A shoot; pt Two

So here are a few more shots from the other day with Ed Firminger.
Seems like we were glamourising smoking but we were looking for the effect the smoke can make more than anything.

SWEATER H&M

Christmas jumper!

 

Heres a sneaky peek of my Christmas Jumper!
Was too excited about it before I had chance to do a proper shoot.
I'll be posting about it very soon along with where it's from and how much.
Litte clue - it's in the picture!

Just before Summer

 

Thought I'd share with you some shots that Edd Firminger did of me in the early summer.
We do a few every now and then together and it's always a great experience.

I'm no longer blonde. Tbh when I look back at this set, it kinda makes me miss it.
But alas, I am a brunette through and through.
I never felt quiet myself with blonde locks.
I suppose it's in every girls nature to experiment with hair and it was just clear I was a dark'n.
At least I got a nice set before I got rid!

 

I have more sets to upload and you can find more on Ed's site!
Enjoy!

 

 

How long does Benefit Make up last?

 

So back In June, I became part of the Benefit family when I bought a few products.

These were:

Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow

and

Boi-ing Benefit Concealer

 

Now for anyone who has bought Benefit when on a low income, it can burst a nice big beautiful hole in your pocket. At around £25 for each, it can be a bit more expensive that your normal products.
This then makes you weary not to use it all straight away. So I did what any girl would do and tried to use it for important events only. Which tbh, weren't many.
So then I decided, ok, you can maybe go a little easier on yourself. What about every other day?
And then, I stopped caring and just went for it, ha.

 

So here are mine.:

 

So these were bought in June. It's now December and I have a little less than half from the foundation. The concealer is a little less, but for your money, I wasn't sure how much you got as the packaging can be deceaving. To say I've been using them religiously for a few months, it's not that bad at all!

I'm not a fan of caking myself in make up though, that has to be said.

And there have been various Rimmel Foundations making an appearance throughout the months.

 

 

I do believe that you have a skin type. And that skin type doesn't define you. Every other day I have a different skin type, not just one. I suffer from excema, so for one day I need something for dry, sensitive skin and on other days when I'm not so bad, I just need something that covers.

So I do range from one to another, which also needs to be taken into account.

 

 

This concealer is AMAZING. I was told by the Benefit sales assistant that applying concealer first is always good, then your foundation, and then a second coat of concealer on top.

I follow this pretty much everytime I use Boi-ing and it's only now starting to wear away.
When buying this, I thought the packaging was a little deeper. You can never tell how much you're actually getting. Unfortunately, you get a few layers of this before you hit the bottom.

 

I would buy this again, but I might need to wait for a few pay days.

I'm currently using Rimmel, alongside Benefit. As a product they are AMAZING value. They are brilliant and do exactly what they say, whilst maintaining a fun and vibrant look.
Three cheers for Benefit ;) x
