What's On My Face #1

These are my everyday products used on my face on a general day, if I'm on a night out I could probably double the amount of products photo'd :/ but these give me the right amount of coverage & a comfortable amount of product for my everyday life

After I've cleansed & moisturised I start with the Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfecter Oil Free BB cream in light for a radiant yet matte finish, I then move on to my eyebrows using an angled eyebrow brush & Revlon Vital Radiance Brow Powder in Blonde to fill in my brows, this kit is great as it has two shades as I do like to mix mine up & change the colour sometimes. I then conceal under my eyes & over any(or lots in my case) blemishes & then contour with my Make Believe Bronzer, which is a great dupe for Nars Laguna ! I use my Real Techniques brush for this, going under the cheekbones around the forehead & round my jawline, I then curl my lashes & go for my Sleek Au Naturel pallet & usually go for the first shade with is a pale gold with shimmer all over the lid & under the eye, then take the medium matte brown shade along my crease, using my Real Techniques multi task brush I brush Rimmel Stay Matte in Translucent all over my face :)

Headline Colours Poolside Party

Headline Colours a the brand new, must-have nail color collection following the heartbeat of fashion, offering a capsule collection of only the hottest nail colors based on the very latest fashion trends. A gift in Mays Glossybox I was so excited to try this I received the colour Poolside Party, a bright turquoise, one coat gave great coverage but I used two out of habit, not being able to simply paint my nails one colour I used nail art strips, available from eBay for around £1 ! 

For this look I painted 3 nails gold then applied the strips randomly across the three nails then painted over every nail with the turquoise & left to dry for around 5 mins, took the strips off & covered the nail in clear polish.

I would defiantly recommend this polish, the shades are fashion forward, have great coverage & last for ages !

My Hair History !

This post could be so long it's unbelievable, I've literally had pretty much very colour & style there is, some I'm not very proud of looking back haha. I wanted to do this post mostly as something to look back on when I'm thinking of doing something drastic & realising it may not be a good idea.

I was born with super curly blonde hair which straightened at the age of about 7, I manage to hide away from cameras through my teenage "chavy" stage (thank god) but I've found one with my trademark slick down look :/ I then found dye, I've died my hair bleach blonde, black, brown, ginger & purple to name a few.

At the moment im trying to grow out all the dye & see what's been hiding for so long, so I've got an unintentional dip dye look going on, but at the moment I love it ! & my hair does too its never been so healthy, anyway here's some pictures most of which embarrassing but hey, we've all been there right ?
