The Perfect Nude !

So any makeup geek like mysel will of heard of the naked palette from urban decay. In fact urban decay not only have one, but currently have three diffrent naked palettes out at present. Each costing upwards of £20 or $25 roughly. These palettes aren't cheap. Yes there amazing quality, have good colour pay off and are a gorgeous collection of colours. 

However I think I've found a cheap Alternative to maybe not beat the urban decay palette but defiantly match it. It comes from a little known company called w7 this company has been going for years but is mainly known for it's nail polish. Some of it's product range in total honesty is known for being low cost and with out sounding snobbish but is genrally lower quality. Yet not with this in the buff shadow kit the pigment is great the colours are beautiful and all have names which I really like. This palette was a really please ant surprise so much so I had to write on it.

Retailing anywhere from £4.99 or $6.99 it is very inexpensive but simply just as good at the urban decay palettes for anyone on a budget or not. This kit is worth having some colours I preferred to the naked colours and some are very simular. Perfect starter kit and I certainly am getting a lot of use from it. All in all a great cheap alternative or a nude shadow collection to work along side the naked palette.

Thanks for reading hope this was helpful love and light x

Waist training in progress !

So far I have had my waist trainer three weeks, being honest with you mine is a little small for me so Iv not worn it as much as you should do. Iv worn it once a week at the gym and one full day on my day off work. Totaling 2 days a week or about 18 hrs. The waist trainer says to try and wear it 6 hours a day with one or two rest days a minimum of 30 hrs a week and this could easily be done if it's comfortable for you. However for me having got one a little smaller than expected it could be a little un comfy. Saying this though so far I have seen some noticeable results even if Iv only been wearing it two days a week. 

Firstly when wearing it a full day you don't feel as though you want to eat so much as it's pushing your stomach in. Although it doesn't claim this I feel as though it makes you feel fuller as your stomach feels a lot tighter as if full quicker. This could be as more pressure is put on the stomach as it expans. Secondly when excerising I really feel it's helping me sweat and tighten the muscles around my waist I turn helping towards the smaller waist. 

So far I've lost half a inch from my waist in three weeks this is great and if using this tool properly I'm sure you could achieve more. I'm hoping in another three weeks time it will become comfy to wear so I can wear it maybe three days. But for now I'm very happy with the product and would recommend just don't be temped to go for a smaller size go for a comfortable fit. 

Thanks for reading, I will keep you updated, blessings ! 

Cover up those nasty spots !

So prevention is the best cure ladies for any of you who haven't read my skin care routien and how to keep the skin flawless please check out my blog post on quinaderm. The best easiest way to get rid of those nasty lumps and bumps. However no matter what you do some times spots happen. It could be diet related, stress related, hormoanal changes , oily skin, the use of new products the lost is endless from time to time we all get those nasty spots. 

Here is my full face routien on how to cover up the nasty things and make it seem as though your skin is pretty much flawless ! 

So this is the after result of my step by step routien and here is the beginning spots that I'm trying to conceal below. As you can see I can a lovley little cluster of spots and even a white head on my chin and jawline typically because my spots are causes by hormoanal changes time on the months and stress related causes.

So here is my run though of products and how I apply them. 

To start I use benefits Porefessional on my larger pores mainly around my nose tapping into the skin in a patting motion. A cheaper option is baby skin by maybeline however for me Porefessional is worth every penny ! 

I then actually mix my 24 he by rimmel in with georgio armini lasting silk and apply al over my face. Doing so with clean fingers or damp beauty blender. I tend to no use brushes for foundation as they can harbour a lot of bacteria. 

I then take one of my favourite concealers from maybeline and apply to any visible spots letting it set for about 2-3 minuet before patting it in to blend. It's important to let the product dry on the skin in the areas it's needed more. 

I then will set with some powder the banna powder being a popular choice but any powder will do. 

I then go in with the lightest shade from collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer range. Just under the eyes and bridge of nose for a hilight effect. I will then powder under the eyes again to set them.

Finally I set the whole look with model in a bottle to keep it looking fresh and in place all day long highly recommend this product. 

