea is that a group of lovely ladies get together and review a list of ten products over the next ten days and mark them out of 100 in a "top trumps" way to battle it out for their best products. 

Now as you guys know I don't, and wont beat around the bush. If the item is rubbish I'm going to say it and score it accordingly. I will link all of the other lovely ladies' blogs down below if you want to go and see any of their reviews, also look out for the #beautybrawl2016 on Twitter and Instagram. 

Here is the list of products:

1. A moisturiser 
2. An eyeshadow palette 
3. A highlighter 
4. A mascara 
5. A blush 
6. A brow product 
7. A lipstick 
8. A Foundation 
9. A hand cream 
10. A concealer

I Made a Thing!

I made my first Youtube video in years on my new channel.

Not going to lie. Could be better, and my extreme lack of a microphone and good lighting at the end really shows but its all things i'll be working on to make better now i'm up on a new channel again.
Whoop! On the plus side. Its good practice, great confidence boosting again. And given how much has changed for me over the past few years i can now set up in my salon, film tutorials and you can come with me on my new chapter of my weight loss journey!
