Video: 8 Most worn things

I have spent the day living like a caveman! (By that I mean my broadband was down and I had to rely on 3G to get my emails and see Twitter) Times like this make me try to remember what life was like before we had the technology that we have (and take for granted) the most positive thing I can come up with is that people must have had smaller bum's ;)

Anyway basically I have spent the day away from the laptop and made a video instead of writing a blogpost....I hope you like it.

^^I feel Prettttttty, oh so prettttyyyyy^^

I TAG you all..x.x.x

Blush crush #3

I do love me a Sleek blush, Pixie Pink was my first blush from the range and admittedly I originally purchased it because of the name, pretty lame I know but I will always be a sucker for a cute name and packaging regardless of what crappy product may be inside. Fortunately Pixie Pink doesn't fall into the great name, crap product category, in my opinion it is delicious! Here look.....

Swatched (left) and blended (right) on my freshly St.moriz'd arm 

At first sight it looks a bit garish and to be honest it is a little brighter in real life than these pictures are showing. It's the kind of blush that you could do some serious clown cheek's with, should you so wish to!
Halloween idea's aside, with a light handed application Pixie Pink adds a really pretty, flush to the cheeks which for a matte hot Pink looks surprisingly natural even when my (NC20) face isn't tanned.With a tan it looks stunning either blended out for a pretty natural flush or built up for more impact.

This is definitely a blush I recommend having a play with the next time you visit a Sleek stand, don't let the thought of dolly cheeks scare you off, it really is a beauty!

Review: Bourjois Volumizer mascara

It has taken me a while to jump on the 2in1 mascara bandwagon but when my Loreal Telescopic lost it's battle against dryness the other week, I took the opportunity to see what the fuss was about and popped the Volumizer into my Tesco basket.

Basically there are two parts to the wand, step one which has minimal product to create clump free length, and step two which is loaded with product 'to create spectacular 3D volume.'

Step1 (length)

Step 2 (volume)

Before

After step 1

After step 2

For length and volume I really cant fault it, my Mum even asked me if I was wearing false lashes :) It also doesn't flake or smudge under the lower lashes and even though it isn't waterproof it managed to stay put when I washed my hair over the bath (don't ask!)
However the whole wet messiness of step 2 is a clump fest/black eyelid disaster waiting to happen and something that I don't generally have time for on a day to day basis. Step one is nice enough to use on it's own but I will be going back to my Loreal Telescopic which I find gives my lashes a much better/long lasting curl.

Overall I think that if you are looking for a long wearing dramatic lash effect then you will love this mascara.

Personally step 2 is something that I can live without !

FOTD FAIL

I think it has been a while since I last did a FOTD, I find trying to take a picture of myself such a bloody challenge that it can take all night to get a half decent shot.But tonight the boys were out I thought I'd rifle through my make-up drawers and see what was lurking in the back to take my very minimal eye make-up (MAC Naked Lunch and Woodwinked on the lid) to something a bit more exciting.

This was all very well and good and I got to work with my metallic purple from the Sleek 'Oh so special' palette which I hadn't used yet, and Mac solar bits pigment (an absolute biiiaatch for fall out!) which resulted in a gorgeous and tres glam deep purple/gold smoky that I was actually looking forward to getting pictures of had I not left my camera in the car.fml. brilliant.To the webcam!

I'm not too sure what this face is all about.

so even though the pictures are completely shit which makes me sad I still wanted to have a little ramble on here,and I needed to put a picture of something in :) The last picture is me right now, I was freezing to death, so I went and found this massive woolly (seriously ten attempts there to spell woolly!!) jumper in my boyfriend's wardrobe.I'm actually pretty chuffed it's cold I miss getting all wrapped up and cozy!
Anyway I'm not moving now, I plan on lying here all night and seeing what channel 5 are going to do with Big Brother, who's watching it?, own up! ;)

DIY Ombre hair...the 4th time's the charm

Pretty gosh darn Ginger eh? After the 3rd bleaching session (my ends HATE me)

So I finally took the plunge and (after lengthy twitter conversations with Yu and Lisa) went for the DIY approach to Ombre'ing (?) my Dark brown hair...

I used the Loreal perfect blonde highlighting kit which cost me around £5 in Savers (this is also the preferred ombre bleach for LLYMLRS,Zoella, and the Persian babe who all have amazing hair!)

After the first attempt with the bleach which I left on for about 40 minutes which really was too long tbh!  I was actually pretty impressed with how well my hair colour had lifted, but it wasn't exactly how I wanted it and had a definite copper hint that I thought would probably be removed with another 20 minute stint of bleaching, after washing and drying my hair for the second time I was pretty happy with the results but as it was about 11pm I was yet to see the full effect in natural daylight...and I did get a shock this morning as I woke up with the sun beaming on my (orange) hair which was highlighted to it's fullest by the white pillowcase background!! 

Anyway to cut a long story short*, I sent a picture to my hairdresser friend who advised that I pick up an ash blonde colour which would take out the brassiness.(I got the Loreal recital lightest ash blonde)

So after the FOURTH dye job on my hair it finally looks like this...

S'cuse the picture overload I wanted to show how it looks in different lights and angles etc.

So although there is still a bit of a ginger tinge I am finally pretty happy with the finished results which is lucky because my hair definitely cant take anymore today!

I would love to know what you think, more blonde??
