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!

I'M SO SORRY!

This is for all those have as subscribers.

I'm so sorry for abandoning you, I didn't mean to. It's been Hectic with exams and I was looking for a job very stress-full but now I'm in Florida. :D Having a loving time living it up with the yanks.

Dark and Dirty

I thought I'd do something alittle different. These are some recent pictures I've taken for myself. Just out of boredom. But I figured.... Why not share with my fellow bloggers.

This is something I live for: Taking makeup to the next level. These are some pictures I have taken to document and share with you some of my ideas for modeling and make up.

I hope it's not to creepy and weird for you....

My Nail Growth Challenge.

Okay. I'm 18 and I've been biting my nails since I was a little kid. It's one of those things I really enjoy. But since my exams started I've notice my nails were getting smaller and smaller. It's got to the point where I can't stand to look at them.

So for my own self esteem I'm making a change and I'm going to stop biting them and try and take better care of them. It's my first day of not biting them, and so far I don't think I have consciously bitten them. Finger crossed.

1st

I've recently started my exams and I've been having problems with my nails. They've been dry and sore. So I've started off using Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle and Nail Treatment, and it's working wonders from the first use I notice my cuticles felt softer and less sore.

2nd

I use a cuticle remover tool to push back my cuticles and reveal more nail. It can hurt alittle but as long as you don't make with fingers bleed, a little pain is a sizeable loss in the quest for beautiful nails.

3rd

You need to file all the rough edges off your nails, otherwise these might catch on your clothes and cause breakage. Plus they'll look soo much tidier.

Tip: Always file into the centre of your nail edge. This will reduce chances of breakage, as sawing at your nails weakens the nail fibres. Then if you get a point in the centre just gently file down the edge.

4th

Use a multiple side nail file. This will shape, smoothen, buffer and shine your nails to perfection. Be gently and don't press hard for any of the side.

The amazingness of this tool is they usually give you a step by step direction on the file it self. Giving you an idea of which side to begin with.

Underwear or Outerwear.

This Summer we can all live a little bit on the edge.

But don't fret yourself, you will not a look like a whore as long as you wear them right.

Tip one.

Never wear black underwear/outerwear. You just look too night walker. I think it's better to stick with flourals and other type patterns.

Tip two.

There is nothing better than layering with these. A simple baggy top underneath can be a casual twist. It's very useful if you're belly conscious. However, if the top is too baggy it will bunch at the sides and make you hips look wider. And who wants that!

All these items are at topshop online.

TOP 10 Summer Must-Haves.

It's official summer is here.

It's June now and soon we will all be basking in the sun shine enjoying our wine and beer... But now we need to think about our wardrobes.
After winter all the snow clothes have been bluking up our wardrobes. Now it's time to thin it out with tiny, floaty, cute things. LET'S START!

1. Shorts.
For the theme parks days, and the lots of walking days. There is nothing more comfy than a pair of shorts and this season the oversized tailored shorts are so in.

Also floaty shorts are another favourite, after last years trend of tight shorts the women of the world have realised their fault. This year we have opted for letting our legs breathe!
Thes shorts are perfect for smart evenings out aswell. Over all a good buy. BUT PLEASEEEE! Make sure they suit your body shape and they fit well.

2. Flower Print Dresses.
This is the perfect base of ALL outfits. Flowery or plain it's perfect. But small rose detail is the fashion favourite. But don't be affraid to mix the girly with a masculine twist, denim jacket is always a good choice.

3. The bikini

Okay, I'll admit it's an obvious choice for the holidays. But I'm gonna be a little more specific. The Tropical flower print is a favourite for this summer holiday. And don't forget miss matching bikini's is okay, don't worry. :)

4. Denim Shirts

Another favourite. It's seems that TopShop was one year ahead. I'm sure everyone remembers the favourite pale denim shirt. EVERYONE HAD ONE! Well lets hope you've all held on to that bad boy and you're prepared for this summer.

5. Cropped tops

Well we've learnt from another lesson of last year, the oversized top is definately out and cropped tops are in. THANK GOD! Now we can breathe.


6. Gladiators

The Gladiator sandals are making a comeback. However, the favourites of last year are making a slight change. The buckles are out and the lace up are so in. And here's a tip: ties at the back are far more flattering if you're leg conscious.

7. Oversized sunglasses

I love oversized glasses, they are the perfect solution for those makeup-less days. So let's take a leaf out of Jackie O's book. And these are perfect of feeling lke a celebrity and who wouldn't want to look like a celbrity.

8. Maxis Dress

In the last few years the maxi dress has taken over everyones wardrobes. But I'm sorry to report that the tribal print is soo out when it comes to the maxi. But the block colour is taking it's place, and rightly so I think.

9. Anything with fringe details.

Skirts, bags, Shoes, Waist Coats, Belts. EVERYTHING can have a fringe detailing.

10. Playsuit.

The name gives you a basic idea of it's use. I know they are not ideal for all body shapes but they are so pretty. why not splurge this year and try one out. You could only go wrong if you buy the wrong one.
