Happy Friday Friends

Hello my darlings,

I hope this Friday morning finds you fit well and happy :-)

I am just finishing editing mondays video. I have also just uploaded my Glossybox video as well. I have so many videos to be edited and still have to finish my make up course too. So in between my nightshift and trying to fit in some sleep during the day I am not getting a lot done. I have reviews ready to be sorted so will have a couple of 5 minute win or bin it reviews sorted for you guys next week hopefully.

I am totally exhausted and fed up being so darn itchy with my morphine patches. They are driving me insane, my back is like a patchwork quilt so I am going to have to contact the doctor to see if theres anything they can do medication wise as my skin will not hold out to this much longer and I need to be keeping on top of my pain so that I can continue looking after my father in law.

I haven't talked much about my father in law and the whole situation that is going on right now. The reason for this is because I am not exactly emotionally stable enough to think about it, I am trying my best to keep strong and not fall apart. I spoke to a lady in Tesco yesterday where he used to work and she was asking about him, I held together well telling her how he was, but as I was walking towards the door I couldn't breathe I just started freaking out, it all just felt so heavy and I couldn't help but start crying. Anyway, I am trying to keep most of this private as my inlays are a private family and it wouldn't be fair on them to share their extremely private business with the world. I am sure you all understand, and I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming, as a family we really need them right now.

So anyway I am going to make myself another coffee and try to get some at least one module done today :-)

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will chat to you soon. xxxx

Monday Morning: Planning my week

Good Morning my lovelies,

I hope you all had a great weekend, and those of you lucky enough to be off for St Paddys day enjoy your extra day off.

I got to stay in my own bed last night, as Marie Curie were out with my Father in Law so that was good. I have been back round since 6:30am, have walked the dog and covered two modules of my Make up Course. Would you guys like a review of my Trendimi course when I finish?

So I am now taking a break from study to do some editing of a couple of beauty videos. Have a couple of make up first impressions and also some reviews to be done as well.

My new series of reviews are 5 minute win or bin it reviews of bargain make up brands. I am trying to find good quality bargain brands, I have tried a couple of different brands already some a win some a bin, hence where the name came from lol.

The brand I am currently trying out is MUA, which I have had some good and bad experiences with so far, but I am continuing to review different bits and pieces. Have you tried MUA? If so what did you think of it?

I have also got brands from Boots such as Seventeen which is their bargain brand geared clearly towards their teen shoppers, but some of the products are good. Also trying their Naturals range. I am going to try and check out some other brands from US like Elf and Wet n Wild etc. to see what else bargain beauty brands I can find out there. Do you have any suggestions?

Anyway my darlings, I best get on with some editing here while all is quiet.

Love to you all,

Realising I have been a bad Christian!!

Hey my lovelies.

I have been having a lot of heart to hearts with my self over how much I have let my faith slip away from me. With different excuses for not going to church.. Yes I want to find a new church but that means actually getting out and doing it not just talking about it. The worst thing about having been so sick for so long it allowed me to have an excuse for not going out and trying to find somewhere I could find myself again.

This past few weeks have been the hardest of my life and it has encouraged me to pull so much closer to God and I know that with out God in my life and my heart I cannot get through this time. I was out shopping on Friday and I decided to go in to my old favourite shop because there is so much there that can help in times like this. The first thing I did was go and pick out some new music, I bought a 3 cd collection of Praise and Worship music and as I type I am listening to one of my most favourite songs 'Coming Back to the Heart of Worship' which really could not be anymore fitting for right now.

I had forgotten how much comfort and love being close to God gives. I may have let myself slide but my love never went away, I always knew in the back of my head that I was not being who I truly am. So I have decided that I am going to do more with my blogs and vlogs to do with my faith. I have always been the type of person that wanted people to know I was a Christian just by me being me and seeing that I am still a normal person I just live for God. I let that slide and I am so annoyed I did, but we are not perfect humans and we all make mistakes it is how we decide to fix it that matters.

