VALENTINES GIFT IDEAS - FOR HIM

Well hello there my lovelies! You may have noticed a little change to the blog! I hope you like it! I simply love it!

So, Christmas and New Year is done and dusted and it is now time to start having a little think about the next occasion that will be happening in just over 2 weeks time! Some get terrified at the thought of Valentines and some simply love it! Fear not if you are stuck on what to get your special loved one, I am here to help!

This post is what I think would be lovely to treat HIM to, so this could be your crush, boyfriend, partner or husband, or what ever you simply would like to call him! So, gone are the days where you simply exchange a little red rose and a cuddly teddy that you know for a fine fact that he will never use, here you will find something that you know he will like!

So, the first gift you could start off with is an AFTERSHAVE that you know he likes, or you could be a little bit adventurous (I know I'm not!) and pick the scent for him yourself! That way, you know that he will be smelling lovely, just how you like it!

Paco Rabanne 1 Million 

Th first gift is the Paco Rabanne 1 Million. I think that this fragrance is absolutely lovely! In fact I think that I may be a little obsessed with it because when someone passes me and I get just a little whiff, I fall in love, the smell is so fresh and sensual! I just need to get to that smell! To be honest, I think that this fragrance is now a classic. I'm sure your man would thank you for getting him this fragrance as I'm sure he will feel like he is worth a million dollars, knowing that his aftershave is infused with a little sprinkle of gold!

SCHOOL/ MINIMAL MAKE UP TIPS

Hello! I hope that you are as excited about the snow as I am!

Anyway getting on with todays post!

Today I thought that I would talk about minimal make up that is natural looking and can be acceptable in your school (that's if make up is permitted!)

When it comes to picking your foundation I would go for a tinted moisturiser or a light to medium coverage foundation. You want to try and stay away from the heavier foundations as I believe that when you choose to wear them, they do not look good on your skin and your skin won't thank you for it either! I would also say the same goes for concealer!

When doing eye make up, you really want to try and keep it simple. Try to stick to just one to two colours. When I do a minimal make up look I like to keep my eyeshadow to a light colour with a hint of shimmer to brighten up the eyes. Occasionally I would take a soft dark colour underneath the eye to define the eyes.

Curling the lashes really helps to brighten and open the eyes making them standout even more.

For blusher I go for a soft looking colour and apply it to the apples of the cheeks, I think that it makes the skin look lovely and fresh for the day ahead. I prefer to use a cream blush as it looks loads more natural on the skin and gives a nice dewy finish to the cheeks.

If you have a drier skin type I would avoid powdering the skin as I believe it really isn't necessary for a minimal look but if you find your skin tends to get oily throughout the day I would add a little powder to the skin to help prevent oil breaking through and melting your make up away.

As for lips, stick with a neutral shade that compliments your skin tone! I would go for a tinted balm or a lip gloss.

I will be uploading a tutorial for a minimal look on a budget later on in the week to show you guys how I would do a natural look!


Thank you for reading guys and I hope to be back again soon!

What make up products would you recommend for natural looking make up? Let me know, I always love to hear from you!
