Very Important Mummies - The Body Shop - Wakefield Trinity

Hello to all my followers ! 

Spring is finally appearing to look like its on its way, with the sun recently attempting to break through, what better way to remind you of Spring than the wonderful day that is Mothers Day! If you haven't already thought of ideas for what you and your Mum can get up to....That's where I can help!

The Body Shop in Wakefield, Trinity Walk are hosting a special lock in evening on the 12th March (which is a Thursday!) between the times of 6pm and 8.30pm! This is perfect for if you want to come along and look at gifts to buy your Mum or why not even bring her with you to be pampered ?

You can even get discount of 25% off when using code 19804 with a minimum spend of £5.00. Bargain!

The event as it stands is called 'Very Important Mummies' true to its name, it's time for you to return all the favours and treat her to her favourite smelly s.

As this is a special event, invitation is by invite only, I've been advised by the assistant manager, that there is only 13 tickets left ! So if you want to be part of this fruitful event then make sure you get down to the Wakefield branch to secure your ticket. Tickets are priced at £5.00, however this is redeemable on the night and you can choose how you then wish to spend this on any of your chosen products. 

The staff at the branch are super friendly and go above and beyond to make sure they give you all the advice you need, I've even had a few questions pointed my way, about what products work best for different skin tones. I'm personally obsessed with the Vitamin E range at the moment and will be doing an upcoming blog on this fabulous range.

A few things to look out for when you are looking for something new is the best sellers, which I have shown below for you to feast your eyes on;

The Smoky Poppy collection to the left, is a perfect little gift set of; 

• Smoky Poppy Shower Gel 250ml
• Smoky Poppy Body Butter 200ml
• Poppy Sponge Flower

 

The Drops of youth range, shown to the side and below, which I briefly spoke about in my last Body Shop blog, is also ideal for enhancing your skin. I now use the Wonderblur as part of my daily make-up routine. I absolutely love it!

The Drops of Youth, Bouncy Sleeping Mask, is something I want to try; it sounds perfect from the description; (your skin repairs itself whilst you sleep)

• Youth-enhancing formula for bouncier-looking skin
• Unique bouncy, memory shape texture
• With Edelweiss stem cells

I will be there on the evening ! So I hope to see you there! Any questions beforehand, just let me know! 

See you all soon

Career Planning, Hard work is paying off.

Hello my beautiful readers,

Since my last post, I have had so many lovely messages regarding the review I did on some of the latest products that The Body Shop has introduced to their UK Stores. I am glad it’s made people more aware of what’s on offer. I will be doing more reviews on some more products from there in the upcoming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.

I have been working on updating my blog, and making it easier to search for by changing the domain name, as you can now use www.makeupislife.co.uk to locate it, I will also be looking to revamp the page within the year! Any suggestions on what you would like to see are welcome J

THE EXCITING NEWS, regarding my application for Level 3 Media Make up, Hair and Special Effects, I had my interview at the place I wish to study last Tuesday and I am absolutely thrilled to be offered a place there, and even more happy to share below what I had to do to gain a place. Roll on September 2015!

When I first received the brief in the post, I was a little nervous because at the time, my immensely ridiculous immune system meant I was poorly again and couldn’t focus on anything. I had 2 weeks to think of ideas and practice them… (argh!)

By the second week, I started to feel a lot better, trying to fit everything in around a full time job and college was a challenge, but once I got my head around what I wanted to do, it all seemed to go to plan.

The Brief:

I had to collect images from a current fashion collection by a designer I found inspirational… I choose Alexander Mcqueen, his works always inspired me, not only that his life in general. If you aren’t already aware of how his life ended, then take a read, it’s quite heart wrenching, and makes me feel really sad that a lot of successful people lose their way when they gain so much public attention.

The Task:

Produce a Make Up and Hair plan for the collection that demonstrates creativity and a flair for fashion, then document this onto a mood board and practice the final look on either myself or a model.

The Interview:

 I didn’t know what to expect from the interview as it was 90 minutes long, it involved me and around another 20 potential student’s within a room listening to a presentation provided by the department’s tutors. To try and stand out from the others (as I really didn't know what the other struents were planning) I decided to use more 3D objects rather than just cut outs on magazines and paper. I used foam board, and a lot of colourful fabrics/art prepare for my final piece. 

I met a few lovely girls there, some of which are looking to study Level 2, I was super lucky to get on to the Level 3 course, due to never having studied art in the past and with it being more advanced, the tutor who interviewed me mentioned that with the board I created, that I would be capable of going straight onto the Level 3 course. I still feel overwhelmed, when I attended the open day I was told that they had already interviewed over 150 people for only 4 classes available (2 of which are part time, which I will need to do to fit in around work) even more of a shock was.... I wasn't expecting to be offered a place that night!!!

See below for my work! Any questions on how I did certain things, just ask! I am more than happy to help people, as much as I have received help from people who already work in the field I am so hoping I get in to.

The Inspiration (Mood board and Hair Piece created)

The Final Look:

As demonstrated by my lovely friend Paula, who was patient enough to sit and allow me to do her hair and make-up for the ideas created.

                                             

                                             

Until my next post... remember strive to be happy, and always live in your day dream.
