Tea, Beauty And Turning 40

As I mentioned before, I created StyleI to encourage girls (and boys) of all ages to have fun with makeup and step out of their comfort zones. This evening (17:09:17) I decided to do my makeup in the style of Emma Watson. These pictures will also be going on my separate Instagram STYLEI00. This is the picture I referenced: Granted, I changed the lips up but you don't have to if you're not comfortable with dark lips. I like this look because its very fresh. Emma is beautiful and is actually my one biggest inspiration and idol which is why I decided to do one of her looks first. Obviously I don't have beautiful freckles (which is okay and please don't feel like you have to put them on with a brow pencil or something like all the beauty bloggers are doing nowadays!) or full brows like she does but I worked with what I have.  Here is how I did it: To start of, I used three of my staple skin products.

As I've not been using makeup and skincare for long, I am trying out a fair few products at the moment. Some are mine, some are samples, and some even belong to Shannon! I did my skincare and makeup yesterday (09.09.17), and thought I'd show you a before and after picture. I also thought I'd tell you what products I'd used. So here goes:- I used REN Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Water ( http://bit.ly/2vYgi5b ), to cleanse my entire face. I received this in my recent subscription to My Little Box.

I applied bareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion Serum ( http://bit.ly/2wRsF2R ), then Estee Lauder Revitalising Supreme Eye Balm ( http://amzn.to/2xoZOTZ ).

My Brushes | Shannon I have always been told that applying makeup with brushes makes it look so much better and so that's what I've always done. However, recently in August it was my birthday (I may have already mentioned this haha) and so I decided to treat myself to some nicer ones. It makes me laugh thinking about the conversations I had with my mum's boyfriend in which he stared in disbelief and said (and I quote) "Why on earth do you need that many?!" Let's just say he's not 'into it' as much as mum and I are.  When searching for makeup items or brushes (especially online) I always read reviews to help me decide and I found a very reasonably priced set with great reviews from Spectrum Collections. This is what they look like: Spectrum Collections 'Attention Seeker' Essential Set. I absolutely love these brushes! You get 10 and they're amazingly soft and there is a good range.
