Graceful Glamour UK

Well it seems to have been another busy/stressful week so far and this week has run away with me! There was lots I wanted to get done, but as usual with my Fibromyalgia and Crohns Disease, sometimes it just doesn't happen. My little one seems to be zapping what little energy I do have, but that's nothing new!  I wanted to get my haul post up with swatches, but I didn't manage that just yet. But I do have what I was most excited to tell you about, the I ❤ Makeup Bleeding Heart Highlighter. To say this is stunning, is a complete understatement. Ok so first let's look at the packaging. I love that it comes in a box with some tape on, as I'm always worried when I buy in store, that someone has had their fingers all in the product. Eeeeewwwww!! But more on that later... When you open the box, you find a lovely heart shaped box with a bleeding heart, with the name and product size etc. That brings me nicely on to my next point, the price of this product is...

Evening all! Thought I'd just do a quick face of the day post. I normally don't go for a dark lip, but after getting the Makeup Revolution Lip Kit in Integrity, I knew I had to give it a go! My reasons for avoiding them usually is because I can look quite drained, but happily this one seems to quite suite me. To start with, after my usual skincare I applied my The Ordinary Coverage Foundation, this applies like a dream and is not heavy or cakey at all. The coverage is medium to full, which is especially good for my spotty red skin today. Then I applied my Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer which definitely covers a multitude of sins. I'd heard great things, but I've been shocked at how well it covers my horrible dark circles, spots and redness on my nose. I then topped off the places that had concealer with a light dusting of my Maybelline Fit Me powder. Next was my contour, and for this I used my Makeup Revolution Contour stick which is a lovely cre...

Hi all, it's been a tough week after my daughter has been quite ill. On Saturday night she starred getting severe stomach pains, went very pale and generally unwell. From calling the 111 service, to getting her checked three times, sleepless nights getting her examined seeing doctors, chemist and back again! The way things stand at the moment, it's either the start of appendicitis or swollen glands in her tummy. Apparently we won't know if it is appendicitis unless it gets very bad and the pain starts to travel, so I've got to keep a "close eye on her". Well that's my bit of drama, so let's get on with the Haul! Unless you've been living under a rock since 2014 you'll know that Tam Beauty are the parent company of the brands Makeup Revolution, Freedom and I ❤ Makeup. They are a company that prides itself on keeping up with the latest makeup trends and offering them to consumers at an affordable price. From what I've seen so far from...

Evening all, it's been a long, long day today. In fact it's tomorrow already! On a Wednesday my daughter has to be in school by 8:15, so we have to be up at 6:30 🙈The weather has been shocking here in our small seaside town and things always seem worse when the weather is bad. Well in better news,  I've been trying out some lovely skin and make-up products from The Ordinary. Today I used my Coverage Foundation in 1.1p which is the perfect colour for my pale skin with pink undertones. I also used the High Spreadability primer which is the perfect base for this foundation. This is really just a first impressions post, as I would like to try each of these products with others to see what works and it doesn't before I give a full well rounded review. I really wanted to tell you how pleased I was with how well my make-up lasted today, especially with all the rain and having been on so early in the morning. First of all, this foundation applies like a DREAM. I've use...
