In particular Hair Chalk from The Body Shop.
Now I'm not a beauty blogger, far from it. If you knew me 16 years ago you'd be surprised how times change. 16 years ago I was a beauty consultant working on the make up and perfume counters in a large chain store, I completed my training and, when I went to uni, moved to a smaller branch as their "expert" in this field. I loved it, I ordered the make up, the stands were MY babies, I made sure they were tidy and full of testers. I enjoyed the buzz of assisting customers select colours that matched their skin tones or advising men on February 13th of the nicest perfume for their partner.
I went to work everyday with a full face of make up (you had to) and owned pretty much every colour nail varnish you can imagine.
Then 5 years Ben was born and my make up case was consigned to live under the bed. There wasn't time in the mornings to make up my face, I no longer had a social life so there was no need to 'tart myself up' for a night out. I can count on one hand the amount of times my lashes have seen any mascara since 1998.
So last year, when we moved house, I figured it was time to bin the stash. I treated myself to a lovely new mascara, eye shadow, lipstick and nail varnish and they eventually got their first outing on Saturday to the Midlands Blogger Meet. I was glad they did as I felt severely underdressed for the occasion and at least resembled a human being with the confidence boost make up gives me.
Anyways I digress ..... the reason for this post all comes from the delightful Sophie and Autumn from The Body Shop who paid us a visit on Saturday with some of their products.... me and the boys were very taken in by the Hair Chalk and had to go home via The Body Shop to purchase one of each colour.
