My January Favourites

Hello Lovelies,

I thought I would talk to you today about what I have been Loving in January I used some of these products in the month of December too so I feel like I can give these Products a Review as well.

I have spoke about this Palette before it's the Tarte Holidaze Palette so far I have only used 2 out of the 4 Palettes that you get in the palette.

I will do Swatches and give a more Indepth Review when I have used it a little bit more.

    I love the idea behind this Palette you get 4 Palettes in total
    and you can change them up and put them in the little Travel
    Palette.

    I love the idea that Tarte added a Blusher into each of their
    Palettes it's so nice to have that and be able to use it on the go.
    even though you shouldn't need to really as these Blushers have
    a lot of Staying Power.

Disneyland Part 2, January 2011

Hello Lovelies,

This is the second part of the post I did on Paris Disneyland the first part I spoke about a few weeks ago.

The first time I went to Paris was for my 27th Birthday wow I can't believe it's nearly 10 Years ago now. where does the time go.

If you want to read that post you can read it here Beauty With Andrea Paris Disneyland Part one .

The second time I went to Paris I went with my friend she had never been and wanted to go and I didn't need asking twice so we went for a long weekend to celebrate our Birthdays as they are close together.

This time I went to Paris in  January 2011 we stayed in Central Paris so it was easy to Commute to Disneyland and other areas of Paris.

We went to quite a few Museums while we were in Paris which were  Musee du Louvre,  Musee D'Orsay,  Les Arts Decoratifs - Musee  Des Arts Decoratifs  .

I never used to be a person that likes to visit Museums but I really enjoyed it and I've since gone to a few more local Museums.

I thought I had some Photos on my computer of the Museums we visited but I have checked and I haven't but I do have plenty of Disneyland

                                          You always know you have arrived when you see
                                           the Pink Princess Castle.
                                           It's so Pretty it makes you feel like a Child again
                                           though.

When In Rome a lesson that I learnt

Hello Lovelies,

In todays post I thought I would talk about the time I went to Rome it's been that long since I went I can't remember where we stayed the reason for that is probably due to the fact that I was really ill when I went and looking back in hindsight I should never have flown out there.

I didn't realise at the time but I had a bad case of tonsilitus on top of  a really bad head cold my head was throbbing and I lost my voice before we flew out.
If this was to happen now it would send all kind of Alarm Bells going off but it was a Birthday Gift from my ex partner and I didn't want to let him down which just sounds so silly now I say it out Aloud.

Anyway I started to feel really ill at Manchester Airport not a very nice vision but I was sick In the bin luckily it was only Water because I couldn't eat anything so I was just keeping my Fluids up really by drinking plenty of Water.

I was okay on the Flight to Rome the problem was getting off the Plane I felt really Dizzy when we got off the Plane which I just put it down to lack off Food.
I hadn't eaten properly in days because I had been that ill. so we went to get some Food and Drink and the person that served us was just so Rude to us there.
 obviously we stuck out like a sore thumb but we were Paying Customers.

At that point I thought to myself I hope this is not a Sign of things to come luckily it wasn't they wasn't over friendly to us like other Countries but I don't remember anyone else being that rude to us while we were there.

Once in the Hotel we decided just to Relax and start fresh the next day but the next day I couldn't lift my head off the Pillow so there was no way I could get out of bed so I stayed in bed for a few hours and my ex went out which I didn't realise as I was that out of it.

Ibiza 2008

Hello Lovelies,

I thought I would do another post were you get to see a bit of my life it's one thing talking about Beauty Products which literally I could do all day long but you don't get to know me as a person and this is what having this blog is all about so you my lovely readers can get to know me not just words on a page but the Real me.

I have to admit when I thought of Ibiza I didn't think it would be as nice as it was myself and my ex husband decided to go to Ibiza when we had just turned 30 at the time we wasn't Married and thought it might be nice to have a week in Ibiza which is known for it's Nightlife at the time we were both big on Dance Music.

We didn't stay in San Antonio which is the main part of Ibiza we stayed in San Miguel it is just so Beautiful there and I think I would definitely go back there some day if the opportunity came up.
They had some lovely bars there but it was also nice to venture out to San Antonio which was a bit livelier.

I have some photos to show you of my time there.

