FRIDAY FAVE! Schwarzkopf got2b GLUED blasting freeze hairspray

got2b GLUED blasting freeze hairspray.

This has been a staple in my kit for years now, if you are looking for a strong hold hairspray without hair feeling crunchy this is the spray for you!

Easily spotted in its bright yellow can this is often seen in any pro' hairstylist's kit bag backstage and on set. It is a go-to reliable choice for strong lasting hold without stickiness and flaking.

The best bit! It is super affordable often found under £5.00 and is easy to purchase in Tesco, Boots Superdrug and many others.

For me it is essential for long lasting and well set curls for my Brides.

It is quick drying and brushes out of the hair easily, with a light citrus scent and is a vegan formula.

This product is great for helping to achieve and hold extreme hairstyles even in challenging conditions such as humidity and wind...  Spiked styles, sleek updos, taming flyaways you name it ...this hairspray is all you need.

Pro Tip! For max hold and zero church layer the application. A light spray, let it set for around ten seconds, then add a second light spray. This tried and tested method builds a strong yet flexible hold- perfect for styles that need staying power without looking stiff.

A cult favourite and definitely a "Friday Fave!"

MAY UPDATE!

A busier month of weddings but also I have been super busy with 1:1 makeup lessons and workshops meeting lots of ladies and talking all things makeup.

My toy poodle turned one so we celebrated with some lovely long walks, visited the Cotswolds for the weekend and even took him to the Cotswolds Zoo, it is dog friendly!  https://www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk A highlight was a trip to Pizarro for a lovely Spanish dinner http://josepizarro.com/venues/pizarro-restaurant-bermondsey/ , note it is also dog friendly and he enjoyed his train ride and time in London.

When not working I have enjoyed being on some lovely dog walks, we certainly had some gorgeous weather to enjoy at last!! Blooming gorgeous flowers everywhere, I have so many photos on my phone of random flowers on walks! Plus I treated myself to some pretty peonies.

I also did a martini masterclass https://www.hermitagerd.co.uk which was fab' but I think we were all a little delicate the day afterwards.

I am looking forward to June as we have a little holiday planned and lots of beautiful June brides to work with.

FRIDAY FAVE! Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint

Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint

As a natural makeup expert I am always trying and testing the latest bases to achieve a natural, beautiful complexion on my clients. Lisa Eldridge’s seamless skin enhancing tint certainly ticks the boxes! A firm "Friday Fave!"

The Details…

This is a beautiful natural base that is buildable, perfect for achieving a fresh radiant complexion.

It hydrates, nourishes and plumps the skin as it is made up of 78% skin care ingredients.

The comfortable light, crease-proof formula means it blends seamlessly even around the eye area too!

Available in 20 shades. There are some incredible pale shades too for those ladies that struggle!

I absolutely love the clean, white, simple packaging inspired by Lisa’s love of the Artist Barbara Hepworth.

Those that know me will know I have long adored MAC Face & Body radiance foundation but this is definitely a great similar alternative.  I also find I can achieve more coverage with this so it’s a great new addition to my pro’ kit.

Plus points!

Contains no parabens, alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, mineral oils, talc, microplastics, PFAS or gluten!

Vegan and cruelty free.

My Pro Tip!

Shake before applying in very thin layers (Lisa recommends 2 drops on the back of your hand to begin).  Blend each layer well using a brush until you reach your desired coverage. Apply more or less in different areas of the face where you may need more/ less coverage.

Definitely a firm Favourite in my pro' kit!

£37.00 Available in 20 shades from www.lisaeldridge.com

APRIL UPDATE!

Lovely sunny April! I am loving this warmer weather with bright blue skies and sun... just what I needed!

We managed to get a nice long weekend in Norfolk over Easter and the weather was lovely there too which made such a difference, believe me I have done many a wet, cold break in Norfolk. We took our little 11 month old toy poodle and he absolutely loved it, even went on a boat trip on the broads!

 

It was't all sun! so the perfect time for a little boat trip in Wroxham.

He is also loving the sunshine and lays in the sun soaking up the rays and playing ball for hours, a perfect time for mum to practice her photography skills!

I have met some truly beautiful ladies recently for makeup, these are some I managed to snap on my iPhone.  All glowing, radiant and gorgeous! It really is such a pleasure to do my job : )

Wishing you all a happy and healthy May and I am really looking forward to working with lots of May clients and my beautiful May Brides!
