Waxperts Wonder Pads

Hi guys
It seems like a lifetime since I purchased the Waxperts wonderpads, and by god am I glad I did. I had heard so many rave reviews from other beauty bloggers that I just had to give them a go for myself, my main reason for wanting to try these wee miracle workers is that I suffer quite badly from Keratosis pilaris , mainly on my upper arms and my legs. through-out the years I have tried numerous Products from other companies and all the tips and tricks of the trade, I was seriously starting to consider microdermabrasion or even a Chemical peel . (I know drastic , right?) But I hated the apperance of it soooo much, and I felt like I was being left with no alternative, that is until I heard about Waxperts wonder pads!

This award- winning beauty must have contains Salicylic acid, which I believe is thee perfect ingredient to help soothe Keratosis Pilarsis, skin break-outs and even in-grown hairs.
These are little circle ,textured pads  (as seen below) that have the ingredients already applied, they are also gentle enough for daily use, although cannot be used on damaged or broken skin. and a  huge little warning is they are not suitable for use while pregnant.

I have been using this product now for over 1 month and honestly I can see a massive change in the appearance of my skin, it is no where near as red as it usually is and even the texture of the raised bumps has visibly reduced , I have also on numerous occasions used these while I have had breakouts and I have to say they really worked a treat at reducing the redness and appearance of my pimples .
 I am just soooo pleased with this product and I know that it will be a daily staple in my Beauty regime for many many years to come.

You can have a look at the other amazing products that waxperts sell on their website right here

You can also catch up on all their latest product news on their facebook , Twitter  and Instagram or even follow the gorgeous owner and creator Ellen on her snapchat @waxpertsellen .

I hope you all love the product as much as I do. For now its love, hugs and kisses from

*DISCLAIMER I have not been paid for this review in any way, this is all my own opinion.

 I have become absolutely make-up obsessed lately, I can spend hours watching make-up tutorials on Youtube, ohh and thats when I should be asleep might I add lol, I follow a huge number of  MUA's religiousy but  when I came across a little gem like this lady on Instagram then it felt like Christmas had come early. I have never seen talent like it in my entire life!! , I can promise you guys that this little beauty is going to become huge in the make-up industry, without any shadow of doubt.
 I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get to know Caoimhe a bit better so I set up a little interview with her,  she was sooo sweet and kindly agree. I will add our wee interview below for you all to read, as-well as a few pictures of her work, I really struggled to choose which ones to add as they are all so gorgeous! And of course I didn't want to add all of her work to spoil it for you all, so you guys will have to go check this wee beauty out for yourselves.

Im sure you will all agree that Caoimhe's work is stunning, I can definately see her work adorn the front cover of fashion magazines in the near future, if not sooner!! remember folks you heard it here first hahahah.

1. Firstly for those that dont know you yet ,What.s your name ,where are you from, and what age are you? My name is Caoimhe Kelly , I'm from Northern Ireland and I am 16 years old!

2.What age did you first take an interest in make-up and why? I have always had a keen interest in art as a child. My mum would always give me her almost empty make-up bottles and packaging and I would constantly be trying them out. I was just so mesmerised by the different colours. In my early teens I started to get terrible acne so I would always be researching new ways to cover my skin up.  I believe with that then came the recognition that make-up was amazing.

                       
3. Where did you learn to do makeup?   YouTube tutorials and Trail and error! Practice makes perfect.  

4. If you could only use 3 makeup products for the rest of your days , what would they be and why? Recently I've been obsessed with the Anastasia shadow couture palette. It's honestly just the most perfect palette I've used. Second would most probably be the Anastasia dipbrow pomade. My eyebrows have evolved seriously ever since I've bought it! And lastly it would have to be loreal true match foundation. I honestly use it on almost all my clients and they're obsessed with the finish it gives! 

5.Did you find it hard when first starting out on social media to try gathering followers/likes etc. I found it really hard at the beginning. I realised that you need to engage with your followers. It was a real learning curve at the start. I practiced constantly trying to get the right picture and finding the perfect technique. 

6.Which social media sites are you on? 

