Hi everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well during what can only be described as something like a film. It is very overwhelming to try and take in all that is happening and my heart goes out to those who have had to shut business until this is all over. All we can hope is that it will pass sooner rather than later and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we won’t take anything for granted ever again.

Working hard or hardly working Mary?!
The first part of the masterclass was based on skincare. Fortunato shared his valuable tips and expertise with everyone and it was very interactive which was great. Below you will see him testing out one of the Lancome products – I don’t think anyone got away without a spritz of this (which smelled amazing) and it is designed to keep your make-up in place all day.
After the skincare, Fortunato moved on to make-up and the focus was less is more. The finished look was beautiful and he has a very good way of making you want every single product!
Yes Mary, we all look at Fortunato like that too!
There was also a fun questions section and those who guessed correctly won a little spot prize. This lovely lady won my favourite cleanser from Lancome. It is the Miel En Mousse and when you use it, the make-up just slides off your face. I have no need to use eye make-up remover with this cleanser and not to mention it also smells beautiful!
There wasn’t a question that Fortunato couldn’t answer and everyone left with lots of tips and tricks they can use for their skincare and make-up routines.
Fortunato with our beautiful model for the night – the finished look was fresh and radiant and she also won a hamper filled with Lancome goodies so I hope you enjoy them!
I had a great time covering the social media for the event and I hope you enjoyed tuning into the live videos and stories if you were viewing from the comfort of your home. Well done to the girls for such a fantastic night – when’s the next one?!
For this month’s post, I’m showing you the SoSu Eye Voltage Eyeliner which is another new stellar product that they have released. Now, I am no expert when it comes to applying liquid eyeliner – I can do just about the basics but I know that so many are ahmazing and their wings/flicks are as sharp as a knife so, kudos to you! I need something that makes application as seamless as possible & this eyeliner pen made life a lot easier thanks be to heavens!
I know it’s difficult in a blog post to get across how it applies etc so keep an eye on my social channels this week as my sister has offered to apply it on me and I can video the process so that you’ll get a better idea. In a nutshell, what I did love was how easy it is to apply and also how intense the colour was. I’ll pop some info on the liner below so that you can read a little more on it.
This isn’t just any normal shower gel because it also has a shimmer which is IDEAL for a festival! Between 
We always want that little bit of a golden glow during the summer and especially when heading to a festival as everything just looks better with a tan doesn’t it?! Personally I am a huge fan of the
