No.7 Colour Matching

If there is one thing that's never easy, that's finding the right colour foundation. I haven't worn foundation on a daily basis now for over a year and I'm happy with not having to feel the need to wear it. But there are, on occasion times when I want to wear it, and with my wedding coming up this July I thought I'd best find a foundation that matched my skin tone.

So I headed to Boots to seek our their No.7 Colour match service.
I took a seat and after a brief discussion about what I was looking for (natural looking coverage) and how my skin acts over a day (starts out ok and becomes oiler as the day wears on) we settled on what type of foundation I would be best for me.

The No.7 Beautifully Matte Light Foundation £14.50

Using their special Match Made device the assistant worked out the perfect colour for me (Deeply Ivory). She then applied a primer & the foundation to my skin & using the information from the device, applied a corresponding concealer & powder & found the right tone blusher for me (Peach Velvet).

So simple! And you know what, everything matched perfectly!
I came away with the foundation & blusher & an eyelash primer. The whole experience was really nice & the assistant was so helpful. I was a bit nervous about asking for help but I'm so glad I did. Its something I would definitely recommend if your struggling to find the right colour plus its free with no obligation to buy!

Donating my hair..

Image
So if you read my previous post, you'll know I recently cut off 12 inches of my hair. With the hair that was cut off, I have chosen to donate it to the  LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST . A charity that provides  wigs free of charge to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland who have lost their hair through cancer treatment.  The charity works with specialist suppliers and hairdressers who offer wigs that can be tailored to the child's needs.  The Little Princess Trust is a children’s cancer charity and our mission is to supply real hair wigs to children suffering with cancer, for the duration of their treatment.  However, in addition we assist children with other conditions which also result in hair loss, the most common being alopecia.  Our commitment to these children is different.  Despite being set up to help children with cancer, the Trust is able to supply children that do not have a cancer diagnosis with a single wig.  Whilst we are unable to commit...

The Mooncup is a soft medical grade silicone menstrual cup that's safe and eco-friendly. The mooncup comes in 2 sizes A & B. Size A is designed for those over the age of 30 or any who has given birth naturally. Size B is designed for those under the age of 30 & not given birth naturally. I chose size A, most women will know what size will work best for them. I bought my Mooncup from Boots for £21.99. the little tab with need to be cut down to the correct size for your body How to use | Before you use the cup the first time you will need to boil it in water over the stove.
