Becoming a Confident Woman

 Gaining confidence in adulthood can be fairly tricky. While the outfits you wear may exude confidence, there are other ways you can boost how you feel about yourself, as well as the choices you make. Being confident is not something that can occur overnight. You will need to put time and dedication into bolstering yourself and becoming someone you are really proud of.

Confidence is more about how you view yourself, and less about how others view you, which is why you need to be sure that the choices you are making are ones that really make you happy. In addition to this, honing your skills at whatever it is you are doing can also help you with your confidence and self-esteem.                                   

                                                                                     

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation Review

Early last month, I was very lucky to receive some amazing PR from It Cosmetics. A brand that I've not really tried much from but always heard such wonderful things. Initially, I thought it was just to try their newest launch the 'Your Skin But Better Foundation'. However, a whole bunch of goodies arrived at the doorstep and I am still working my way through each one. For today's post, I am going to give you my overall views and feedback on their newest launch and to tell you all the details about how it wore, looked and lasted on my oily skin! 

Everyday Makeup

The products that I use on a daily basis, have their own place in my makeup dresser. They sort of just sit together, so I can grab them at any point in the morning, without having to worry or look for them. I honestly thought this year would be the year I experiment more with the products I use and change them in rotation but I can't help but just use the same things over and over again - I only use these because they are what I trust.                                              

Loungewear, Leather and Long Chats

I've had, what can only be described as the craziest two weeks. It was coming to the end of half term and I was preparing myself for a week of nothing but meeting up with friends and having some 'me time' after a crazy first time back. Then the day before we were due to break up for half term, my bubble had to close and me and my class had to go into isolation for two weeks. I've never been so panicked in my life. It was horrible seeing their little faces all upset because we weren't able to do our end of term celebrations. Its been a two week isolation full of lots of thoughts, events and the pending lockdown put a lot of things into the mix too. I am determined to be as confident as I can through all of this though!
