PUT SOME BLOODY CLOTHES ON!!

Just a post to rant about what ive been seeing this week, first off, whats the deal with all these 12 year olds walking round in what can only be described as a pair of knickers and a bra? I have to confess I do own a pair of these hot pants what they all wear but im 18 so im allowed (technically) but seriously, if my mother saw me dressed like that at their age she would have a fit!! And whats with the hair?! Have they 'knot' heard of a brush? (See what I did there? Ok it was a cheap shot!) anyway there hair is all backcombed and disgusting, and they all look exactly the same? Converse, vans, 'knickers', a little top..

PUT SOME CLOTHES ON. REALLY.

Whats your opinion on these girls?!

Barry M Bold Waterproof Eyeliner

Hey everyone,

Today im going to do a review on Barry M's bold waterproof eyeliner.

First let me start by saying I LOVE THIS eyeliner so much!! It goes on really thick though so for anybody wanting a natural look then this probably isnt for you but I absolutely adore it!

I actually won this in a Barry M Twitter comp a bit ago and only just got round to trying it out, I already have the Barry M Soft Eye Crayon which I love but this one has to be my new fave.

When I first tried it on my hand I was suprised at how easy it went on but also how thick it was, in the end I decided just to use a litte bit and smudge it out (which it was great for).

Then I took the samples on my hand (the top one is one stroke, the bottom two) so you can sort of see how thick and easy it goes on.

Another thing that suprised me was when I went to go wash the samples from my hand, it actually didnt come off straight away which I think is perfect if your on a night out clubbing and your eyeliner can tend to slide off, and although im yet to try it on a night out I think it will last longer than regular eyeliner.

All in all I give this eyeliner a 4/5, losing one point due to how it can go on too thick at first but that aside this eyeliner is a hit!!

Some of my hair products

Hey everyone,

So heres a quick post on my hair products, I tend to use these every day.

Hairspray - Elnet Loreal

As advertised by the gorgeous Chezza Cole. This has always been my fave hairspray as its so easy to brush out and holds hair all day, also doesnt feel sticky which is always good!! Ive heard alot of people complaining about the smell but I genuinely havent noticed a bad smell, thats just my opinion though so if you have a sensitive nose then this isnt for you!


Heat protector - Front Row Charles Worthington

In my opinion, heat protectors are all the same and i dont think you ever really see the effects from using it unless I just had really good hair? (i say had because since bleaching it is gone straw like and split :-( ) Anyway thats just my opinion but i still use it all the time just in case! Maybe if i didnt use it my hai would be worse but i dont know. I still use it every day!!


Serum - John Frieda Full Repair

I only just recently discovered serum when I got my bonded hair extentions (ive been under a rock i know) and i love it, i do prefer the serum I mentioned in my 5 things I love post (Organix Keratin Serum) but I do like this one too, however I dont really know if its done anything to help repair my hair as ive been doing hot oil treatments and regular trims so they all help right? Im gonna buy the Full Repair mask and do a review on it soon :-)


Leave In Conditioner - Aussie Miracle Colour Insurance

I love this, it smells adorable and to say I use it every day this bottle has lasted forever! Think I bought it like early last year & still got some left! I like to use a wash in conditioner and a leave in conditioner when I get out of the shower when my hairs towel dried.



Basically my hair routine goes like this:
 Shampoo > Conditioner > Towel Dry > Leave In Conditioner > Heat Spray > Blow Dry > Serum 

 
Anybody else have any suggestions for good hair products I could add to my routine?

5 Beauty Products I LOVE!

Hey guys!


Here is just a quick post on 5 beauty products I use pretty much every day & couldn't live without!

Here goes, in no particular order..

1. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub,  £4.95/25g, Lush



They say:
"The pink all things girly, bubblegum flavour lip scrub. Clears dead skin and flakiness from lips, leaving them moisturised and smooth. Our lip scrubs are made from castor sugar to act as a gentle scrub and jojoba oil to be wonderfully moisturising but light enough not to leave you feeling greasy. Keeps lips in tip top condition, for kissing, pouting, talking or anything else you wish to do with them."

