Traditional bride with a modern twist

Meet Kulvir

Now I would be lying if I say I wasnt super excited about Kulvir's bridal look. Not only because she is gorgeous so it makes my job a lot easier but because she is a fellow Virk (no blood relation) . All Virks get so excited when they meet another as the surname is very rare. 
I can't believe only couple of years ago I was getting her big sister ready for her big day and now Kuli. 


The Brief
The problem she has always had is finding the right foundation. Didn't matter what she wore Kuli would always have a reaction . So I decided to use my Pro Bobbi Brown palette foudation. I do love this palette as I can sheer the cream foudation down well without losing the flawless finish. 



The Make Up

I love it when a bride says "do what you want- I trust you" . I have the opportunity of showing the bride how we can enhance her features rather than changing them. And it was no different for Kuli. The eyes were mixture of mattes and shimmers from urban decay and illamasqua. Creating a warm bronze smokey eye with a tint of rich purple ( inception by illamasqua ) . The colours were picked to compliment her outfit and jewellery. 
Eyeliner of course was infinity by illamasqua and the signature lip colour is the one and only Sanger (yes by illamasqua again) ;) 


With soft contouring and subtle highlights (using the AOM range) this makeup look is absolutely flawless

The Hairstyle 
Now like most brides I meet they have never a) had their hair up before and b) don't have a clue what they want. One thing that Kuli didn't want was a high bun style and definately wanted something quite low.  So I came up with this style 
 

A beehive with a volumised soft quiff with my signature low flat curl bun  

The best moment was when Kuli finally turned around to see the finished look. She was lost for words. She was shocked (in a good way) to see what she looked like. The words were "oh my god! I can't believe it's me - but it is me at the same time" . Such a great feeling when a bride reacts to your artistry and vision in that way.

I just want to take this opportunity to say congratulations to Kulvir and Trev and I wish them all the best for the future xx

Review : Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge


Hello beautiful people!!!
So I'm still working on how to do my YouTube videos as well as keeping up on my blogs. So at the moment what I'm planning to do is to update you with the YouTube videos that I have created.

This video as you can tell is a review for the real techniques miracle complexion sponge. I was so excited when I heard that Sam Chapman was going to come out with a beauty sponge. I have to admit it was very difficult to get hold of one that I did discover my beauty sponges in Boots (if you are not from the uk it's a drugstore here) 

These beautiful soft orange sponges are amazing to use and so so so easy to clean! 
I hope you enjoy the video and do you let me know if you have any questions about the sponge all you can even tell me how you've got on with the sponge.

Enjoy folks and I'll see you later xxxx







2014 skincare routine using dermalogica

So like every year I decided to have a few New Year's resolutions and this year one of the top things that I am going to change is to keep to a skincare routine. 

I have noticed as I am getting older  my skin is changing - especially after having my little one and starting laser hair removal treatment. During the winter months my skin does become really dry and in recent months I have been breaking out in spots ( something I didn't really experience as a teenager :/) 

I've always wanted to try out the dermalogica skincare range. I have tried some of the tester sachets before but the amount that you receive in it is never enough for you to determine whether iris right for you and wanting to purchase the full size bottles ( which are not cheap!)

So when I received the starter skin care kit for dry for Xmas I was super excited!!  

Inside I received the following:





In all I am really pleased with them and I will be definately purchasing the full size bottles. 

Do let me know if you have used the range and what you think xxx
