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.

Slimming World - Week 2

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! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

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 ...
