Seaside makeup, 2015 edition

Another year, another trip to the charming town of Southwold. And another opportunity to test my makeup against blustery sea winds!

The perfect fast, natural base: MAC Studio Sculpt Defining Powder

An all-in-one base that stays put, doesn't cake, and looks like real skin? Sign me up.

My current everyday makeup menu

I have a quick, fresh-faced makeup look going on at the moment that's perfect for a Monday morning!

An action plan for dehydrated skin

My skin:
Since coming back from France my skin's been feeling and looking a bit a bit crap. It feels irritated, flaky, and my foundation keeps going patchy and settling into my pores. My skin looks less plump and my lips feel irritated and unprotected. But my skin doesn't feel dry - in fact, it looks more oily than usual. Diagnosis? My skin's dehydrated.

Friday Favourites

Three favourite autumn makeup products.

Three hand creams for any situation

While the rest of me gets covered with tights and jumpers, hands and face remain uncovered. Moisturising my face is second nature, but I easily forget that my hands need the same amount of love.

OTFOI is one year old today!

Break out the champagne because OTFOI turns 1 today! What a proud blog-mummy I am. When I started OTFOI I was accutely aware it may not last more than a couple of weeks - so congratulations to myself for blogging for a whole year. Thanks to all the bloggers and Instagrammers out there who keep me inspired! And, last but certainly not least, thank you to all my readers.

Here's to the next year!
