Because Beauty, Make-Up, Fashion, Fitness and Wellbeing for those aged 30 plus, just like me, is important
Turns out that once you hit your thirties there’s a whole new set of beauty rules for your skin, hair, nails and well-being. Secondly, your beauty product cabinet and style definitely changes throughout the decades. Now that I’m in my mid-30s, I like to make sure that what I’m spending my money on is going to work for me. But I want this to be a destination for tips, product reviews and advice that will help you make your mind up about your next purchase.
Make-Up Reviews
Firstly, if you’re like me, the only way you realise that you’re older is the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (I have been grey since aged 23, but that’s easy to hide.) By the time you reach your 30s, you generally know what works for you and what doesn’t when it comes to wearing makeup. But it’s easy to get stuck in a rut.
Bomb Dot Com Glitter Palette
Firstly, I tried out Jolie Beauty Bomb Dot Com Glitter Palette to create a party look. But with minimal effort.
Second Skin Blushers
As a super pale person with rosacea, because of this, I have to be wary when choosing the right shade of blushers and highlighters.
Second Skin Highlighters
Because highlighters are super trendy they are a beauty secret weapon. But they give you a youthful and healthy glow.
Beauty Product Reviews
Even though we feel no different from our 20s – in fact, I actually feel younger now than I did 10 years ago – we need to approach our beauty regime differently in our thirties. Our skin is getting more sensitive, secondly, our hair often feeling drier and thirdly, new surges of hormones. Your 30’s can be a time when it’s worth investing in your beauty regime.

Sustainable Period Product Reviews
By the time you reach your mid-30s, like me, you know what to expect of your period. But you know the warning signs and how you will tackle the next 5-7 days. Moreover, the bathroom cabinet will already be stocked with supplies, from tampons, pads, paracetamol and more. As much as some of us are stuck in our ways, it’s our responsibility to try out more sustainable period products.

Your Body and Empowerment
Firstly, who’s fed up with hearing the various “horror stories” about how our bodies change as we get older? However fed up we get with hearing how our biological clock is ticking, how it’s harder to lose weight, and made to feel petrified about losing societal “value” now we’re no longer nubile ingenues. However, being in your 30s means some very interesting and surprising implications for your health, most importantly, the way you see yourself and what to be aware of. In conclusion, love your body; it’s the only one you’ve got.
