Hi there dear friends.
It's all getting a bit much isn't it? I want this to be over and done with - it's beyond a joke now!!!
I didn't actually think I was high maintenance, but with lock-down still in place I'm 100% used to being well maintained! I have a list as long as my arm of things that need 'doing'. My nails are hideous! I always have gel nails done either at the salon or more recently my daughter has recently qualified so she does them. I'm proud of how my nails look and am seldom seen without beautifully manicured fingers! I've tried using Rimmel 60 seconds polish - I like the fact it's fast drying, but unfortunately hate the colours and dull flat look they leave. I bought a
gorgeous cerise pink the other day - but it definitely doesn't do "what is says on the tin" it's not remotely the same colour!!! I've also picked up a
Rimmel Top coat, but picked up the wrong one so need to exchange it!
My eyelashes are in need of lots, and I mean lots of attention. My daughter usually puts extensions on them, but she's not allowed out so hasn't been able to do them - shame. Waxing? Now waxing is another story, and I literally can't wait for the salon to open - now that will be an experience I can tell you! Enough said about that the better. 🤣
Now let's talk hair. That IS a more positive story, I've been watching some YouTube videos about fringe trimming, so I've cut my own!!! Yes it worked out alright and I'll be doing more in the future having also purchased some thinning scissors! What about the colour I hear you ask. I'm a slave to my roots and have them 'done' every 6 weeks - yes 6 weeks! It cost's a fortunate - so having to stay indoors with no salons opening any time soon I've resorted to buying a home colour and doing-it-myself, well I say myself my eldest did it for me on Monday night. I'm really pleased with the outcome. The shade is a brilliant match, it was fairly easy to apply and washed off easily - with a wonderful smelling conditioner leaving it shiny, smooth and super soft. Costing £7 from my local chemist, the
L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss (darkest brown) application has really impressed me. So long as it lasts the 28 washes it suggests I may well be converted!!
With comfy clothing all the rage for the time being I'm delighted to feature an outfit gifted by
Bonmarche. They have a vast selection of stylish, comfy, trendy as well as classic pieces which are just perfect for casual styling, but with the added advantage of being able to be dressed up a notch for fancy functions. Take a look at my choice of jeans and graphic tee which is really soft to touch and feels relaxing to wear too!
Available in sizes 10 - 28 the £18 pair of jeans comes in four leg lengths for the same price!
Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.
