Sometimes it feels bloody impossible to get out of the door. You know those (rare) nights that you do go out and you suddenly need to put a full face of make-up on while bath time is happening. You’re left choosing between reading a bedtime story and remembering to put on mascara #mumguilt. We had one of those nights the other night. We were hosting ‘an evening with This Is Mothership’ event and had to get ready really quickly so we did what any normal (!) people in a rush would do and filmed it to show you. Yes, we know we are mental. We’ve got our speedy Mum Face look down to ‘4 Products in 4 Minutes’ – but we sped it up here so that you can watch it in 40 seconds!
1) Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Make-up– I’ve never been into foundation and rarely wear it, but this is always in my make up bag in case I need to instantly look like I’ve had 12 more hours sleep than I’ve actually had. I like that it’s not too thick and I don’t look caked in make up.
Everytime i wear this foundation my husband says my skin looks good. If he notices, it means it’s a winner
3)YSL Le Shock False Lash Mascara– This brand new mascara launched this month and gives such good, dark and voluminous lashes, you only need one coat. Perfect for speedy make-up with a kid on your hip.
PS: Have you noticed that we choose blusher over bronzer when we’re in a rush? Read why here.
**NEWSFLASH** THIS IS BACK IN STOCK: ONE BOX = YOUR WHOLE MAKE-UP LOOK
We’ve featured it before but it just keeps selling out, it’s that bloody amazing, be quick!
![Let's just preface this with:
These work for me, I've done some research over the months and they all sound like they could only have a positive impact on life, but as with everything it's always worth doing your own research ✨
My youngest has been diagnosed with a chronic condition, and I don't have control over a lot of what may happen in our future but I can do the best I can with what I am in control of which is where no 2 and no 3 come into play.
Ok let's go!
1. Splashing my face with water 30 times: So far I can only get up to 12 times without feeling like my fingers will freeze off but it clears my head, can support your nervous system, is an instant mood booster, I saw @michaellabolder do it and she knows her stuff so it must be good!
2. Ditching the plastic tupperware: There is lots out of research out there about how chemicals from the plastic can leach into food, especially when it heated, and the chemicals can damage our health. I've also ditched plastic chopping boards & kitchen utensils for wood or metal.
3. Plant based cleaning products: Better for the environment, reduces indoor pollution that we breathe in, safer around kids and doesn't irritate skin. At the moment I'm using @marksandspencer laundry liquid, @miniml washing up liquid (I buy in bulk & decant) and @methoduk antibac surface cleaner.
