New Look, New Hair!

This was taken I think about a month or so ago. My hair colour was previously a deep violet which I really liked during the Wintry months ( it still is quite wintry!). Although I really missed my red hair, so I took the plunge and dyed it. I actually recently re-dyed it as the original Garnier Olia dye I used initially faded out quite quickly. I used Garnier Nutrisse and I absolutely LOVE the colour now!

With it being Winter/Spring, I decided I wanted to refresh my makeup so I experimented with a few products and came up with this look that I sported for a few weeks. I used my usual Laura Mercier Primer and Tinted Moisturer, MAC Concealer and LM Secret Concealer as a base. I then used LM Illuminating Quad in Coral Red as a blush with Sue Moxley Baked Highlighter in Miami on top. I kept my eyes simple with Shu Uemura Painting Liner in Black on the top and Barry M on the bottom. I coated my lashes with MUFE Smoky Lash Mascara. On my lips I put a slick of Loreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Magnetic Coral. I have really enjoyed wearing this 'Spring Makeup Look' and some of my colleagues at work even commented on how 'refreshed' my look was after the holidays which was nice. I think it really compliments my hair colour too.

(Although, I have now changed my make up will update on that very soon!)

Hola!

I can not believe how long it has been since I last blogged. I have been so busy with teaching but as of lately I have missed updating my blog quite a bit! Every time I sit down and log onto Blogger, something crops up and updating my blog is pushed aside...well not this evening!

Yes, I have been crazily busy with teaching, as mentioned in one of my previous posts I am in my first year of teaching so everything has to be perfect ( well by my expectations!) I got caught up in assessments and paperwork and then I was ill over the Xmas holidays. I also went to visit family in the USA over Xmas which was lovely. Since then, the cycle of work continues. I have one term left before I am put forward to pass my induction year - hopefully!

I started up a bellydance course in February to enable me to have one day to chill out from work which was quite nice. I really enjoy bellydancing..it really is a outlet to release any stress and just chill out for that evening. The next course is a fan veil course and whilst I really wanted to sign up I thought that I probably would not ever use a fan veil so decided against. I will have to resort to practising in my room :)

I did a whole lot of make up hauling in the USA ( I heart Sephora!) so I havent actually bought much here as of lately, just a few 're-purchases'. Although walking past the Laura Mercier the other day, I saw some beautiful shadow sticks and opaque cream eye liners in such pretty colours.

I have been really into painting my nails for the past 1-2 months and as a result have bought quite a few nail polishes. I have also bought a few new pieces of jewellery which I shall blog about soon.

On the whole, work is going well. I am enjoying teaching my little ones so much (minus the paperwork) and I have recently implemented a new healthy eating and workout routine which I am hoping I stick to!

I will be posting a makeup specific post shortly and I will really try to update this blog as often as I can.
