A blog about beauty!

This is a toner for getting platinum hair! I coloured my hair from red to blonde around 2 months ago and i toned it within an inch of its life, still I wanted white hair! I understand you can't get from red to white straight away but this stuff is amazing!!
My hair had a slightly yellow tinge and after bleaching my roots I wanted ofet that yellow out and white in!
Here are the results...(just so you know I have a few pinks streaks in my hair so those orangey/pink bits are meant to be there ;) )

I already have one of these filled with blushes but never really use it. Its a great travel palette but not for everyday ...when will I use 4 blushes in one day?
So as they as currently £10 for four inserts and the pallette I thought I'd get one I could use for everyday makeup!
And it's a beauty!
The eyeshadows last all day without primer, they are silky and pigmented. The blush I have is juicy apricot is amazing its such a gorgeous colour and lasted on me for over 10 hours I am impressed!!
Here are some pictures of the pallete..
Do you have any recommendations for inserts I can swap in and out of this??

I hate applying sticky, wet lotions that don't soak into the skin. Especially while I'm out or a work as I don't have the time to wait for it to sink in.
I received this is glossy box or Jolie box (I have received so much bloody hand cream I don't know what came where!) and I chucked in the back of a drawer thinking I would never use it.
One day I had a huge sort out and with all the YouTube videos recently 'products I used up' it inspired to me to finish some things and really giving them a go.
I used to hate using things up but now I love it, I haven't got many empties yet but I'm getting there!
Anyway after that long winded explanation...
I expected nothing from this cream, I chucked it on my desk and picked it up every now and then squirted a bit of it and rubbed it in...then carried on typing...took me a while to realise I wasn't sat around waiting for this to soak in...it made my hands feel lovely And soft and not one bit greasy!
I apply it all the time and have loads left still!
It doesn't have a strong smell and is vegan!
This is a great hand cream!
I'm not sure on price but I'm definitely going to be using more of the samples I have as they are great to stick in your bag and you never know you may find a diamond in the rough...

I love fake nails, they look so gorgeous and I would Sport them all the time if I could but they're such hard work. They ruin you're real nails, grow out fast and cost a fortune to up keep.
So I usually rock the natural look however spotted these in boots on 3 for 2 and thought I give them a go.
They are really easy to apply, although I have done this many times before so it may take a little bit of practice for those who haven't done it before.
It took me around half an hour to apply them and so far so good, I will let you know how long these last but I would recommend for a special occasion or if you fancy spurs sing up your nails!

I love these, they are amazing!!
The only problem???...I only have two!
I recently picked up this bright pink (it was the least vivid of two pinks I wanted!)
It applies like a dream,smooth and rich in pigment! It also lasts for hours! I apply mine with a real techniques detailed brush! Perfect for a hot summers day!
I think I may buy the white one next SI I can mix up my own colours and get creative!

So I have lusted after this since I first laid eyes on this beauty...it's an unusual colour,people rave about them... Plus it's Chanel!!
It's emerveille illusion d'ombre and it cost me 22.50!
I had such a shitty day so this was the only thing that would make me happy so off I trotted with my plastic brought this and made it home in one piece without killing anyone! Broke open the seal and slicked it on...it wobbled around in it's pot, smushed about...it wouldn't attach itself to my finger to apply it to my eye lid!!
Hmmm...tried a brush...a little better but I practically had to scoop a bit out and drag it onto my eye lid then warm it into my lid with my finger!
Ok so once it's on it lovely, a hint of pink and a slight shimmer...beautiful...For about 20 mins then it has creased and is gone within the hour!
It's so beautiful and I want to love it but I can't !
Does anyone know how to make this work? Iv tried urban decay primer potion it still creases! Ideas??
Here are some lovely pictures anyway..

I have always wanted to try mac strobe cream or liquid but it's just so expensive for something you don't really need!
I was buying something else in mac and decided to ask for a sample! (last time I asked they said they had run out of pots! Typical!)
So i really enjoyed using it I rubbed it on my cheekbones before foundation and it gave a lovely glow and then reading other reviews and blogs people said there was a dupe...loreal lumi magique primer...so I put it to the test!!
I lined it up against loreal and soap and glory hocus focus ...closest match was the soap and glory hocus focus!
Loreal has a golden/champagne undertone and is cerythik and creamy but the strobe liquid and hocus focus have a pink under tone and are slightly runnier. I would say s&g is a touch more peach and a tad more warm toned but they are pretty much the same!
Here are some pictures... (from left to right MAC, LOREAL & SOAP AND GLORY)
