Younique 3D Fiber Mascara

 As many of you know this product has been about for some time now and if you’re an avid fan of social media you will have definitely seen women posting pictures of there before and after pictures to demonstrate how the Fiber Lash Mascara works.

I was very sceptical about trying this product as I never tend to follow the hype when it comes to products such as this. I have seen plenty of news surrounding Younique and “how amazing” there products are. These tend to be comments made by the representatives selling them, alongside my friend who approached me to try out the product, which has pleasantly surprised me.

I wear contact lenses so I was a little worried at first to if the fibers would fall into my eyes and cause irritation, however I can vouch that this wasn’t the case, and in fact once the fibers are sealed correctly you can guarantee that they will stay in place all day without causing any problems.

The best thing about this type of Mascara is that you can build up the Fibers to whatever consistency you like, so you could have long luscious lashes for the night-time and soft delicate lashes for the day time. This all depends on how many coats you wish to apply.Personally I love long lashes, the longer and thicker the better for me, some people don’t like the ‘spider’ look, which I totally appreciate as it can look too ‘fake’ when doing this, especially if you are not used to wearing a lot of makeup.

When you open the nicely packaged product you will notice it comes with 2 tubes, a transplanting gel, which you apply first, and then the second tube which is the fibers. The key to applying the fibers is to apply the transplanting gel, then the fibers and to set them in place another coat of the transplanting gel.

It’s a little more tricky than applying your usual mascara, and you may see it as an hassle to go back and forth between the 2 tubes, however once you get into the swing of things, you’ll pick up what kind of look you are going for.

My technique for application is as follows: (I do one eye at a time)

• Curl lashes for extra effect.
• Apply a coat of your original mascara first and let this dry.
• Apply the transplanting gel and immediately apply the fibers to let them attach themselves onto your lashes.
• Always apply another coat of the transplanting gel over the fibers to set them.
• If you want thicker longer lashes, repeat the process.

There is no denying that my lash looks completely different once the fibers have been applied, I would say this product is great for if you aren’t in a position to wear false lashes, or aren’t they great at applying them.

True Beauty Academy, Pontefract.

Hello my beauty’s

 

I thought I would give you some inside information on an academy I have recently been studying one day accredited courses with. As they are Babtac accredited, the courses they offer are popularly recognised amongst the beauty industry.

To say I never thought I would like the beauty industry as much as I have been doing, I am definitely feeling like I am getting somewhere with my career heading in the right direction. 

I first got in touch with Chelsy (the recruited manager for True Academy) in relation to becoming accredited on gel nail application. I have felt passionate towards nail art for the past few years, but needed to obtain a certificate to start doing my gel nail services on more than just my friends and family, and to cover me for insurance purposes.

Upon requesting information, I have also become aware of other courses that the academy also provides, I have listed these below;

Manicure

Pedicure

Gel Polish

Waxing

Intimate Waxing

Spray Tan

Enhance Appearance of Eyelashes & Eyebrows

Eyelash Extensions

Facials

Full Body Massage

Hot Stone Massage

I am also aware of other accredited courses coming up within the next few months, so keep an eye out on their website for further information www.truebeautyacademy.co.uk

As part of a deal they had running; I managed to attend two courses for £150.00 alongside gel nail application, I also chose to study the Spray Tan course, which works hand in hand with body painting, which I will be studying in September 2015 on my media make up course.

Chelsy is a patient ray of sunshine, alongside her friendly personality she’s also there to help and give advice after the course has finished.  She has plenty of experience when it comes to the land of beauty, which should reassure you (she really does know what she is talking about!!!) I find that attempting other courses alongside Beauty Therapy Level 2 that it has also opened my eyes to what other treatments are popular.

I learnt a few interesting facts whilst at the academy, and if you didn't already know… the first acrylic nail was founded by a dentist! In fact most of the beauty products are founded by doctors and dentists in the first instance. 

So if you are looking to start a hobby, or even further your beauty career, I would highly recommend True Beauty Academy, as they are professional and really make you feel at ease. Why not get in contact yourself? Or have a treatment by one of the experienced beauticians yourself at their salon based in Wakefield.

Thank you for reading, any questions just ask, or speak to the academy yourself.

Until my next post, remember to stay beautiful.

