One of this month’s advertisers, Miss L J Beauty, is here to talk beauty blogging! Enjoy…

What inspired you to start your Blog?: I have always loved reading blogs. To be honest I never thought I’d get any followers I just wanted somewhere to share my passion for all thing beauty.

Why did you chose Beauty as a topic?: Beauty is my passion and in my day job I’m not able to wear much make up and I love it so it’s nice to be able to chat about my passion. I share my make up looks on my blog.

What are your top tips on starting a Blog?: Just do it! I am a new blogger and I am learning everyday. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, the beauty blogger world is full of amazing and helpful people.

What are your blogging targets for this year?: To be honest I don’t have goal and it was a huge surprise when I hit 20 followers let alone 100, so I would love to reach 250 BlogLovin’ followers by the end of this year!

Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: Ooo I love so many… Kirsty from Yellow Brick Blog, Bethany Worrall, Tattooed Tea Lady and The Sunday Girl! Gosh I could go on for ever!

What trend are you looking forward to rocking this A/W?: Tartan tartan tartan being a highland lass I love me some tartan!

What are your favourite make-up brands, high end and low end?: Ooo I have to say Superdrug because of MUA, and for high-end, MAC. It’s all about MAC!

What’s your personal style and what do you to work it?: My style changes so often I love experimenting but if I’m honest with my hour glass shape, I am restricted to more flattering pieces. You can’t get better than a skater dress!

This is one of those posts, which many of you will think, ‘Oh, I know what to take’, or think, she’s 12, how does she know? Well, I know because I live around older people, and I read things, and I just have common sense right? How else do you think I do my blog??! (Well, you could say I was just generally clever and a genius, but that would not be true!) Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick £5.00 (Boots), Models Own Compact Mirror £6.50 (Boots), Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £3.69 (Boots), Collection 2000 Fix Me Up £5.99 (Superdrug), Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream £1.49 (Superdrug) & Barry M Concealer Brush £2.99 (Superdrug).

1: These lipsticks are meant to have the most gorgeous finish and are supposed to last a very long time, so even if you have a favourite, get a long lasting one! And take it with you to touch up! 2: Having a sleek and small mirror in your make-up bag is key, because even if the bathroom where you work has one, sometimes you just need to look that little bit closer! 3: Again, this concealer is supposed to be amazing! Loads of people have been raving about it, and perhaps you should try it out! 4: Fixing Sprays are key, because they can be used through out the day, so if you’re touching up your make-up, it will stay put, and if you feel your make-up moving, stop it in it’s tracks! 5: Always bring a small moisturiser with you, sometimes you hands will need a little bit of love! Especially in these harsh conditions, make sure you always have something like this with you! 6: For hygiene and easy usage, bring a small brush. You don’t want your make-up everywhere, and you don’t want dirty fingers on your face, so bring a nice and compact concealer/blending brush along, if you know you’re going to need to touch up!

Please tell me if you need any outfit inspiration for work, just leave a comment or tweet me.

 

Bonjour again! I had a request to a post on the S/S 13 Hair Trends as some inspiration, also some of you maybe thinking of having a nice new cut for the start of a fresh year. I have also added some products on how to create the below looks… (Pictures from Pinterest)

Textured Waves are a big thing. See below for more info, on how to create this look…

Big Quiffs are also really hot! Back comb and add lots of spray for added height!

High Top Buns are one of my favourite looks! See below on how to create the look…

Side Swept Bangs are brilliant! If you have a fringe, make sure you sweep it across, for a clean and finished look!

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray £7.19 (Toni & Guy), Large Doughnut Ring £5.09 Each (Superdrug), Babyliss Root Boost 2123U £29.99 (Superdrug), Elnett Hairspray Dry or Damaged Hair £6.39 (Superdrug) & Beauty Works Instant Side Swoop Fringe £15.99 (Paul’s Hair World).

First of all, the Toni & Guy Texture Spray, is apparently amazing. It has had loads of hype and talk about it, and for £7.19 I don’t see why you shouldn’t try it out! Next, for creating a big bun, use a doughnut, no not a sweet sugary cake, but a nice squidgy round thing that makes your hair look perfect! Then to hold that in place, add a load of hair spray! Then, for those of us who don’t have a fringe, or are to scared to try one out, get a clip in one!

Recently I have been watching load of make-up tutorials and videos on YouTube, and finding loads of cool ones. So, I have put together a list of Foundations, which I found were good (in the videos), and 1 or 2 which have great reviews.
