March Beauty Favourites


Fountain, The Beauty Molecule
I use this liquid vitamin complex in my juices, full disclosure, it's tastes totally gross on it's own, so masking it in a juice is better. It definitely has made my skin and hair glow and my nails have been stronger too. A great alternative to vitamin tablets as it's packed full of water-soluble antioxidants that are absorbed instantly into your body, due to its liquid form, giving you healthy glowing skin.

Mac Clear Bow Set
My BAE, my brows are basically a myth and so are drawn on for the most part. Anyone who pencils in their tails will know that there's a high risk you may lose one or both eyebrows during the day. Therefore this is a miracle product. It's like Lipcote for your brows and I get through about five tubes a year.

Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan Eau de Parfum 
This deep and heady scent is quite polarising, it's not a trend floral or a sweet vanilla scent of the kind that are popular on the mass market. It's most certainly a niche fragrance, but if you're brave enough it's beautiful. The main note is, as the name suggests, amber and it's so warm and exotic and lasts for hours and hours. It's a really special perfume, if you like unusual scents then try this or some other Serge Lutens perfumes.

Nasty Gal x MAC



MAC cosmetics are certainly no stranger to a collaboration (or 27,000,000) and their latest collabo is right on the money. They’re teaming up with webtrepaneur and #GIRLBOSS Sophia Amoruso of fashion brand Nasty Gal. Amoruso has designed a range of three lipsticks (in pillar box red, vampy purple and deep burgundy) plus a nail lacquer. The products look great, but then MAC collaborations tend to be already fab MAC products with fancy new packaging. What do you think? Will you be dashing out to buy this collection?

25 BEAUTY Facts About Me


1/ I have moisturised my whole life- I thought everyone did. My mum always used to slather us kids in  moisturiser after baths! Good habits.

2/ I always use factor 50 in the summer. I'm trying to find a good SPF cream to use during winter. I will not get wrinkles.

3/ I used to suffer from adult acne- it was so horrible and really knocked my confidence. Luckily a trip to the doctor, a few months and some antibiotics sorted it out. I still get a bit paranoid though.


4/ I like the colour of my skin- although it changes quite dramatically. I tan soooo much during summer but in winter I'm relatively pale. That's why I don't wear foundation. I never know what colour my face will be!

5/ I'm allergic to the active ingredient in pretty much all spot creams so when I do get a spot I have to just grin and bare it! Tea tree oil can help though.

6/ I hate my teeth- my wisdom teeth have made them all wonky in the past couple of years... I'm livid! They used to be pretty nice. I also hate my nose- but like piercing it!

7/ My favourite part of me- or one of them- is my hair. It's quite shiny and very long and soft. It can go a bit mental sometimes but that can be fun. It's naturally wavy but easy to straighten or wear curly.

8/ E45 is my favourite moisturiser- it's a bit greasy but you know it does the job. It's also gentle on my sensitive skin.

9/ My skin is so irritable. I've had countless allergic reactions- some so bad I've not been able to open my eyes. I seek out natural products.

10/ My number one hair tip is to not wash it that often and to avoid blowdrying and straightening. My hair is in a scruffy topknot 99% of the time.

11/ Invest in good bobbles too- not ones with metal clips they tear your hair!

 12/ I have two beauty spots (or freckles depending on your point of view) on my face. One above my lip and one above my eye.

13/ My desert island beauty product? An eyebrow pencil. I have no eyebrows. Not due to over plucking- I was literally born with no eyebrows. Nightmare.

14/ My eyebrow pencil of choice- Rimmel. Cheap as chips and the best I've tried. And I've tried a lot.

15/ I love Bobbi Brown gel liner and have been using it for about 6 or 7 years. It really is the best eyeliner on the market.

16/ I always try to take off my makeup before bed- sometimes I fail- I don't wear THAT much day-to-day so if i do the results aren't that bad.

17/ I wear WAY less makeup now than I did a couple of years ago. Coming to London from the North was a culture shock. Londoners wear way less makeup. They're about good skin and looking effortless. It was an adjustment...

18/ ...especially letting go of my beloved false lashes. There was a point in my life when wore them almost every day and I certainly I wouldn't go partying without them on! Heaven forbid. Now I can even go OUT out with minimal make up and no lashes.

19/ The other day I went OUT out with my hair in a scruffy topknot. That was a first and I felt fine.
 20/ My mum and dad are 52 and 50 respectively and neither have any wrinkles at all so hopefully genetics will prevail and I'll have good skin as I age!

21/ Although I love my hair- it is so fine! So I'm quite conscious about it snapping. I swear every time someone hugs me they rip out strands of my hair. Oh, and I don't do anything chemically to it!

22/ My favourite makeup brand is MAC because most of their stuff is unperfumed and their lipsticks and eyeshadows are so highly pigmented.

23/ My all time fave lipstick is MAC Ruby Woo- which is a perfect red shade. It looks great on olive and asian skin as it's the right balance of orange and blue.

24/ I use argan oil on my face body and hair as it has antibacterial qualities and leaves everything soft. No wonder Moroccan women look so beautiful!

25/ My number one beauty tip? You are what you eat. Drink lots of water, eat loads of fruit and veg and nuts and fish... all that good stuff. I'm a sweetie addict and whenever I binge on junk my skin regrets it.

So that's it- I hope my 25 beauty facts were interesting!  Sheree XX