 I'm on Instagram- http://instagram.com/cakefacecaoimhe ,

Twitter -http://twitter.com/cakefacecaoimhe

 Facebook -http://facebook.com/cakefacecaoimhe 

youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjTPxYTTNM8oLiBATPbT2EA 

7.Which MUA inspires you the most with their work and who would you love to do a collaboration with ? I've so many! http://instagram.com/ssssamanthaa Samantha from Batalash would definitely have to be on the top of my list. I'm also obsessed with nikkietutorials http://instagram.com/nikkietutorials I've learned so much from her over the years! 

8. For anyone that is looking to work as a makeup artist and is only starting out what advice would you give them  that you wish someone had of gave to you.? I'd say to be prepared for hate and jealousy. I've gotten so many negative comments that really took a blow to my confidence at the start but I've learned to realise that the ratio of negative to positive comments are not even comparable. Make-up artistry can be a very jealous industry.

9 . Which makeup look is your all time "go to" look and which products do you use to achieve it?. Pink Champagne eyeshadow by ABH is amazing with warm toned eyeshadow and YSL number 10 lipstick! 

10.  Where do you hope to be 10 years from now? I hope to be possibly working in film make-up and special effects type make-up. I also just hope to be happy and be able to say I'm pleased with what I've done so far in my life.

12.Would you ever consider running a makeup  master class in the near future? I would absolutely love to do makeup classes! I'm quite an introverted person so It would be a bit of a challenge. 

13. If you could advise people reading this of 3 people to follow on social media who would they be, and why ? I would have to say @batalash , @nikkietutorials and @littlepaintedlady (if you haven't already!) 

I hope you all loved getting to know Caoimhe as much as I did , I know we will be seeing loads more of her in the future, but for now my lovlies its loves, hugs and kisses from Little Painted Me xxx ooo

Tag your it.... Blogger interview tag

Being a new blogger in town isn't always easy so when i saw a little post on Twitter from Emily looking for bloggers to be involved in her "tag your it" blog post i jumped at the chance as it will let you all get to know me a bit better.
Before I get started I was tagged by Emily and here is her blog http://www.floraalemily.blogspot.co.uk/

1.How did you get into blogging?
I have been interested in blogging for a long time, being a mummy of 4 reading other ladies/gents blogs used to be like my little way to escape from the mayhem (hehe)  but the more I followed these bloggers the more I realised hey this is something that i really wanted to do myself, so having a passion for beauty and cooking/baking I thought I would base my blog on those as these are the  things I trained for in college when I left school, but becoming a parent at only 18 meant I had to let it take a back seat for a while. So what better way to share my love than through my very own blog. 

What advice would you give to beginner bloggers?
well considering im only new myself the best advice i could pass on is do what YOU want to do, find your neich then it will all come naturally to you when it comes to blogging about it. Also be patient, i found myself constantly checking how many followers i had on social media and how many hits my blog was getting, if your doing your best then the followers will find you and more importantly keep coming back each time you post.

What would be your dream campaign?
Im a huge fan of Marissa carter and her cocoa brown brand i follow her on twitter and snapchat, if.your not already following her then you are missing out, this lady is stunning and has a voice that would melt you.
Im already obsessed with all of the cocoa brown range but to be involved in a campaign for this would be a dream come true.

Do you have a plan for your blog?
The only plan I have for my blog is that it becomes a success and that it inspires others to start up one of their own.
i really hope you all enjoyed reading this tag interview and i hope you all have a fab day, but for now its love,hugs and kisses from LittlePainted me xxx
below are the blogs i now tag 😆😆😆

filthy velvet ( it makes perfect scents)

After browsing through Instagram's discover new people page one night I came across a company called Filthyvelvetgram, me being the nosey so and so that I am I was intrigued to say the least, when looking more into the page I discovered they were a local business close to where I live that sold scented candles (scandles) , and being as obsessed with scented candles as I am I HAD to get to know more about them and there brand.

While on browsing through the product range and the different scent of candles I came across all the candle names, and let me tell you they are Hilarious, for example there is camel toe, busty blonde, pot head... the list goes on.

