Essential Makeup Brushes

by thelifestylelady

Howdy Y’all,

Today I share with you a video request from one of my dear friends. I love getting requests and this was such a great idea.  Makeup brushes/tools can be daunting, there are SO many, which do I need?  One thing I will tell you is that the right tools used in the correct way can totally transform how makeup applies, stays and looks. I have never owned a vast number of makeup brushes, mainly because I have researched and invested in what I have needed. I take care of them and with proper love they do last, some of my brushes are nearly twenty years old. Are there brushes I need to try that you adore? Do you have any requests on things you would like me to post about? If so please get in touch I really love to hear from y’all.

Ta Ta for now,

Sephora Favorites Superstar Review

by thelifestylelady

Howdy Y’all,

Firstly I hope you are enjoying the magic of the season and have had a wonderful Christmas. After Christmas is the start of the sale season and lots of great deals are to be had, during the Sephora VIB Rouge sale I purchased the Sephora Favorites Superstar pack, I wanted to review what Sephora consider to be favorites and workhorses in the cosmetics world. I thought this might be useful to y’all if you were interested in any of the items individually or if you wanted to purchase the pack. I will tell you that many of the items I was not that familiar with but have been using thoroughly throughout the festive season and I have found one of two LL loves in the process, in particular the Clinique highlighter and the Tarte bronzer. So sit back pour a drink and enjoy. I will update you with what I have been up to recently very soon.

Ta Ta for now.

Sephora Play Review! October 2016

by thelifestylelady

Howdy Y’all,

Happy Monday. We are recovering from an short trip to Dallas for a toddler birthday party, it seems so shocking that we are celebrating our babies now turning three, where does time go? It was the first time I had been back since the move and it was bittersweet, on the one hand I feel so much has happened in the four months since we left and on the other it was like we had never left and could slip back into the routine we loved so much. When you move and are faced with starting anew it really makes you appreciate and value the friendships you made, especially in Dallas where I made friends with mum’s who were all having their first babies around the same time. I do think it is so fortunate that (where we can) we return to the celebrations and blessings of my friends. Little L had a wonderful time.

If you have been a friend of this blog for a little while you will know that Little L had bought me a subscription to Birchbox. Its expiration coincided with our move and I meant to renew, something in the back of my mind had encouraged me to see what other beauty subscription boxes there where out there. I was reading through a friends InStyle magazine and I came across Sephora Play! I had no idea that Sephora had branched out into its own monthly subscription service and I did not have to think twice. Honestly I joined the waitlist,  (I am not sure if it is genuinely that or a PR tactic, either way it works.)   So you can imagine my delight when I returned on Saturday and found this black and white box on my doorstep. Well here is my first review. Enjoy.

Have a great week.

Adult Summer Faves

by thelifestylelady

 

Howdy Y’all,

Welcome to Monday. Trust your weekend was relaxed, restful and fun. Ours was just that, unfortunately they go too fast. On Saturday we went to a Taste of event in our village, it was small but effective as I got to see the local vendors. I found a dry cleaner who will collect and deliver from my home (win win.) Little L found a local cupcake shop which was delicious (not such great news long term -lol) What was interesting was Walgreens were represented (a drugstore to non US readers) by Boots (a U.K. drugstore.) They were foundation matching with a machine and giving samples away, being a beauty junkie I was happy to act as volunteer and honestly I was so surprised how accurate the machine was in selecting the correct tone for my skin. I gave a mini review of the product on Instastories and Snapchat. My names are @thelifestylelady and @lifestylelady respectively, if you want a giggle give me a follow.

Saturday night saw date night, firstly we braved that wild jungle called Toys R Us, we were looking for Little L’s impending third birthday (I am in complete denial.) We then recovered by watching Girl on the Train, Emily Blunt was superb but I preferred the book. We followed such darkness with Tapas and good red wine which was yummy. Today has been more relaxed as I was feeling a little under the weather.

So in Texas we are still in full summer mode, I dream of scarves, fleece and hot chocolate but today I share with you my adult summer faves. These are things I have loved, used and repurchased. Many of the things are not entirely summer specific, so please enjoy.

Have a good week.

Ta Ta for now.

Products Empties – Repurchase or not?

by thelifestylelady

 

 

Howdy Y’all,

Congratulations you have made it through another week! We have a nice weekend planned here is Casa Lifestyle, meeting and catching up with old friends. I ripped the pull – ups band aid off Little L yesterday and I am pleased to report so far so good. (Not sure how school will go today!) I ordered my 2017 diary this week, which is crazy, the end of the year is approaching quickly, which is reinforced by the shops already carrying items for Christmas! I am the first to enjoy holiday spirit but only after Thanksgiving. I am trying to get more into the spirit of Fall/Autumn, there are some yummy candle smell entering stores and Little L and I went to purchase a few extra items to decorate our home a little. If you have not been following the blog for long you may have missed last years post on Outdoor Decoration since then we have moved and have a larger space to decorate, so Little L and I have been purchasing and will post about  it in due course. It is difficult to decorate when it is high nineties outside.

Today’s video is about products I have used till empty. Some of them a fantastic others not so much. So please enjoy! If you are watching on You Tube please subscribe.

Have a fab weekend

Ta Ta for now.

Howdy Y’all,

Long time no speak, sorry I have been out of action, but life has been action packed offline this summer. I did think this would be the case,  I don’t want you to think that the blog and you the reader are not important to me, YOU ARE. Actually some of the sadder events this summer have made me realize how important the blog is to me. It is a  creative outlet for me to share myself in another capacity other than wife and mother. It is safe to say that July was my mense horrendam. Just one sad or tough thing after another.  I am not one to let things get me down but sometimes you just get beat.

August was brighter and I was particularly enjoying spending the last quiet weeks with Little L before she started pre-school. So I find myself for the first time in three years with a little more time on my hands and plenty of dreams. One thing I know is that a mum can be very efficient with  limited time without their child, you would be amazed what we can achieve, but I have to be realistic that the dreams probably outweigh the few hours of freedom I find myself with. I do hope to channel some of this freedom in the blogs direction.

If you are familiar with The Lifestyle Lady you will notice some minor changes. The first is a new email subscription request, this will enable you to be notified when new blog posts arrive or I update the blog and also you will receive my newsletter which will contain exclusive content not seen on the blog, (WOW.) I have also been playing with the layout, I’m not totally happy yet so this maybe subject to change once again (but that is a women’s perogative right?!) Finally I list all the ways you can contact and follow me on social media.
