The Truth About Moroccan Oil... And Why You Should Be Wary

The Truth About Moroccan Oil… And Why You Should Be Wary

Now before you read on, I need you to understand I’m talking about Moroccan Oil and not Argan Oil. Yes they both come from Morocco, which makes things extremely confusemundo, but there is a difference between the two. And here comes the boring bit… Argan Oil comes straight from the Argan tree in Morocco, put into a bottle and that’s it. Finite. Done. There’s nothing else stuffed into the bottle,…

My Second Week at AOFM – Review |The Cupid Bow

Well if I was tired in the first week, I was an absolute walking zombie in the second week. Jeeeeez. I’m loving this course but I’m gunna have to invest in a year’s supply of Pro Plus soon. After a great first week at AOFM in which I learnt so much my brain basically exploded, I was unsure how the second week was going to top it and what the Academy had in store for us. Week one saw us learning…

Bootea 14 Day Teatox Review | The Cupid Bow

Bootea 14 Day Teatox Review | The Cupid Bow

Who here has has ever put themselves on a liquid diet in order to lose weight? And no I’m not talking about the one where you drink so much wine you end up throwing up half your body mass. “Eating’s cheating” is not something I would ever condone! No I’m talking about things like the Cambridge diet, or the cabbage soup diet. Basically something that doesn’t involve eating… and how far did that…

Lush Mask Of Magnaminty Review | The Cupid Bow

Lush Mask Of Magnaminty Review | The Cupid Bow #bbloggers

I’m in a Lushcoma right about now. Mmmm. Actually that should be Mmmmmmask Of Magnaminty. For a while now I’ve been on the hunt for the face mask of my dreams. One that will revitalise my face. Rid my pores of impurities. Maybe exfoliate at the same time? Possibly do the laundry? OK so I may have been a bit optimistic with the last point so willing to let that one slide, but the rest are crucial.…

FOTD – Purple and Black Eyeshadow and Peach Lips | The Cupid Bow

Purple rain… Purrrrppllleeee rain… I cannot get this song out of my head for the life of me since creating this purple creation last night. I’ve fallen into a brown/nude/black eyeshadow rut recently so decided to let colour puke on my face this week! I can’t remember the last time I wore purple eyeshadow… That is actually worn it properly and not ending up looking like I’d been given a black eye.…

Pro Hygiene Makeup Brush Cleaner and Hand Sanitising Gel Review | The Cupid Bow

Pro Hygiene Makeup Cleaner and Hand Sanitising Gel Review | The Cupid Bow #bbloggers

I would rather stick hot pins in my eyes than clean my makeup brushes. Ohhhhh god it’s the BANE of my life. It would be ok if I only had the two or three that I use on a daily basis, but when you’re training as a makeup artist and have 50 going on 60 brushes… Feel my pain! But without clean brushes you can’t get a flawless makeup application. Well you wouldn’t wash your face with a dirty cloth…

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer Review | The Cupid Bow

I am literally IN LOVE with Rimmel at the moment. Rimmel you are KILLLLLING it!

The drugstore brand really can do no wrong in my eyes at the moment and my lastest Rimmel fetish is…

Just kidding… And no that is not my no makeup selfie before any of you ask! As we are now coming into Spring in the UK we can now (hopefully) kiss (or kick) our dull, grey skin complexions goodbye and say hello to healthier, glowing new skin. With any luck the current sunny UK weather will be sticking…

Win a 30 day course of Skinade! | The Cupid Bow #bbloggers

The things us girls do to look like supermodels! Faddy diets (that normally don’t include actual food so result in excessive binging), spending a small fortune on expensive skincare products/treatments and don’t even start me on the gruelling exercise regimes! Why can’t those love handles just work themselves? WHY?! Well luckily for you I may have found an effective (and tasty) way to get glowing…

FOTD - Cat Eyeliner and Overdrawn Red Lips

http://wp.me/p43R2J-uf

Winged liner? Check. MASSIVE lashes? Check. Overdrawn, voluptuous lips? Check. Check. Check. I went ALL out with the face this weekend ladies and gentlemen. In a big way. Every way possible in fact. And I blame Cara Delevigne. After my 4 mile run on Saturday afternoon (just gunna drop that in there shamelessly) I was chillaxing with the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar and came across the most…