I had this idea in my head that i would be burning these candles and my visitors would come in and say ohhhh whats that lovely smell, and that's when I would reply ohhh that ohh it's just  "camel toe" or "busty blonde" (hehehe) the thought just makes me laugh out loud.
I knew instantly that I would fall in love with these products so I didn't hesitate in getting in contact with the company owners  Karen and jeremy and asking for permission to do a blog with the products that I purchase. Having received permission I placed an order for the busty blonde candle (coconut and vanilla musk) this was £10.50. i lovvvve lovvve coconut scents so this was a no brainer , and I also ordered two boxes of the filthy bits which are little wax pieces to melt on a burner, I got lime,basil and manderine and the cotton fresh scents, these were both £4.50 each for a 6 piece box

. When placing my order I chose to collect in person , that way I could meet with Karen,get a little chat and possibly see more products as well and i could use it as an excuse for a road trip for myself and my partner.
Guys I cant begin to explain how lovely Karen is and how welcome she made me feel in her home, while I was there Karen showed me all the different scents herself and her partner jeremy produce and all from their beautiful home, from the very first step to the last I might add

! I was just besotted with the range of the scents and if I could I would have taken them alll home!! I am just in awe of this pair and I want you all to get to know them too so I did a little Q&A while I was there to allow you all to get to know karen,jeremy and there fantastic company, so here it is......
when was your company set up?
I set the company up in February 2015 with the help of my partner.
Where is your company based?
All our products are hand made from our home in Portrush.
Where can your products be purchased?
You can purchase our products on line www.filthyvelvet.com and through selected retailers in Northern Ireland ie Studio Souk, Belfast, Preloved by Patti & Frank, Portstewart , Memento Portrush, Touch Beauty Spa Coleraine and Sarah Butcher Make Up artist Co. Mayo. We are attending one of London's leading gift and lifestyle exhibitions in September and hope to be trading with more retailers throughout the UK and Ireland.
Who was the brains behind the company and product names?
I worked as an Interior Designer and owned my own Design Boutique for 15 years, I'm also a qualified aromatherapist which gave me a great understanding of scent combinations.. I decided to combine my skills and love for secnted candles and create my own unique range. My primary aim was to create a quality product but It was also wanted the range to reflect my own personality - fun and a little bit cheeky.
How many different scents are there?
Currently we have 14 Scandle scents available and 7 different Filthy Bits (wax melts) available but have many more in the pipeline. We would like to extend our product range to include scented oils, perfumes and room sprays.
How much does your products retail for?
Our products retail online for £10.50 & £4.50
Can your products be purchased through wholesale so that other companies can feature your candles?
Yes our products can be bought wholesale
If you had to choose a favourite scent , what would it be and why? 
I have so many favourite scents and they tend to change with the season. At the moment I am really enjoying our Pot Head  - Freshly Cut Grass Scandle but I think our WTF - Winter's Traditional Fragrance has to be my firm favourite. Its so hard to choose - I like them all!!
Where do you hope your company will be in 10 years time.?
We hope to be a real contender in the home fragrance industry wholesaling throughout the Uk & Europe and perhaps further a field.

I couldn't wait to get home to open my purchases, and I wasn't disappointed , the candle comes in a rustic little tin with company logo and candle name, these would fit in beautifully with any home decor,  and the filthy bits come beautiful wrapped in tissue paper inside a little cardboard parcel.

Its times like this I wish that there was such an invention as smellavision because Ohhhh Myyyyy F#@king God these candles and filthy bits smell out of this world!!! I have purchased other brands of scented candles / melts before but dear jesus these are not even in the same catergory  when it comes to comparing smellls! I had the wax melt burning for 2 minutes and my whole house smelled AMAZING!!!!

I cannot recommend this company enough guys, I mean if you're to do one thing today then please make it be adding these guys on facebook/twitter/instagram and placing an order of your own because I can 200% assure you that you will not be disappointed!! I am now their number 1 fan for life, I will never be buying from any other scented candle company ever !! In fact I can assure you that I will have Filthy velvet bought out of stock by the end of this year for sure!!
 I will link all of there social site pages down below,so you guys can check them out for yourselves . I know you will become a fan too.
I hope you all have a "Filthy Velvet" day lovlies but for now its loves, hugs and kisses from littlepainted me xxx ooo
