The lob

Hi!

As someone who rarely gets a haircut (oops) and usually has fairly long hair getting a haircut is a big deal for me, normally only ever getting cut off the least amount as possible not wanting to loose my long locks. However, recently my long hair has been such a hassle and it was getting very unhealthy... So I jumped into the deep end (well for me anyway) and got myself a lob! Here's the finished result...

I completely love it! Now my hair is SO soft and healthy and very easy to maintain.

Thanks for reading this short post, be back soon!

Bye for now.

Eye Shadow Palette's

Cashmere Eye Shadows - £6 Next

Barry M Super Shadow & Primer Palette - £6.49 Superdrug

Hi! 

I've been really eye shadow crazy at the moment, I love mixing and blending colours together to make unique styles especially during the festive season with all the Christmas parties! 

I'm super happy I found this eye shadow palette in Next, it's the same colours as one of the Urban Decay range but so much more cheaper! The eye shadows last all day without needing to be refreshed and the colours are wonderfully pigmented.

The Barry M eye shadow palette comes with a primer however, this primer is disappointing. It crumbles and leaves the eyeshadow to look tacky. On their own, the eyeshadows are beautiful, there's a lovely range of colours including a sparkly golden shade perfect for party season. High street eye shadow palette's are definitely getting better and I am becoming more impressed with them each time a try a new one.

What are your favourite high street eye shadows? 

Thanks for reading!

Been away a while.

Hi!

As you've probably noticed I've been away from blogging for quite a while. I had to take a break as I just had a huge amount of university work, filming, editing, pitching, building sets, travelling! Also, at the weekends i've been busy at work, I decided to take a break until I was able to get my work into flow and work out how to balance university work, a job, a social life and my blog! I've finally made a plan therefore... i'm back! 


Where have I been? 

Follow me on Instagram ! I post pretty much everyday of what I'm up to / where I am. Take a look at my Twitter too.

In November I had the opportunity to go to Amsterdam for the IDFA (International Documentary Film festival Amsterdam) the documentaries I watched were incredible and Amsterdam itself was a beautiful place.

Just a few snippets from Amsterdam! Let me know if you'd like a full post on the trip!

So that's it really, sorry for being away for so long but now I shall be back to blogging every week (hopefully more than once a week)

Bye for now!

Mini Haul

Hi! 

Recently, I went for a wander around town and these's are a few of the goodies I picked up:

Snow Fairy shower gel - Lush [x]

Seventeen Stay Pout (It's a Kiss off) - Boots [x]

Maybelline 24h colour tattoo (Metallic Pomegranate) - Superdrug [x]

Seventeen 'Phwoarr' paint (heavy duty eye concealer) - Boots [x]

Seventeen Glitter Nail Effects (Green) - Boots [x] (similar)

Lush have recently brought out their Christmas range (Yay Christmas!!) and I decided to go along and pick up the Snow Fairy shower gel, I always see so many people talk about how gorgeous the smell is and that it's a must have and they aren't wrong! It's the most lovely smell (literally of sweets) ! It has sparkles mixed in too which creates a beautiful purple swirl inside the bottle.

Boots are currently doing a 3 for 2 on Seventeen (cheapest product free) So I decided to take a browse around the range. I've been looking for a Autumn lipstick and I found the most perfect colour for me 'It's a Kiss off' from the 'Stay Pout' Seventeen range is such a gorgeous dark pink. It's a matte lipstick and honestly, it's amazing. I've been wearing it all day without having to top it up, at all (even after drinking copious amounts of tea) I am so pleased I purchased this lipstick.

The next product I picked up from the Seventeen range is the 'Phwoarr Paint' "The One. The hard core concealer to wage war on under eye circles" I have always been troubled with dark circles under my eyes, I've tried so many different concealers but none ever seem to hide them, this concealer is a DREAM. I got it in the Fair shade and it really does wage war on my dark circles. My eyes look more away and brighter and the concealer itself comes in a little compact with a mirror so I carry it around in case I ever need to cover up on the go.

The final product I bought from the Seventeen range was the Glitter Nail effect varnish, I decided to go with Green sparkles because Christmas is just around the corner and I thought it would be perfect to get into the Christmas spirit. 

As well as a perfect Autumn lipstick I've also been looking for the perfect Autumn eyeshadow. I've seen many positive reviews on the blogosphere about the Maybelline 24hr colour tattoo so I decided to take the plunge myself and try it out. I got it in the shade 'Metallic Pomegrante' which is a beautiful burgundy/brown shade with a lovely shimmer. I'll do a Make up post soon showing what it looks like!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post.

What make up have you picked up recently? 

Bye for now! :)

Tea Tree Treats

Hi! I hope you've all had a lovely week, mines been full of exciting film projects which I am SO excited to start work on. Today's post is a review of two tea tree products which I have been loving recently.

Tea Tree products are a definite must have. They work wonders on spots/blemishes tea tree oil helps to get rid of blackheads (which are a nightmare) ! It also leaves your skin feeling super soft after.

Tea Tree Foaming Facial Wash [x]  - Superdrug £3.29

"Helps to promote a clearer , healthier - looking complexion."  
I've been using this product every morning (for about three weeks now) and I can definitely tell the difference. My skin feels more hydrated, yet not too oily it also makes my skin look and feel more awake, helping out with those darn bags under my eyes! The directions say to use one or two pumps (I find that one is enough) and as soon as you wash it off and feel your skin you notice how wonderful this product is, SUPER soft skin! I can really tell a difference after using this product, my skin has been looking healthier (I've even received a few compliments) a definite recommendation from me.

Ignore my terribly chipped nail varnish (whoops)

Tea Tree Face Mask - [x] The Body Shop £10 

"Instantly cools and lifts away impurities." 
As soon as you apply this face mask you can feel it cooling your skin already (its a strange feeling) but the outcome of this face mask is amazing! Instructions say to leave on for 10-15 minutes I left it on for the latter and when I went to wash it off I looked in the mirror and could see the 'impurities' that the face mask brings out. I really liked the texture of the mask itself unlike the Lush face mask which I reviewed here it has a lovely thick (paint like) texture which for me, feels SO nice, I really enjoyed applying this product it was rather soothing! This again I would absolutely recommend to anyone that like me gets terrible black heads or if you're just looking for a new face mask to try!


Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post. 


What are your favourite tea tree products / facemasks? 


Bye for now! :)

Favourite lip products

Hi! I thought I'd make a post on my favourite lip products. I adore lipsticks/gloss but find it so hard to find the perfect ones, here are a few of my favourites.

1. Nivea hydro care [x]  I'll start off with lip care. This is a long lasting lip moisturiser which works wonders! I always have it on me, it keeps me from having dry lips, it's super quick and smooth to apply and it even protects your lips from sun burn. 

2. Limited Collection GLOSS (Antique Rose) [x] This too is a product that never leaves my bag. It can come on a little bit thick at times but this lipgloss is long lasting and perfect for a minimal make up look (which I always tend to go for during the summer time) It also comes in a cute shade of pink too. 

3. AVON colour trend lipstick [x] This was given to me by a friend a while back and it's perfect for a night out. It's long lasting (even after a few drinks) and it doesn't tend to smudge. The only down side to this product is that it takes a while to apply it properly. 

4. Rimmel London Kate Lasting Finish (Kate Moss collection) [x] This lipstick is AMAZING it literally lasts all day without having to reapply it. It's perfect for everyday wear. I got number 22 which is Rouge and it even smells slightly of cherries! This is my favourite lipstick I have ever purchased and I would definitely recommend adding something from the Kate Moss lipstick collection to your makeup bag! 

I hope you enjoyed reading! What are your favourite lip products? 

Bye for now! :)
