A (Busy) Week in Beauty Products...

OK guys… so I haven’t put up a new blog post for almost 10 days **slaps self on wrist** but there is a good reason, I promise!

I’ve actually been moving house this week (well, technically we moved over the weekend, but it’s taken a whole week to get everything straightened out enough for normal programming to commence!) Anyways… I hope you’ll all forgive me?!

I’m back today to share a few beauty bits that I’ve been loving this week, during the stressful and grueling task of moving house, these products have really helped me through…

First of all and most essential, is a decent hand cream. I’ve never ‘properly’ moved house before (in-between uni and home etc doesn’t really count, as you’re not moving the whole house!) and I didn’t realise quite how badly all the dust and handling cardboard boxes dries your hands out!

Today I thought I would share some of my favourite cream beauty products and my favourite ways to apply them. I adore cream products, regardless of season and shade so today I've done my whole makeup look using some of my favourite cream beauty bits and my favourite brushes.

Synthetic brushes are much better for applying cream products than natural bristles, as they don't absorb the product into the hair surface as much. They also tend to be more hygienic as each synthetic hair shaft is smooth, whereas natural hair shafts are uneven and can collect product (and grow bacteria!) While some synthetic brushes can be stiff and hard to work with, I love the Crown brush Syntho range because the brushes are just so soft and flexible, you get the best of both worlds.

So what's on my face today?

Fishwife

I bought this gorgeous butter London polish while I was in New York last month. It's called 'Fishwife'. Not the most attractive name, but the shade is a real grower.

It's holographic, so naturally I was instantly attracted to it anyway, but the shade of pale seafoam green is really unusual anyway, and mixed with a hint of holo, I think it makes it a really interesting colour, and perfect for spring, but not your a-typical mint green...
