August Favorites

Hi Guys,

So its that time already to do a monthly fave post! I can't believe how fast this year is going its so scary but good at the same time because i love Christmas ha ha. So below are pictures and a description of what it is, what it does and why i love it :) Enjoy...

This is the Yankee Candle in Vanilla Frosting. I got this for my birthday last month of my boyfriend and i love it! It smells so delicious i could eat it, but it wouldn't taste so good ha ha. The scent is so strong but not too strong just so that unlike other cheap scented candles you can actually smell this without having to sit next to it.

This is the Boots Deeply Intensive Moisturizer for Gorgeous Feet. It say it makes your feet soft, smooth, richly hydrated and it lasts 24hrs. Well i have tried so many different foot cream makes and this stuff WORKS!! It is honestly amazing my feet were really bad from wearing sandals and high heels a lot and this made a massive improvement after the first use.  

This is the Loreal Paris Sublime Tan Mist in Medium. When i came back from my holiday in Florida i was pretty tanned and because i live in England there isn't any sun to keep that tan back home so i needed a tanner quick. I had never tried this before but i had heard a lot about it and wanted to give it ago. Up to now i do really like it, it leaves a really nice glow and kept me looking tanned. I didn't go streaky the only thing with this product is it runs out quickly. I'm guessing its because its a mist spray and now like a normal spray or mouse. But all in all i love this product.

This is the Nip and Fab clear tanning gel in medium. It leave a really nice sun kissed glow on your skin and doesn't leave you patchy to say its clear. It also doesn't have the smell of a self tanner which i like too. I don't think i'd repurchase this just for the fact i love trying out others and i have tried others. It was just a tester in a magazine i got. But if any body is wanting to give it a go i would recommend this.

This is my hot water bottle for that time in the month us women know about to well. Need i say anymore. Just a tip if you do have them awful monthly cramps i would recommend getting a hot water bottle it helped me a lot as i get really badly. 

This is a money pot i got from amazon, i got one for my boyfriend too. I love it, its so pretty and it helps me save and not get the money back out of it because you have to smash it to get the money out. So if your looking for a present or you need help saving i would recommend one of these :)

This is the Tigi Catwalk Sleek Mystique shampoo and conditioner. I love this stuff it smells soooooo good sort of sensual :) I like that. It makes your hair super soft and shiny helps the frizz. I have naturally curly hair so it works wonders for me and does help. I heard about this from my hairdresser and when i saw feel unique have a duo offer on and free delivery i just couldn't say no. They also have others so if this one isn't up your alley then try another and feel free to tell me bout it because i love trying out new products.

I hope you enjoyed this months favorites and if you want to see the video i uploaded for this post click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWw4rsQ_V0E and i will speak to you tomorrow,

Hi Guys,

This is me, my mum (tracey), my dad (robert) & my brother in 1996 on a family holiday abroad. I was 2 years old there my mum and dad were together about 14 years and divorced when I was 14. I don't see my dad any more as his family don't want him to see me. I don't have a problem with that my mums a great person and shes like a mum, dad & sister all rolled up into one ha ha.

Mini Haul

Hi Guys,

So today i went to the shopping center with my best friend for a little retail therapy and for my friend a makeover because it ended in me dyeing her hair and styling it ha ha. And here's what i got...

 I absolutely love Yankee candles and how good of a scent they let off and how strong but not too strong they are. At the moment i do have the vanilla frosting which i will be showing in my august faves video but i thought id try out this one and it smells delicious and i want to get the really big one when my other runs out!!

 This is the boots tea tree & witch hazel facial peel strips. I have suffered with really bad blackheads and clogged pores ever since i first started wearing makeup and i also have oily combination skin so that doesn't help. And i have used every blackhead scrub etc in boots but i have heard really good feedback of, of these so i thought i would give them a try and see how they work.

 Now i got these because i am starting college again soon and obviously you need all of these and it cost me £3 woooo! I love a bargain and you can't go wrong with the pound shop i don't care what anybody says ha ha. 

 This is one of the hair accessories i got. I have seen a lot of people wear these and i think they look so good. But im not a girly girl and the pink flowery ones freak me out a little i like black ha ha. So when i saw this for only £2.50!!! I had to get it yay go me :) 

 This was the other hair accessory i got from primark i have got short hair so i have always been really jealous of girls that can wear these but i am having hair extensions put in soon so i can finally give one a go :)

Finally i got this ring from Primark which was in the sale for a £1 i had been checking it out for a while now but didn't know if it was my sort of thing but i must of been feeling daring today and finally got it ha ha. I love primark its my favorite shop my boyfriend calls it the devil because i'm in there every payday spending money :O naughty me! Things are so nice and cheap though :)

Anyway i hope you liked this mini haul and i'm sure there will be a lot more to come because i do A LOT of shopping ha ha. So if you like them stay tuned i post every Wed & Sunday :)

Hair Crimping Short Hair

Hi Guys,

So today i felt fed up with the same old straight hair style and wanted to switch it up and crimp it. I love this look its so simple to do and takes no time at all (probably depending on how much hair you have ha ha) because i have really short hair, especially on one side i sometimes get scared of doing different hairstyles but with the crimped look you can't go wrong! So below are two pictures of what the look, looks like. I love wearing bandannas but i normally wear them if i'm chilling in the house and without if i'm going out with friends.

What you need:

 Vidal Sasoon Maximum Hair Crimper

 Any color Bandanna (optional)

 VO5 Give me texture spray (optional)

 Bobby Pins & Hair Clips for sectioning hair

Tresemme Salon Finish Hairspray

If you guys would like a tutorial on this hair style please comment below and i will upload one onto my You Tube channel.

Mini Haul

Hi Guys,

So this week i went shopping for a few bits at my local shopping retail place, and thought i'd do a mini haul and show you what i got. 

So this is the Barry M Eye shadow Pencil in Gold Cream i bought it in boots for around £5. I have been wanting to try out these color eye shadow pencils for a while because i think they look so good in the inner corner of your eye! So i have used it a couple of times now and i really like it, its really creamy and i love the shimmer it makes your eyes look bigger especially if your wearing a dark smokey eye. I don't think its as blend able as i would like it but it is highly pigmented too so it has more ups than downs.

So this is the Hedgehog Bristle brush in number 101. I got this brush because i am having glued in extensions next month and you need a bristle brush so it doesn't drag your extensions out. I have a couple of the hedgehog products and i really like them so i decided to give this ago.

This is the Boots ingredients coconut & almond leave-in conditioner for normal to dry hair. I got this because

of a couple of reasons 1. It was on offer for £1!!! 2.When i had bleached my hair before i used the intensive mask from this and it was really good so i thought i would give this one a try. I actually used it today for the first time and i do like it, my hair is soft and the ends of my hair don't feel as dry as they normally do. And it smells delicious!!

This is the Tresemme hairdryer that i got from Argos yesterday for about £30 (i think) it came with 2 attachments, 4 hair rollers & a blow out balm which i thought was really good because i love trying out new products. I did use the blow out balm today i could tell a difference with the volume in my hair but i didn't see a difference in anything else. The hair dryer though was very good and dried my hair fast.

Hope you enjoyed my reviews and if there is any other products you know of that you would like a review on leave a comment and i will try and do that for you. Also if you have any of these products then i love hearing your views.
