The 90’s Makeup Trend
Its a new season and that means new makeup and times to change things up. Being a 90's girl myself I love that the 90's makeup trend is back and its so easy. The key to the look is the lip and the eyes. I kept my take on the look really simple with the focus on the lips using the Mac Paramount Satin Lipstick. I kept eyes simple with a wash of colour and tanned up my skin and added the glow I love.
The New Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet
Intoducing one of my new favs the Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet Blurring Smooth Effect Foundation SPF 15. Its the latest in their foundation offering and its gorgeous of course. The origional foundation was the Perfection Lumiere Velvet but its made a comback with a new name and finish. Am waiting to get my hands on my shade so sadly I can't show you what it looks like on me. I did get to test it out on one of my friends and its truly beautiful on. As it says on the bottle it blurs and smooths the complexion leaving skin looking flawless and radiant. Love it.

The Embellished Denim Jacket and Velvet Trends
I literally searched all of London last year for a cool denim jacket it was like finding a neddle in a hay stack. This year embelished denim jackets are in and they are really affordable. I try each week and post something on fashion because even though I love all things beauty I also am so in love with fashion. Being 42 means trends are repeating themselves and yes 20 years on velvet is back in a big way. So I thought lets write about the embellished denim jacket and velvet trend in one post. Purely because I have purchased both the coolest denim jacket and gorgeous velvet trousers.

The Lancome Big Monsieur Mascara
If you're looking for a volume mascara that will make your lashes go wow then the Lancome Big Monsieur Mascara is the one for you. It gives great volume to lashes that are in desperate need and totally open up your eyes. If its one thing that I never leave home without is mascara.

The Gorgeous Blue Drugstore Eyeliners

Blue eyeliner or anything blue for the eyes has always been a favourite of mine. And guess what the drugstore brands are catching on giving us some beautiful shades and textures. So here are a few favourite blue drugstore eyeliners that I wanted to share:
