Personalising My Blogging Area | Fox In The Snow Designs

Morning everyone!

This week has been the worst week or the year so far, I came down with tonsillitis and I've never felt so run down!
All I could think about whilst being wrapped up in my duvet feeling sorry for myself, was how I wouldn't be able to write any posts for you lovely lot, however, I am now back and feeling okay(ish) but I wanted to take some time to write up this post for you all which is long overdue!

So, a few weeks ago I had a big sort out in my bedroom as I wanted to create a blogging area for myself to work in, sort of like my own little office in the corner of my room, as I already had a spare table in my room it didn't take me long to accomplish this however I thought my blogging corner looked a bit plain and boring, therefore I went on the hunt for some ornaments, office stationary, the lot!
I had been having a YouTube day in my room a few days later where I paid close attention to YouTubers backgrounds in their videos and saw that quite a few Vloggers had personalised wall art hung up and I thought it was a great idea to look into myself.
After having a quick browse on my trusty 'DEPOP' app, I discovered a guy called Jamie Dixon who created unique, personalised prints and right away I sent him a request, a day or two later he had already designed me something as an example, I immediately loved it and clicked the 'BUY' button.

Jamie Dixon is a designer, he works for a brand called 'Fox In The Snow Design' where he creates personalised prints, his work is fab and he is a very talented guy!
I worked with him on Depop, however he does have his own website which if you click  here you can be taken to.

I was really happy with my personalised print that I had ordered, it looks great on my wall.
I also got two other prints which were ones that had already been designed but I love the quotes on these prints and thought they made perfect sense and related well to my blogging and my own personal beliefs.


All these prints are printed onto high quality card and gets delivered to your door without being bent, ripped or creased, the prints are packaged very carefully.


I'm not 100% done with my blogging area yet, I still have a few more ideas, however I already love my blogging corner, its great for me as it gives me my own space, I have everything I need in one area, I can sit down properly and work in a calm, quiet environment.

Fox In The Snow is a great and extremely professional company who put there customers first, I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

I hope you enjoyed reading,
speak soon but for now have a fab week!

Love

Timeless Truth Luxury Face Masks | Review

Good morning!!!!

Sorry I have not been as active on my blog lately, I finally found myself a new job after being very depressed at my old work place from being treated like muck, so I have been focusing on that for a week or so, but now I have three days off and at last I can sit down with a brew and share with you my latest review..

The brand I am reviewing today is a skin care brand called 'Timeless Truth'.
Timeless Truth create a wide range of face masks which have different purposes and help to improve different types of skin problems, and this is the mask I went for..


It was really hard to get a clear picture of the packaging, however I chose the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask. The name of this mask caught my attention straight away as I have very fair skin which can sometimes make my skin look lifeless and dull so this sounded like the perfect match for me!

About the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask:
The bamboo charcoal extract in this mask is highly absorbent and has a deep cleansing effect. This mask helps to brighten, smoothe and hydrate the skin, it is also good for congested skin.

Congested skin - 'Skin with large pores and blackheads'.

This mask retails for £4.90 which is a bargain!


Please excuse my poor attempt of applying this mask!

This is what the masks looks like once applied to the face, this mask smelt soooooo good!
I was really impressed with the amount of serum that was in the packet, this is always good in case you want to add extra serum onto the face before applying the mask, obviously that meant that the mask also had a lot of serum soaked into it but not to the extent where it made my skin feel sticky.
This mask felt great on my skin, some cloth masks I've tried have felt awful on the skin but this cloth was so thin it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The mask was easy to apply and stayed on my face instead of peeling off which I thought may of happened but I was proven wrong, I could tell this was a good quality mask as soon as I applied it.

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes whilst I had a soak in the bath, the whole time I wore the mask my skin felt so refreshing.
The serum washed off really easy once I removed the cloth mask, my skin felt so hydrated once I had washed off any excess product.
Now I know your not going to see improvement by using these masks only once but I must say my skin looked glowing once dry, I normally have a bit of dry skin on areas of my face but this took all that away!

I would honestly use these masks once a week and I guarantee my skin would improve in no time!

If you would like to get your hands on one of these masks you can check out the Timeless Truth website by clicking HERE

Thank you so much for reading my post.
I hope you all have a fab week!

