New Favourite Products.

Since starting my new job I have been able to visit my local boots store (which is soo conviently located NEXT DOOR to my job). I spend my lunch breaks and other breaks during the day to search through the aisles for new products to try out.
Some of them- of course- are not great and I don't use again. But these are the few that have made it into my self.
My life is all about my hair and it is soo important to me to have :

-Volume,
-a Natural Curl,
- Firm'ish hold.

Those who know me see that my hair is all about being as big as it can go. So keeping volume on a non washing day is very important to me.
THIS is Bastiste's
Original Dry Shampoo, at £2.30 its a bargain for beauty.

Coming in different fragences to take away the 2nd day hair smell

Tropical and Blush.

You simply flip all your hair forward so your head is upside down ( not the most attractive to do ) and spray the mist all over your roots especially the front. Then rub you scalp to remove excess, and when you flip your hair back over (very sexy) you should have considerably less greasy hair.

If like me you have darker hair I do suggest using the Bastiste specifically for dark hair as the mist in the original does come out white and is much more noticable in darker hair.

But I love this product and I know you all will too.

When your spending alot of time in long sleeved shirt
s at work and school getting sweat patches are inevitable, but with Sure Maximum protection the chances are near zero. I wear this constantly and it's become especially useful when going to a party and having that next more smell.... :P.


Costing £5.03 in boots, and £5.99 in Tesco its not the cheapest deodorant to buy but it is very very good.


Another one of my favourite products it Body Shop's Strawberry Body Butter.

THE SMELL just brings you back to your childhood. Filled with
Calpol and Tixilics. NOM! It leaves you skin silky smooth and smell delicious.
I do have issues with this product as it can be slimmy but when wear fake tan (As I tend to do) it helps you get that smooth finish.

Hope you enjoy this little insight into my bathroom. :D

Halloween Costume Ideas.

My love for halloween is purely based on my love for costume make and dressing up with a fully stocked dressing up box curstusy of my sister, I have no limit to the costumes I design and make.


This is my idea for a dead doll or just a doll. You can obviously add your own twists to it, for example:


-Add a ribbon to hold back the front of your hair in a little girl way.

-or Tie your hair back completely in a bun.
But one thing I wouldn't suggest is pigtails unless you want to look like a school girl.



The dress is topshop £20 I believe tho any schmok type dress would be ideal.



The shirt is french connection, but I believe the same thing applies find a outfit which has a rounded collar and buttons to the top to make you look as innocent as possible. ALTHOUGH, I have seen the same costume title worn with a 1950's style housewife dress (cap sleeves, nipped in at the waist and puffy at the bottom, with alittle appron at the front.





I wore stockings on my legs though white tights or knee high white/black socks would be ideal.


My make up is simple enough. I used a bright pink blusher by MAC, Estee Lauder Foundation in Shell Biege, I have 3 sets of revlon fake eyelashes on (just because I didn't have any thicker ones handy) and Barry M Raspberry lipstick. I suggest that you stick with thick liquid eyeliner sweeps to keep is old fashioned and girl. My eyes are quite big and I played to that with eyeliner at the bottom to define them more. ;)



I hope to be bringing a series of these outfits up til halloween.

Hope you enjoy it and have a lovely halloween. Any questions comment please or just comment for loves!
