Get Up And Glow


This morning was a fairly early start and a day of shooting ahead. You know me, any excuse to have a good pamper and I'm whipping out the exfoliator. Off on a wee-shoot today (will post the deets on here when I can but will no doubt be instagramming some sneak peaks - my username is 'amelialiana'). This morning meant hair had to be in full force - masked, washed and blowdried, body fully groomed and and skin camera ready. Here's the night before to morning regime to make myself look a little more decent...


The hair prep was first on my list, Shu Uemura Moisture Velvet, my recent mask of choice, was slept in and left me waking up to a hydrated, manageable mane. An anti-static, shine adding Shampoo & Conditioner is reached for - my favourite being V05 Gloss Me Smoothy, which did an excellent job at imparting a shine whilst taming frizz. After towel-drying I'll spritz some John Frieda Volume Fine To Full throughout my crown to aid some much needed lift. 

Body prep starts with Orico Skin Jive Reviving Body Exfoliator, which includes the perfect amount of grit - not too much to leave me with red, parched skin, but just enough to buff away and still leave skin soft and smooth. Legs get dolluped in Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil and arms are coated in  the only tan that's worth knowing - Xen Tan Dark Lotion Absolute Luxe

Makeup wise (again, I've opted out of the makeup artist option) will pretty much the same as the last shoot but adding in L'Oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur Primer to smooth over any imperfections and a layer of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone to impart an 'I've just been on holiday' glow. Lastly lips gain a good coating of Dr Lipp and off I go glow!
