Duped?

So I have a new addiction and it is Pinterest! Wow so much fun and so addictive wasn't something i ever though I'd like but its great. I especially like all the hair and beauty pins (strangely!) And there are so many pins and board's about dupe products. So for the last few weeks I've been pinning my heart out and looking for some good recommendations and doing a bit of shopping so I'll do a detailed post about my new buys in the next few days 

Its a revolution!

So, I have been a very bad blogger but then I got caught up in the buzz which is the new brand, Make Up Revolution and I just had to try it and write all about it! I'd heard great things about this online and watched a few you tube vids to see what all the fuss was about. The main thing that stood out was how much hype about the palettes being great duplicates for the urban decay brand in particular the Naked series. I am a huge fan of urban decay, although I like to try new products more out of curiosity so although this interested me I just really wanted to buy and try some things from the line for myself. So I did. I ordered the Iconic 3 palette, this looked like quite a neutral palette but with some darker shades which I like for everyday use. I also got the Baked Highlighter in Pink Lights, blusher in Wow! and lipstick in beloved. The total for my order was £12.95 including delivery which I thought was very reasonable.  It did take  a few days for shipment confirmat...

First of the packaging is pink so right there is a winner ;) they have so many different products too from shampoo to styling sprays to heat protection.  Making keeping your hair looking fab easy peasy. The line is really well priced too which is a big bonus and often they are on specials like 3 for 2 ;-). I purchased hair spray shampoo and conditioner and heat protect spray. I have a natural curl in my hair which can cause frizziness so I got the smoothly does it shampoo and conditioner this is fab smells amazing and my hair looks so smooth and shiny once I've blown it dry. I always got the strong hold hairspray which is weather resistant great for this time of year. It doesn't leave my hair sticky and can be brushed out easily. Heat protection is a must for me as I use straighteners occasionally. This has a...

Girls Night Out beauty tips

Seen as its Friday, and I happen to be having a girls night out tonight I thought I'd do a post about getting glammed up! Before you do anything moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Pay special attention to around your mouth and eye area. I like to give myself a mini massage as this gets the blood flowing and stimulates a natural glow :) Let this soak into your skin for at least 5 - 10 minutes... Make sure your brows are looking perfect, I usually tweeze after a shower as the pores are open and its less painful, fill in any gaps with your favourite brow pencil/shader. Apply a medium shade of colour from lashline to crease and use a darker shade in the crease to create some drama and take this up toward the brow bone, blending all the time! This should accentuate your eyes and make the colour pop. (Use whatever colours you desire) Eyeliner is a girls best friend, well, mine anyway. Lining your eyes is a great touch and you can go crazy with colours and sparkles. You can also...

First impressions last so as well as looking your best with your outfit make up is just as , if not, more, important! You want to convey your attention to detail and neatness, look smart and these are all key to your appearance. I always feel more confident when I look my best and this will come across to your interview panel. I like to keep it simple. Wash and dry your hair the night before, or the morning of the interview, depending on your routine and ensuring your not late!

Exfoliate your skin the night before and put on lip balm to ensure your lips are nice and soft for the interview day. I really like the benefit big beautiful eyes palette and the too faced romantic palette. Give yourself plent...

Clean & Clear Facial Wash

So I decided I wanted to get a new face wash and after looking at some different products and reviews I went for the clean and clear facial morning energy wash. The packaging is bright orange so that caught my attention right away! It also has a pump lid which I really like as you can use a little and it goes a long way. The smell is amazing, it really wakes me up in the morning its so fresh and feels great on your skin. I do use this at night as well, I've been using it for three weeks now and I would really recommend it. I feel like it leaves a nice glow to my skin as well. It's nice and gentle and contains vitamin c and ginseng.     150ml cost me £3.00 which is great for the amount and brand :)
