March Update!

March has flown by, it didn't feel particularly busy for me but looking over the photos I have taken it feels it now!

I had the pleasure of doing natural hair and makeup for this gorgeous gal Hope Virgo who has just written her first book, what an achievement! 'Stand Tall Little Girl' about her journey wth anorexia.

Kit faves!

Some of my current kit faves...

If you want to achieve super shiny hair you need this finishing spray in your life, my No.1 for shine!



Micellar waters have been popular for cleansing in recent years and these new one's by L'oréal come in nice big bottles to suit different skin types, a big thumbs up from me.



I love this hairspray! It smells good, achieves long-lasting hold without clogging hair and finishes with a nice shine to boot.  I like the handy 1.5 oz handbag size too : )



In love with Nars blushers at the moment. Shade 'Orgasm' has always been a favourite but both 'Deep throat' and 'Desire' are great for creating a fresh pink flush.  Shade 'Nico' is a stunning highlighter I use it in combination with these pinks to achieve a gorgeous glow.



I love Kiko lip products in general for packaging, price, longevity, colour choice the list goes on ... This 3D Hydra lipgloss in shade '04' creates a stunning glossy full lip.  I have been applying it over all different lip shades and it always looks amazing.
