My most worn/used make up!( at the moment!)

I'm really into Barry M products at the moment, so I have quite a bit of that brand in here!


The first product that I love at the moment is the Barry  3 in 1 mascara, it curls, lengthens and volumises lashes.  I only got this last week and already love it!  It leaves my eyelashes feeling nice as opposed to crispy/flaky.  I got this in the barry m website for £6.19

I go this Rimmel glam eyes day 2 night mascara last month, it is quite good!  I tend to use both of them as opposed to one or the other as I find my lashes look nicer and more volumised if I use both.  I start with the length one, then put the volume on top.  I got this for £6 on a promotional offer, and am unsure how much it costs now!

I don't use foundation or powder every day, its more for when I'm going out so powders last a long time for me!
I got this NYC matte powder foundation from superdrug for £3, it leaves my face looking nice and more natural than most powders i have used ( although i totally got it a shade darker than i should have so have to put less on lol) .


This rimmel hide the blemish concealer is really good at hiding the redness of spots!! I also put it under my eyes to hide dark circles!!  Im unsure how much this is as I got this a long time ago, but I cant imagine it being more than a few pounds in boots or superdrug!



This rimmel blusher is really good and leaves my cheeks a really nice colour :)

I love this Barry M felt tip eye liner!It stays on quite well and comes out really dark!  I wear this usually at the weekend as I wear very little make up to work.  It also looks nice as a liner along your lower lash line.  This is currently £4.59 on the Barry m website!

I love wearing colours on my eyes!  I got this eye pallet from accessorize for my birthday this year so am unable of the price!  My favourite colours are the gold ( top right corner!) and the greys and blacks are really good for smokey eyes!

Thanks for reading!

My hair essentials!

Hey everyone!

I'm going to show you the 6 hair products that I use every, if not most times that I wash my hair!  I really don't know what I would do without these products!  I will tell you a little about them and the prices to!

I also thought I should tell you that I have loose curly hair, that is is chin length ( I had an inverted bob and its gradually growing!) and a side fringe.  I also very rarely straighten my hair as it is in much nicer condition when I don't use heat on it!)

The first product  I use is this supersoft kids detangling spray!  It really helps with tricky knots and it smells lush!   This was £1.40 from Tesco ( a while back though so prices may be different now!). 
 You spray 10ish sprays ( depending on hair length!) and brush or comb through your hair.





The next product I use is Schwarzkopf Bonacure moisture spray, this is a leave in conditioner that I use every time I wash my hair.
I spray this all over my hair ( only a little on the roots as I find it can make it slightly greasy!)
I got this from superdrug for £7.



I then use Herbal Essences beautiful end protection cream for dry/dull ends.
I put about 1p worth on my hand, rub it between my hands and rub it through the ends or my hair, layers and my fringe.  
This was £1.89 in Boots around 5 months ago.

 After using my hydrating hair bits, I next use Toni and Guy beach curl spray.
I spray about 5 sprays around my head, If you want a more defined curl/ wave spray more, but I find it makes my hair crispy!
This is currently £6.12 in boots and is in the 3 for 2 offer!


I use Tresemme heat protector spray before I dry and straighten my fringe ( and on the odd occasion that i actually straighten my hair!).  It seems to work really well and leave my hair feeling nice!
This is currently £4.99 in boots

My final ( and favourite!) hair product that  I use on a regular basis is Lee Stafford treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length.  I purchased this at the beginning of June after watching a video review on youtube and decided to buy it and give it a go myself.
I am normally very sceptical about buying products that say they help hair growth, but I am very very impressed with this!!  I have been using it for just over 3 weeks and my hair is already noticeably longer( by about 3/4 of an inch!).  Not only has it helped my hair growth, it has made it really soft, and less of my hair is falling out when I brush it!

It recommends shampooing your hair first, then using this between shampooing and conditioning your hair.
You scoop an egg sized amount (I use slightly less due to having short hair!)
Then you massage it into your roots and through the rest of your hair.  It recommends to leave it on for 5 minutes then rinse off, but I sometimes wash my hair when getting in from work, then leave this on as I'm pottering around the flat and wash it off a hour or so later as i find this makes my hair feel really nice!When you first use it it recommends using it every time you wash it, then once you get into the swing of using it and feel/see a difference, use it every now and then.  I now use it every other time I wash my hair and still have great feeling hair!
I got this for £7 in boots and Lee Stafford products are quite often on offer so keep an eye out!!!
