Beauty Lessons I’ve Learnt From Blogging

One of the things I love the most about blogging, is how much it’s taught me. I never really got into makeup at high school. Instead I got into it when I read other blogs. I like to think that I’ve learnt quite a lot, so I thought why not share with not everybody else?

I’ve also Learnt How to Declutter My Makeup Collection.

This is Beauty Lessons I’ve Learnt From Blogging!

 Bin The Makeup Wipes

I used simple makeup wipes for years, as I thought it was quick and easy, but I wasn’t aware at just how much they were drying out my skin. I have dry skin anyway and the wipes were not helping matters.

High End Isn’t Always Better

I always assumed the more money something cost the better it is, but that is not always the case. You can’t go wrong with the Rimmel Stay Matte which is a bargain at £3.99.

Makeup Brushes Give A Way Better Finish Than You Fingers

Makeup brushes also mean you don’t have to touch your face, so you won’t get any of the germs from your fingers on your face.


Just Be Sure to Wash Those Brushes

Just because you won’t be getting the germs from your hands on your face, it doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods, as germs can build up in your brushes if they aren’t washed. Which you’ve guessed it, will transfer to your face.

Don’t Sleep in Makeup

It’s extremely easy to get into bed with a full face of makeup and quickly fall asleep. Sleeping with your makeup on is a sure way to mess up your skin and wreck your eyelashes, so just be sure to remove it before getting into bed.

Try Out Primers

I never used to use primers, but just recently I’m seeing how much they are helping. Primers really help your foundation to stay put, primers also allow your makeup to go on much easier.

Dry Shampoo

Washing your hair everyday is a huge no-no, so dry shampoo can really help for them in between days when your hair is starting to look a little greasy. Dry shampoo has come an extremely long way, as there are new formulas that are pretty much invisible.

Those are some of the beauty lessons I learnt from beauty blogging!

What have you learnt from blogging?

Thank you for reading!

    Great post, since blogging I've ditched the wipes and stopped washing my hair everyday and it's worked wonders for me!

    I completely agree with so many of these! I absolutely love dry shampoo! Especially for those lazy days when you don't want to wash you hair. Also have to give a shoutout to primer! I love it so much, it stops my face from getting patchy. Great post, glad to hear you've learned this from blogging!

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

I’m surprised we had any mixture left to be honest😂

Water play keeping us sane in the first heatwave🌊

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣

Don’t get me wrong, I had a full makeup bag just to the side, but these were always out😂

From the iconic @soldejaneiro 62, which always reminds me of holiday to my much loved @charlottetilbury palette 😍

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺

5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
