What we REALLY want from our make up

WHAT WE REALLY WANT FROM MAKE UP - SIMPLE, NATURAL BEAUTY!!

Angel Face have now recognised, over the 4 years of product development and market research as well as feedback from all their lovely customers, that us every day women feel bombarded with choice and intimidated in make up with high end prices and the media as well as scared of how it might look on them and not being able to use it correctly!!!

As busy mums and working long hours we want something that is simple to apply, cost efficient, looks natural, feels light and comfortable to wear and that is beneficial to the skin with great coverage and lasting power SO they have developed their products and a tailored make up lesson system to be able to cover all of these needs :) !!!

 They already have a great simple natural mineral make up range that is now available along with the tailored lessons carried out by trained staff at Levick Kutz Redruth and Nevaeh Spa Beauty Charlestown, The Powder Room, Bude and through various independent consultants in Cornwall and it is soon to be at The Attic Tanning & Beauty Wadebridge too. Then once they launch their new added product range later in the year it will then start to be available in other Salons and Retail Outlets in not only the Country but the World.

You can also visit their website shop www.angelfaceonline.co.uk where they can post to anywhere in the World and they also have 'how to' videos and a face book page to help and support. From their website shop they currently have committed customers from France, Spain, Germany, Russia, Poland, Australia, America, Italy, Greece as well as many parts of this Country….I think this says it all as to how amazing their products really are!! :)

Kerraz Kandi Tree Review

A few weeks ago I won a mini Candy Tree from Kerraz Kandi Trees.
I received my tree last weekend and I was very impressed. I even got my camera out to take a few snaps.

They are such a great idea and the mini/small trees are perfect as gifts for birthday or Christmas. The medium and large trees are great as a centre for a party or wedding.

There is a huge range of choice when it comes to the sweets you can have and each type gives a different look. Ferrero Rocher is available and give a great sense of elegance or for weddings maltesers or marshmallow trees look stunning.

My son defiantly enjoyed the jelly sweet one though :)

It was such a huge success that I have ordered two for Christmas

One mint Areo one with after eights in the bucket and one made from Elezabeth Shaw mint crisps which i think will look amazing with their gold wrappers on our table as our after dinner mints. Such a unique touch that really adds that something extra to the festive season.

Here is a picture of the Aero Mint tree

To say that I'm looking forward to them is an understatement.

Kerraz Kandi are also approved by Made in Cornwall

Rainy Cornwall

So after a complete wash out of a summer, we are in autumn.
The weather so far is wet and foggy surprise surprise.

But that doesnt mean that there are not things to see and do in cornwall or that the beauty is lessened.
The amazing auburn, gold and brown colours appear and the leaves vacate the trees and we have abundant opportunitys for lovely woodland walks and amazing chances to get the camera out and take some pictures.

Why not wrap the children up nice and warm and go for a walk at Kennal Vale? Its a beautiful wooded area in ponsanooth and was orginally the old gun powder works. The trees provided the shade and held in the moisture that was needed to help maintain the gun powder and reduce the chances of explosions.
There is an amazing quary and a raging river running through and is a good chance to collect leaves and twigs that you can then make a picture from when returning home.

Or if the weather really is too bad why not take a trip to one to eleven in Helston next to flambards. Its a fairly new in door play area (soft play) and caters from extremely young children through to 11/12 year olds. They can run around and play while you have a seat and watch them with a nice hot chocolate/tea or coffee in hand.

Make the most of every season as each holds its own special beauty.

1st Birthday cake/ Hungry Caterpiller

So my daughter will be 1 next march and yes I know it is miles away but I get excited about the thought of making her first cake.

 

Trying to think up some ideas has made me think about the effort I went too for my sons first birthday cake which was really one of the first proper cakes I have ever made and as the title of this blog suggests it was based on the hungry Caterpillar.

 

I even did a trial run before hand which was a really good idea as it changed a lot of my design for the finished product by showing me what did and did not work,

 

Firstly I used a bunt tin for the body

I Cut this in half and then I cut one of those half's into half giving me 3 pieces, I turned the two smaller pieces around and popped them on to either end to create the body.

I then used a standard sponge tin which I cut the head shape from.

 

I warmed a little strawberry jam and covered all the sponge to make a kind of glue to help hold the icing in place.

 

Now in my trial run I used white icing and tried to paint the colours on but this just didn't work, the colours looked weak and washed out and didn't give me the result I wanted.

 

So here I cheated a bit by using pre coloured ready to roll icing from the Craft Company

http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/ingredients/ready-to-roll-icing.html

The delivery was amazingly fast which was great as I was now cutting it close for time

I bought two different shades of green for the body, Red for the head and yellow and black for the eyes and detailing.