OK Bouquet | Review

If you haven't heard of OK Bouquet, they are an online florist - they deliver luxurious bouquets throughout the UK.
They guarantee next day delivery which is really impressive as well as being handy for anyone ordering a bouquet to be delivered to a loved one on time for a special occasion.

OK Bouquet have a wide selection of bouquets on their website over at - okbouquet.com
Prices vary for all bouquets therefore they are affordable for anyone whether you are on a budget or want the dearest bunch out there!

I was extremely lucky to be sent a bouquet of my choice from the lovely team at OK Bouquet. It didn't take long for me to decided which bouquet I wanted out of their huge selection.
I had my eye on these stunning roses that I knew I had to have!

Their bouquets are truly stunning and are beautifully packaged and delivered safely, on time and in one piece - what more could you want?!

I chose the Premium Black Baccara Long Stem Roses, which I thought looked so unique and unlike any roses I have seen before.
I learnt that black roses are often associated with magic, mystery, rebirth and new beginnings, a fun fact for you all! :-)

These roses are priced at £40 for 1 dozen roses or £75 for 2 dozen roses, you also get to chose from a variety of foliage to go with your flowers which is included in the price.
Before my bouquet arrived I thought that the prices were way to high but now I have seen these precious roses in the flesh I can totally understand the prices.
They are so worth the money you pay, they are such high quality compared to the cheap bunches you pick up at supermarkets.


This is how the flowers were when I opened the parcel, which by the way was a huge box which is great as the flowers aren't squished in small packaging. They were arranged beautifully, you can really tell this company has a huge passion for what they do and take care to make each bouquet unique. 

I know by the name of these 'black' roses, people expect them to be pure black however they are red but with an extremely dark tone to them, making them look almost black. The colour of these roses look different under different
lighting, for example if I display them in the window, the light reflects on them, making them appear more red. If I put them in a place with no light they look a lot more darker, either way they still look heavenly.

On the website the description explains that the rose petals are 'velvety' and that couldn't be anymore accurate. These petals feel incredible, so soft and the colour of the petals against the velvety texture is exquisite.


When I first opened up the box, I found that around one of the rose stems was the greetings card that you can personalise with your own words.




I had a lovely note on my card from the company which I thought was so sweet.
Also another thing I noticed was that also attached to the string was more card with care instructions and tips on which I think is really handy as that's not something I come across a lot, if at all when I purchase bouquets.

My mum helped me arrange my flowers into a vase (your never to old for help off your mother)!
When we took the bouquet out of the box there was a compartment which the bottom of the stems were placed in to keep them fresh whilst in the packaging.
When placed in the vase they looked so stunning I was blown away!
Here they are in the vase, arranged very nicely by my mother...


We took them outside to arrange in the garden so you could see the true colour of these roses in natural lighting.


I decided to keep them in the living room to save them being destroyed by insects or even being stolen which wouldn't surprise me as they are so beautiful after all!
They look fab in my living room under the window and today (two days later) they still look like new.
I will be intrigued to see how long these flowers last, hopefully a long time!

This company is absolutely fab and a true 10/10!

I recommend anyone to look into this company and check out their website, these bouquets would make fantastic gifts for any occasion or even just to treat yourself, go on I know you want to ;-)

Thank you for reading, I hope you all have a fab weekend.
Speak soon ladies!

FUNKY FESTIVAL/RAVE MAKEUP & HAIR..

Hello everyone!

Today's post is inspired by the festival season which is now approaching us..
I have never been to a festival before simply because I just haven't got round to going to one, however I was truly inspired by all the YouTube 'Coachella' makeup looks that beauty guru's were re-creating and that got me keen to try and create a makeup look myself, that could be worn to a festival and really make you stand out!

As so many people are getting excited over the festivals that are lined up this year, I wanted to give you girls (and guys even) some inspiration in the makeup & hair department..

When I think of festivals, I think of everyone getting together to celebrate music, having a laugh and letting your hair down, leaving all the stress of reality at the field gates! Therefore I created a fun makeup look which can be easily created by anyone whether your a pro or a learner..
My sister also did my hair for me (she's very talented) using a curling wand to create big curls to add volume to my hair.

So what are you waiting for, scroll down to see my finished look..




I went for a bronzed look as I wanted to really stand out and have that 'natural glow' look to my face.
I used a pale concealer for my under eyes and centre of my forehead to create highlighted areas and add some brightness to my face, as I am normally very pale and have 0 colour! The concealer I highly recommend for pale skin is the Collection - lasting perfection concealer in the shade Fair, its inexpensive and works just as good as any high end concealer, great for if your on a budget!


