Pixi beauty X Chloe Morello review

Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all warm and well!
So, for those who don’t know, Pixi beauty has teamed up with 3 amazing influencers to create a new collection of products, named “Pixi pretties”. Each influenser has two products they’ve proudly plastered all over social media (and rightly so too) I was lucky enough to receive the most beautiful PR package ever. It containing ever product in the range. So, I thought why not give you guys the low down. I decided it would be easier to break the collection down into 3 separate posts so we can cover things in more detail. Let’s dive into the Pixi beauty X Chloe Morello.

A year of blogging + Giveaway!

Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all warm and well!

365 days ago, I embarked on a journey into the unknown world of the bloggersphere. With absolutely no direction and minimal knowledge, I fired up my laptop, signed myself up to blogger and began hammering away at the keyboard. I really hadn’t written properly since my late teens and felt a bit rusty, but with 101 changes later, I published my first post and put myself out there. I was so nervous that people would think I was a bit odd or just didn’t understand, surprisingly, everyone I know has been incredibly supportive

I can’t believe it’s been 6 years already, we’ve done so much together in that time and I’m so excited for the rest of our future together. In the beginning of our relationship some people had doubts and questioned if it would work, you were wrong so middle finger to you.

How I take and edit blog photos

Hey loveliesss
Welcome back, I hope you’re all warm and well ♥

Blog photo’s are something I’ve always tried to work hard on because that’s an area I feel I struggle with most and while I’m by no means a professional photographer, I do think I’ve stepped up my blog photography game since starting back in September ’16. I thought it’d be a nice idea to share with you some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way.

BACKGROUND
We’ve all seen those pretty flatlays with pure white backgrounds, a marble effect pattern or a soft fluffy backing and they look pretty great right? Note how most bloggers photo’s have a mainly light backing, it really helps the products your taking photo’s of stand out. I ran around my house trying to find something to use as a backing and I had nothing, so it was time to improvise. When I began focusing more on my blog photo’s, all I used for a background was a piece of A4 plain paper. Pretty simple and it worked okay-ish for a short time, although with bigger items it was a nightmare. I spoke to a few of my blogger friends on twitter and asked for tips on backgrounds, and so many of them recommended using marble sticky back plastic. So, that’s what I done. I picked up a 4 meter roll from B&Q for around £6 so it’s pretty reasonable and to this day, I still use it (Because not everyone lives in a fancy house with marble counter tops) It’s worked pretty well for me but because I haven’t stored it properly it’s become a bit creased which is a pain.
