Summer Bridal: My Makeup Go To’s
The summer months are often my most busiest when it comes to wedding bookings, and this has meant I’ve had to really nail the art of making makeup not only last all day long, but to make sure it withstands the summer heat! I’ve found the products that are the most important to me when doing a bridal makeup are base products. For me they need to stand the test of time, but also aren’t heavy on the skin. I tend to chose products which give a natural look on the skin, and I only really add lots of coverage in areas where I feel its needed! PRIMER: My top…

I Finally bought a ‘Big Brush Buddy’!
MY KIT CO. Big Brush Buddy review After I got my new Zuca Case for my birthday and had to reorganise how I store and travel with my kit, I was struggling to find a good way to store my brushes and how to fit them in my new Zuca! At the time I had all of my brushes in a brush holder pot and a brush roll, but I found these didn’t fit in my Zuca along with all my other kit. I then tried to store my brushes in one of my Softies by MY KIT CO. which did actually fit into my Zuca, but I was concerned…

I got a Zuca!
For most of my career in makeup I’ve worked with dozens of artists who use Zuca cases to carry and organise their kit, and I’ve always wanted one! They are on the pricier side for a case, with the PRO Artist version coming in at £299, so are definitely an investment! I was lucky enough to receive a PRO Artist Zuca for my 21st birthday last weekend. I was so shocked and thankful, I think my family must have known I was in need of a new case for my makeup, as my current one was falling apart a bit! The thing I love most about the Pro Artist Zuca…

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Precision Peel – My Spa Experience
Anyone who knows me will know I suffer from very dry and sensitive skin, something which was caused by Roaccutane (a super intense acne treatment). I’ve struggled so much over the past few years to find products that have worked, but finally I’ve found Elemis. I’m a huge lover of this brand, which I first discovered on a trip to the gorgeous Staddle Stone Spa in Highclere, and I’ve been going back for facials ever since! Yesterday I went on a lil trip to the Spa with my mum, and of course an Elemis facial was the treatment I was going to get! Usually when I go to see the…

MY KIT CO. softies set review
Last week I received my first ever order from My Kit Co. the makeup brush, bag and accessories company designed for makeup lovers by a makeup artist! The brand is well known and loved by many makeup artists across the country, and I’ve seen their products in plenty of kits belonging to artists that I have worked with. I decided it was finally time to order myself some storage bags from their website, and I came across their new collection called ‘Softies’. I picked up the multipack set which includes three different sizes for £25. Upon arrival, my order came in a secure padded envelope, which I thought was great…

BH Cosmetics Signature Rose Gold Brush Set Review
BH Cosmetics is a mid range cosmetics brand who not only sell makeup, but brushes!! Brushes which I use in both my professional and personal makeup kits. I first picked up a set of their brushes at my local TK Maxx, and have now purchased three sets! Personally the quality for the price is amazing, which is great for an artist like me who requires lots of brushes! After re-organising my kit and deciding I needed some new brushes, I bought this Rose Gold set from Beauty Bay. The pack only cost me £25 and contains 13 brushes (which I thought was a decent price for this amount of brushes)…
