Nail Detox

Last month I gave my nails a nail detox. Now you may be wondering what that means and thats what I am going to explain to you in this blog post. I think it's really important to care for your nails as much as you would for your face. This is why I decided to give my nails a detox, no nail polish for a month. This allowed my nails to breath and repair as they were quite damaged.
Now you may be wondering why you would need a detox for your nails.Well, because, if like me, you are a fan of having your nails done, either with gel, shellac, acrylic or just normal polish, then you will know that your nails can be damaged, and if we constantly redo our nails for an extended period of time then they have no time to breath and grown healthily. For one month no polish or any thing coating your nails, let them breath and you will see a difference in your nails. I recommend doing this at least 3 times a year to make sure your nails stay healthy.

I hope this has helped you out, and you have found out something new. Remember, your nails are just as important as your skin.

Simple Everyday Makeup - Makeup Menu

Today I thought I would share with you my everyday makeup. It's super quick and looks very natural, so lets get started.

Base

For base I use normally just concealer. The one I am currently using is the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, as it works as an all in one concealer. However if I do want a bit of coverage I use the Chanel Healthy Glow, it works as a tinted moisturiser perfectly. To set everything, I use the Soap and Glory one heck of a blot powder which sets everything perfectly. For blush I love the Chanel Blush in  Innocence, very natural and goes with any look.

Eyes

For primer I use the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin, to set everything in place. Then, I would, most days use the Dior Eye Reviver Palette and use the second and/or third shade. Then either use a liquid liner like the Dior one or I use a more subtle one like the Sephora One in Iced Mocha. Then I add a bit of mascara, the one I am currently loving is the Clinique High Impact Mascara 

Lips 

I normally stick to something very natural like the Sephora lip gloss in Rose Petal or the Clarins Lip Oil which give a nice gloss to the lips.

And that's it make up done super easy, I hope this helped you out.

Thanks for reading.

NYE Make Up Menu

I hope you all had a great Christmas. Today I am coming to you with a make up menu for NYE if you are going out to a party. It's a smokey more dramatic eye with a more nude lip. So, here we go.

I am going to start with the eyes. First prime your eyes with the Urban Decay Eden primer. Then add the Giorgio Armani Eye Tint in the shade 7 all over the lid. I recently got this and it's amazing as base for a smokey eye. A little goes a long way. On top you can add a dark taupe or brown. I think that the Dior Eye Reviver Palette and the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette have very good colours or if you want to go all out then the Naked Smokey is perfect. To add a bit more drama you can finish it off with some black in the crease. Then add a thin line of black liquid liner. I love the Tom Ford one. Top it all off with a little mascara and if you want some false lashes.

Next base. To start with whatever base you normally use I like the Bobbi Brown BB cream as a light base, but you can use whatever you are comfortable with. Then I use the Nars Radiant Concealer and the Mac Prep And Prime in the shade light boost. To add a bit of colour. Then to set everything I would recommend the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot, as it is a translucent powder. For blush I would go with something a bit more discreet nothing too bright, I like the Chanel blush in the Shade Innocent. For bronzer I would use my regular bronzer which is it Dior Nude Air Tan 

Lips this is a personal preference as to what colours you like if you want a more natural lip or you want to go all out with a red lip as well. I love the Sephora Lip glosses in Rose Petal and the Dior Lip polish for more natural colours. Or if you want to go for a red lip then I chose the Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Pirate or the Mac lipstick in Russian Red.

There you have it, your new years eve make up sorted. I hope you all had a great 2015 and have an even better 2016.

I will see you all in the New Year with more exiting posts. Still same time, Wednesdays at 5pm GMT