                                         When I saw this van in San Miguel, Ibiza I had to take
                                          the photo.

                                          I never actually thought about where the beer was brewed
                                          Whenever we went out and I was asked what I wanted
                                           to drink I said well as were in San Miguel I will have a
                                           San Miguel.
                                           I found it quite funny.

My First Fashion Show October 2007

Hello Lovelies,

Here is another different post for you all to read along with Beauty, Fashion is one of my Passions.
I have loved Fashion ever since I was a little girl and I used to go Shopping with my mum and seeing her in all the lovely Outfits.

I remember going to C&A with my mum I used to try all the Lovely Hats and the Stilettos I must have looked so funny I was like 8 Years old at this point.

Anyway back to this Post when I first moved to Manchester I started to really get into Photography there is so many nice Buildings to Photograph.

Then I heard that there was going to be a Fashion Show at the Urbis in Manchester back in October 2007.

I can't believe it was so long ago it was just 2 Years after I moved to Manchester I have so many good Memories of living there.

So here are some of the photos from the fashion show that I attended.

Travel - Paris

Hello Lovelies,

I have been fortunate over the last 10 years to have travelled quite a lot and I would like to share my experiences and photos of the places that I have visited.

Firstly I wanted to talk about one of my favourite places in the world that I have visited and I have been lucky enough to visit Paris Disneyland twice now.

The first time was a complete Surprise my ex husband booked us a trip to Paris for my Birthday/Valentines Day which was probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me and even though I'm no longer married I will never forget that trip.

I had wanted to go to Disneyland for so long at this point and he just booked the tickets for us to go and the Hotel we stayed at was lovely too was such a nice trip I have plenty of photos for you to see of this trip and the second time I visited Paris was for mine and my friends birthdays because it's only like a week or two apart so we decided to go to Paris for a girls weekend and I got to go back to Disneyland for the day and we saw some other sights as well.

Here are some photos from the first time I went to Disneyland and saw my first Disney Parade

 This photo of Minnie Mouse is definitely one of my favourite photos Minnie is one of my favourite characters.

Make-Up That I am Excited To Try In 2016

Hello Lovelies,

Here I am struggling with my insomnia yet again so I thought what better to do then to write a blog post about the make-up that I am really excited to try for 2016.

These are my Christmas presents that I got mainly off my mum she really spoilt me this year.

I did think about doing what I got for Christmas blog post but I spent most of Christmas and New year with my mum and only came home on the 2nd January so I decided against it.

The first thing I am really excited about using is a make-up palette I got and it's by the brand Tarte it's the Holidaze Palette.

I have been wanting to try the make-up brand Tarte for such a long time now I have heard such great things about it but it's an American brand I believe and have struggled to find it especially the limited edition make-up sets they can be really difficult to get hold of.

Here is what the palette looks like....

Dupe Make-Up Brushes V's Real Technique Brushes

Hello Lovelies,

Hope you are all well.

A few weeks before Christmas I was on eBay looking for some new make-up brushes when I came across these lovely dupes for the Real Techniques Bold Metal Brush Collection I didn't want to post them straight away as I wanted to do a review on these Make-Up Brushes of course I didn't expect them to be as good as the Real Technique ones because of the difference in price but paying more money doesn't always have to mean there better Quality. 

Here are the brushes that I bought off eBay 

Here are the bold metal face brushes I got them in the beginning of November and I've been using them constantly since then so I think I can give a fair review.

What A Sad Day For My Real Techniques Stippling Brush

Hello Lovelies,

Hope you had a lovely Christmas I wish each and everyone of you all the very best for 2016.

I thought I would share this post with you today as this has never happened to me before especially with a Real Techniques Make-Up Brush this is one of my Favourites too.

What happened was I was filming for my You Tube Channel and do you know when your brushes shed one or two hairs I thought this is what was happening but then every time I kept going over my Foundation more and more hair from the Make-Up Brush kept falling out onto my Face when I touched the Make-Up Brush a whole Clump of Bristles from the Make-Up Brush came out  so it's Un-useable now which is a real shame as it was such a good Make-Up Brush and I loved using it but I did have it for a couple of Years.

I'm just happy it wasn't one of my New Collection Real Techniques Bold Metals Make-Up Brushes as there more Expensive to buy
