7 sins of beauty

                              This beauty tag has been floating around so I thought I would join in.


                                                                     1) Greed- The most expensive products.

 I bought this foundation  after having my make up applied at the benefit stand. This foundation when applied correctly looks amazing and makes my skin feel amazing However I think I was matched when I had a tan. This foundation costs £26.50.

This palette is gorgeous. The shadows are soft and wear well on the lid. It was not a cheap product but worth the £14.99 price tag.

Clarins Lip oil £18. This oil rescues my lift this is my most recent purchase and I have fallen in love with it.

 

2) Wrath - Love hate relationship

 

Contour. Some days I can sculpt my face exactly how I want it, other days this product does not want to play ball and blending and sculpting just doesn't seem worth it.

 

3)Sloth - neglected products.

I always skip priming this is one step in my routine I have never taken to. I don't think I have found the right product for my skin type.

 

4) Pride.

When my base is perfect my brows are done and my lashes are long.

 

5)Gluttony.

I have too many lipsticks, way too many. The other thing is that they are all similar shades. I just can't stop buying them though. 

 

 

6) Lust

Haven't we all been lusting after Charlotte Tilbury?

There are two products I would love to receive or buy. One being Bond Girl lipstick the other being light wonder foundation. I know I have heard so much rave reviews of the magic foundation but it will not suit my skin type.

 

 

7) Envy.

Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder. Watching tutorials with this product makes me want it even more.

 

 

That was my seven sins of beauty.

Why don't you share yours in the comments ?

Thanks for reading until next time xoxo

 

Failed already ... New year resolutions

          This blog is late. New years resolution failed (again)  although I have been busy, jotting down lots of ideas and taking photos for blogs to come. Also I think I may start block writing blogs and scheduling there uploads. This may help with my blog as well. It will mean constant upload on regular days, rather than sporadically placed uploads.

        Other updates on my new year resolutions. I have been eating a bit better. Except a few takeaways at the weekends oops. Dominoes should definitely stop sending me offers. I have signed up for the gym and classes are definitely needed. My fitness is worse than I thought. Healthy eating though has been fun. Experimenting with different flavours and putting my own spin on recipes. I have loved looking at Get the Glow by Madeleine Shaw, as it is more about lifestyle rather than eating super strict diet.

        Spanish well this is my biggest fail so far. My progression is not going well. I will however be downloading lessons on to my phone and listen and learn when I'm free. this will most likely be on the way to work or just before bed or in the bath.

     Things I have been doing are last years resolutions. I have been working on learning my guitar. I think Rich will be happy as he bought me it last year and was not happy with the dusty guitar he saw on boxing day. English I have been brushing up on the basics. Grammar and punctuation are definitely not my strong point. Writing this blog though means trying harder at sentence structure and quality of the writing I publish.

                                           That's all for now I think.

                                           Thanks for taking your time to read this.
                                            Until next time  xoxo

Marples

      So last week to celebrate my friends birthday we decided to go for breakfast. For a few months I have been reccomended Marples and have never been so I took the chance that day. Unfortunately it was a bit of a cloudy and dreary day. Although the resteraunt was warm and inviting.

 We decided to sit in the booth down stairs. The atmosphere was cosy with music playing and the view of the beach even though it was raining.

We quickly both decided that we were going to order the full english which comes with a juice or tea. Although I ordered both. The drinks arrived promptly. The honey tea was delicous.

                          Full english with an extra egg.

These pictures are making me hungry.

The full breakfast came with two slices of toast which you could choose between white or brown.

Rashers of bacon, a sausage, hash brown, mushrooms,beans, grilled tomato and an egg even though we both added another egg. 

We slowly tucked into our lovely breakfast catching up and talking through the plans of the day. Although we didn't finish the breakfast it tasted so good and was great value for money.

During the summer Marples extends their seating outdoor. This would be lovely to sit out and enjoy the sunshine with breakfast or lunch. Now I have tried breakfast at Marples I know I will be back to have it again but also to try their evening meals. 

Where is your favourite place for breakfast?

What is your favourite breakfast?

Thanks for reading my blog post.

See you again next week.

Until then xox
