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!

Could this be a Wonder Tub?! Ultimate Skin Saver
Hello everyone.
So, I have been suffering from really bad eczema on my hands and around my ankles and I had tried everything. Medication from the doctors, prescribed creams, drugstore creams, you name it, I've tried it.
All of these creams that I was trying were absorbing into the skin nicely but once absorbed in, the skin was dry and cracked again.
So, I'd been reading reviews online of the Liz Earle Superbalm and most of the reviews highly recommended the product and said that they have had some really good results out of it. So, I thought, 'Why not?!' I might as well try this product as well.
I bought it from a John Lewis store in Newcastle as unfortunately for us northerners this is the only place where Liz Earle is stocked! I paid £16.25 for a 30g tub. I thought it could only be used on areas like dry skin and eczema but NO it can be used almost everywhere for different things! This literally is the ultimate skin saver.
Because the product only has naturally active ingredients in it, it did not sting my skin when applied! Woohoo! It doesn't feel hydrating when applied, more like greasy and quite dry but once it absorbs into the skin, my dry areas started to feel more hydrated and the redness was going down! It can also be used on the lips as a hydrating lip balm, perfect for the winter months, and it can even be used on your scalp to help cure dry frizzy hair!
I have been using this product since last night and I have seen a massive improvement in my skin already and it looks like it is on the road to recovery! AT LAST!
£16.25 to cure my eczema? I'm sold.

Quick Beauty Tip!
Hello everyone!
It is almost the weekend, time to pamper yourself!
I am going to leave you with a quick beauty tip this evening, just before bedtime! Surprisingly you can do this whilst brushing your teeth!
Once you have brushed your teeth, lightly buff your tooth brush over your lips to get rid of any dried dead skin. This will leave your lips feeling as soft as a baby's bottom! Apply your favourite lip balm to keep them feeling moisturised and you're ready to go!
Thanks
