Friday Fave! Rosalique Redness relief day cream

I have long been a fan of the Rosalique 3-in-1 Anti-redness miracle formula which is excellent for covering redness and has SPF 50. I have used this daily for many years to improve the appearance of my mild rosacea.

However in recent months I have been using the redness relief day cream and I really love it. This cream immediately calms and soothes my skin nourishing it without feeling greasy or heavy. A definite Friday Fave!

I highly recommend this if you suffer from redness or have sensitive skin.

For best results I would follow up with the 3 in 1 Anti redness Miracle formula SPF 50.

Friday Fave! Revlon Nail Colour Ultra HD Snap! 'Red & Real'

I raved about this nail polish in the summer when I lived in shade 'She's on fire', a hot bright orange.  

Now the weather has turned more autumnal I was looking for a more wintery shade and have to say I LOVE this one ' Red & Real ', a beautiful rusty shade definitely a "Friday Fave!"

These nail colours are vegan made with 78% natural ingredients and dry super fast. One coat is all you need however I do usually apply two for a more professional finish. High shine opaque colour that I think lasts pretty well compared to other nail polishes.

Available in 14 shades.

RRP £7.99

August Update!

August was a busy one... holiday's and work it certainly flew by, but it was nice to enjoy some warmer weather at last even if it did rain a few days on our Mallorcan holiday!

We stayed in the tramuntana mountains and hired a car so we spent a lot of time travelling around different villages which was great as the weather wasn't really sunbathing weather for three or four days but also meant it wasn't as relaxing as it could have been. We particularly liked the villages of Deia and Vallemosa as well as Soller as the beautiful beach at Cala Santanyi.

Some of my Beautiful Brides who enjoyed sunny August wedding days!

Back to my studio for some trials ahead of Autumn weddings...

I am currently taking bridal bookings for 2025/26.  Reserve your date early to avoid disappointment.

Friday Fave! HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA BLUSH

I have two shades of this powder blusher in 'French Rosette' (peachy pink) and 'Hibiscus Haze' (rose pink).

These two shades are perfect new additions to my professional make up kit.  The pigment is intense so after one swipe applied with a soft round brush you will need to blend well to diffuse the colour seamlessly.

These are a particularly great choice for oily skin types who may prefer not to use a cream blusher.  There is definitely a shade to suit all!

I just love the packaging from the minimalist boxes and simple design to the click of the compact itself.

Talc-free and skin-care infused.  Haustech powered with fermented Arnica (helps reduce redness/irritation) + Hydraberry (hydrating). Vitamins C & E (Antioxidents protecting the skin), Plant Squalane (nourishes) and shea butter (softens and protects). 

Clean, Cruelty-free and Vegan.  Available in six inclusive shades from Pomelo to Watermelon, I just love these names!

5g £28.00.  Made in Italy.

September/October Update!

Well I noticed mid-way through October that I hadn't written my usual monthly blog update! 

I was obviously having too much fun or working too hard or a mixture of both! I did get away at the end of September to sunny Spain so maybe that is why, anyway I thought I would combine them together into one update. 

These have actually been slightly quieter months for me after a busy spring/summer although I always manage to occupy my time it seems there are never enough hours in the day lately and life speeds on quicker every day (does anyone else find that?).  I am actively trying to slow myself down and focus on one thing at a time to avoid getting stressed and overwhelmed... easier said than done and some days better than others!

We have just booked a week's winter sun though so I have that to look forward to, anyone else need something to get them through the winter months?  Christmas is fast approaching although it will be a lovely relaxed one at home for us this year so I am looking forward to the restful recharge!  I will be making a Christmas cake in the next week or so and feeding my Christmas pud!

November is a generally quieter month on my calendar although I do have makeup workshops and lessons taking place and pre-wedding trials ahead of those lovely Spring weddings! A few party makeup's coming up nearer to December as well. I'll also be getting a lot of work admin' tidied up ready for a fresh start in the New year and prepping for Christmas festivities.

Below is some snaps taken on my iPhone from September and October.

Wonderful September Birthday celebrations at The Ned hotel.
