moving


 

hey everyone
 its not my usual type of posts today but I wanted to talk about my big move from London to Shropshire it was such a massive change me for me staring in a new place only knowing one person (my boyfriend ) I wanted to write this post for the people out there who also like me have made a massive change for either themselves or the one they love.
 
after being with matt for over a year doing the whole long distance thing we decided it was time to live together seeing as when I wasn't working I was pretty much living here anyway, so after our first holiday to Ibiza together we took the step and moved in.

when I moved down here at first (for 5 months) it was really hard I couldn't get a job anywhere, I didn't know anyone, have any friends and was so far away from my family it was killing me inside. you see I'm the type of person who, as soon as I left school I was working a week later and spent so much time with my brother and family.
 
as I was really struggling to find a job I decided it maybe the best idea if I signed up to the apprenticeship program with a collage as I thought it maybe the best idea for me as I wasn't having the best of luck with finding a job at all and, I'm so happy I signed up to the program as I have such a amazing job that I am so good at, my job title is apprentice pharmacy dispenser.
 
after sadly devolving social anxiety from being in a house for 5 months with no interaction from another people apart from matt and his family I was terrified of going to interviews for a job but when this pharmacy job came up I forced myself to stand out and be the best I could to get this job to help me get out of this stupid funk I was in I needed to get my life together and start making a career for myself for the future, this apprenticeship opens up a incredible amount of opportunity's for me as level 2 gives me a health care qualification in which I then either go on and do level three and become a pharmacy technician or I can continue on with something different, seeing as I've only ever done hairdressing I thought it would be incredibly hard as it takes a lot of patients and concentration but it turns out I'm REALLY good at it.
 
now I've been working in this job for almost three months I feel a lot my settled unlike before I was on edge and scared to leave the house. But now I'm happy and loving my life right now I have a great boyfriend who looks after me and treats me great, and loving family who have supported me within my move, and a great little team that I work with at work who I am really close with and who understands I am crazy and moody and lovable.
 
I've made a few friends while I've been up here who are absolutely amazing and friendly it may not be as many as I had back home in London but when you get older you don't need a lot of friends you just need those few friends who you connected with and who invite you into there little circles.
 
 
for anyone intrested in a apprenticeship anywhere within the uk here is the link:
 
for anyone interested in Shropshire or the midlands
head to Birmingham metropolitan collage or a local collage that offers apprenticeships

sculpt and contour review

make up revolution contour, highlight and blush

 

recently I discovered makeup revolution, its a newish brand out and incredible prices as low as £1.00, I've read and heard amazing things about this particular brand of makeup such as it being amazing pricing, durability and most of all INCREDIBLE dupes for mac and sleek makeup.
 
 
now I've always had that goodness and the annoyingness of having a December birthday, now everyone can obviously see why having a December birthday would be frustrating. I have to wait a whole year for my birthday and Christmas, but, its also amazing because its that time of year where all the makeup and beauty gift boxes come out so I have a great selection of make up every year.
and this birthday (last year)I was lucky enough to get my hand on one of the makeup revolution Christmas gift boxes, I absolutely loved it came with such amazing items such as blusher, eyeliner, bronzer, nail vanish and lip glosses, but this post is all about the sculpt and contour kit.
 
 
The sculpt and contour kit comes with three different powders, a bronzer (brown), blusher(pinkish) and a highlighter (white).
on the make up revolution web page there description is written as follows:
 
"Achieve SCULPTED & CONTOURED Professional Excellence
Our amazing kit provides everything you need for a professional sculpted and contoured finish. This Multi-tasking Handbag Favourite does everything, to be used Together to shape, or individually to freshen up and brighten throughout the day.
Bronze and Blush Powders to achieve a precise contour, and new shades of our amazing HIGHLIGHTERS to finish by BRIGHTENING and illuminating"

 
the above text is written on the makeup revolution website and I can 100% agree with everything they say. at first the contour kit was a bit of a odd colour for my skin type but then I realised just how amazingly pigmented the whole makeup rev collection was, it made me realise that I was adding far to much bronzer to my brush and needed to apply it more delicate, the bronzer is rather brown but it looks amazing on and beautiful light once applied correctly.
 
you apply this bronzer is a down ward angel starting from the top of your checks following down the just underneath the check bone in the hollows of your checks.
 
the highlighter appears to be really white it you apply to much to your brush but theres a technique to applying this istead of brushing like strokes you brush the brush along really fast across the highlighter to gain some on the brush but not loads to make the skin a different colour, you apply this item to the hollows of your cheeks and to 0the none bronzed sections to give that highlighted contoured effect.
 
the blusher in my palette comes in a beige, pink which matches perfectly to my skin and doesn't make me looked washed out due to my irritable skin tone of pale and beige, its very tricky to match them u, but I've found a great item which works with the tone of the skin.

The 30 second instant tan

Heyyy everyone,
 
I've never been a girl to enjoy fake tan or have the urge to stay tanned all year round, but recently ive discovered that i look incredibly healthy with lovely glowing tan.
Now as I've only just really came into the tanning sensation i don't really know much about tan or about the products out there which are great to use.
 
(£1.00 tan from bridgnorth)
 
I work in a chemist (pharmacy, drugstore) in bridgnorth and we sell alot of products ranging from over the counter medication, shampoo, diet and weight loss and fake tan.

We sell two ranges of fake tan, exfoliating tan and 30 second instant tan, when i found out about this tan i had to instantly just buy it just to give it ago and see how the tan worked.  but the most amazing thing about this tan is that its £1.00.
 
This tan say to make sure you skin is clean, dry and exfoliated extremely well.
 

When i first applies this foam tan i thought well its not really doing anything to my skin what a joke but,  this tan takes 30 seconds to apply and is streak free, but it takes  20 mins to a hour to devolope on the skin, but when it does devolope it looks like such a natural tan and looks absolutely beautiful.
The bottle states thats you can apply gradually to gain a dark tan, i applied 3 applications to get a darker skin tone as I've started to recently use tan i like to look like i actually have a tan instead of looking pale like i usually do.
 
When i saw the expose tan i aromatically was skeletal as its a £1 you think hmmm somthing isn't right it seems to good to be true, but i was so wrong i haven't found a fault with this product, it hasn't left me with dry skin or given me a rash or allergic reaction, but not everyones skin is the same so obviously if you are going to be using this item always preform a skin test in a area that doesn't receive much sun light.
 
Before tan.
 
After tan.
