nubo white diamond ice glow mask

NuBo White Diamond Ice-glow mask

I was kindly sent some samples from NuBo and was impressed with what I discovered about the brand (being described as "Pro-beauty high-tech skincare).
This particular product has had rave reviews by beauty editors, so I was intrigued to say the least.
The packaging is very expensive looking with the diamond encrusted lid, however, for £100 (!) this does need to look the business I feel!
I have very dry skin so using something moisturizing is a must.  The cream looked and felt creamy and smelt pleasant, but not too perfumed. First I steamed my face to ensure my pores were open.  I applied a thin layer over my face, but thicker on my neck, (avoiding my eye area - this would become apparent why...!)I left it on for 10 minutes and almost immediately it felt very cold with a numbing sensation, which was wierd but not unpleasant.  I had previously heard about the benefits of using this mask - "Release frown lines/wrinkles, plump the skin, refresh and revitalise, promote a glowing complexion and ease signs of tiredness."  After 10 minutes I rinsed it off with warm water.  The results were not amazing...however, I did feel pampered! and my skin was left soft, a little more plumped and radiant.  The cooling sensations did last for a while after too.  To be honest, I do feel £100 is very steep for a face mask, however, you do get a generous amount in the pot and used regularly, maybe once a week, you would begin to see the effects more.  I will continue to use it so watch this space! thanks for reading x

L'occitane immortelle precious night cream

L'occitane

L'Occitane Immortelle Precious cream - (£42 for 50 ml.)

I love using anything by this brand, although I think this is their star product.  My skin looks its best after using this cream, it is wonderfully hydrating and smells gorgeous too.  My skin is more radiant and youthful looking after using this, any fines lines are less apparent without a doubt so I will definately keep using this! 5/5

Sienna X cream to powder bronzer with illuminator

Sienna X

This duo offers a matte bronzer and highlighter, so great to add a bit of warmth to the skin and is not too orange so looks natural, it has a lovely consistency and is easily blended into the skin, I found working with it best with my fingers applied on the forehead, cheekbones, nose penis enlargement without pills and chin.  You then apply the illumninator on the high points of the face, however,  I found the highlighter not very light reflective and a bit dry.  This is £25 from www.sienna-x.co.uk This is lovely if you want to create a contoured look, but only using the cream to powder bronzer.  I give this product 3/5 as I did not like the smell of the product.

Collin Resultime.

I kindly got sent a mini-facial kit from Collin Resultime, and so set to work using it recently.

Jessica Biel is a big fan of this Parisian skincare brand who specialise in anti-ageing products.

I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the packaging too.  I particularly liked the deep cleansing scrub, eye cream and both of the moisturisers - my skin was left smoother and more hydrated...plus I loved pampering myself!  I would definatley recommend these products to all of my clients, particularly if they would like to get their skin to look its best, ready for a special occasion.

Their new website is set to launch 14th of December 2012, so have a look at the website -http://www.collinresultime.co.uk/ and try out these great products, your skin will definatley thank you for it.

Cat eye make-up

Cat eye make-up look.

First I tweezed Jessicas' brows and then applied a cream eyeshadow all over the eye area in Shore.  I then applied a mixture of Burnt sugar and Sable eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes, blending really well.  I also created a higher socket line by applying mahogany eyeshadow above the eye socket crease.  I then defined the brows slightly by filling in with eyeshadow.  Next I used an eyeliner brush by Shu Uemura, which was perfect for this job, as it helped me create that lovely, thin line along the lash-line and flick it out at the edge, also then running it underneath the eye all the way and in the waterline.  I then applied some false eyelashes and applied some Mac mascara to finish the eye make-up.  I balanced the make-up by using a nude lip-colour and blotting, also applying a peachy-blush by Bobbi Brown, (Apricot.)  It isn't a look everyone can wear, but it certainly is effective for those who can carry it off!

Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist studio.

Make-up studio in Lincolnshire.

Aswell as providing a mobile make-up artist service, I am based at my own make-up studio in Lincolnshire.  This is where I do my make-up lessons/make-up trials.  My make-up kit consists of only the best products and tools- Bobbi Brown, MAC, Illamasqua, Make-up Forever, Stila, Cover FX, Becca, Real Techniques, Louise Young, Shu Uemura, etc, etc!!

If you require false eyelashes, I prefer to use the full-strip type - Mac, Shu Uemura, Ardell and Eylure.  However, I do have individual false lashes too by Liz Martin.
With my experience, knowledge and products I can create any look that is required.
