Beauty Blender Vs Brushes


I imagine that whether you prefer to use a Brush or a Beauty Blender sponge to apply your make-up is very much down to the individuals preference. For years i applied my foundation with a flat brush and I wasn't ever 100% pleased with how the make-up would look or sit on my skin. It would always looked streaky or like it never sunk into the skin in a nice way - it always sat on top of the skin and was never blended very well.

Then I found a Beauty Blender at Space NK and thought I would give it a go since the brushes I had tried never seemed to work very well.



I was really impressed with the finish that the Beauty Blender - it really made the foundation sink into the skin so it made it look such a natural finish. 

The other reason that I enjoy using the Beauty Blender to a brush is that it takes a lot less time to buff the foundation into the skin. With the brush I feel like I stand there for ages buffing it into the skin and never seem to get the outcome that I really want. But with the sponge i find that it takes about half the time to get the result I preferred.

The only slight problem I have with Beauty Blenders is that I feel they do soak up a little of the product - which can be very wasteful as you are using more and wasting more. This can really be seen when they are getting cleaned as a lot of product does wash out.



Overall, I find the Beauty Blender takes half the time for the make-up to have that natural finish than the brush. I would recommend everyone to try out a make-up sponge if they are not  happy with the finish the make-up brush is giving them.

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum

Recently I have been trying a lot of night serums to try and improve the texture of my skin – I am glad to have found the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I haven’t really ever had the best textured skin, now that I wear make-up on a daily basis I notice the areas that are not the best even more. My make-up will stick to those areas or the texture pushes the make-up up over the area – this makes it even more noticeable to me. One night I took my make-up off and got really frustrated with my bad skin and took to google to find a product that would help me – the one that kept popping up and had good reviews was the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I quickly bought the product and as soon as it arrived I tried it out… needless to say I was not disappointed. I used this product   each night and it just blurs any bad texture areas, it makes my skin feel so soft which is what I look for from many of my skincare products. As this product blurs the texture it makes my make-up sit

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week!

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I