Thank you for your time and I hoped this helped some body !

Lip pumps my experience.

August last year I was sent one of these bad boys as I'm sure my lovley readers may have seen my articles going into great detail about the pump. However after months of using it I feel I can give a true honest opinion and answer some of those questions I have received. Big lips are a big thing at the moment! For most of us naturally we aren't going to be able to achieve these plump Spanish looking lips with out fillers. But this is the lates trick we can try. The latest innovation being lip pumps .. Yes you read correctly lips pumps! 

Yes lip pumps are the world's first home use cosmetic lip enhancement beauty tool, clinically proven to increase lip volume and safe for intended use. With this suction tool, you can now enhance the appearance of both the upper and lower lip together or separately. The System is small, attractive, and portable. It can be used anytime and anywhere. Your lip enhancement session takes just a few minutes and the look lasts for up to two hours! And here is my exsperiance and questions answered!

Does it hurt ?

 No it is completely painless.

Does it last well ?

 I feel as though it lasts very well for a hour. I still feel my lips were bigger for up to three hours, but nothing more this is a temporary solution. Perfect for special occasions first date a meal out etc. However it would need repeating after 3 hours.

Is it easy to use ? 

Very easy and simple to use takes 2 or 3 minuets depending on how large you want to go then some lipstick and your good to go.

Does more pumping increase the size ?

Yes but be careful not to over pump or you could get a bruise no more than 3 minuets or I do 30 pumps and stop. 

Is there a better technique?

Yes make sure you skin is full on the suction cup and do slower pumps for more suction (no innuendos intended)

Would you buy and recommend this product ?

A big fat yes!

How often do you use it ?

Honestly I don't use it very much as my lips are fairly full but maybe one every other week for a date night. It always makes me feel good when I've done it.

Purple and pink makeup

When we think of purple eye shade a lot of us think of our early days. Maybe when we were 10 11 years old trying on makeup for the first time. Back then blue and purple eye shadow was my life. 🙊🙊 well today I decided to yet again create a look involving purple eyeshadow. This time however I've made it a more grown up look. Adding contouring browns and shimmering hilights.

 Purple for those with green or hazel eyes is actually a really good colour to use as it's almost opposite green in the colour wheel meaning it will enhance and bring out greenish yellow pigment making the yes look more vivid. 

For this look I also kept the whole feel very girlie with pink rose lips, a purple gilded top and pinky purple earings. Here is a run down of the steps and products I did for this look:

Face

First I started of with benefit primer perfection.

Then I applied foundation a mix of Estée Lauder double wear and maybellines 24hr.

I then concealed with collection 2000 concealer in light under the eyes and on any blemishes.

For contour I used my trusty sleek contour kit.

Blush I used natural rose from the natural collection at only 1.99 it's a bargain!

I hi lighted with benefits moon beam on my nose cheek bone chin and forehead.

Eyes

For eye shadows I used the naked pallets sin all over my lid. 

I used virgin on the top of my brow bone for a hilight.

I then took a light lilac colour from a collection 2000 pallet and plied just in the outer section on my lid.

I then took buck from the naked pallet and contoured my eye crease lightly.

I also took this colour underneath dr my eyes. 

I then added husle from the naked pallet to the under eye and crease.

The husle added a more dramatic night look to the basic makeup Nd is optional depending on what look you are hoping to achieve, be it day or night time. 

Lashes and lips

For lashes I used a half pair of Demi whispie strip lashes which I cut in half just to add drama to the end of my lashes. I uses max factor false lash effect mascara.

For lips I used Estée Lauder double wear lip liner in Twany.

For lipstick I used max factors lip infinity lipstick in the palest pink shade they do and then a mid pink for the outer corners to give a slight ombré feel to the look.

Thank you for reading and hve a beautiful and blessed day ! 

Much love xx

Emerald and gold

Inspired by my new emerald and gold earings I've created a diffrent twist on a classic smokey eye. Using diffrent colours than the genral natural shades. Using the colours of key pieces of jewellery is a fun way to match makeup to outfit. When doing this I usually wear white or black and keep the  colour only on my lids and key jewellery piece. 

