The sun is FINALLY here. BRITISH SUMMERTIME HAS BEGUN. What a shame I am still pasty and pale faced as ever. Not for long though, thanks to the Urban Decay summer collection. A wonderful bundle of goodies landed through my letterbox and in 15 minutes my skin has gone from pale and hungover to bronzed and glowing.
Bronzed and golden has had a bit of a bad rap in the past from the fake-tan, orange oompa-lompa brigade but you'll be pleased to know that these gave me a natural-looking glow in no time at all. I've officially got my summer makeup sorted. Read on and find out which products are transforming my face right now.

Summer Makeup Sorted With Urban Decay Cosmetics
It is waaaarm outside! Isn't this weather great? A bit of sunshine makes me feel so happy. It's crazy how weather can affect your mood so much, I wonder why?
I have a theory that sunshine makes you happy because, hear me out here, with sunshine comes glorious things like ice cream, al fresco dining and the chance to fiiiinally wear that beautiful sundress you bought but never had the opportunity to wear... Sounds legit right?
Summer brings out the best feeling but of course, with the good comes the bad. The cruel balance of Cest La Vie means that photo perfect lipstick disappears around iced frappe straws and foundation stains end up on your new white dress - basically, hot weather and heavy makeup do nahhht get along.
So how do I get perfect but natural skin, without slapping on foundation?
What you need in hot weather is light coverage, with a barely there finish - oh and shiz loads of sun protection!!
The answer is simple, your summer salvation lies is the humble BB & CC cream. But which one?!

How To Get Natural Summer Skin: My fave BB & CC Creams
Pinch, punch, first day of the month!! (Kick and a flick for being so quick!!) Do you remember doing this at school? I swear there were loads of "clever responses" like that, and they were all very violent thinking about it..
Anyway - can you believe it's March already?! March is when the cobwebs of the New Year have finally blown away. I have now fully recovered from the holiday season, my new healthy living routine is no longer a new year whim and officially a real thing and the time for my 'this-year-I'm-going-to's is pretty much now or never! 2014 is well and truly here.
But what has been brightening my grey days and equally greyer skin since January 1st? This fab CC cream from Seventeen! HIYA.
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is "What's your favourite BB cream" to use? It used to be the Garnier Matte Miracle Skin for Combination/Oily - but then I started using this Seventeen CC Cream and I was completely blown over!!
Let's start from the beginning
I'll be honest, BB creams are neither here nor there for me - not quite as much coverage as a foundation, BB creams are effectively a tinted moisturiser with an SPF. I'm usually an all-or-nothing kinda gal. I wear BB creams on lazy sunday mornings, after a rare trip to the gym and on (even rarer) good skin days.
What's the difference between BB and CC?

Beauty 2013: A Face Value Beauty Blog Summary
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!
So it's Christmas morning and you want to race downstairs to crack open the Bucks Fizz, start ripping open presents and hug everyone/everything.
But wait. If it's anything like my household, there's going to be cameras and Instagramming and all sorts of need-to-capture-this-moment-forever stuff. And with any sort of photo, your face needs to be prepared!
But you haven't got all morning have you? It's CHRISTMAS after all. But you need to save some face before you head into the fray - what should you do?

But you haven't got all morning have you? It's CHRISTMAS after all. But you need to save some face before you head into the fray - what should you do?
The answer is simple - it's all about the basics. For that dahling-I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-like-this look you need these three things:
1) Definition of your eyes and brows
2) Clear skin
3) Glowing cheeks
And you can do this in ten minutes! How? Here's the detail...

Christmas Morning FOTD - My "I just woke up like this" makeup look
So if you've read my first ever post, you'll know that I originally started blogging so that I could share my makeup and money and rambles with the masses.
I'm not gonna lie though, there are times when being a blogger has it's perks. One such perk was the honour of attending the Boots 'Give It A Go' event held in London this week...
So how did Give It A Go...go?
