When Was The Last Time You Cleaned Your Make Up Brushes?

An interesting question when you really ask yourself when the last time you washed your make up brushes. Its not really something we think about often and weeks turn into months and for some of us it could even be years.

As a make up artist, I get asked all the time about skin care. What products are best, how to figure out your own skin tone, the specific products for different skin types etc. In skin care there are no silly questions as, lets face it, googling it makes us even more confused than when we began. In my opinion as with most things, I say, keep it simple and use what works for you. I have recently come across the most gorgeous brand of skin care, Glow Recipe. They are vegan (with the exception of their Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask), Cruelty free skin care, no plastic micro beads, which I personally love, got to think of the poor sealife in our oceans!

Achieving that holiday (sorry not sorry, ha)! glow to the skin, combing your brows, applying some lipgloss can make such a difference and doesn’t have to break the bank and take a lot of time.

I am the queen of make up, Im usually one of those bitches who does a full body pump class with a full face of make up and I swear it doesn’t budge off my face, however in recent months I have found a more natural look and after 31 years can proudly announce Im embracing my freckles!

So if your my client you will 100% know I literally LOVE BedHead. Having used it since I entered the hairdressing world as a fresh faced 14 year old, the smell of these products swift me right back to when I spent my days shampooing, making coffees and sweeping floors, started from the bottom now we’re here.. right?! I have worked very hard over the years to build knowledge of the ever evolving products on the market but always retreat back to BedHead.. Here is my guide on my favourite TiGi BedHead products, I am affiliated with Amazon but regardless my opinions are from my own experience and recommendations. Enjoy!

Lets face it we have all been in a bit of a rut over the last year, need I say how hard it has been for everyone mentally, emotionally and financially but its probably been even worse for our hair. In a state of survival, home schooling and clinging on to our sanity we couldn’t be blamed for letting ourselves (and our hair) go just a tiny bit. However with a hopeful end in sight, the warmer weather coming and our freedom upon us its time to dust ourselves off and get real about how we want to look in 2021. Hair trends seem to have fallen by the waste side slightly and very little inspiration fashion wise. Im going to focus this blog on us as ladies (and some men), how we can make ourselves feel as good as possible and recommending hair products and tools that arn’t going to hurt your bank account.

For months now I’ve been researching the affects of sleeping in silk. It seems were always talking about beauty treatments, what products are going to give us amazing effortless hair and skin care products that are going to make our skin glow… We all know a healthy diet helps against break outs and drinking plenty of water can help with a glowing complexion and SPF is essential for youthful and healthy skin - but did you know the material of your pillowcase can change your whole beauty game. If you think how many hours are spent brushed up against our pillows, this is a lot, especially if the material is playing havoc with your hair and skin..

Here are 10 reasons to make the switch and invest in this beautiful material…

Hair loss or shedding can be very daunting.. clumps of hair in your hand or plughole can be the trigger to know that something may not be right, I feel as women we know when something with our bodies is off and we shouldn't ignore it.. there are two types of hair loss, genetic and reactive, Im going to explain the difference and how you can treat it.
