Convenient Compact Beauty

As a natural beauty addict, I'm always on the lookout for new products which not only work well but also make life a little easier.

'Beautification' can be quite time consuming and if you're a busy mum with very little 'me' time, then this product is a quick fix to gorgeous skin.

As you may know by now. I am a huge fan of loose mineral powders but I agree that they can sometimes be quite messy and not always easy to travel with.

I am just about to go on my hols and decided to pursue my hunt for a non clogging, non chalky compact that covers well but without looking heavy or caked on.

I found the perfect powder make up compact in my local supermarket!

Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One powder foundation with an added bonus of SPF 25.

I love the tones of the shades and found that Honey was the perfect shade for a medium toned skin.

For an even better finish, apply it over your favourite beauty base or balm.

Before & After Make Up

We all love a good before and after pic.

Especially of women who have been completely transformed with make up.

We look at models in magazines and see stunning beauty, all the while wondering just what really lies beneath!

Well, here's a treat for you all from a lovely young model I worked with recently on a shoot.

 Andrea shared with me, her before make up face and the after make up shot.

Yes, she's naturally young and beautiful but still, here's what make up can do.
