Problems with your bra? How about Bra-blems that we've got covered.

There are so many pretty bras out there, but are they really practical? Kinda? Not really? No. 
I was recently introduced to ThirdLove and thought it would be a great idea to show you their guide on bra fit issues along with solutions! ThirdLove specialises in great fitting bras. They also have some fun resources on their site like lingerie care and a bra size chart! In this post I will cover all the those brablems which I have experienced and ways to battle them, and no matter what, whenever there is a chance where we no longer have to wear a bra, we rip it off in a second and release a huge sigh of relief.

THE 4 PRODUCT BASE

6 January 2016



The base of your make up, the beginnings of your application to your routine but the question is, what product comes first? There is no right or wrong way to apply anything, surely there are the standard rules but you don't have to use every product for creating a great look. But if you are seeking a base that will last all day but is affordable and easy to follow then I think this post may help.

TOP 3 CONCEALERS YOU NEED TO TRY

3 January 2016


I have been experimenting more with concealers, and you may be thinking how can you really experiment with something that is full coverage and in a small tube with an applicator? By experimenting I mean with the shades and how you apply it. A long time ago when I first discovered concealer I simply just swept a half circle under my eye and rubbed it in with my ring finger but I chose a shade that was the same colour as my foundation. Yes, it did get rid of the dark circles but it didn't look too great as it did create a deeper depth making it kind of look sunken?

All three of the concealers above I have been applying in the same way as I have found that it works so well. Instead of just applying a half circle under the eye, you want to create a downwards triangle. How you blend it into your skin is entirely up to you, a brush or your finger but I use a damp beauty blender with a dabbing motion and that is my desired look.

As for the shade of concealer I earlier mentioned that I chose a shade that was the same colour as my foundation - kinda wrong. Always go a shade lighter or two, not only do you want to banish those dark circles but you want to lift that under eye and give it dimension.

The concealers that I have been loving are NYX HD Concealer in Yellow, Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer and finally MAC Pro Longwear Concealer which you need a tiny amount as it is full coverage and long wearing.

Have you tried these concealers? What are your thoughts?

Increasing Your Blog Traffic | Four Tips



Have you sat back and thought that it would be really great if you just woke up to thousdands of views on your blog? I do this all the time and I know numerous of bloggers out there strive for this and have achieved this through patience and social media.
  • Social Media - use every aspect of it. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. Readers love to see consistency and hard work and regular content, think about it, if they like the content you produce they want to come back to your blog regularly to see it as well as following you on social media sites so they can keep updated with your posts. Hashtags are your best friend also, on Instgram or Twitter try searching for #blogger or anything related and start following, liking or engaging with the other bloggers out there as it gives you a chance for other bloggers to view and follow your blog.
  • Giveaway - I haven't yet tried this but plan on doing so in the near future. An exmaple though, would be to host a small giveaway with some make up products, and promoting this on all of your social media, however those who wish to enter must be following you, or like your last 5 images and to also post that image on their Instagram or Twitter for others to see, once they've seen it they might wish to enter too and so on! It's an amazing way of getting traffic.
  • Pinterest - This is my favourite, a couple of months ago I have about 50 followers on Pinterest, I now have over 500 and thanks to Pinterest I have quite a fair bit of views due to it. Whenever I pin an image in the description I will note my blog, therefore anyone that goes to re-pin will see this and they have the option to click if they want to! Also take advantage of the many groups of Pinterest as it gives you a chance to engage with many bloggers.
  • Comment, comment, comment - Reading other people's blog and commenting really is a huge factor. I adore comments and love reading what people think of the products I have purchased or any recommendations.  Also just think what you really appreciate when people take the time to comment on your blog, read your content, like your images etc - it is a confidence booster in my opinion so it's so crucial!

I hope you find this helpful!
