What's New? Don’t be frightened of colour! Especially going into Spring & Summer. This Revolution Mousse Eyeshadow is a fabulous colour called Lilac. At £3.99 it’s really good value. Soft and easy to use, with a brush or fingertip. Added some pencil in Twilight, which was actually a very old Cosmetics a la Carte one and finished off with Telescopic black mascara. So don’t let colour put you off or frighten you as it will give you that new look you want! 

A gradual tan to give you that healthy look without the mess and worry of being too dark and it all looking a disaster! I’ve used the new Dove Summer Revived Gradual Tan from Superdrug. £2.79. Good texture, easy to apply, not sticky and nice smell! Definitely one of the better options. What's not to like! Really it’s foolproof! Www.shoestringbeauty.com

What's out there? Trying to combat slight dodgy Winter hands? My go to hand cream is always the soft and creamy Lacura Hand Cream by Aldi £3.99, hits the spot every time! I’ve fallen in love with the Rubarb & Rose hand cream by Molten Brown, oh the smell! But if you want the ultimate in hand care with 1% retinol, to help fade those dark age spots (what an awful word) aka sun damage, then look no further! It comes from Beauty Pie £12.50 for members otherwise £40. This is the stuff of miracles! I’ve used it for a week, day and night and all I can say is, wow, what a difference! If you want results, get it! Super Retinol Anti Ageing Hand Cream.    

I wanted to try Victoria Beckham’s chiseling techniques! Considering that I've never had cheekbones I thought I would give it a go! So I used a Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit for light and medium toned skin. £5.99 it's like a dry powder( I know sounds strange!) but it's neither matte and flat or creamy. It's a good product and nice colours, easy to blend. From Superdrug. I used it under my cheekbones, in a cross each side of my forehead, down the sides of my nose and under the jaw! Then blended all in towards my hairline with a nice chunky brush from Primark. This was fun, though on retrospect I think I needed to blend it in more, and it’s definitely not a something I would do everyday!
