No.38 - Makeup brushes

2012-02-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

My favorite makeup brushes

these are my three ultimate go to brushes

1. models own angled brush -

i use this brush for my eye browns, the models own collection are not to be over looked! i have had this brush for about two years and as far as i am aware, there has been no shedding and it is in as good of quality as when new. it is the perfect slimness and just amazing for the eye brown shape i have.

2. Models own Eye shading brush

This is the best all around eye shadow brush i have ever used, and trust me i have used a few! perfect for blending creases and amazing for just pushing on colour. once again never had any problems and cleans up very well.

3. Primark small brush

i got this brush as a present last year and have never looked back. looking at it, it looks cheep and horrible to be quite frank, But the hair are soft and perfect for concealer and cleans up well with no problems.

all of the above brushes are all under £4 ! Amazing huhhh :)

No.36 - January favorites

Red jeans - versace

i got this in the christmas sale, i needed an everyday perfume for college that i wouldnt mind putting in the bottom of my bag that didn't cost a lot. i found this for £10 in boots and actually i really like the smell.!

Pantene pro-v split end serum

this has saved my life!! smells amazing and leaves my hair and extensions in amazing condition. good alternative to moroccan oil and only about £3

Soap and glory - sexy mother pucker

Leaves my lips soft and plump, use everyday in the morning after foundation, leaving it to soak into the lips before lipstick.

Sleek pallet - storm

my favorite pallet i think. i have used to death and will for a few months ahead.

Scharzkopf hair shine.

Amazing smell and leaves hair glossy and shiny. also helps to repair the hair.

Wilkinson face wipes

its been a bit of a tight month, so i found these 2 for £1. they have cleared my skin up and really make my skin feel healthy. unlike other face wipes i don't feel like my skin is dry after.

let me know if you like the monthly favorites so i know to do them again <3

No.37 - Every day foundation

2012-02-08T13:00:00.000-08:00

Everyday foundation

Loreal true match -

this is the lighter to the two main foundations that i use. it has good coverage and really does match to your skin tone.

Revlon Photoready

this foundation is beautiful and 100% give your flawless skin in photos. as i sometimes wear tan and never have the same colour tan (due to layering) i would always look at my foundation and worry that it wouldn't match perfectly. so i brought darker tan colour to mix with the lighter (true match by loreal) foundation. that way i can mix the two colours to order, so to speek.

Side note ...

as these are quite a matt foundations sometimes i want more of a dewy glow. i simply add a small amount of this liquid illuminator by revlon and it gives me a healthy glow

No.35 - colour block makeup

2012-02-08T10:44:00.000-08:00

No.35 - Colour block make-up

once again i have used the sleek circus pallet, this time i used the sky blue and white.

1. lightly use the white shadow all over the eyes to create an even base for the blue to sit.

2. using a fluffy brush and the blue shadow, put it through the socket blending lightly.

3. take a small amount of the blue under the eye

4. apply a small amount of black liquid liner to the top lash line and apply mascara

5. for the lips i just used barryM - 145

i love the contrast between the pink and the blue, this would also look nice with pink and green which rihanna has been wearing recently.

No.34 - Orange eyes

I have been going sort of crazy experimenting with my make-up recently. with the cold months and snow i have just been going for browns, blacks and golds, quite frankly Im getting bored of it. Looking in magazines and seeing all of the spring colours and trend coming into shops, i got inspired :)

This was so easy to achieve ! Using the orange colour from the sleek circus pallet, i pushed the colour onto the eye blending to the socket. Thats it for the eyes! simple ey ?

For the lips i used 14-mango tango from collection 2000. using my finger i pushed of the eye shadow onto my lips using my finger. add a clear gloss and you good to go.

This works with any lipstick and eyeshadow combination :)

Hope this gives you inspiration enough to spice up your makeup thing spring... when it gets here.

No.33 - Armor nails

2012-02-05T13:47:00.000-08:00

Armor nails

well sort of... they remind me of a shield that a viking would of had or something lol.

How i did them

1. put on some plain fake nails and shaped them, i went for a more rounded shape as i fancied a change

2. using collection 2000 hot looks - 27 wham , painted a few layers till opaque.

3. using nail gems placed them down the middle of the nail on all of the nails, while the final nail varnish coat was tacky.

DONE!

Hope these inspire you to create the armor look without having to buy accessories.

No. 31 - my current favorite fake tan

2012-02-04T15:22:00.000-08:00

No. 31 - My current favorite fake tan

Ok .. i know its snowing in england, but hey-ho who doesn't love a little tan. I guess Im quite lucky in the way that most people think Im some sort of mixed race and it comes off as natural. i wish !!! as far as i know, all my family are either from liverpool or birmingham, which are about as exotic as an plate of fish and chips.

So ... back to the tan. i have tried so many tans and they are either ORANGE or last about 4 hours before going patchy. so after searching and searching i found someone talking about using spray tan solution on a tanning mitt. What a clever idea. not only is it super cheap but its designed to last a long time on the skin.

i went into my local sallys and the only one they had was in a bottle about half the size of my body. i started looking on ebay and found a selling that sells a product called 'liquid sunshine'. they are in a large selection on shades and size bottles... i decided to get the bottle of 500ml. which was about £8 ? i got this at the end of november and i have just over 1/4 of a bottle left! Amazing value and amazing product.

i have spent the last half an hour finding the ebay seller and they don't currently have any listings but keep an eye out!

No.27 - How i get my hair so red

2012-01-30T09:57:00.000-08:00

No.27

What i use on my hair to get it so red

first of all i bleach my hair. just to put this out there, only do this if you dont have a lot of previous colour in, its even better if you havent dyed your hair before as your hair will not be as porous. Try not to over lap the bleaching as this can cause your hair to break.

This bleach is from superdrug in the UK. i normally by them when they are on offer and get deals like 3 for £7.99 or 2 for 4.99

this is just the same as a branded hair lifter.

i sometimes mix this with conditioner.

I then use crazy colour. Lots of people ask me if my hair is in bad condition because of the bleach and crazy colour. to tell you the truth it probably would be, but i do keep it well. with working in a hair dressers, i do get it cut every 5 weeks and always put conditioning treatments on.

it says on the bottle to leave it about 15 mins but i leave it on for as long as i want really. this is liturally just a conditioner with food colouring. ok not liturally. if has no peroxide in, so quite safe. this stains like crazy! always wear gloves :)

This also works amazing on darker hair, a friend from work has naturally dark hair and she puts it on that. it just gives a dark red glossy shine to the hair that can be washed out :)

Once again i get this for a bargain. i used to buy it in sallys but it cost about £6.95 a bottle. i then started to get it from a local beauty suppliers and it was about £4.00. i then check out ebay and found a seller who sells 4 bottles for only £10.50 that is with the postage as well ! so about 2.60 each. i will post a link bellow :)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110786385928?var=410048394380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_963wt_700

Teeth Whitening

Alot of people ask me "how are your teeth so white?"

Well it it the infamous crest white strips!

there are good points and bad so i thought i would let you know...

this picture is horibal but just wanted to show that it is not make up trickery :)

They are not perfect but they are quite white :)

And this is how i did it ^^^

all i did was put one of the top and one on the bottom every 3 days. you are ment to use every day but i found my teeth were very sensitive. even hearing someone say 'cotton wool' would make me feel sick and began dreaded eating. i stopped using them for about a month and then started again every 3 days. i got a box of 30 pouches if i remember correctly. i got them from Ebay for £20. i still have a few left too.

Hope this helps :)
