Little starz the music in me

I had the privilege of being hired to be the makeup artist on a show in the Armagh Theatre called the music in me. With a cast of 120 children ranging from totz to seniors.. The age range is from 4-18 which is very diverse .

I knew we had our work cut out for us I with the show being a musical .. The show included phantom of the opera, wicked, lady gaga , wizard of oz , hipp hop and many more .. All in all I believe there were over 300 makeups applied .

This was the biggest job I have ever taken on, and although there were a few minor mistakes the show went really well ... We have another show tonight an it should run more smoothly knowing what we now know .. But that's show biz!!!!!

 Every one done an amazing job and I would like to thank my sculpt makeup team .. With out you this show would have been impossible .. You are all amazing ..

P.s ill check for spelling errors later working on my phone :)

Sanctuary body moisture spray review

I though I would do a quick review on a product I love

  Sanctuary body moisture spray.

 This product claims to instantly hydrate and soften your skin with nourishing sweet almond, soothing jojoba and protective vitamin E.

s

 I have been using this product for around 6 months and i really do love it . I usually find when i finish a body product i move on to the next product. 

This product has got me and i love everything about it. i love the scent which is light and fresh and a slight we hint of floral. 

I really like that it comes in a spray bottle its not messy it goes on to the skin directly with out going over the furniture.

This product is very light weight its not tacky, its not to oily and its definitely not greasy .

This product is lovely on my skin, because of the busy life i lead i need something that is quick and doesn't take a lot of effort so this is ideal for coming out of the shower .

What the company say about their product : 

Benefits :

This fragrant, feather light oil spray instantly nourishes and conditions thirsty skin. Moisturising sweet almond oil, smoothing jojoba and antioxidant vitamin E are quickly absorbed to leave skin hydrated, soft and glowing with a healthy sheen. Suitable for pregnant women.

 

How to use:

 Spray lightly onto clean, dry skin. Smooth in using circular motions towards the heart.

Ingredients:

 Key Ingredients:

Jojoba
A light, natural emollient. It is said to mimic the action of sebum, which is the skins own lubricant. Helps to moisturise the skin and therefore promotes radiant complexion.

Sweet Almond Oil
Has a fine texture, is easily absorbed and helps to leave the skin soft and satiny smooth.

Vitamin E
Antioxidant. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that maintains cell membranes. It traps and neutralises free radicals created by the environment and offers good protection for the skin.

Full Ingredients List:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Isopropyl palmitate, Paraffinum liquidum (Mineral oil), Parfum (Fragrance), Tocopheryl acetate, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil, Hexyl cinnamal, Benzyl benzoate, Linalool, Limonene, Benzyl salicylate, Coumarin, Citral.

 

 Upon reading reviews about this product what i have noticed (which seems to be a huge negative) is the amount of product that you now get . In boots the bottle you can now buy is 150 mls and costs the same as the 250 ml bottle ( which is the bottle i have ) now i have searched the boots webs site and i cant find the product. Here is a link to the info i just posted and you can see the reviews

http://www.thesanctuary.co.uk/body-moisture-spray-details.htm

I reccomend that you try this product ...for 250ml  costing £5.50 is a good price point . For 150 ml and costing the same price seems to have caused upset .

Lush Sultana of Soap

I have to give sultana of soap by Lush a shout out !!!.
Sultana of soap is hands down my most favourite soap EVER!!!!!!
The scent is hard to describe its not an obvious scent, it is so unique and i would also say its probably not to every ones liking.
The soap is creamy and fresh, but not like summer fresh, its not an over powering fruity scent, it also has chunks of fruit which is kind of a pain as the soap breaks of round the top of it and to me its a waste.

While i was speaking to one of the girls in lush and we were talking about different products i like she said " oh you like calming smells" so i guess that's how this soap can be described by me as calming.
As i write this and hold the soap in my had i think if i had a fragrance this would be it. I would love if lush done this scent in the form of a solid perfume or in a complemtry range such a bath and body products, i would hands down clear them out of the shop!!!  so if you want to try a new lush soap give this a try :)

Carmex holy grail product

So I read a lot of posts about girls/women/men that find their holy grail products, while I love a wide range of cosmetics I do have a tendency to change my products a lot. Due to the fact that I have a lot of makeup and it all needs some love .

I can say hands down that my holy grail product is a lip product... And it's carmex !!!!!

I have used carmex for a lifetime. I have one in my car, one r two in my bag, and with out question I have one under my pillow at night as this seems 2 b the time, if any that my lips would dry out .

I would strongly advise against using Vaseline on your lips as there is an ingredient in it( I can't think of it of the top of my head and my battery is going 2 die on my iPhone ) basically Vaseline will do an amazing job at giving you chapped lips .. Have you ever needed Vaseline more after u actually start 2 u it????
I actually love Vaseline for applying over my moisturiser at night, it locks everything in place.

So back to carmex... I don't like the cherry flavoured carmex but that is personal preference. I can say that the amount if times in a year I have chapped lips is very minimal and only tends to occur if I get sick.
If u haven't tried carmex I would highly recommend that you do .. If you are a lip balm or gloss girl it may take some getting use to but stick with it an you will love it as much as I do