So from now on, I will spend time reading the Bible more, I will get back to my Bible studies that I so love, I will sing more and praise more. Most of all I will remember to pull on God for Strength and Hope.

I know many of you guys reading this may not understand why I posted it, but I guess I wanted to find a way to shout from the rooftops to my Lord and Saviour that I am coming home! I know where I belong and that is close to His throne!!

I will chat to you all soon.

Love you all, God Bless. xxx

Clinique Skincare and Make Up

Hello my darlings. 

Well I did a little retail therapy yesterday. I have been chomping at the bit to try out Clinique products, but they are generally so expensive that I kept putting it off. However I decided to have a look at their products yesterday, because lets face it I turn 30 in a couple of weeks and I have to look after my skin at some point, so I have decided now is the time to start using a better class of products for my skincare. 

So as I say off I pottered to the Clinique counter, where the women are scary in their white coats and orange make up. It is a little off putting, but I thought ho hum I will try and hide my amusement at their clown costume. 

So I saw they had 3 step kits for £20 so I stopped to have a closer look and find out what exactly was in them. All of a sudden there was this Oompa Loompa woman asking if I was ok, I was until I turned round to be fair but anyway I asked her what type of three step kit I should be going for. They come with a mild face soap, a cleansing lotion and a moisturiser. They have different packs for different skin types so I chose combination skin. I am certainly not Normal lol. She then informed me if I bought one more item I would get a free gift. Well crap on a cracker you don't need to tell me twice, although I was stumped as to what to buy as I didn't really know what I was looking at with any of it, and this little elderly lady told me that she loves the cream blushers and the eye make up remover, so I opted for the latter as she explained that it doesn't sting or dry out your skin. Which is very important for my sensitive eyelids. 

So then I asked what my free gift was, and I was then shown this really cute tin, and the contents inside where superb, the products were all small versions but there was a mascara, a moisturiser, a cleanser, a foundation and a lipgloss. What a fantastic free gift.

I am really excited to try the products out because I have heard such great things, plus now that I have the few extras also I have even more to try out. So I will have some info on here as well as on my channel. 

So guys, it is Saturday... What is happening in your world?

What is your all time favourite skin care products? 

See you all next time. xxx

God Bless you all xxx

Bargain Beauty

Hello my darlings,

I hope you are all doing well, I have been doing a little shopping this week. I have been searching for bargain beauty brands that are not totally rubbish. On my youtube channel I have previously done a couple of bargain beauty looks, one of which was Natural Collection from Boots. Which I have to say I really liked most of their products.. Check it out here . I also did a make up look using Poundshop make up, but it was still a mishmash of brands... I wanted to do more One Brand Full Face Make Over.

So as I said I have been out doing a little shopping and so far I have three bargain brands that I want to share with you all. I will be filming beauty looks over on my channel for you to see and then doing in depth reviews and rambles of the actual products over here.

So this evening I am going to get stuck in to getting some filming done. So I will have more to share with you tomorrow :-) Inc my next mascara review. So my darlings watch this space.

Hope you are all well.

What would you like to see on my blog??

Hey everyone,

I am going to start doing more blogging, especially on days where I want to share with you but don't want to have my ugly mug on camera lol. I am not sure what all you guys would like to see.

I was thinking that I could do more in depth reviews here of the products I am trying out. For example I am currently reviewing Avons Mega Lash Mascara. I will do a 5 minute review on my Youtube Channel, but I will also do a more in depth review here. I am wanting to do a whole series of mascara reviews I think it would be good to do it here on my blog.

Here is a list of what reviews and things I have in store:

Face primer
Eye primer
Lip Balms
Mascara
Full Face Bargain Beauty (MUA, Seventeen, Poundshop)

What do you guys think? Have you got ideas of reviews I should be doing? I welcome all of your ideas.

Sending you all massive loving hugs.

Lyndsey. xx
