My Beautiful Religion.
You will be really proud of me. I was filling in a few routine medical forms the other day and when it came to filling in the section asking my religion, I instinctively wrote: Everyone should wear makeup! Cheeky, I know. I couldn’t help myself. You’ll be doubly chuffed as I didn’t even cross it out and write something more traditional. I left it! I felt strangely liberated, truth be known.
A while later, I went on to think about my gorgeous newly declared religion and what it meant to me. I mean, why is wearing makeup so important? I suppose if I had to sum it up in as few sentences as possible (For starters, that would be darn near impossible for me, as we all know…but I’d try…), I would have to say that wearing makeup, having radiant, evenly pigmented skin that reflects exuberance, groomed brows that dress the eyes that are the windows of the authentic soul and encapsulate the sparkle, excitement and joy felt for life, lips that showcase the brilliant smiles and heartfelt laughter that we love, gracefully showing the flush of cheek that only comes from the flame of one’s inner beauty and passion are all just the beginning of why. Makeup worn well can infinitely assist one in feeling beautifully confident, full of vitality and wondrously self-expressed and that would most certainly, be amongst my defining reasons. I am also allured to the magic that happens when an individual is in their divine state of feeling beautiful, self-assured, spirited, and joyous. This incredible magic happens only when ones inner beauty is allowed to make its rightful journey outward. With this magic, you get the most creative, inspired, far-reaching, and amazingly beautiful ripple effect! I love that!

A Little Dab Will Do Ya!
A little dab of colour that is… For today, why not sneak in a gorgeous bit of colour into your makeup FOTD (face of the day). I’m thinking a little something on the lines of a gorgeous hint of shimmering couverture tight lined along your lower lashes, or an emerald, copper or aubergine perhaps? Even a touch of graphite, violet or deep teal smudged gleefully into your lashline would be beyond divine. Just a hint of colour added to your eyes will make your eyes pop (in the nicest, most lady-like way of course)! Here are a few of the many eyeliner possibilities to assist in graciously emboldening you to make your fabulous foray into the bright side. The options are endless and endlessly beautiful:
Clinique Kohl Shaper For Eyes in Blackened teal
Bobbi Brown Long Wearing Gel Eyeliner in Graphite Shimmer Ink
M.A.C. Eye Kohl in Prunella
i.d bareMinerals Liner Shadow in Green Tea
NARS Eyeliner in Kitty
INIKA Mineral Eye Liner in Chocolate
Stila Smudge Pot in Copper
NYX Eyeliner in Sapphire
CLARINS Kohl Powder Eye Liner in Tropical Violet
Go on, give it a go… you’ll adore it, that I’m sure of. Enjoy!
A Secret Weapon For The Serial Straightener.
Hi, I’m BM! and I’m a Serial Straightener. Naughty, I know, but like all serial straighteners, I just can’t help myself. But, but, but…I do use protection though. Lucky for me and my tresses there are a few fabbo serums about to assist me in the practice of safe straightening. My locks have been loving me long time thanks to FRIZZ-EASE Hair Serum Thermal Protection Formula from the John Frieda Collection. This silk protein, phytantriol and vitamin E enriched serum leaves my hair soft, glossy and healthy looking all the while protecting my hair from heat and UV damage and sealing out the dreaded frizz. This secret weapon may, indeed, be the serial straighteners best friend.

Tortured Tootsies? Tell Ms. Necessity All About It.
Poor loves. Are your feet feeling “a lot” worse for wear? Long day? Never mind. A good old fashioned foot soak of Epsom Salts and a few drops of quality peppermint essential oil ought to bring your feet back into fine form in a flash. A wonderfully warm foot bath followed by a firm massage of your arches, heels, and several bounces up and down on the balls of your feet and toes are sure to re-invigorate your formally fagged out feet in no time flat. Ahhhh….
Thanks, Ms. Necessity! xo