Here I used colour tattoo in gold from maybeline as a gold base.

I then applied a deep emerald green colour from Barry m dazzel pots.

I applied this only in my eye crease and outer corner.

I used bobby browns gel liner in black.

I then finished the eyes with ardells Demi whispie lashes.

For lips I kept them natural using macs spice lip line.

And Creme le nude from maybellines 24hr collection.

Hair was curled with a babyliss wand and the top half tied.

Hope you enjoyed this quick makeup upload and thank you for the lovley comments and messages I receive each day. Find me on Instagram @susiex92

Halloween makeup !

Something abit diffrent for the Halloween season a cracked living/dead doll makeup. Not only is this look abit unusual it also alows us to not only show a slightly freeky scarey side but actually a little glimpse of beautiful makeup in the living side. This for any makeup geek is a fun thing to play around with and will look great for Halloween if your not wanting to go down the blood and gore theme. 

Here's how it's done : 

Step 1: apply foundation to a 1/4 of your face whiten 3/4 of the face neck and chest.

Step 2: apply black eye liner in jagged lines to form what looks like a crack.

Step 3: use red lipstick as dolls genrally have darker lips.

Step 4: use a pick/red blush on the apple of your cheek.

Step 5: use false eyelash on the alive eye and a light brown eye shadow on the lid.

Step 6: use a darker brown in the crease of you eye.

Step 7: use this darker shade under the eye slightly too.

Step 8: darken brow and shape.

Step 9: set with powder and setting spray

Step 10: step back and admire your work 😉

Hope this was inspiring for some of you and and have a wonderful Halloween ! 

Makeup do's and don'ts

Today I thought I'd do a really quick post on makeup mistakes ! Simple things that we all need to be aware of when applying the makeup!

1. Your makeup is not a mask, use it to enhance you not cover you.

2. Even I am guilty of over caking when a dreaded spot appears but remenber less is more.

3. Your eyebrows are meant to be made of hair not powder and certainly not eye liner. Remenber to just lightly enhance don't fake what isn't natural. (In all aspects of life 🙊)

4. Lips big lips are where it's at now in the beauty world but don't over draw to much natural is key.

5. Do you naturally blush like that ? Blusher should be a hint of colour like a pinch to the cheek more than a thump to the face. Avoid harsh reds and apply not just to the apples but up to the hair line.

6. Your foundation should match your neck and blend seamlessly down.

7. Natural eye shadow shades are recommended to a more sultry eye don't go for to many over the top colours unless the rest of the face is neutral.

8. Don't go too light under the eyes. Yes go lighter there but not to the point of it being a obvious triangle of white.

9. Contour naturally we don't want to see brown lines everywhere!

10. Always smile no amount of makeup can change how pretty it is to see a smile!

Organic beauty !

Organic beauty is somthing many of us love and i adore organic beauty ! But what is it exactly? Well it's beauty based products that contain no nasty chemicals or harsh ingredients. Not only this but most organic products are genrally ethically made and tested. Meaning products will be cruelty free with no animal testing. They also promote a fair trade philophy paying a fair price for stock, Ingredents ect this helps third world country's and any product promoting fair trade is taking slightly less money for themselves in order to do the right thing for disadvanged country's. This should be highly commended. Many of these types of products are considered better for the skin and genral well being. Most if not all ingredients come naturally from the earth, being so natural and chemical free you can see why people love organic ranges. In this article I have included some organic products that not only offer organic luxary but are genuinely fantastic well working products in there own right organic or not.

So starting of with skin care. This part of beauty is very important all the creams, lotions and potions you put on your skin are absorbed into dermis. A face full of chemicals and pollutants is needless to say not doing you any good. Natural products and extracts will go into the deeper layer of your skin and actually help mend, restore and strength the skin in a natural way. Pure&light is a beautiful range of organic skin products, making a Big bag into the beauty world with over 27 certified luxary organic Ingredents in some of there formulas. Their face creams, serums and lotions combat a number of problems not just one or two. Not only this but all pure&light products have no parabens, artificial ingredients, fragrances or Gbms. 

