Christmas Shortbread


I know I go on about how poor I am a lot but here's another post about a little money saving idea I've come up with. SHORTBREAD FOR XMAS PRESENTS! genius. You only need three ingredients then simple ribbon and tissue paper to wrap. I decided to decorate mine with icing but that's totally not necessary. So, all you need is butter (125g), flour (180g) and caster sugar (55g) to make these delish little treats.

My Daily Make-up





 
I'm not claiming to be a make-up and beauty expert, trust me! But, I'm learning so much about it and just thought I'd share with you what it is I apply on my face every morning. I used to use make-up to cover up my imperfections as I've never had perfect skin. I've found products now that both cover up my spots (eugh!) and don't feel too heavy on my skin.
Firstly I'll apply my foundation. I use Max Factor 3-in-1 (review here) which I just love! I don't see me buying another foundation for a long time. I've never known how to apply make-up to my eyes and I've gone through fazes of wearing loads of make-up and wearing none at all on my eyes. Now I've got a nice balance in the middle. I wear a tiny flick of liquid eyeliner and a little bit of mascara. For both products I use Rimmel and have been using it since I started wearing make-up. I've never had a problem with it and I find it really easy to apply. One product that I ALWAYS use is Vaseline because dry lips aren't sexy. If I fancy a jazzier look on my lips I'll use Max Factor lipstick in the colour Dusky Rose (sounds old granny-ish but I love it).
So guys, what's your beauty regime?