I am so pleased with how my eye makeup turned out!
I watched endless videos on YouTube for how to create a funky neon eye look and when it came to me doing it, I just went for it and made it all up as I went along, and it wasn't bad for my first attempt!

I don't normally wear bright colours like the ones I used in this look, but after seeing how successful this eye look turned out, I may have to experiment with colour a bit more!

I used so many products for the eyes, I cant even remember half of them, however one product I will point out which I have been raving about lately is my MAC Cosmetics Chromaline eyeliner in the shade 'Basic Red', this eyeliner glides on like a dream and you only need the tiniest amount of product on your brush, a little really does go a long way! And as for pigmentation, of course its highly pigmented, its MAC after all - nothing but the best!


For my lips I used one of my all time favourite MAC lipsticks, which is the recently new Miley Cyrus Viva Glam II, this colour is sooooooo bright, its a red lipstick with a slight hint of orange so when your in different lighting the colour looks different shades of red!

So that was my festival inspired makeup and hair look..
I hope you enjoyed reading..

Let me know in the comments below if your going to any festivals this year & send me your makeup looks!

Have a brilliant week and I will catch up with you all soon!

Glo & Ray | Date Night Makeup Look

Hi everyone, hope your all having a great week, glad to be back with another makeup look to share with you.

As we all know Valentine's Day has just passed and I hope you all had a great day, whether you spent it with your partner or your loved ones, I was single for Valentine's Day so it was a lonely one for me, however I spent some much needed quality time with my family so it was still a great day overall!

I wanted to create a makeup look dedicated to Valentine's Day, however as that special occasion has already passed I thought it would be just as good to create a date night look.

I was sent over some goodies from Glo & Ray who are a British Cosmetics Company who make a phenomenal range of makeup suitable for everyone and anyone!


I previously worked with Glo & Ray back in summer last year ( Balloon Pop Review ) and I just love this company, the team are so friendly and really believe in my work which makes me so thankful and blessed, so thank you team G&R :-) !!!

The first product I have been loving is the Mariposa Quartet Eyeshadow Quad in 'Golden Dunes'. This eye palette consists of four vibrant, neutral, shimmer shades which illuminate the eyes.
These eye shadows are long lasting and smudge proof so you don't need to worry about having to top up your makeup half way through the day!
There are so many eye looks you can create with this palette as well as mixing the eyeshadows together to create your own unique shade.


I then used the Lasting Silky Eyeliner in the shade 303 - 'Golden Age',a stunning, shimmery bronze liner which is so pigmented and makes your eyes pop, giving them a smoky effect at the same time! This is probably my favourite eyeliner that I own now, I have used Glo & Ray eyeliners in the past and all of them stay put and don't move or smudge like most eyeliners I've tried and tested.
This eyeliner really is 'Lasting' as it says in the name.

These products worked perfectly for my date night look and I normally am never 100% satisfied with my makeup but by using these products they gave me the confidence I needed to finally believe that I looked beautiful.

And here is the final look..


I used eyeliner to add to my bronzed eye makeup, I wanted a dramatic eye with a nude, toned down lip. I think by creating a dramatic eye look with a nude lip drew all the attention to the eyes which is what I was trying to achieve.


I really enjoyed experimenting with these two products and working with Glo & Ray for a second time!

If you would like to try out these products for yourself to see the amazing results I saw then you can find them over on the Glo & Ray website by clicking HERE.

Thank you for reading.
See you soon for more beauty posts.

Kylie Jenner | Golden Globes After Party Inspired Makeup Look

Hellllllllllllllllllo, hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday!
 
I am here with an inspired makeup look to share with you all.
Lately I have been seeing the same images ALL OVER social media of the beautiful Kylie Jenner and the look that she absolutely rocked during the 2016 Golden Globes after party that recently took place, not only was her makeup on point but her outfit was stunning, she just looked like a bronzed goddess and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who was 'well jel'.
 

 
I seem to find myself going back to these pictures a lot lately and admiring the makeup look she went for, not only does it give off a sexy vibe but its at the same time very simple, she stuck with a plain, nude lip and all the attention was drawn to her eyes and bold eyebrows!
 