Pure&light say:

"We do believe that skin care should be simple. So we have brought in a new concept of purity and simplicity into the skin care market. Our organic skin care range is simple to use. Although simple to use and it looks simple there is years of study, hard work and experience behind them to bring you a simple solution for having a product which balances and stimulates cell production, production of collagen, skin renewal, sebum control, and so on, without concerning you with any of the details and just wanting you to enjoy the scent and the positive effects of our organic skin care range on your skin and the positive side effect which they bring to your emotions. Making it a simple and happy way."

Trailing thiese products for house of coco I personally have had amazing results not only do the products smell great, look great and feel great. They actually work ! My skin felt wonderfully hydrated, smoother and just more raident with a healthy glow. House of coco would defiantly recommend them  and would make great presents for yes I'm about it say it ... Christmas ! Click here to go straight to there website http://pureandlightorganic.eu/

Next we come to a wonderful organic product for hair colouring ! Having worked in salon throughout my life I have always loved the concept of a hair colour that would be completely natural. Not only do normal hair colours smell, occasionally irritate the scalp and don't get me started on the stinging they cause our eyes. Natural hair colour is always going to be so much better. In fact it is a technique that has been around for century's with herbal and henna dye being seen right back to agent Egyptian times. But non more widely accessible to the u.k market than khadi. Khadi offers an amazing array of colours which come in a powder form all you have to do is add water and your away ! 

Khadi is not only 100% herbal and certified a natural cosmetic, I truly feel you get a lot for your money. Yes it isn't the conventional way of home hair colouring, but in my professional opinion for home use it's a better way. Trying this on my own hair doing just my root area I was able to use the product five times. It gave me a beautiful shine and really made my hair feel soft and conditioned. For more information or other beautiful gifts please do not hesitate to check out the khadi website. http://www.khadi.pl/

Soaps and sanitisers. Dr bronners magic soaps and fair trade products are getting more and more well known to the u.k market not only really good value for money but they smell amazing! Currently being rolled out in all tescos in the u.k. The packaging reflects the fair trade image with most product being wraped in paper there is somthing really pleasing about holding these products and the sense your doing good in the world is very satisfying. 

The product it's self smells delicious ! They do just as it says on the packet each soap liquid or bar form has a diffrent essential oils in them. This makes the smell beyond beautiful and it's quite a lasting fragrance with I myself really like. The spray sanitizer in lavender smelt amazing I wouldn't use any other spray on sanitizer after trying this one. It's travel sized, fair trade, doesn't make you hands feel gooey and again the smell is just beautiful. There are so many product I. This range that I am yet to try from soaps to shampoos but one things for sure I will defiantly be re buying this organic fair trade wonder product ! Again for more information check out the website or head to a local stockist. https://www.drbronner.com/

The final product I have tried and tested in organic beauty is actually somthing I never thought possible. Organic nail varnish ! Zoya for many is quite a well known brand of polish but not everyone is actually aware of there ethics behind the product. Not only does the Zoya  last really well making my manicure last a grand total of 7 days un chipped it's safe and natural. I was very pleasantly surprised that there are no nasty polish smells and the colour range is just amazing ! There really isn't much more to say about this product other than this is fantastic quality nail varnish at it's best. With the added bonous of it being safe and natural. At a reasonable price be sure to check out there website for more information http://www.zoya.com/

So thank you for reading and I hope that's tempted you to try some amazing organic beauty products ! Hit the like button at the bottum of this post if you would be interested in here about organic makeup ! 

Be your beautiful self !

Here is a inner beauty topic i really have wanted to write on for some time ! Being un-apologetically you ! Letting your true self shine through no matter how nervous,shy or what pressures you may have on you to conform to what others see as usual or "the norm".I should note this is completely my own personal opinion and has been requested to me numerous times by my lovely readers. So today I felt i would give you my view on being yourself, also touching on how to be confident after you've had a knock down as many of you lady's have requested. 