 

 

It was defiantly the best decision as the colours were so bold and the cake looked amazing.

I cut the greens in to triangles and alternated them down the body. Covered the head in the red icing and and rolled the black out to make antenna, eyes and feet.

Finishing it all off on a white board which i stuck different coloured smarties to the bottom of to make the base and to be in keeping with the theme.

 

Here is the finished result

 

 

 

I think i now have a lot to live up too for my daughters 1st birthday and will defiantly be using the craft company to help me to sneakily cut some corners and give me ideas.

Here is a picture of my little boy, with the help of his friend blowing out his candle.

Lipo wrap inch loss Product Review

So I know that this is a subject at the fore front of most women's minds so though I would make this next post on some products that I have found that can help shift some stubborn weight.

I know personally after having a child that your body changes so much and some times no matter how hard you try those last few Lbs/ Inches can be very stubborn to shift.

I have found some amazing products that not only help you to achieve this but also help tone skin and reduce the appearance of those pesky stretch marks.

So here is the science behind the Wraps

The Lipo wraps work within our bodies we all have interstitial spaces (also called extravascular compartment or tissue space) where toxins and fats gather, an interstitial space is an empty space or gap between cells. Groups of interstitial spaces are commonly referred to as fat cells. Over a period of time these fill with toxins and fats. We add to these depending on our lifestyle. People who smoke or drink alcohol, eat fatty foods will, on the whole, have more toxins and notice that certain areas are harder to lose, e.g. thighs or buttocks, and however much they diet, their body refuses to alter its shape or size. The Lipo fluid penetrates the outer membrane & stimulates circulation around these areas breaking down the toxins and fats which then drain through the lymphatic system, leaving the interstitial space empty or at least smaller, the sculpting wraps compress the layers back together so they do not refill, this is where the inch loss comes from.Initially your body will create new spaces or refill existing ones quite quickly because it is used to doing so. Depending on your lifestyle, it will take a longer & longer before these spaces reappear between wraps. Once you have reached your target dress size, it is a good idea to use the wrap from time to time to maintain your new shape and avoid those extra inches returning.The reason that we do not claim weight loss is because there is very little actual weight removed, the main success that is achieved is reducing mass.Some people will have more success than others because it depends on how deep the ‘space’ is located as to how effective the fluid will be at penetrating to the required level. It also depends if there is some muscle mass to compress against.Like all things.

34 week Bump and the products im using on it

                                        My 34 Weeks Bump and the products I'm using on it

Well as you can see now my bump is getting to be quite some size, I'm sure every pregnant women out there has concerns over their ever expanding stomachs and boobs and the effect it will have on their skin.

now we all know about Palmer's tummy butter and Bio oil but what if you fancy trying something different, maybe going down the more natural organic root after all this is a beautiful time for any mother so why not use the very best/sourced products you can get and at the same time supporting a lovely Cornish company where the products are made.

Pure Organics is a Cornish company who hand make their products. They are not tested on animals and their ingredients are locally sourced where possible. They contain no harsh ingredients so are suitable for most skin types even the most sensitive.

Rose Hip Belly Butter
30 ml £3.25 60ml £6.50

This wonderful oil contains rosehip which is great for regeneration and can help prevent stretch marks.

With a lovely light scent this belly butter is creamy and a little defiantly goes a long way. It has an oily consistency that the skin soaks up quickly but it also leaves a slight feel of it on the skin (I personally prefer this as you know that through out the day your are protected rather than your body just evaporating it in with no signs of application) My skin feels softer to the touch like a new born baby's bottom and I'm left smelling lovely and girly for the rest of the day.

I have also been applying it to my breasts which are increasing in size almost as quickly as my stomach.

I personally think you are either prone to getting stretch marks or you are not but that doesn't mean you cant try and help the situation as obviously the more subtle the skin the more it is going to give and this product defiantly provides that subtleness and at such a fantastic price too.

I have also been using their face cream on my awful dry skin or should I say what was my dry skin

Face Cream30ml £3.00 60ml £6.00

a light fresh day cream enriched by the rejuvenating properties of avocado oil which is rich in vitamins A -B1-B2-D with essential oil of sweet orange.

The smell of this is amazing and again it has a lovely creamy consistency and a little goes a long way. I was suffering from a very dry T section before due to my pregnancy hormones but since using this lovely pot of goodness I no longer have a problem and I finally have that pregnancy glow that I hear people talking about. Of course it is brilliant for those who are not pregnant also and it doesn't leave your face feeling greasy like some creams do.

pure Organics have a massive range of products to cover you from head to toe and all at brilliant prices so gone are the days of paying through the nose for good quality organic products.

Their website is also a delight to navigate and they have some great gift sets for the loved ones in your life perfect for valentines day as they also have a men's section.
