I've got it covered!


My skin is horrendous! NO, really! I have combination skin and regular breakouts so I always need to be careful and wary about the make-up products I use. In the last few months I have stuck to using just one brand called Younique which offers MINERAL BASED cosmetics free from harmful chemicals and parabens and NOT tested on animals! Mineral based is better for your skin as it sits on top of your skin rather than sinking and blocking your pores. This alongside their strong ethics was what attracted me to them in the first place!


My skin before make up. Redness and  bumpy spots on my chin, darker areas around my eyes and redness around and on my nose.... I hate it but I have learned to live with it! I wake up and my skins always changing and keeping me on my toes!!!


These results are after I have used Glorious Face and Eye Primer and Touch Liquid Foundation in Scarlet. No concealer, no other make up used at this point! I have tried all kinds of brands and products and not one has given me this coverage so easily and so effectively! The liquid foundation dries to a soft powder finish so my face is left so soft too! Both products are lasting me ages as well, especially the liquid foundation as it has a fantastic 'dropper' applicator and I only use 3 or 4 tiny droplets each time.

The products are also packed with some fab nutrients to help my skin too -

Can a person change in 6 months?


I have spent a lot of my adulthood thinking I was cursed and destined to struggle through life. Having been in 3 abusive relationships where I have endured violence and emotional abuse, struggled with a miscarriage in 2011 and having had many unsatisfying employment roles I got myself into a deep state of depression and anxiety. I met my soul mate in 2014 and have been in a steady, safe and long term relationship ever since. This really boosted me emotionally but still I felt like I was missing something. Even though at some points in my life I felt like nobody was there for me and nobody cared I had always had a strong desire to help others even when it was at the EXPENSE of my own life. 

There was one piece short of the jigsaw puzzle that is my life and 6 months ago I found it. 

I took a risk and joined the world of Network Marketing. Initially thought it would just be a hobby alongside my full time role. My full time job was something I struggled with daily and it was dragging me down back into that pit I had almost dragged myself out of. I paid £79 to set myself up in a work-from-home business opportunity and in return received a full kit to enable me to promote as well as free training, coaching and a website!

 After two months of making new friends online in Marketing and growing my own reputation and customer base I found myself getting more and more confident every single day. Until one day I quit my job. Just like that. They did not fight to keep me and that was all the confirmation I needed. This was not where I was meant to be.

Then someone joined my team and I got the recruitment buzz. That day I realised that the only thing holding me back was ME. Now, 6 months down the line I run a successful business promoting a gorgeous and ethical range of beauty products online.... with a team of 30 ladies! Some of my ladies treat it as a hobby and earn extra money around their own busy lifestyles! Others are going at this full pelt and are determined to reach the top; something I KNOW they will accomplish! I now only work part time in a shop so all my time free when my partner is working is focused on achieving my GOAL.

I love helping them achieve their goals through coaching, one to one conversations and team talks! I'm there for them all the time.

But it's not just that. I have realised that I can be comfortable in my own skin. My own struggles with my body and how I see myself are slowly melting away and I am actually using what I have been blessed with to help everyone worldwide! I find it cringeworthy when you see clearly photoshopped before and after pictures for miracle products so I took a stand and said NO. With my business you will only ever see HONEST results from HONEST people. You want a review of a product. I'm a blogger so let me try it out for you and show you MY results.

This is NOT intentionally a recruitment advert.You can take this one of two ways. I am just telling the truth. How it is. On my blog. 
MY world has really REALLY changed and as a result so have I! 

IF you are intrigued you can find me on facebook at www.facebook.com/mylashconfession and my website is www.mylashconfession.co.uk



I'm an open book - ask me a question and receive an honest answer! There's too much negativity, hatred and lies in the world for me to add to it. I am just a simple girl wanting to make a very simple difference to the world. 

I also LOVE reading new content so please feel free to comment and leave me your link :)

Thank you for reading
