Ariel, The Little Mermaid, meets the 1950’s
Character makeup looks Ariel meets the 1950’s in this weeks look. This look was inspired by an Instagram challenge called #colormehalloween. One of the themes was Disney Decades. Therefore I created a look for Ariel, from the Little Mermaid, with a 1950’s twist. The Look The look started with this skirt from the vintage style brand Lindy Bop featuring mermaids in a ‘pin up’ style.

A review of Barry M Cosmetics Fixing and Setting Spray
A Barry M setting spray can be a great drugstore purchase to add to your makeup routine. But with so many to choose from how will you know which to get? Why use a setting spray? I used to be quite against make-up fixing sprays as their main ingredient is water and most used to cost a ridiculous price. However these three from Barry M-an ethical brand with vegan products-have a great price point and work perfectly. I actually really love and recommend these setting sprays! Obviously a setting spray can not change the quality of the makeup or makeup application but they can help it to last longer and,…
