At the moment I feel like I’m in a bit of a make-up rut, as no matter where I go, I do not know how much make-up I should be applying. For daytime I usually stick to BB cream, concealer,eyeliner, mascara, blush and lip balm and replace BB cream with foundation and add eyeshadow, highlighter, lipstick and false eyelashes for nights out. But... depending on who I am with, I either feel like I am wearing too little or too much, as half my friends don the more natural look and others tend to prefer wearing a rather heavy layer. Also, seeing girls on Instagram cake their face in make-up just to take their dogs for a walk is making me reconsider how much I should be wearing in the daytime. I’m not usually one to be heavily influenced by other people as I am quite opinionated myself and can make my own decisions without help of others, but when it comes to how much make-up to wear within the day, I’m lost! What do you think is an appropriate amount of make-up to wear in the d

I think "the one" has finally been found. During the day, I find foundations too heavy and "cakey" for my skin, as although I complain about my complexion a lot, I do have pretty good skin which tends to behave most of the time.

I picked up shade 01 in their Colour-Adapting Tinted Cream for £12 last week and I am amazed every single time I use it. The cream comes out white, which at first I found a bit strange but thankfully when it is worked into the skin the colour

  Ojon Damage Reverse Shampoo & Conditioner In November, John Lewis (and basically every store which stocks Ojon) held an event in which you could trade in a bottle of any brand shampoo or conditioner and you’d receive this duo for free, I think it was to promote the recycling of plastic… can’t really remember! Baring in mind this would set you back around £41 at its RRP, I was thrilled! I’d previously seen a few beauty bloggers rave about Ojon products which made me want to try some myself, so I made sure I got to the store rather early to pick up my freebies. For the first few uses, my hair genuinely felt different. It became much more slick and easy to manage and as I previously used a lot of heat, it seemed to work wonders on the ends of my hair. But, after using them as my every-other-day shampoo and conditioning products, I started to notice my hair feeling dryer and I felt like my hair was becoming immune to the restoring properties promised by the product.
