Seen as its Friday, and I happen to be having a girls night out tonight I thought I'd do a post about getting glammed up! Before you do anything moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Pay special attention to around your mouth and eye area. I like to give myself a mini massage as this gets the blood flowing and stimulates a natural glow :) Let this soak into your skin for at least 5 - 10 minutes... Make sure your brows are looking perfect, I usually tweeze after a shower as the pores are open and its less painful, fill in any gaps with your favourite brow pencil/shader. Apply a medium shade of colour from lashline to crease and use a darker shade in the crease to create some drama and take this up toward the brow bone, blending all the time! This should accentuate your eyes and make the colour pop. (Use whatever colours you desire) Eyeliner is a girls best friend, well, mine anyway. Lining your eyes is a great touch and you can go crazy with colours and sparkles. You can also...

So at the moment a lot of us are job hunting, pounding the pavements looking for our next brilliant career move, or just some cash! First impressions last so as well as looking your best with your outfit make up is just as , if not, more, important! You want to convey your attention to detail and neatness, look smart and these are all key to your appearance. I always feel more confident when I look my best and this will come across to your interview panel. I like to keep it simple. Wash and dry your hair the night before, or the morning of the interview, depending on your routine and ensuring your not late! If you have long hair, I would perhaps tie it up put it in a nice sleek bun etc. that always looks good, or wear it down nice and styled. Exfoliate your skin the night before and put on lip balm to ensure your lips are nice and soft for the interview day. I really like the benefit big beautiful eyes palette and the too faced romantic palette. Give yourself plent...

So I decided I wanted to get a new face wash and after looking at some different products and reviews I went for the clean and clear facial morning energy wash. The packaging is bright orange so that caught my attention right away! It also has a pump lid which I really like as you can use a little and it goes a long way. The smell is amazing, it really wakes me up in the morning its so fresh and feels great on your skin. I do use this at night as well, I've been using it for three weeks now and I would really recommend it. I feel like it leaves a nice glow to my skin as well. It's nice and gentle and contains vitamin c and ginseng.     150ml cost me £3.00 which is great for the amount and brand :)

So I do love the soap and glory brand, the packaging is so girly and retro and any of the products I've previously used have been fab. I was looking for a really good, gritty body scrub, particularly to use with fake tan. This is so gorgeous! The smell is amazing and it really leaves your skin feeling soft and silky. Its really gritty so exfoliates so well and of course its pretty to look at ;) Ingredients include peppermint oil, lemonade tree liquid, vitamins and orange waterjuice. This was on offer (3 for 2) at Boots.com but I'm not sure if that deal is still going. It does cost £8.00 per 250ml which I know is a little pricey but you really do get what you pay for with the great brand and I only use a small amount and it goes a long way!
