5 minutes 3 make up items courtesy of Beauty Box Subscriptions

So tonight I had 5 minutes after jumping out the shower and getting ready to get get my hair and make up done before walking into work.

A tangel teezer and hair band sorted my hair into a groomed and easy to do fishtail plait. And 3 gorgeous new products from my GlossyBox & Birchbox subscriptions helping me master the made up look.

I skipped foundation and concealer and instead opted just for the things that make me look glowing and awake. From July’s fabulous Stars and Stripes GlossyBox I’m using the full size Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara in I ♥ Black, and from the June Glossybox The So Susan Cosmetics Universal Blush then from my July Birchbox an easy to apply soft coral Laqa & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Bees Knees.

And the finished result…

What do you think I’ll update this blog and post ASAP with the latest box reviews, I’m halfway through each… So many products so little time, I love it!

Assessing your Skincare Needs – What’s your Skin Type?

To know why your skin needs in the way of products first you really need to get to know your skin, you need to be sure on your skin type, your skin concerns and any other factors that may effect what your skin requires. Below I have out together the real basics of Skin types so you can knowingly pick the right Skincare for you.

That’s without considering other factors that effect your skin including sun rays, ageing, environmental factors, pollution, hormones and diet all things to keep in mind when picking your products.

So what’s your skin type? What’s the main concern you try to target or protect yourself from in your Skincare? My eyes are super sensitive so I use a calming roller ball eye cream it’s lovely!

Motivational Mondays Leading the Way

Okay so this Monday I’m focusing on how we inspire others, I spent last week housebound because my 6 year old had chicken pox. I did suffer a bit of cabin fever but overall enjoyed the time I got to spend with my boys and I noticed how much what I do inspires my eldest, Finley.

I have been planning how I will return to work and some new ventures I will be taking part in, its meant some time while the baby was snoozing working away in the sunshine at the table in the conservatory and it made me smile how much my son wanted to be sat colouring in or working away next to me. You see Finley doesn’t like writing or colouring much and his fine motor skills are below what’s expected in school, but what I love is when you spark a passion or interest in Finley he will try his hardest to draw or write about it.

We don’t just influence the young around us, this last week I have noticed how my business and what I do inspires others including people older than me, this makes me feel fabulous its great to spark off someone else’s passion. So this week thinks about your actions and how you may be inspiring those around you without even knowing it or intending to. Try and keep your thoughts and actions positive and have a fabulous week.
