January Update!

Who said January is a quiet month? Wow! I've had a super busy month organising makeup trials ahead of this summer's weddings and lots of shoots travelling all over the south east of England.
I have also spent some time organising my home office making sure everything is up to date as well as a lot of diary organising for at least the next six months!

Here is just a few of the beauties I have had the pleasure of meeting this month.

I worked at two beautiful weddings at Luton Hoo http://www.lutonhoo.co.uk alongside Jaydean at http://www.hairbyjaydean.com where we are both the recommended suppliers.

We saw the New Year in staying at a boutique hotel in Winchelsea and spent a wonderful New Years day at Camber Sands literally blowing away 2015 and a had a lovely time wandering around beautiful Rye.

January Highlights included a power cut for an entire evening which meant no television, an insane amount of candles, a head torch to work by!...and worst of all no kettle for tea, so we opted for Baileys instead. Well, it was Burns night, no dry January here thank you very much!

We also saw a couple of inches of snowfall in Harpenden which was very pretty.
The snow at Luton Hoo Hotel created a stunning winter wonderland wedding for bride Gemma.

Nars Audacious Mascara
http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk

A great shade of intense black mascara with a big brush to make the most of the smallest and fairest lashes aka my own!

MAC PREP + PRIME 24-Hour Extend Eye Base
http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk

This is a must for making eye makeup last the duration, if you wear eyeshadow this is the ideal base to apply first.

Lancome Sourcils Définis Ultra Precision Eyebrow Pencil
http://www.lancome.co.uk
I like the Lancome brow pencils as the pencil come with a short firm plastic brush at one end to ensure you do not apply too much colour.  The pencil itself is not too hard so it is easy to apply the right amount of product. Also available in a good variety of shades.

Tom Ford Lipstick in 01 Spanish Pink
http://www.tomford.com
This lipstick not only slides on beautifully it also has the most beautiful packaging and is quite simply the best lipstick I have ever used!
