Hi Everyone

As promised, we thought we would update our blog with some of our favourite Beauty Tips from our recent Facebook Competition, all supplied by our lovely fans !!!!

There were some really great entries – too many to publish ! But here are the best of our Pick……. have a read through as I’m sure we can all pick up a tip or two here!!!! We’ve started with the winning entry………

·                                 Gemma Turner

My best beauty tip would be to cleanse, tone and moisturise after a night out. With the party season upon us, we all use heavier makeup so our skin suffers! So it’s really important, that we look after our skin so we last the whole party season without unsightly breakouts!

·                                 Diane Graham

when going on holiday and have a limited weight you can take, take a jar of vaseline and use this as a moisturiser, make-up remover, body lotion, lip gloss, mascara and it shines leather shoes and bags

·                                 Shel Leeds

·                                 Lulu Make Up Artistry

My beauty tip is better than eyelash curlers warm a teaspoon on the palm of your hand, mascara lashes then apply the spoon to the lashes and push back

·                                 Stephanie Parfey

my favourite beauty tip is to always carry Vasaline with you. It is a brilliant multi use product. Not only for lips but it makes a great hair serum, and is brill for removing stubborn eye make up, aswell as using to hi light brow bones. xx

·                                 Cheryl Hadfield

My beauty tip for surviving the party season is to make sure you have lipgloss in your handbag, with Mistletoe about you don’t know when its going to come in handy!!

·                                 Julia Gray

mix a little highlighter into your foundation or facecream – it will instantly give you a more radiantand healthy look also be happy, smile and keep positive – real beauty comes from the inside

This summer for me has been all about feeling fresh faced, light and airy.
