Shoot for The Tomorrow Store

My new work is up on The Tomorrow Store.com for their new SS15 collection.

Makeup was kept sheeny on the skin, a bit smudgy around the eyes and a pop or orange/red on the lips but kept matte. Hair was wetted down with lots of salt spray. 

Full product breakdown coming soon!

Blog On MOSI with QVS Beauty!

I had a fab day on Saturday at the Bloggers conference at MOSI. QVS beauty contacted me to help them demo their makeup tools and show other bloggers how to get the best results. I had a whole range of tools to play with:

Now I must admit I would normally shy way from 'value' brands as I just wouldn't believe the quality was that great...so I was very pleasently surprised by the quality of these brushes and they are all made from natural materials :)

My personal favourites were the stubby blusher brush (which is best for buffing in foundation) and the eyeshadow blending/crease brush (which is in a three brush set). Each retails for about £6!!!!! Crazy.

I can't wait to use them in my freelance work. You can get yours from Amazon!

Liberty in Love shoot

It's not often I only do hair on a shoot but this week did just that for online wedding boutique Liberty In Love. 

I prepped the two models hair using Bumble and Bumble styling lotion before setting in large rollers. Each style was slightly different and kept quite boho and undone. I used lots of Bumble and Bumble Dry Spun spray to keep the hair looking a bit lived in. See images below..

Winter Sun Product Picks

If you're lucky enough to get away for a quick winter sun break, here are a few products I can't live without!

Elizabeth Arden SPF 50 sun block - it's great for the face and doesn't make me breakout, also gives a lovely glow without looking ghostly!

Mac Lady Danger Lipstick - easy to wear with minimal makeup and also looks great with a tan (fake of course)

Bumble & Bumble Rich Conditioner - this is great to use as a rescue hair mask too, comes in a handy mini size for airport checkin :)

Jo Malone handbag purfume - perfect for spritzing on the go!
