By Terry - Touch Expert Advanced

After the party season my under eyes have been looking a little lack luster, I can't avoid the fact that my nights out over the party season are etched onto my face in the form of dark under eye circles. To combat this I decided to take the plunge and buy the By Terry - Touch Expert Advanced , a product I had been lusting after for some time; I would be browsing my local Space NK, for some reason I would always find myself over by the By Terry counter looking and swatching the miracle under eye concealer/highlighter - I think I may be being a little over dramatic by saying miracle but it does work wonders for me.

The Touch Expert Advanced comes from the lady who designed the coveted YSL - Touche Eclat (Terry de Gunzburg), upon leaving YSL she created her own cosmetics line. Obviously she used her previous ideas to come out with a revamped , improved version for her own line, I can safely say with out a shadow of a doubt that it is a lot better than the YSL Touche Eclat, and the YSL Touche Eclat is a good product which means the By Terry Touch Expert Advanced is a GREAT product!

Both have a very similar packaging and application. I found the By Terry is a lot more concealing as opposed the YSL, I would feel quite comfortable putting the By Terry on a spot, or over wrinkles and not be worried that I am highlighting my imperfections, making them even more horrendous than they already look. The By Terry gives an almost blurred effect to the skin, covering anything without looking cakey, because it blends so seamlessly and effortlessly. I does come with a hefty price tag at £32 (cue gasps) but I am afraid to say I don't think my make up bag would be complete without it now. I do not have a bad word to say about the product.

Extra note: I wear shade 2 Nude.

What have you done today to make you feel proud...

Hello Chickies,

Have you ever had one of them days where are you boiling over with anger, or shaking in rage, or over flowing with tears? I am having one today, so I thought what better way to feel better than to write out how I cheer myself up and stay positive!

First things first - Think happy thoughts.. 

Sounds simple but it can be one of the most difficult things to do when you are having a 'bad' day, I often get stuck in the dulldrums. To pull myself out of my mood I think of a time when I was most happy and I smile, making me feel much better! 

Secondly - MUSIC.. 

My most favourite thing to do to get me out of the dulldrums is to listen to my 'Feel Good' music, yes I have an entire playlist dedicated to feeling good! It is AMAZING! If you're like me you will love a bit of Stevie Wonder and old school RnB - ohhh yhhh I love a good dance, no matter how much of a bad mood I am in when I am listening to my music I always seem to do a little dance, and just doing my little dance makes me laugh (mainly because I look stupid) = instantly cheered up. 

Thirdly - Compliments.. 

Giving someone a compliment and getting a thank you and smile back. Makes me feel good, simple! 

and last but not least.. 

Do something you have been wanting to do but haven't got round to doing it yet. It can be from changing your hair colour to posting a letter, it always makes me feel better, I feel I have accomplished something, and it makes me feel proud, as the title suggests. 

I hope if your in a bad mood this post makes your day that little bit better. 

Until next time, 

Jess
