Fave Fives Requests

Here's one I made earlier. 

Lovely People!

Just checking in after facial day to say 'thank you' for the great response to the Fave Fives. I'm not filming again until next week at the earliest because I want to answer as many of your comments first. 

In the meantime, I have a long list of ideas/requests for future videos in the same theme, and wanted to give you the opportunity to put your requests in while I'm stacking them up.

Feel free to comment below - I'm looking forward to filming them - and that hasn't happened for the longest time, so thank you for sticking with me - and the inspiration.

*Thanks everyone - have hundreds now so closing comments and taking them down behind the scenes. Stay posted! ;)

VLOG 21

Hi Everyone. Prepare yourself for some hideousness this week. There's bare-faced-spots galore, rambling, and coleslaw on toast. Why? Because it's delicious that's why.

One day, I'll get it together and remember to take really good thumbnail pictures and make it all look really lovely. That day is not today.

In the meantime, here's a picture of the best press gift I received last week:

See you next week - if you can bear it. :)

VLOG WEEK 19 - L.A. Part 2

Part 2 includes a little shopping, some rushed packing and Gen Beauty - including the mini facial I did for Ipsy's Periscope while I was there.

Hope you enjoy! :)



Pixi very kindly paid for my flight and hotel to facilitate my appearance at their blogger event and Gen Beauty but there was no requirement or obligation at all to review or mention Pixi in any content or promotional way.

What's New? November

I know there's all these YouTube 'rules/guidelines' where you're supposed to post frequently/regularly etc but I am enjoying posting these videos up in bulk. And also - if you save up your empties/newness/favourites there's tons of them when it comes time to post! YAY!

Thursday is Empties and then the vlog at the weekend. See you soon!

Favourites - October(ish) 2015

I know I know it's been forever! Favourites first, then newness, then empties!

There is a massive list of everything featured in the video in the description box underneath the video. If you are watching through the blog, click 'Watch on YouTube' in the lower right corner.

Enjoy!

VLOG WEEK FOUR

I've neglected the blog this week. Apologies. Have a great Sunday and I'll see you here tomorrow. Promise. :)

Quick Smokey Eye with Hannah from Bobbi Brown

After Hannah and the team had finished filming the video last week, I told asked her to stick around and give me a full smokey eye - which happily, she did!

It's really quick, unlike our first video LOL.

Hope you enjoy!

This video is not sponsored. It's just an added extra I asked Hannah to do.

VLOG WEEK 2 - Meeting Joan Collins, Behind the scenes at QVC and my meltdown

Well THAT was busy. Events, behind the scenes at QVC, Emilia's birthday party and meeting JOAN COLLINS.

Also: me having a meltdown at the kids. That will probably be a regular occurrence on my vlogs, just an FYI.  Oh AND - my love of bleach and Dettol. Also regular.

New Video! What's New/What I'm currently LOVING!

Hello!!!! So as I had everything set up for after the Bobbi video, I thought I'd take advantage and film a video I'd been planning for a while - a mixture of current faves and what's new?. 

Hope you like. Product listing is in the description box under the video. :)

Weekly Vlog No.1!

Hi Everyone! Ok so I vlogged last week! While I don't have tons of time to film individual videos I thought it would be an idea to vlog my day to day at the moment - and then see how it goes. I also have a crappy memory so it's another way to keep a diary for me. :)

Let me know your thoughts. Unless they're horrible. In which case don't. :)

Empties June 2015

A week late but never mind! The full contents of the video are listed in the description box underneath the video. If you click on the 'watch on YouTube' in the bottom corner you'll find it underneath. :)

I'm not doing too badly using things up - one of my many missions this year! See you tomorrow!

The L.A. Diaries Part 2

So I finally got my act together and finished editing the LA vlog. You'll get to see everything from the Gen Beauty event to my puffy, swollen red allergic reaction face. Sorry!

My next round of Sam Bunting chats and a Sali Hughes Q&A are up next.

Second Cleansers/A.M. Cleansers

I do love a good cleanser. Maybe you've noticed? All details are in the description box below the video. When you press play on the video there is an option to 'watch on YouTube'. That's where you'll find the details. ;)

Significant Empties

So it's time for me to cut open tubes and scrape out the contents before hitting the recycling bin.
Next video is on Sunday - thanks for watching.

Also - stay tuned to the end for my endearing chat with my son (not).

Pregnancy Rambling Beauty Chat with Ruth

Well the intention was to chat all things pregnancy beauty, but then we kind of went off on a tangent. As we do.

Hope you enjoy! Please do leave any requests/questions in the comments - we plan to do it again before the baby arrives. :)
