Dealing With Depression

Hey my Loves ! Todays post as you can see is about depression , this is something I find hard to talk about with anybody as these are just my own thoughts, experiences & feelings. I'm going to try and be as raw as possible on what its like to be a single mum battling with depression on a day to day basis. Now depression for me is not just one thing, its not just 'feeling down' for me its feeling down , being happy , feeling over/underwhelmed , the list goes on. Its not just how I'm feeling that day , its what's happened that day etc. Most people can just deal with having a bad day and say 'Ok F it tomorrows a new day' , but for me or maybe someone like me that way of thinking just seems so hard to do. Its hard to do because you think what's the point in hoping for a better tomorrow when this is your tomorrow (or so you think). You feel like nothing is going to get better nothing is going to turn around and give you that boost that you so b

What My Skin Has Been Loving

Hey my loves :) Today's post is all about the things my face/skin has been loving. As a beauty lover we all love experimenting with different products now and again and we like to see what works for us/against us etc , so we can let our fellow beauty lovers in on our secrets! So abit about my skin type : On my T-zone I'm very dry and flaky & on my cheeks I'm very susceptible to break outs and not just the odd pimple/blemish i mean full on not leaving the house unless I'm wearing a ski mask ha ! These products i have found help me combat the breakouts before they begin ..... So my facial routine is i wipe over my face with these :          My Murad Clarifying Wipes for blemish Prone Skin- I give my face a good little scrub with these. Then i use a cleansing Lotion and the one i use is: The Clean&Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive Skin- With this i use a cotton pad and rub it all over my face sometimes more than one if I've been out al

Revlon - Velvet Beige

Hey my loves :) So this is going to be a really quick little post about a new lip liner and lipstick i picked up a few days ago , called Velvet Beige 630 by Maybelline i also picked up the matching lip liner. I love this shade i think its a very everyday wearable colour , if i had to describe it i would have to say its like MACS "modesty" just maybe slighty more pink. Now the first is velvet Beige and the second picture is modesty just for comparison.    I swear they are different lipsticks seeing them side by side like this they almost do look the same but velvet beige is definitely more on the pinker side which i never thought i would suit but i think this is a perfect everyday colour for most skin tones. well that was short but sweet hope you enjoyed it  let me know what you think of these colours, if you love them, hate them or even haven't tried them. see you soon xox  

Thoughts on MAC "Lady Danger" & Dupe

Hey my loves!! Missed me ?? Anyway I'm back with a vengeance and I'm ready to kick whatever rut/slump I'm in right in the rear end. Anyhoo as you can tell from the title this is all about my new MAC lipstick "Lady Danger" , now i usually stay clear of these sort of colours as i find some wash me out a little but i absolutely love this shade on me (not to sound to big headed) ha! .... This is a Matt colour but it is not drying on the lips at all sits nicely around 4  hours i got out of it and then needed to reapply and straighten my lip line up as i do find this moves when drinking or eating. You can buy Lady Danger Here On paler skin teamed with winged jet black liner and bold lashes this is a great look. On tanned skin teamed with lashings on mascara this makes a perfect everyday look. I will insert a picture of myself wearing this shade with a tan and you can tell me what you think?!? (Please don't mind the weird pouting ha)

My re-introduction to MAC

Hi Ok so hey guys,  as you can see from the title this is my thoughts on my re-introduction to mac and the products!!  So why I swayed from using mac products for over 5 years!  Well at first I loved mac lipsticks, lip liners everything but my first hit was I found out I was pregnant,  with 1 child I could still afford my little luxuries,  but with 2 I knew it wasnt possible especially with both children still being quite small! Second reason was their foundation started breaking me out all of a sudden (maybe hormones) idk??  But also the lipstick formula just seemed to get crap....  So then I started on my hunt for drugstore foundations,eyeshadows & lipsticks that I felt where in the same quality that I was used too. So for years I have used revlon,L'Oréal, and mua and I still do but my main go to is now back to mac!!  They might not have changed their formula or anything but it just works for me know. I love it so my little collection has started building up and I w

Mermaid blue hair & What I did ?!

Hey guys this post is going to be all about my new fantastic mermaid purple-y blue hair & what I did to get there from having very darkest brown roots and mid lengths to reddish brown mid lengths and tips. Ok to start off this was my hair before I started  Although it doesn't look how I've described I promise you it was ... I had been to my hairdressers and she worked her magic !  Ok so my method was to not was my hair or put any products on for at least 2 days ! Any one with Afro English hair like me knows how hard that is to do !  Anyhooo so when your ready I wore an old top that I wasn't afraid of getting manky and an old towel too as they will be a state when your finished.  Then I sectioned my hair into a hot cross bun style so you have your four equal sections , I started to sort of my bleaching stuff and this is what I use. I went to Sally's beauty supply & got the dust free powdered bleach and 6% which is 20 vol peroxide , know my normal bleach is wella