In the age that we live in there are a lot of pressures to conform to the stereo types of the modern world. Every day we are subjected to this false idea of what is normal and how we should be. I find more and more of us are oppressing our natural selves and acting in a way to follow the trends we see. Ofern these trends coming from social media, television and just generally what we are subjected to as normal behavior.

 However its really important to truly know how beautiful it is to be uniquely you ! I find people who have different interests, talents and quirks are the best people you could ever meet. I feel strongly that you should never loose yourself in the crowd. In fact while everyone is doing the same dance, if your the one doing your own steps you stand out the most. 

What im trying to say in simple terms is don't be afraid to be different, be silly, be playful. Be whatever you want, if it doesn't hurt anyone and it makes you happy do it! For me i think alot of the stereo types we are suppose to look up to aren't very helpful to us. They promote alot of things that for centuries have been frowned upon. The morals that have always been there today are generally lost in this quest to conform to the stereo type.

 For some people this kind of lifestyle works for them and if its what you want then go for it . I don't want to judge peoples life choices. However from my own view point i really have to say that in a world where so many people act in the same trends going out every weekend, being promiscuous, having lower levels of self respect and worth. You will shine brighter than anyone if you don't conform. Im just saying treat yourself like you'd want your daughter be treated like. People will treat you the way you allow yourself to be treated.

Coming to the second issue. Sometimes people don't see that worth no matter how lovley you are as a person. Some people just won't treat you quite how you hoped, knock downs can be hard to take. But truly know within your soul that they where never worth you. Be it a friendship or a relationship if someone treated you badly, put you down, hurt your heart or let you down have a belief that they where never as good as you had thought them to be. Confidence is a inner believe that you as a person are enough. You are good enough, beautiful enough, clever enough. You are enough for anyone because you are the best version of yourself. There will never be anyone who can be you or do you better because you are the only one. 

So for tips on confidence I would say to get comfortable in your skin. Truly understand that you are a diamond and they are rare to find. If somone hurts you and tries to lower that inner peace and confidence with horrible words or unexplained actions. Know that it's a fault within them not you. 

Some people secretly like drama anyone that wants to bring you drama is below you. In my teens I had a lot of drama,  some of which was self inflicted. Some of which was brought to my door.  I had a couple of unhealthy relationships. At one point I felt as though I loved two people and caused them both pain believe me when I say I no I'm not perfect no one is. We all go through dramas, ups and downs. Believe me Iv delt with so much drama in my younger years it would be enough for several lifetimes :p but there are people who live for these ups and downs who love to chase and play games. Iv been there. But believe me these people just aren't ready yet.

This is no reflection on yourself they are just not in the right place in there life's. I use to be one of these people, but as you get older you actually realise that life isn't about drama. It's about love being the best version of yourself. Surporting your partner to reach both of your goals. It's about the beauty of every day making every day the best. When you get married you will not want unnecessary drama then you will want quiet self bettering happiness. You will want to be with the person that makes you better makes you work harder. For some people this state of mind is not reached till later on in life. Seems to be very late for some men now days. 

A lot of relationships work out if the timing is right, some things where just never meant to be. And again that's no reflection on you as a person. As the saying goes somthings fall apart for better things to come together. I truly believe that. For me moving on becomes very easy. Not because I didn't love or care for the person but simply because if I ended it I no I gave it all the time it deserved I would of done all I could. Or if they ended it they just weren't right for me and they will not have truly seen the value in me that another man would. So it makes it easy to move on. I have been called heartless before, but when you truly no your own value you don't dwell on people who don't. You move on. Not to anyone may I add they will have to be special have somthing going for them but these people come along May not be today or next week but he will be there when the times right.

Relationships be it friendships, romantically or work related are the biggest causes of low self esteem. So truly think bout who your spending your time around. Are they deserving of you? There won't be many that you can whole hearted say yes to. Don't give anyone your valuable time who doesn't deserve you. But when you do give someone that time be nothing but yourself. At least you will no you where always true to yourself.

And always know you are enough !

Bryt skin care !

