Peacock inspired MAKEUP on me

This is the work of the lovely Liz Griffiths (www.lizgriffiths.co.uk)

She is a very talented makeup artist

(I am very picky about who can do my makeup so it shows how trusted she is!)

We decided she would create a peacock look on me (inspired by Shu Uemura's latest pigments)

The sheen is absolutely stunning and

the eyes are particurlarly a work of art.

Roses

I've always loved the scent of roses

Rose gardens fresh after the dew

A sense of freshness but softness

Elegance but not snobbery

Natural and beautiful.

So here are my favourite rose products



Jurlique rosewater, By Terry Rose cleanser, Paul Smith Rose,
Dr Hauschka rose day cream
By Terry Baume de Rose, By Terry Creme de Rose,
 By Terry Gelee de Rose, By Terry Laque de Rose



Jurlique Rosewater -

 Beautiful soft scent, such a refreshing mist

(lovely when you feel all grimy or humid)

By Terry Douceur de Rose cleanser -

 very gentle cleanser but removes dirt to leaves face feeling so clean like nothing else

(plus your face smells lovely)

Paul Smith Rose edt -

does not give headaches, not over-powering

 (as too many are)

Clean rose scent that gives a natural aroma

Dr Hauschka rose day cream -

sooo calming (for heat/redness on face)

not the most moisturising but a good day cream/light night cream

By Terry Baume de Rose -

like a balmy dream, like silk....its so beautiful!

(a gloss, a balm...there is another post just for this!)

By Terry Creme de Rose -

a rich opaque cream (pale rose colour) but massages in clear

So luxury, skin feels really supple!

By Terry Gelee de Rose -

thinner and cooler than the creme

light but moisturising

By Terry Laque de Rose -

the least sticky lipgloss I've ever met,  no residue

also a lip treatment, tasts like soft rose, feel like a movie star etc...

If you love roses, you will love these

There is nothing synthetic smelling about any of the above..thats why I love them.

They transport you to a beautiful rose garden like a fresh breeze.
