Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette Review

I have been loving my urban decay naked palettes but I wanted a new one for fall with some different shades so I went to get a Too Faced eye shadow palette.  I came away with the Chocolate Bon Bons Palette.  It has 16 lovely shades with a range of matte and shimmer shades.  Perfect browns/red and pinks for autumn.  The colours are sooo pigmented to, and after trailing them over a week they do last all day!

Speaking in front of 100 people for charity.

Part of my job is organising events, whether they are corporate, for charity, or just for fun.  Earlier this year I decided to organise a Charity Black Tie Dinner to raise money for Together for Short Lives.  They work with children hospices around the UK.  As a company we are sponsoring them for the next 2 years.

So I booked the venue, invited the people, chose the theme and booked the entertainment.  I thought it would be fun and easy but it was a lot more hard work than that.

The theme I went for was James Bond, lots of films to choose from and hours scrolling through pintrest gave me plenty of ideas to  make the centre pieces.

Concealer Review

Another review for you here :)

I have tried and tested a number of concealers for a number of different problem areas that I have and I have found a few that work for me.  Most of these products are from a drug store so they are very affordable.

My Life update!

Hi all,

Sorry I have been quiet on here recently, I want to get at least 2 posts a week up on here but my day job has been taking over my life these past 2 weeks, as I am organising a Black Tie Dinner to help raise money for Together for Short Lives.

I am holding a black tie ball at Ribby Hall Village (a lovely hotel/spa/wedding venue near Preston, Lancashire (UK)) next week with a surprise theme! :)

I have had to organise it all from inviting friends, colleagues and clients, making the centre pieces and sorting out the seating plans.

It has been quite tiring and taken up a lot of my time, but I love it.  I think an events planner would be  good job for me, and I am doing a course in event planning next year :)

I will post lots of photos and update you more on how the event went next week, and reveal my surprise theme!

If there are any questions you have about organising an event from start to finish, please leave them in the comments below or tweet me.

Don't forget to give me a follow to keep upto date with my new posts.

Fake Tan

 As summer is coming to an end and Autumn/Winter is setting in, no more summer sun to keep my skin a lovely natural bronzed shade so I have to resort to sunbeds and fake tan to keep my skin glowing all year round!

 

My go to products at the moment are St Moritz in the mousse or Dove Summer Glow for medium to dark skin.  I'm not a naturally pale person so I do pick up the darker shade of the tans.

Primer

Choosing a good primer that lasts and doesn't make your make up slide around your face can be hard.

Each and everyone of us has a different skin tone and type.  Some products that work for your friends might not work for you.  I have had to go through a bit of trial and error to find ones that I like and that work for my skin. 

I sit watching you tube videos every day and I always like to try new products that people recommend, (I have been through quite a few!)

At the moment I don't have too many in my collection as I have found a couple that I really like.

All about Lips

Sorry I have been a bit quiet these past 2 weeks, I have been soooo busy at work I haven't been able to get my head into writing a blog post, but I am back, after a good nights sleep, a lazy weekend off work and time to get some posts wrote. 

Today I'm going to be talking all things lips, going through the products that I have and what are my fav, and also some of the products that I want to try out, and have yet to get my hands on.

I haven't got a HUGE collection of lip products, but it is slowly growing!

 

Stand I ordered from Ebay, it is an acrylic lipstick/lipgloss holder.

This keeps them all together neat and tidy
