My Festival Look With Lipcote And Browcote

Getting that spot on festival look can be hard, as with me I find myself struggling to stop with the glitter and go so OTT I don't really have a look. The lovely Belinda at 'The Painted Lady' Invited myself and my gorge pal Jess to the salon, and get all festival ready with Lipcote.

I started my festival makeover by getting my first ever henna done (yep I'm not joking, my first ever henna experience). Henna can add a really nice touch to your festival get it. There's just something about it that looks cool and is a really pretty added detail to an outfit, and I'm now a huge fan. Your henna will last roughly a week depending on how much you wash your hands and use hand cream etc. If you're not an accessory kind of person, henna is perfect to style up your outfit.

My next stop was the glitter (and in my eyes, the best part of any festival look). People are so much more adventurous with how they used glitter, creating looks with glitter lips, on the face, body and hair! I wanted to let the stylist go with her artistic feels and do whatever she thought would look good. The only request I had was to have some of my hair down, and look an how V cute my look was!!

Excuse the fact that I kind of look drunk, but this is the best photo I have to show you the glitter and hair together. The braids are so wearable, and are great to add any day not just at a festival. Buy putting a load of copper glitter in the parting, it jazzes it up to fit in the festival spirit and went well with my eyeshadow. I loved the fact my face glitter was silver and added a bit of contrast between my face and hair, giving me a special sparkly look.

We were lucky enough to be gifted a Lipcopte and Browcote to take away with us and make sure from now on, our festival looks are locked down and not moving anywhere. Having been a Lipcote avid user for a few years I knew how good it was, but now theres the same but for brows I was seriously happy.

The salon The Painted Lady can be found in Shoreditch and offers a range of different services, and is super cute with the friendliest staff members is a cool and quirky part of town. And to top off the brilliant time I had, I walked away with such an awesome goodie bag which included Lipcote, Browcote, Jaide Ralph glitter and the Mi Bag itself.

Let me know if you've tried Lipcote or Browcote!

For The Love Of Cucumbers and Skincare

AD with Yes To Good morning and happy National Cucumber Day! I love cucumbers! There, I said it. I like to eat them, drink them in juices and smoothies, and even like them in my skincare routine. Over the last couple of months I've really struggled with my skin. Getting hard lumps under the skin, and rash like breakouts that were super persistent and refused to die down. I thought about whether or not I was using too many different products and clogging up my skin, or it was just down to stress or something. All I knew was that I had to give something a go and hope for it to work it's magic on my problem skin as it was getting me down. What a day to share my love of cucumbers and my love of the Yes To Cucumber range with you cuties. Make yourself a cheese (vegan cheese if you're like myself) and cucumber sandwich and take a read about a range you'll want try! It may shock you to see an entire range made with cucumbers, but it's actually a

*This post features an advertorial with P'URE Papaya Lips Hi, hey, how are ya? It's been a while I know, and I'm sorry. I needed some time to settle into freelance life (which, I'm loving btw), and just some time to get into the new swing of things you know. So anyway, that can be saved and chucked into a separate blog post (let me know if you fancy that). Over on Instagram I've been sharing the odd product here and there over the last few months regarding skincare, as my skin went super dry as soon as the seasons and weather changed. My skin was flaking it was that dry, and my lips were red raw and went without lipstick as I couldn't bare to put anything on them at all. Thankfully I ended up creating a nice little routine....more on that in a bit, and found some new must haves for hydrating and softening the skin and lips. Lets start from the bottom to the top ey? I like being awkward! And, before we get stuck in, these are all products

Cruelty Free Living Products And Where To Find Them

A super sunny good day to you beauties! Welcome to my first of many cruelty free living posts I've wanted to do for such a long time now, and I've finally planned them and can't wait to hopefully inspire some of you to make a simple change to support the unfair testing and use of animals. The most common thing I hear back from people is "it's going to be expensive" or "that's so much effort", well it's actually not and the only effort you need to put in is to just pick up a different bottle *holds head in hands. It's that simple. Over the last two years I've been gradually replacing items in my home with cruelty free alternatives to get to the point I'm at today. The majority of you guys like me, go to one store for the bulk of your weekly/monthly shop, however I've grown to enjoy searching for cruelty free products and options so am now a bit of a shop hopper. When I think of the places I like to hit up th
