Girls Trip to Amsterdam

Well, it has been a while since I was last posting on here. I can't believe I've let myself go almost 4 months without blogging. Quite a lot has happened since I last blogged, so I thought I would make my return by sharing a few photos from my recent trip to Amsterdam.

My two best friends Laura and Rosie are teachers, so for their half term we decided we would head off somewhere none of us had been before, and after a bit of looking around we booked a trip to Amsterdam. We went on the 26th October (a Monday), with Rosie and myself meeting Laura in Amsterdam since she lives in London and we where flying from Belfast. After a very straightforward flight, we met Laura in the airport and headed to the airport, only for us to get onto the wrong train. Luckily a very nice man informed us of this shortly after and we were able to get off at the next station and back in the other direction to Amsterdam Centraal!

Review | Make-Up Atelier Tzone Gel

I'm sure I have mentioned this before, but one of my biggest skincare issues is how unbelievably oily my skin can get. I'm not talking a slight bit of shine here, I mean full on oil that no amount of matte foundations and powder seems to be able to keep under control. So you can understand my skepticism when I was recommended the Make-Up Atelier Tzone Gel by a make-up artist who was giving me a make-up lesson.

Review | Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash

Back in April I had a skin consultation as part of a makeup lesson, and the woman who took it gave me some brilliant suggestions for my skin care routine. One of these suggestions was the Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash. Balance Me is a natural, paraben and sulphate free, British skincare brand that I have somehow managed to never try.

As somebody with combination/oily skin (emphasis on the oily) this was recommended to me due to the fact it is a foaming face wash which helps to balance out the oiliness in my t-zone without drying out the more normal areas of my skin. The product has a gel texture which doesn't leave a film and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean.
