My Bathroom Cabinet : Essentials

I decided it was time to share my "beauty geek" essentials with you all. Products I have tried and tested and love for various reasons. Through my reviews, you may like the sound of them and perhaps try something you wouldn't have done previously? Or share my views or even disagree? I will be marking all my reviews with my "Beauty Geek" point score out of 10. 10 being highest, 1 being lowest.

First up; Nip & Fab Pistachio Sundae Dry Skin Fix Body Butter 200ml £9.95

I do suffer from dry skin and I am your typical nice weather moisturizer on my body...basically if the weather is warm, I moisturize but if its cold, I moisturize the parts that I can see! The main thing I love about this cream is it smells delicious and looks amazing. It is a body butter but isn't overly greasy. It soaks in quickly, so is ideal in the mornings when you are in a rush to get dressed and go. The cost is really reasonable too for the size of the tub. Brilliant for holidays and as a body pick me up. This product is on offer right now at 50% off so what are you waiting for....get shopping! I would give this one a "Beauty Geek" 7 out of 10

Next up ; (SBC) Simply Beautiful Collection Collagen Gel 125ml £11.00

This has been a long term favorite of mine. Not only because of its beautiful pink colour. But it has so many multiple uses. Its a great one for all the family too. Although its a gel it is a moisturizer, and is so cooling on the skin. It soaks in really quickly without a sticky residue. You do think when you first apply this that its never going to soak in...but trust me it really does. Its a perfect make up primer. Applied in a thicker layer makes a great deep conditioning facial mask as a pick me up. Brilliant to use right near the eyes because its a gel and therefore light enough for the eye area and the lips. Can be used on the backs of the hands or indeed anywhere on the body. Whats so amazing is its collagen, so a brilliant anti-ageing product for him and her (or just you, don't share, keep it as your little secret). Such a reasonable price for a versatile product.
This is such a universal product and a great one for your hand bag anytime, any-day anywhere. No real over powering fragrance either. Perfect for all ages too. I would rate this one a "Beauty Geek" 9 out 10

As always, let me know your thoughts on these products if you have tried them and what you like or disliked about them.

Till next time......

Love & Sparkle

Fake Tanning: Manual V Spray

Firstly, just to clarify the differences between the two types of fake tanning. Manual tanning is applied directly onto and into the skin that has been prepared usually in a cream or lotion format and then is allowed to develop.Spray tan is applied using a compressor type air gun and is applied in a very fine mist in a liquid format and sits onto the skin until it soaks in and then develops. Manual tanning has made a big come from in recent times. Whilst previously it was all about spray tanning treatments for numerous reasons: quickness of the treatment, even application and less product generally used. But with clients wanting to come to the salon, or treatment area and enjoy a full treatment that involves them giving up an hour or so of their time. This has really helped the manual tan application see a big come back hit! From my experience of learning many moons ago the application of manual tanning before spray tan was even out there....I know myself, I wasn't too kee

Faceframe 3D Eyebrows: taking the beauty industry by storm!

Having done a lot of extensive research about brow extensions over the past few months. I came across this brand FaceFrame3D. What excited me the most was that they have won an invention award for the concept of this brow treatment. Plus it's a UK designed product. If, like me, you like to go for new treatments to add to your salon menus. This is definitely going to blow you and your clients away. I watched a couple of the YouTube videos and was hooked! I did look around at other brands and designs. But it kept coming right back to this company. The training is all fully accredited with BABTAC and therefore recognised within the industry. It's not the cheapest out there. But then I am not always sure that cheapest is best. You do definitely get what you pay for in this world. What is Faceframe3D? It is a simple concept of applying synthetic individual hairs that are adhered to the skin to create a 3-dimensional eyebrow can last up to 2 weeks depending on the afterca

Failing to prepare, is to preparing to fail: GCSE VTCT Ten Recommendations

I wanted to put together a guidance list of the ten points that I have learnt along my journey teaching this GCSE qualification in order to help support, guide and assist anyone who is about to start teaching this qualification, considering teaching it, or is currently teaching it and needing some additional guidance from someone who has hands on experience. These are my own personal points and by no means set in stone. So please use them as they were intended to be, as a help list. PREPARE: Now I know this might sound a bit of an obvious point as teachers and educators we are always having to think two steps ahead. But by this I mean have your unit scenarios printed for each learner. Have spaces up on your displays so they can collect them if they have lost theirs (students do love to forget things). Have grade descriptors for the unit printed and if they have them glue them into their books so you can mark as you go along and the students know instantly what grade they are
