Hello September!

Hello there;

August Favourites

Hello there;

Another month gone, another monthly favourites. 

Not the best photo, god damn sun didn't want to play when I took this. 

Posie Balm

Hello there;

A few months ago I realised that I had racked up £30 on my BirchBox account. Now I could have left it there and not spent it. But come on I am a weak weak person and couldn't resist going onto their online shop and snooping around.

I decided on getting a couple of Benefit goodies! 

Going Back Blonde?!

Hello there; You may not be aware of this, but I used to be blonde. WHITE blonde. I loved it. My hair on the other hand did not. It was practically dead, I could pull my dead ends off with ease. So after 5-6 years of having my hair bleached every other month. I went back to being a brunette. There is nothing wrong with dark hair obviously. But I LOVE being blonde. I have now been my natural colour for 2 years? I think. And I am so ready to go back to blonde.  Because I have now moved out and really can't afford the £60+ every other money to have my hair professional dyed. I thought I would try out the L'Oreal Sunkiss Jelly. I had read a lot of good reviews on it and had seen a couple of people on Twitter use them; and had great results. 

Sorry for the bottle being a little destroyed. I used this before I took the photo.

MAC Lipstick Collection

Hello there;

I love the brand MAC, is it no secret. When I was brain storming what posts to do next, I thought AH a MAC lipstick collection I must have about 5 now. When it came round to it and I had 7. I was a little surprised. When did I buy the other 2?! Anyhow. Let me introduce you to my little black bullets.

Make Up Past & Present.

Hello there;

A couple of days ago, I took part in the #bbloggers chat on a Sunday. The topic was how your make up routine had evolved. So I went on a hunt for a old photo of my make up collection, and thank the lord (or maybe not), I found one. Please no laughing now, a girl had to learn. And this was from like 2008?

It's Potent

Hello there;

A few weeks ago I did a guest post on Just Julie (Click here to read it) about the first ever eye cream I had used. I gushed about it, saying how much I loved it. Well I am afraid it needs to take a back seat. I have now used this lil guy.

Glamglow Youth Mud

Hello there;

This is one hype I wanted to be all over. But it is also one hype I was worried about spending all of that money to be disappointed. GlamGlow masks have a massive following, but then with the good there is always the bad. And I tend to be one of them people who doesn't always agree with the "hype". But when my best friend Katie, left to go on the cruise ships, her goodbye present to me was her tub of GlamGlow Youth Mud. Excited to try it is an understatement. 

LanoLips*

Hello there;

I have made a new discovery in my life that, I feel like I need for the rest of my life now. Lanolips. As you probably already know, I am a massive lip balm junkie. I have so many in my stash, to the point where I don't think I will need to buy any for a long while. But I love finding new ones. 

BirchBox - Away We Go!

Hello there;

My lovely BirchBox arrive yesterday morning, and as usually I couldn't wait to rip the packaging open and see what was inside for me!

This months theme is Away We Go.

Happy 1st Birthday

Hello there;

1 year ago today, I sat on my sofa in my home and thought;

"Today I am going to start my own blog".

A year later I am sat again on my sofa in my home and thinking;

"Where the hell has that year gone?!".

Yes Sian Marie Beauty is 1 year old today! If you have been here from the start I am sure you can remember my blog looking like this;

Pro Beauty North 2014

Hello there;

If you have been following my blog since last year, you may vaguely remember my Pro Beauty North 2013 post.

Well this year on the 19th & 20th October it is happening again in Manchester! 

Real Technique Core Collection

Hello there;

I have been shopping on Cohorted again. Oooops. And I will say it again to you, if you haven't checked out Cohorted.com yet. GO DO IT NOW. And then come back to this page and carry on reading my post :)

My latest purchase from that wonderful website was the Real Techniques Core Collection. 

My First MAC

Hello there;

If you sit and think about it, can you remember that one item that really got your make up enthusiasm started? That one product that just imprinted on your heart and you knew from then it was a game changer?

I can remember mine. I had used make up for a while but it was always really cheap stuff. Like the old Avon teenage line, Colour Trend. Now don't get me wrong, Avon has really brought that line on now and some of the items are lovely. But back when I was 13/14 (over 10 years ago) it wasn't what it is now. 

When I was 16, I started working and with me still living at home and no bills to pay. All of the money was mine. I was really starting to get into my make up. Needing to look my best for the boys -wink wink- and I came across MAC. It took me a while to be brave enough to spend so much money on a item of make up. But when the Wonder Woman line was launched in Spring 2011 I caved. The rest as they say is history....

Samples & Spending Bans

Hello there;

If you are reading this, the odds are you are a fellow Beauty Blogger or you have some form of interest in the make up world. So during your time you have probably had a few samples sent your way, albeit you've had a company sent them you or you've had them in magazines. Either way samples slowly start to build up and before you know it, you have this problem.
