How To Reduce Your Visible Pores

Leave a Comment
There's nothing more frustrating than the little annoyances in life- paper cuts, broken heels and pores. Tiny, little speckles of dirt and grossness just clogging up our skin- RUDE. Sometimes it doesn't matter how clean we keep our skin these little buggars just find a way to seek shelter from all cleansers. SO here are a few simple steps to really attack them bad boys and keep noses fresh and dandy. There's a few strange tips in here but just stick with it! Hope this helps.
1. Clean your skin, remove all makeup and dirt from the day so we start this battle with a clean canvas
2. The best way to lure pores from their hiding place is a good steam. Heat is perfect to open pores nice and wide so they have nowhere to hide when it comes to cleaning them out. So boil some water, pour into the sink and pop in one of these 'Toner tabs' from LUSH, it ensures that all water and steam are filled with antiseptics and tea tree water (whole buncha goodies). Lean over the sink, put a towel over your head and let the steam from the sink do its work.
3. Grab some Biore pore strips and put across your nose (looking like a little penguin) leave for around ten minutes then enjoy the agonising yet satisfying chore of ripping it off again (NOT FUN)
4. Here's for one of the weird little remedies, but trust me it works. Mix together lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda and then use a small tooth brush to brush the mixture into your pores. The acidity of the mix should dissolve dirty pores stubborn enough to avoid the first attempts.
5. ANOTHER strange little trick. We worked hard to open up our skin, and now we've cleaned it, it's important to close the door, so the pollution of everyday life doesn't muck it up again. The answer to this- ICE! While heat opens pores, coldness will shut them again and the best way to do this is rub some fresh out the freezer ice all over your nose or wherever else you've targeted. Finally use a toner to lock the doors we've closed and enjoy your brand new poreless skin! LAVELYYY

How To Make Posh Prosecco Fish Bowls

Leave a Comment
Christmas is over, the New Year's sequins have been hung away, perfect time to start a diet, stop drinking and get your life together... HA! I kid, don't you worry. As someone who's been cursed with a January Birthday, I know how dreary this month can become for everyone and more importantly how alcohol can help soothe the pain. (Let's leave the whole gym thing for February basically) Now, often 'posh' and 'fish bowl' isn't found in the same sentence, but fear not my little bubble lovers, this recipe is the perfect way to combine the fun and social giggle of a fish bowl cocktail with the classy taste of Prosecco. Hope you enjoy!
1. Grab a fish bowl (mine's literally a plastic steal from Poundland!) and fill with plenty of ice
2. Cut up a handful of strawberries and a lemon, place these along with a few mint leaves in the bowl, it's like summer in a plastic sphere of happiness.
3. ADD THE BOOZE! Fill up with your Prosecco of choice, notice my delicate double fisting technique here... classy.
4. Add some edible glitter or lustre dust to the potion and double, double toil and trouble that bad boy... (just...stir it) Add some giant straws, grab some pals and slurp away, like a team. #squadslup
(Or enjoy for one if you're drunk and friendless like me!)

How To Get Fab Winter Legs With Wilkinson Sword

Leave a Comment
There's no denying that we relax our grooming schedules come winter, where legs were once bronzed, smooth and radiant , often now, they're dry, scaly and abused. WELL, kiss your December legs goodbye! This post has 4 crucial steps to get you strutting round your Christmas parties like a Victoria Secret model rather than Chewbacca. PLUS Wilkinson Sword sent me a fabulous brand new razor (which I'll rave about shortly)  to help us along the way. Hope you enjoy!

1. Exfoliate! As soon as frost hits, our legs seem to form a protective layer of dry skin... like thanks, I may be a mermaid but let's leave the scales for another time! Speaking of mermaids, LUSH's RUB RUB RUB,  smells divine and is made of fresh sea salt, perfect to get you smooth and shiny... like a dolphin.
2. It may be cold but, no one needs an insulating layer of fuzz when you're wearing your finest sequins. So the answer to that it is the Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk. It's got 5 curve sensing blades and a pivoting head. So not only will it get every inch of your pins, it's got water-activated hydration serum, which stops skin from getting dry and cracking. It also has marine extracts and shea butter so you'll be hairless and smooooooooth AF. So get your hands on one for only £8.99 and 'Dare To Bare December'!  - http://www.wilkinsonsword.co.uk/
3. Now it's time to moisturize! If you're into fake tan, this is the point you'll want to whack some on, I, however am lazy and don't bother. So slap on a thick layer of your favourite body cream. I love the Soap and Glory- Sugar Crush, smells of Lime and keeps you shiny and soft all day long
4. No Christmas do is complete without some glittaaaaa so grab yourself a Shimmy Shimmy bar from LUSH, where you just rub some on the desired area and it makes you all SPARKLYYYYYY! Fabulous!

How To Make Festive Vodka Cocktails

Leave a Comment
This time of year, it feels like Bailey's and Prosecco is forced onto us. It's like the law that you HAVE TO wear those paper hats when eating Christmas dinner, despite them slipping over your eyes snd  leaving you searching for Pigs in blankets like a blind lady and ruining your bouncy blow dry, curtsey of brand new heated rollers! WELL NO MORE, I have created a genius way that you can joyfully  sip a vodka cocktail on the big day without causing controversy and shock. This recipe is easy and so festive that you'll be considered as Christmassy as the baby Jesus himself rather than referred to as the Grinch.

1. Get a cupful of fresh cranberries and place in a sealable bottle- just a disclaimer the fresh cranberries aren't sweet like the dried ones so NOT buff to eat by the handful
 2. Add the rind of either 1 lemon or orange, add peels of the skin with a potato peeler not zest by grater since this will leave 'bits' floating in your glass... lovely...
 3. Next up is cinnamon, nothing sweet this time of year is allowed into the household without cinnamon- law. Throw in 2 sticks, any more makes it a little overpowering. Chuck in a pinch of mixed spice just to finish off the festive feel
 4. THE FUN BIT! Pour in a half bottle of vodka (full small bottle) using a funnel, seal up and leave for at least a day but honestly the longer the better. If you find some spare time a few weeks prior, this easy little recipe is perfect to get you ahead of the game. When it comes to serving mix with either cranberry juice or lemonade and enjoy!
 And there you have it, who says you can't make Vodka classy and Christmas appropriate??

How To Get 70's Disco Glam For Your Christmas Parties

Leave a Comment
The Seventies is my favourite era, if you've ever read any of my other beauty posts or seen my Instagram then it's pretty clear I'm more into the natural, hippie, flower child vibe. However as it's Christmas I have truly pushed the boat out here, there's all sorts of mystical products like FALSE LASHES and BLACK EYESHADOW... oh yeah went wild at 2:30 in the afternoon in my room. If you've got any Christmas parties coming up this look will Sleigh (get it?...terrible... I apologise) So grab your platform heels and jumpsuits and sparkle the night away.

1. Run some mousse through your hair to ensure it has hold and volume. Then separate into 4 sections and plait each one (it looks ridiculous but just stick with it) and then spritz all over with some sea salt spray.
2. Literally drown your face in all the illuminators you can get, too sparkly does not exist for this look, it's Christmas after all. Then cover with all your usual foundations and concealers until your skin is glowy and fabulous. Contour to the Gods and highlight to the heavens before you move onto the eyes.
3. Fill in your brows and blend in some dark sparkly eyeshadow. If you wanna stop there, go for it but if you're feeling brave grab some pigment or glitter and dab over lids, before gluing some lashes and filling in the gaps with liquid liner.
4. Undo the plaits, drown in hairspray and you're good to go, ready to shimmer under the mistletoe !
