Evening Make-up ….

I recently attended a preview evening of an art exhibition in St Ives.  This is the make-up I wore on that evening. After my usual skin preparation I applied a recently purchased product from By Terry. The Cellularose Brightening Serum is a great product for brightening and luminising the skin prior to foundation.

February Glossybox – What’s in it?…

A great selection of products this month from Glossybox. CIATE NAIL POLISH I do love a Ciate nail polish and the colour I had in the box is Racing Queen, which is a gorgeous dark green.  I think it is pretty random what colour you get as there are various colours being sent out. STEVE…
