Here is a picture of my current adopted pet (my sisters kitten) his name is Wilfred, he says hi.
YES HE IS THE CUTEST KITTEN EVER! 

When? When? When?

Hello lovelies!! 

How are we today? 

I've taken it upon myself to get organised and let you beautiful lot know when I intend to be blogging.

Soooo, my intention is publish my main blog posts every Sunday at 7pm. Not to say this is set in stone and not to say I only intend to write 1 post a week but as it stands that's the schedule. I have a full time job working a 42.5 hour week and I don't want to promise you all the world and only deliver half. 

I will be of course posting some sporadic posts mid week when I have days of here and there but if I am silent during the week check back in on Sundays for a new post.

 I want to give you lovely followers the best I can in my posts. I want to really get to know you and you me. I want to deliver high quality loveliness on a weekly basis for you to read and enjoy. Hopefully one day I can work less at my smelly day job and more on this but for now enjoy my Sunday posts and anything in between. 

That's all for now Beauties. 

Mucho Love, 

Liv

Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend!

I started my weekend with some light baking, a catch up and a drink with friends down my local pub.

I gave my hand ago at baking, I had seen a Blog post and video from Lily Pebbles where she made 'Brookies' - Thats right you guessed it, BROWIE-COOKIES and yes they are as delicious as you're thinking. For the recipe click on the word Brookies above or for a link to Lily's blog just click on her name above.

So after a nice chilled evening stuffing my face with Brookies and having a drink with friends. It's time to kickstart the weekend with some Brunch my life does revolve around food.

On the menu this morning is poached eggs, a sprinkle of cheese and some fresh avocado YUM. It's snowing here in Norwich so I'm not totally sure what i'm going to do with my weekend from brunch onwards but i'm sure I will keep you updated.

Here's a few snaps of my Brookie making journey:

TRUST ME YOU NEED TO BAKE THESE BAD BOYS 

What are you up to this weekend?

Comment below to give me some ideas to make the most of this snowy weekend.

Tag me on Insta or Twitter @livrhmakeup if you make some Brookies.

Mucho Love,

Favourite Beauty Steals

I love makeup!

 I love using it on myself, applying it onto other people, talking about it, buying it, having fun with it, the whole shebang.

As much as I love makeup, I really love finding makeup steals and duplicates. 

Now some high end makeup just can't be beaten however lots can... 

Brands & Products

Collection:

•  Bronze Glow Mosaic: This is a bronzer/Highlighter and it is my no.1 go to face product- I have used it for years and even now to this day I speak to professionals and practically everyone asks what I have got on my cheeks. Guess what?!... ITS £2.99! I kid you not. It's a perfect bronzer/highlighter for the summer time when you don't want to wear makeup but are going out for lunch with friends and just want to add a wake me up to your face without caking your skin up. And theres more...Its not just made for the summer. It's perfect for all year round use. If you want to contour with another product and wear a blush too I use it as a highlighter with a lighter touch on the high of my cheekbones.

• Lasting Perfection Concealer: This is a fantastic concealer, its got a thick creamy consistency which gives it a pretty full coverage so it is perfect for covering uneven skin tones and blemishes. And again its a bloody bargain at £4.19. However because of its popularity people like Tanya Burr and Zoella have recommended it meaning tends to be out of stock a lot! 

 Bourjois: 

• Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick: Firstly they've called it a lipstick however, I would call it a lip lacquer. It goes on as a lacquer and sets matte nevertheless it isn't drying, sticky or heavy on the lips like matte lipsticks can be. My favourite colours from the collection I have are Hot Pepper and Nude-ist. Now lets get serious because thats what the lasting power is. No joke, it lasts on your lips so so well and it doesn't leave the lipliner look when it is wearing off either. I would say this is the only bold lip product I would use if I was going out for a meal. Try it for yourself it won't break the bank at £8.99 and there is normally an offer on too! Trust me, you won't regret it.

Revlon:

• ColourBurst Lip Butter: These lip butters are beautiful, they don't promise staying power and they don't promise high colour pigmentation. Nonetheless, they do promise soft and instantly hydrated lips that is exactly what they do! There is now an extended colour range and even though they haven't got a hugely deep pigmentation they do leave a lovely colour on the lip, I own about 6 from the collection at the moment at 2 of which I have already had to repurchase currently selling at a kind to your purse £7.99 or 2 for £10 at boots! If you are looking for a natural sheer colour on the lip alongside some needed TLC during the winter months- because sometimes lip balm just isn't that glam! This is the product for you!

Thats all for now beauties, this post could go on forever.

 Told you I loved talking about makeup.

What are your favourite beauty steals? 

Have you used any of these products? Or can you recommend me some?

Let me know your thoughts! 

Mucho Love,