BRYT Skincare is a relatively new skin care range, providing skin care for youthful skin. The products are specifically targeted towards young adults between the ages of 13-25.  I have been so impressed with this range of products, we wanted to give it the praise it deserves and we're sure it wont be long before this line of products is common place in every salon/spa in the UK. It's what young skin has been waiting for and it's so refreshing to see a brand targeting skin prevention instead of anti-ageing when damage had already be caused. As the well know phase goes... prevention is always better than cure. 

BRYT skincare's philosophy is their belief that paying attention to your skin throughout your early life will ensure your skin is healthy, fresh and clear, with long-lasting benefits.

BRYT say that 'good healthy skin gives us all an air of confidence and well-being and is especially important when we perhaps feel a little vulnerable in other areas of our lives.'

We couldn't agree more!

As teenagers and young adults, our bodies are going through a time of transition and our skin is so often a reflection of that change. That's why BRYT Skincare has created this collection of products to help re-establish and maintain the skin’s natural equilibrium, especially as we grow into young adults.

Not only this but BRYT's skincare range protects the skin from free radicals, pollution, sun, wind, rain, heat and cold and dietary toxins (collectively called free radicals), as these hazardous elements on young skin can have hugely detrimental effects on skin as we mature.

From my own personal trail on the products, using the four step system of makeup remover, cleanser, moisturizer and calming serum. I have had great results with my skin. But before getting into the benefits. I was really impressed with how the products arrived to me, nicely wrapped and packaged in tissue paper it was like opening a present! The information booklet that comes with the products is also very helpful. Its full of information and actually gives you the step by step instructions on the best way to optimize the use of your BRYT products. Not only this but it goes into the the pacific reasons why they use what they use in there products. Which for a avid beauty blogger like myself this is fantastic. Theirs information  id never heard before.. which is great! 

As for the skin analysis my skin is oily combination skin and there are different products for different skin types so it is good to know your skin before purchasing. All the products worked really well doing exactly what they state. I was particularly impressed with the calm serum, which balanced out my skin not only did it really work for me, but the products themselves smell amazing. (That spa like smell). 

All and all my trail of the products over the month have been very positive iv noticed a diffrence within a month and i have no doubt i would see more over time. These are products that you feel good using you know they are genrally doing you good as there natural based and havent got any chemicals you really dont need in  you skin.

So happy using !

All about threading !

Threading is one of the oldest methods of body hair removal. It originated in Turkey, although it is currently most popular in India and other parts of the Middle East. Today, threading is also gaining popularity in Western cosmetology. It is widely seen in malls and shops all over America and England. My sister actually works in house of Fraser doing eyebrow threading. It is extremely popular and growing more and more so.

Threading involves the practitioner rolling twisted cotton threads over hairlines to remove unwanted hair. To do this, the threader holds one end of a cotton thread between her teeth and the other in her left hand. The middle part of the thread is looped through the index and middle fingers of the right hand. The loop is used to trap unwanted hair so that it can be easily plucked from the skin. This is a difficult technique that takes practitioners many months to perfect.As with all methods of body hair removal, there are both advantages and disadvantages to threading.

Perfect threading

• Threading lasts longer than most hair removal methods, barring laser removal which is a permanent procedure.
• Threading is much healthier for the skin than waxing, and it creates no ingrown hairs
• It is inexpensive and fast
• Threading is suitable for all skin types, even those too sensitive for laser hair removal or waxing.
• It takes no more than 15 minutes to thread both eyebrows.
• No chemicals are used in threading, so there is no risk of a negative reaction.
• The results of the treatment last for two to four weeks

Disadvantages

• The process is a little uncomfortable as it like plucking a few hairs at a time.
• Threading only works on flat surfaces and does not work on bikini lines or knees. But really shouldnt be carried out any where other than the face.

So that's my run down about threading its my preferred method of hair removal and it really does last well. Make sure your threader understands exactly what shape you want and asks you regularly to look in a mirror to see how your shape is looking. If you are nervous about it please let your threader no this will insure they take extra care and will hand you the mirro more offern. Then all that's left to do is enjoy your lovely perfect crisp shaped brows! 

Happy Threading !!!
