Beauty Shopping Basics
Whether you're off on a shopping extravaganza to stock up on skincare, or dashing in for a quick lipstick fix, beauty shopping is an investment of your hard earned cash and your time. To make the most of both its best to have a clear idea of what you want, and that means having a strategy that will make sure you arrive home with the products that suit you and your pocket. The first thing to keep in mind is that the customer is queen - so walk like a goddess, never put up with poor service and never be pressured into buying something you're not 100 per cent convinced of. If in doubt ‘I’ll think about it' is a good line to use. Secondly, be prepared. Make sure you know what type of skin, hair and nails you have before setting out. A hair stylist or manicurist can help give you the facts. List any known sensitivities or allergies and, if you know them, the ingredients that might cause them - that way, you can check labels and eliminate any likely problems. Target your good points so that you can take advantage of them. So if you've got sensual, full lips, for instance, you'll probably want a horde of lipsticks and glosses, to highlight your natural beauty. Know what you want and make a list. You may be shopping for a change of image, a new fragrance or just essential supplies. It’s important to write down the items you need and the ones you want. Set a budget and resist the inducement to make impulse buys, unless you have money to burn and unlimited shelf space. You may find it simpler to focus on shopping for one specific area at a time. Sometimes it’s best to look for just skincare products, hair care items or make-up - otherwise it can all become overpowering. Have a clear idea where you want to shop. Big department stores will typically give you the widest variety, and you can always book in for a free makeover with a company you like the look of. Then again, you might have an excellent small pharmacy/beauty/hair salon or day spa near you. Once you have found a informed, well-trained consultant who doesn't oversell, keep in touch with them. As with a hairdresser, tell them about your lifestyle, finance, beauty habits and the clothes you like so they can help you to look the best you can. Remember to always be honest if you don't like something. And if you can't get out and about to shop, remember you can now get almost anything shipped to your door via catalogues, online and TV shopping. If shopping online you will find a wide range of products at the big names like Boots and Amazon but don’t neglect the smaller online shops such as www. cosmeticdiva. co. uk which will have a lot of brand name cosmetics and perfumes at keen prices.

Yo, Yo, Yo…
Wot up ma’ homies!!! We are back ONLINE! (& I have just been watching a documentry on hip-hop!) I know all those fans of mine out there have been waiting eagerly (HAHAHAHAHA!!!)     It’s been about 2 months since my last post (since we moved!). For the first month I was going nuts without a computer, but now that I’ve got it back I am really not feeling the urge to use it much! Trying to use my time a little more constructively!     We’ve settled pretty well into our new crib. Not loving the place too much, feeling a little crowded in. Here is the awesome view from all our windows;   The loungeroom The kitchen The spare room   The neighbours opposite us seem to be at home & at their windows about 90% of the day. It is driving me fucking nuts! It’s hard to be able to just relax when people can see into your place all day! We are tossing up whether we are going to stay here or move again at the end of the 6 month lease. If they want to put the rent up I’m definitely voting for the move, we are already paying way more than this dank little place is worth!     Oh, & my seedlings did not survive the move. RIP.     Here’s catch-ups on my little dude; He’s crawling, standing, clapping, saying a couple of words, feeding himself & holding his own bottles. Good kid! Still haven’t had our appointment with the cranio-facial clinic to see if he’s gonna be a helmet-head or not. It’s in a couple of weeks.     As for myself, I'm feeling fat, lazy, & like I’m not achieving anything lately. We’ve just completely emptied our savings account so we could join the gym. That might just be the thing to save my sanity! Think I’m gonna start working a couple of nights again (not willing to do days & put K in childcare), just to be able to live in the real world again for a few hours a week.     Marty’s mum & sister, & her 18 month old are coming from NZ to stay with us for a week in October. Marty is over the moon, & I can’t wait either! Will be awesome to see them, & it’ll be the first time they’ve seen Kaia.     Have been glued to SYTYCD. It totally KICKS IT!! They are sooo good this year! But it does make me feel even fatter & lazier!     Considering I haven’t posted in 2 months, it doesn’t seem like I have a whole lot of interesting stuff to Blog about!   So I'll just say it with pictures;   The boys supporting the All Blacks   His first fancy shirt! At my younger bro's 25th birthday, a cocktail party! The boys looking schmick! (My bro Nat on the left)
