August Favorites

Tresemme platinum strength shampoo. 

This shampoo has saved my life. In June I had a stupid stupid idea that "oh I want to be a blonde." Not my best idea. So yep I ruined my hair, I gave myself two months to see if I could try and repair my hair before I had to get it all chopped off. I was only blonde for a month and went back to black. My hair just felt so dry , breaking off and when wet very chewing gum like. Gutted wasn't the word! I see this in superdrug on offer two for £7. Not bad for the size 500ml. So I gave it a go and OMG.... One month later my hair feels like how it did before I bleached it. So soft, shiny and no more breaking off. I can't tell you how much I love this product.  10/10

Tresemme platinum strength conditioner.

So just like the shampoo amazing! Leaves my hair so soft and smells lush. 

 It's says it visibly repairs up to 2 years of damage. Well it's done the job for me, I've used this for a month and still got about 1/4 of the bottle left. 10/10 from me. 

Hydrating macadamia oil by organix. 

It's a dry styling oil, with sugar cane and bamboo extracts. I think this stuff is brilliant, it's really helped with the ends of my hair. I will defiantly be buying this again when I've ran out. All you need to do is once you've finished styling your hair just put a pea sized amount on hand and rub it through your hair and done. Keeps your hair hydrated and shiny. 

Schwarzkopf got 2 be guardian angel heat protecter. 

I've been using this all month even though I've not used heat on my hair for awhile, I just feel happier knowing that I've got some sort of protection on. It's only been this week that I've started to straightening my hair and I don't think I've got a bad thing to say about this product. 229c heat protection thumbs up from me. 

  

Mac face and body foundation. 

So England has had a heatwave end of July and beginning August so I couldn't be bothered to ware any make up but I hate not wearing anything so it was time to bring out the good stuff. 

I buy this every year for the summer. When It's hot I hate putting on a full face of make up. It's so light it feels like I'm not wearing  any thing. And it has good coverage. 

NYX pore filler

It does what it says on the bottle. Love this stuff when I'm getting ready for a night out. Gives me the perfect base and the finish gives me the doll like look. But I would love to try the benefit POREfessional. 

Barry m red black 115

I think I'm getting ahead of myself. I can't wait for autumn. The colour is a nice deep red and I'm already getting in to the Christmas sprit. 

So abit of non beauty Favorites Netflix. 

So that's my August Favorites. Hope you've enjoyed reading this. As I'm writing this I'm watching a bit of WEEDS on Netflix and doing a bit of Christmas shopping. I'm only starting it now because I'm going away at the end of December so saving money for that. Hope your enjoying a lovely Friday afternoon.

My everyday makeup.

Hello, so I think I'm starting to get the whole blogging thing. For the past couple of days I've been thinking of things to do and came up with quite a few. Today's post will be my everyday make up. This one will be what I ware when I'm going to work. I try not to put loads of make up on because its a nice change when I'm not working to look a bit different, 

So I start of with a moisturiser, it's the Nivea daily essential light moisturising day cream. I love this cream it leaves my face feeling so soft. I have really sensitive skin that's a pain. It goes from really dry or quite oily, so it's hard to find things that my skin won't come up in a rash or anything. This has been really good for me. I've been using this for about 3 months and very very good so far. 

Next I use a face primer. At the moment I'm trying out the NYC smooth perfecting primer in shade 684. It's ok but I'm still on the look out for a new one so if anyone knows one for me please let me know. 

Then I start with my foundation. I use MAC studio fix fluid, in shade NC20. Love this foundation no matter how many I try out I always go back to this. Always has the best coverage. 

Then it's time to hide those unwanted under eye bags and any little breakout that are there. I'm using NYX HD photogenic concealer. This is pretty good I've only been using this for about 3 weeks and so far so good. It's in shade light.

 

Now I set my foundation and concealer with powder. I use the NYX mineral set it, don't fret it matte finishing powder. I'm loving this stuff. Its  loose powder so yes it can be messy, but the finish is so good. I use the shade light/medium. 

Now it's time for the eye brows. A couple of years ago I always missed this step and now look back thinking why did I never do this. I've only ever used the sleek brow kit in light. I'm thinking about trying something new but I'm not sure what. This kit is so simple and easy to use. It does come with mini brushes but they fell out one day and I've never been able to fine them, so I had to buy some new brushes. But I find I can use the long handle  brushes so much better. 

Next I use NYX jumbo eye pencils. I use iced mocha on my water line and a bit of sparkle nude on my lids. I smudge it in a little just to give my eyes a bit of colour. 

Now I use a highlighter. I've used so many in the past from powder to cream. I keep going back to the same one. I got this one free with Christmas set and its only small bottle but lasted ages. It's benefits sun beam.

Then I put on mascara. I'm always on the look out for a new mascara. This one I've bought about 6 times. But my mind always wanders when a new one come out and I still go back to it. It's Bourjois volume clubbing mascara in ultra black. I love this stuff it always makes my eyelashes look so long and thick and makes my eyes look bright. 

Now it's time to add a bit of bronzer to my face. I used to use this a while ago and I'm not sure why I stopped using it. It's the Bourjois chocolate bronzer. I had this awhile and I do use it a lot and there's still loads left. 

  

Finally is my lips. I never really put anything on my lips just a bit of carmex throughout the day, but since the Rimmel apocalips came out I've finally found something that looks good on me. Everytime I try a lipstick on I always think It never suits me but this stuff is good. I'm wearing the shade nude eclipse. 

So that's what I use every day. Thank you for reading this post. And I'm looking forward for any recommendations anyone got. Hope your having a lovely Monday ( especially if you don't work in a shop and had to work today. ) as I've just gone back to work today from having two weeks holiday. I didn't even know it was a bank holiday weekend till last weekend. Speak to you soon.

My top 5 nail varnish

Nails Nails Nails... What can I say I love the fact that they can make an outfit or change with the seasons. With me

I just feel so much better when I've done my nails. I'm a sucker for autum and winter colours, in my collection, I will do a post on you will see I've got more brown and neutral colours than the pretty pastel colours you would see in the spring and summer. So less with the chatter and I will show you. 

No.1 The most seen on blogs and YouTube is Barry M Mushroom. 

Love love love this colour. For me I can were this everyday and never get sick of it, you can wear it with so many outfits and looks so simple and nice. But I'm sure you've read so many reviews on this  so I won't bore you. 

No.2 very simler to Barry M Mushroom is Topshop's Big Smoke. 

This is the first neutral colours I've got and I still wear this so much. I pretty much were this on my toes all year round. I've got about four of these as back ups because when ever I got in to the Topshop near me they never have it so I'm not sure if they still sell them. I think I would cry if they have. 

No.3 is models own in party pieces

This is a nail paint that is really in your face when you put it on. It's so nice I wear it most nights out. I don't think I've found many big glitter nail paints that really look good without putting loads of coats and then it takes forever to dry. 

No.4 Barry M Black Multi glitter. 

This one is my most worn nail paint this year. I think everytime I paint my nails ( I do it once a week) I always pick this up first  one I put on my nails. Is a simple black but with a little sparkle. 

No.5 Another Barry M ( can't remember the name because its rubbed off.) Green glitter.

This is my favourite colour to wear over Christmas, it just looks and makes me feel very christmasy. It's just a nice green colour with some gold,blue and green sparkles to it.

Thank you for reading this it was my first post and I hope you've enjoyed it.