I say: 
I absolutely love this!! For a start it tastes absolutely devine - its so hard to resist just eating the whole thing! If you want a lip scrub that will have you licking your lips then this is definately for you. I get a small amount on my finger and gently rub onto my lips, then when the scrub residue is all off I apply a moisturising balm and voila! Lovely smooth moisturised lips! 

 

 

2. Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Anti-Breakage Serum, Boots

They say: 
"Transform your hair into silky smooth locks with this exclusive blend of antioxidant rich organic coconut oil along with rich keratin proteins that infuse to strengthen the hair, while organic avocado oils and cocoa butter smooth the cuticle for straight, strong tresses. Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Anti-Breakage Serum prevents breakage and keeps your locks glossy with a healthy looking glow."

I say:
If you have bonded hair extensions, you need this product in your life. Ive tried finding this on the Boots website with unfortunately no luck - I bought mine from there a while back, but you can buy it on Amazon here.

When I had bonded hair extensions I found they went dry and split very quickly, so someone suggested buying a serum with keratin. So the next time I went to Boots it was 3 for 2 on hair products, so after buying a heat protector and a Mark Hill conditioner, this little beauty caught my eye and turned out to be the cheapest one so I basically got it free! I cant remember how much it would have been though. Anyway, I got home washed my hair & put this on afterwards - I found it quite thick compared to other serums i'd used but I dont know weather thats a good or a bad thing? Anyway when my hair dried it was A MILLION TIMES easier to brush and felt like silk - not bad for free! Even though now I havent got extensions I still use this to keep my own hair healthy.

 

 

3. Tweezerman Slant Tweezers, £16.24



They say:
"Top eyebrow artists always recommend the original, award-winning Slant for expert brow shaping. The perfectly aligned, hand-filed precision tips are slanted to grab every hair."

I say:
Before I start let me just say - I'm sure I didn't pay £16.24 for these, more like £12? But that's what i'm getting from Amazon, and you can buy these here. Anyway, you always hear that Tweezerman are the daddy of all tweezers and let me tell you they're not wrong! I adore these tweezers soo much, and the fact they're hot pink makes me love them even more. They get even the tiniest hairs! I'm looking into buying another pair so I can put this old, beaten up pair in my handbag as a spare. Think I've had these about 2 years now and they're still going strong. Definitely worth the investment!

 

 

 

4. Max Factor Facefinity Compact, £10.99, Boots

They say:
"Max Factor Facefinity Compact is Max Factor's longest lasting foundation for great coverage all day."

I say:
If I had to choose 3 items of make-up to take to a desert island with me, this would definitely be one of them (alongside my brow pencil and eyelashes!). I find that with alot of powders, when applied over foundation they can leave a powdery look - not this one. To tell the truth, i'm nowhere near a natural beauty, I like things fake, my hair, eyelashes, tan, nails.. you name it, so my everyday make-up consists of foundation with a powder on top, and the first time I used this I was very impressed with how well it looked on my skin - even more so when I used it without foundation. Unlike a lot of powders, even without foundation this compact still provided a flawless coverage which I loved, so shortly after I started to just use this on its own without a base foundation and was very impressed with the coverage results - and that's coming from someone with awful, pale skin covered with blemishes! This has definitely became a classic for me now, I could not live without it!
Get it here.

 5. Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil, £2.99, Boots

They say:
"Professional Eyebrow Pencil is used to enhance and refine the shape of the eyebrows. It can be used to fill gaps or lengthen the arc of the eyebrow to create the desired look."

I say:
And last but certainly not least, my eye brow pencil! When I was a kid I always had thick black brows that I hated so when I got into high school I plucked them all out, they actually looked disastrous. Cant beleive I went out of the house looking like that, seriously I had like half an eye brow on each side.. #fail. Anyway, a couple of years ago I began drawing my eyebrows on & just shaving the real ones off? (dont ask) untill about a year ago I actually started growing some but as they were over-plucked & shaved they took a while to actually grow into some kind of shape & were reeeeeally thin! It makes me cringe that this was actually not that long ago. Anywho in about January of this year I started noticing HD brows and how good they looked, and due to the thick dark eyebrow hair that I was cursed with it luckily didnt take me long to actually grow some brows - yipee! Although now I have my own eyebrows I still cant leave the house without just defining them with one of these little bad boys, and at £2.99 you cant really go wrong!


Get one here.
