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.

Lip Blams

For a couple of years now I've been suffering with the worst case of dry/cracked lip imaginable. All day I am constantly applying lip balm as my lips without anything covering them is agony. They constantly crack and then bleed, they flake off and to be completely honest it isn't exactly very nice to be talking to someone and feel as though they are just staring at your flakey lips. So since I feel like I am an expert in the field of lip balm as I own and have tried what feel like hundreds over the past two years that I would give you my personal opinion on a few Lip Balm I have tried out recently and wether they were work the money, and if they have done anything to help my lips. 1. La Roche-Posay - Barrier Repairing Balm I initially bought this as I had heard Estee Lalonde rave about how good it was for helping her lips from being so cracked and sore so thought it would help me. I use this every night and lather it on my lips and yes I do think it helps...

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

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...
