Currently Loving #03.
01. Cream blushers and my Sigma flat top Kabuki brush: You can see the results in this post here. I’ve never really used cream blushers before because I didn’t have the right brush (or so I thought) turns out this brush is amazing for applying creamy blushers! I think it looks so so natural and such a gorgeous flush. I will now be stocking up on cream blushers. Typical!
02. Skincare. This week has been incredible & I can’t believe it’s almost over. For those of you who didn’t know, I’m on my skincare consultant training and I’m having such a great time. For someone who spent years at uni studying for a degree in Forensics, it’s really such a wonderful feeling to finally find your place in the world. I’ve always had a massive love for skincare and science, as well as helping people feel better about themselves so I’m feeling really happy & like I belong!
Just a quick post this week as obviously I’ve not been at home but I have a ton of new skincare to post about so I’m sure you will be hearing from me a lot in the next few weeks!

Cream blushers are lovely, and that color is perfect for spring! Your job sounds really nice, I would love to be a skin care consultant, seriously.

I’d never even thought to use my Sigma for my cream blushers! I’ve just been slapping it on with my fingers and wondering why I have big pink clown cheeks. Yours looks gorgeous, so I’ll definitely be giving this a go!

A brush! I’ve never tried cream blusher because I have not worked out how to apply it evenly (silly me!)

Thats so great you are doing something you love. It can take most of us years to figure it out, so you are really lucky

I’m obsessed with cream blushers too! They are so on trend, the MAC ones are amazing.
I really want a flat top brush, Sigma sent me a complete set but it didn’t have that one in it, which is one I really wanted! May have to invest in one!

Your comments on how you feel like you belong and found your place career wise is really inspiring. I’m so nervous and basically stuck whenever the thought of university ending as I’m still unsure of what route I want to take. Hopefully it’ll fall into place and worrying/stressing over the matter won’t help in the long run! Glad you’re having a fantastic time and learning new things.
I never wear cream blusher either however it’s due to the fact I wear miniral make-up and find power blush to work better with power foundation. Although I rarly touch my blusher as I’m told I have a kind of natural cheek colouring so I feel if I wear too much blusher I look flushed ha!

Oooh, I really want that brush
What do you use for the background of your photos? I want to get something so mine aren’t so boring

I am glad you found your place, have the best of luck.

That’s a great tip about the kabuki brush. I have shyed away from cream blushes for lack of knowledge of how to apply them. They look fab on your pics, so I’m gonna have to try some asap.
Really looking forward to your skincare insight!!!

oh my lord woman, look at all those products! that’s insane. I’m jealous of your job!
it’s so good that you’re doing something that you enjoy though.
Kind of wish I’d ordered a glossybox too, if only for the full size illuminator.
Basically – i am mad jealous of all this! xo

That’s my favourite brush ever! I only have one cream blush but can’t wait to try out the Topshop ones :}
