Welcome friends, I am excited to be here.

This blog has come about after many years spent thinking about all things makeup and many hours trawling the web for tips and inspiration. I love reading blogs and looking at pretty pictures, however a lot of the time I feel frustrated that I don't fit the mould (or age bracket) of most beauty bloggers out there.

I am a mother and a makeup artist. I don't have more than 5 uninterrupted minutes in the morning to make myself presentable. I need quick and simple products that deliver and that are very easy to apply. I want to leave the house feeling good about myself whether i'm off to a makeup job or just running errands.

I spend a lot of time (and money) on trying out different products to achieve natural looks and I am eager to share my thoughts with you.

These are the products which are on high-rotation on my makeup table right now.
