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...

Hi All, well, what can I say? It's been literally years! But I've decided to start fresh, with re-naming the blog Graceful Glamour. My previous readers will remember that the old blog was called Charlie D Beauty, but things were rather different back then! I don't remember Blogger being so difficult to work with. I'm having problems working the google + and getting the button on my page, so if anyone has advice I'd really appreciate it! Since I left Charlie D Beauty behind, such allot has happened. I'm now a qualified Nail Technician, but my health has been so ba with my Crohns Disease and I was then diagnosed with Fibromyaligia, that I'm currently on long term sick. To say 2017 was a bad year for me and my daughter would be an understatement to say the least. I suffered two unimaginally painful and tragic losses, then lost my home in June, resulting in us being placed in temporary housing. There aren't any words to describe how ...
