PRODUCT REVIEW - STILA CONVERTIBLE COLOR IN GERBERA

Image
  Hi Guys, Todays post is on the Stila Convertible Color. I chose 'Gerbera' from the colour collection as it appealed to me the most, they also have darker colours and lighter ones. Gebera is a pinky/coral colour. This comes in sleek packaging with is really nice and lightweight. The texture of this is like a cream, I would say it's slightly 'tacky' but when you swirl you fingers around in it, it warms up and slides right on. This stuff is really blendable and works really well on top of a base. You can build this product up to be more pigmented or you can put it on sheer and blend it out for a hint of colour on the cheeks. You can also use this on your lips too, so it's a multi-use product and the colour doesn't just go for cheeks or just for lips, the colours are very versatile.  

PRODUCT REVIEW - BOBBI BROWN LONG-WEAR CREAM EYESHADOWS

Image
Hi Guys, In this post I'm talking about the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow. One is from the metallic range and one it not. These have been out for a while now but they are great and long lasting! The two colours I have got and 42 Copper and 8 Antique Gold, however they do offer a great colour range and these are gorgeous and super creamy! These cost £18.50 so not super expensive but not cheap either. To me, these are very pigmented and give a great colour and you can wear them all over the lid, in the tearduct on under the waterline. 

PRODUCT REVIEW - BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR MISTY ROCK AND BRONZE MOON (UPDATED)

Image
If you saw my previous blog post on the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadows you would see that I wanted to originally get 'Misty Rock' and 'Bronze Moon' however when I went on Space NK, they were out of stock (cries!) however I did get them a few weeks back and I said I would do swatches, sorry they are so late but it's better than never! So here they are... (Bronze Moon on the left and Misty Rock on the right) These are super pigmented and very shimmery and simply look gorgeous on!  I have never know another eye product to last so long, even swatching them on my hand it took a good scrub to get the product off! These retail at £28, not cheap but so worth the money in my opinion!  In terms of colour Bronze Moon is a almost a bronze/gold/brown shade and Misty Rock is a pinky/mauve colour. Both utterly stunning and really make the eyes pop when you wear the colour on your lids. You can either do a quick swipe and go or you can really layer on the prod

PRODUCT REVIEW - TWEEZERMAN SUPER CURL EYELASH CURLERS

Image
Hey Guys, Today I'm doing a product review on the Tweezerman eyelash curlers. These one's aren't the metal ones that you usually see around, these super curl ones are plastic and very lighweight. To me these feel less 'dangerous' and I don't feel as though I will poke my eye out with them! They are comfortable to hold and I feel like they really do make my eyelashes curl and with mascara they look about ten times better when I use these eyelash curlers! Here are some before and after photo's...so see what you think! (NO MASCARA) BEFORE   AFTER

PRODUCT REVIEW - PHYTO PHYTONEUTRE SHAMPOO

Image
Hey Guys, So today I am doing a review on the Phytoneutre Shampoo. I purchased this on Space NK about 2 months ago, and I am really happy with this product. My hair type is fine hair that gets greasy quickly and I wanted something that would prolong my hair in between washes as the more you wash your hair, the more greasy it gets, due to you stripping your hair of natural oils etc, so you actually produce more oil to replace the ones that you have stripped out of your hair when washing. So I was keen to give this a go as it is a detoxifiying shampoo. I used this every other wash as you aren't supposed to use it every time you wash your hair. On opening it has a wonderful herby/minty smell and the shampoo came out a green colour! I found you needed little of this and it really feels like it is cleaning your hair well. After this I found that I could go 3, sometimes even 4 days without washing my hair and it was still pretty clean and hardly any grease there at all! This for me has

THE PROCESS OF MY ARTWORK

Image
  Hey Guys, Art is quite a big passion for me and I love being creative (I am a Pisces after all!) So I thought that I would show you the process of my painting and how it has come along and developed over the past couple of weeks.   Stage 1   Okay so here is the very first thing I did and it was to draw this flower. I was just looking at pictures of flowers on google and this one caught my eye so I just sketched the outline of it. The I started to add paint to the canvas. I used Acrylic paint, and chose to use warm toned colours for this. This photo is a shot half way through. Stage 2 Okay so as you can see I have finally finished painting the whole of the flower. I like the way this has turned out as it looks almost 3D. Stage 3 Okay so here I was painting at this point in time! So I decided to fill the space by adding more flowers. I'm not very good at drawing or sketching everything out in one, so I drew a section and then painted it, this worke

HAIR CHALK!

Image
Hey Guys,  So today I'm talking hair chalk! Its super easy and it's great because it's not a full on commitment to having colour in your hair. Depending on what colour your put in your hair, after about one or two washes the colour is fully gone!   Okay so here, I just added a variety of colour just to the very end of my hair just so you can see that you can basically use any colour! (pink, red, blue, green, purple etc)   Again I have gone for more blue hues, including light blue, dark blue, violet and pink. So again here you could go for a theme. For example cool tones or warm tones etc! Mix it up! Okay so hair chalk isn't just for light coloured hair! Here I used purples and blues on my brunette friend here and it showed up really well! Lastly, I just wanted to show you something different that you can do with hair chalk and here I have used an ombre technique and faded the pink into the ends of my hair. There are so many possabilities with hair c
