Autumnal Wreath Making

As we are all once again in lockdown I have been thinking of autumnal projects to tackle. As many people are deciding to paint everything in their house at the moment I wanted to do something more seasonal. I decided to chance making my own wreath.

For this wreath I used hydrangea flowers but you can use any flowers you like. I purchased a straw wreath base from my local co-op.

For your wreath you will need the following:

Wreath base

Flowers

Elastic bands

Scissors

Flexible wreath wire

Start by measuring out what size flowers and how many flowers you will need to cover the base of your wreath. Then take a flower and place the elastic band through the steam. Wrap the steam around the width of the straw base and pull the elastic band through the stem on the opposite side. Then secure in place with the flexible wire. This is just the way I put my flowers on however there are various ways to secure the flowers in place. Repeat this process all the way around until your wreath is full and there you have your own autumnal wreath!

If I were to make another wreath I would recommend using a wreath base made out of another material as the straw is tough to attach flowers to. One tip I would recommend when cutting your flowers is to leave the stem long so you can wrap it around the wreath easily.

Testing make up brushes from Lidl?!

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Miomare professional cosmetic brush set from Lidl. I was in Lidl last week and saw these. They were only €5 and I thought they would make an interesting blog post. This is an eight piece set that includes a powder brush, a blush brush, an eye shadow brush, a mascara wand, a lip brush, an eyeliner brush, an eye shadow applicator and a brush roll . All the brushes are 100% synthetic. There were a few different colours of the brush rolls but I just got the black faux leather one. I was testing these brushes out over the weekend and I have some mixed feeling about them. My favourite brushes in this set are the powder and the blush blushes. I also really like the mascara wand. However I didn't enjoy the rest of the brushes. The eyeshadow brush did not apply product on my eyelid very well. The eyeshadow applicator, eyeliner and lip brushes weren't very useful for me. I don't usually use these tools when applying my make up anyway

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea