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;

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!

The shop is so appealing to the eye, all you have to do is look at the pictures below to see for yourself...

                             

It's a pleasure to have been asked to recommend some products for you all to try out for yourselves! I didn't mention this in my last post but this is another amazing opportunity for me to learn more from the makeup/beauty industry! Thanks to the guys at Body Shop UK. 

You may have already seen my posts on my social networking sites in relation to me now working with The Body Shop, Wakefield store but I've even more exciting news...

on with the reviews...

Wonderblur - Nutriganics Drops of Youth range. rrp: £16.00

So you've tried a lot of different primers by now girls and maybe you're wanting to update your collection of skincare routine products, within its 30ml size I would definitely say The Body Shops version of the highly rated 'blur primer' is good for value at its bargain price.

You don't need to use a lot of product for it to glide effortlessly across your face or problem areas, I would recommend just a small pea sized amount and you will be guaranteed, this product will last you at least a few months. 

For application apply after all your usual skincare routine (cleanse, tone and moisturise) and wait for your moisturiser to sink in. You might want to look at what else The Body Shop offers in relation to your daily skincare routine! The salons experts will be happy to assist you down at Trinity Walk in Wakefield, to fit your skin type! The best for my skin is the tea tree range. 

One of the benefits I've found whilst using this product, is its wonderful for saving on my foundation! (Everyone loves a saving!) As I don't need to use as much as it blends so nicely on top. If you suffer from oily skin throughout the day this is perfect for a matte look as it has a hydrating technology of up to 12 hours with a flawless finish!  Give it a whirl and see how you get on!  :)

Shimmer Cubes - Palette 32 – rrp. £16.00

If you're into a shimmery eye, this look is the one for you! I've been a fan of the shimmer cubes for a few years now and I've had several different versions, however I loved that I was given this lovely spring 2015 one to trial, if you're like me and hate the winter, this has made me feel better knowing spring will be here soon and these colours were made to brighten up your day. 

I wear contact lenses, so if you're also a contact lens wearer these are 100% safe to use with! Most make up is this day in age but it's good to check what won't aggravate your eyes.

I used the 'Wonderblur' on my eye lids too to help keep the colour in place for an all-day look! You can use this palette with a dry or wet brush, which is perfect for how intense you would like the colour to be. (In my picture) I used a dry look and lined my eyes after application alongside mascara. I've known these palettes to last a long time so I think value for money at a small £16.00 isn't badly priced for something you could pay over double for at competitive companies. 

The best thing about this palette is. You can really play around with the colours, find what suits you. I think they work perfectly for fair coloured girls like myself as it contrasts well against pale skin and green eyes. The 'Shimmer Cube' comes in a range of different colours, so why not stock up on a few for different looks? :)

Lip & Cheek Velvet Stick - rrp £12.00

Lip and Cheek pencils are a popular purchase for most woman, these products remind me very much of the 'Clinique Chubby stick' range, as they are new to launch in Spring 2015 in five different shades. I tested out the Coral shade.

This perfectly compact product, promised a velvety texture on my skin, very easy to apply and had a slight floral aroma!

I love how you can use this as a lip colour or add a flush of colour to your cheek bones. 

Universal Shade - Lip and Cheek Velvet Stick  - rrp - £12.00

Now... Don't be put off at how odd this product looks as its ... yes you can see ... Black. 

It was my most interesting product to try out as it baffled me how it works, with its unique formula it can be used on lips and cheeks to deliver a poppy/berry colour by reacting to your own personal pH level.

I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the colour it goes on me but I have swatched below for you to see. The more you apply the intensity increase therefore a deeper colour. I think I'm just so used to pastel colours, and this is why I can't get used to it been so dark on me. 

It's a nice matte look so you can accompany with lipgloss if you feel the need, however I like the matte effect. This also matches the same price as the previous Velvet Stick shown above at only £12.00. If you want to try something a little of of the ordinary, then why not invest in this universal velvet stick, it can change colours with how hydrated/ dehydrated you are. 

and there you have it!

Don't forget to go down and see the products for yourselves and make great savings on the 5th and 6th February! Let me know what you get! I may well be popping down myself on the 6th to test out some more of the new range. 

Hope to see you there!
