Hi everyone and welcome back!!

I've decided to start a new series of “Turmeric Tales” after the popularity of my Instagram post last year (here) featuring the Botanical Lab Turmeric mask, so I've been scouring the internet since then, collecting some turmeric containing products to test and review for this series, which I'm so excited about!

Seeing as my grandparents were from India and turmeric is heavily used in South Asian food/culture, it made sense to start this series, especially as it has recently gained much popularity in the Western world, so read on to see my first instalment in this series and a little background information on the wonder ingredient that is also known as "haldi".

Asian photoshoot...

Recently I've been looking for models and photographers (and hair stylists) to collaborate with to build my portfolio and I have to say I've met some really nice people through it and managed to produce some excellent work.

I have a fascination with photography as it is.. the only problem is, I own a DSLR, but don't know to use it 100% properly.. or have the equipment to produce photoshoot style images, that are so much more better (in terms of lighting).

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my recent makeup looks I did on a gorgeous young model (Lauren), with the help of a lovely photographer.
I wanted some professional pictures of Asian/Asian Bridal makeup, so here's 4 of many pictures that I've managed to watermark!

The first two pics were an Asian Bridal look, whilst the last two were just an Asian fashion theme that I wanted for my portfolio. I have to say I love the sari, but sadly I'm useless at wearing one, so it's pointless me owning any!

I've added these pictures to my portfolio on my facebook page: Frootibeauty

Please do like the facebook page to view all my makeup looks so far, it's a lot easier than viewing it on blogger and I do link the makeup looks to the tutorials on blogger so I hope you find that useful!

I hope to review a lot more products soon, I've had so many hauls it's now uncountable and I feel bad I haven't had time to review them, although I've swatched almost every purchase!

Soon, my lovely followers,

<3