Since I just cant take my eyes of these photos that have been taking up my Instagram like crazy, I thought it would be the perfect time to do a celebrity inspired makeup look for you guys.
 
So I attempted to recreate this look to the best of my ability and it was pretty straight forward as most products were bronze shades and I am addicted to bronzing my face up so it felt right to go with this look as it fits my 'makeup taste' very well.
 
 
I loved creating this look as my skin just looked perfectly glowy afterwards and its always fun to do celebrity looks in my opinion!
 
As for the hair I thought it was such a different change for Kylie as she's 90% of the time got her hair down or up in a messy ponytail, this was something different and I think this sleek and polished bun really showed her eyes off more and made the whole look come together.
I hate the shape of my face so unfortunately this hairstyle did not suit me one bit, but it was fun experimenting with styles that are out of my comfort zone, however its safe to say I wont be recreating this hair style again.
 
 
Creating the bronzed eye makeup was a walk in the park for me as I mainly use bronze shades for my eyes on a daily basis, although I did find it a bit difficult to create the darker shades in the outer corners of my eyes. I went for a more toned down eye look as I knew if I went over it to much I would end up messing it up, therefore I had to stop before it all went wrong.
 
 
I liked creating the simple nude lip as its different to what I would normally go for, I prefer more of a dramatic nude lip like Kylie Jenner normally goes for but I liked changing it up and testing out some lip glosses that had been abandoned in my makeup drawer, for my lips I used the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche J Lo lip shade called Barely Greige which is stunning as it doesn't have much of a bold colour to it, its more of a lip gloss but in the form of a lipstick with a nude tint to it, this lip product is also very affordable for only £6.99 from Boots, I would recommend any makeup lover to give this shade a try!
 
 
For the highlighting I used one of my recent favourites which is one of the Make Up Revolution highlighters which I received in the Make Up Revolution advent calendar last year, I tried to look for it on the MUR website however I cant find it, therefore it could be a limited edition that was made for the calendar only.
 
For the eyebrows, it was fun creating a bold look ,it took me a while to create the brows as I'm not use to doing mine so thick! I used my absolute holy grail dip brow pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills in the shade Auburn, I highly recommend this product as it stays all day and is so smooth! AHHH I love it!
 
So that pretty much wraps up this look..
 
It was a lot of fun doing this post as I don't do many celeb inspired pieces, after this one I will definitely consider doing more in the future. If you have any suggestions for me feel free to comment and let me know.
 
Thank you all for reading.
Speak soon!
 
Lots of love..

Studio 10 | Skin Perfecting Palettes

 Hi everyone, so glad to be back at my computer desk, working on another blog piece to share with all my lovely followers..
 
Todays brand im going to be talking about is called Studio 10, who focus on an innovative range of age perfecting makeup products that are created to help give women the ability to look more youthful and feel more confident in their own skin.
 
Although this brand aims their products at women aged 30+, they still have other amazing products suitable for anyone of any age, and I was lucky enough to be sent two palettes to try out myself.
 
I received the Age Defy Skin Perfector palette and the Visible Lift I-Definer palette, both of these palettes cost £32 each from the Studio 10 website (CLICK HERE).
 
I used both palettes for my face even though the I-Definer palette is created for the eyes, the products also work great to contour and highlight the face, so its a win win!
 
Age Defy Skin Perfector palette
 
 
I am in LOVE with this palette, it is my go-to palette for prepping my face for foundation, there are multiple products in this palette which help certain problems with my skin, the green corrector I use for my red patches on my skin which I sometimes get, especially during bad skin break outs and under my eyes, the two concealers are so thick and creamy and give a really impressive coverage, however the second concealer in this palette is way to dark for my skin tone but the first one is perfect so as you can see from the photo I am defiantly getting some good use out of that one.
 
Although you don't get a massive amount of each product in this palette, you don't need to as a little goes a long way with these products, I've had these palettes for about two months and I use them daily and still haven't hit the pan yet!
 
10 out of 10 from me and would highly recommend investing in this palette to see how good it is for yourself :-)
 
Visible Lift I-Define palette
 
 
I like this palette as all the products can be used for multiple purposes, I use a lot of these products daily such as using the neutralise powder to set my under eye concealer and the highlighter to highlight under my brow bone to create a sharp, clean finish to my eye makeup.
 
I am not as in love with this palette as I am with the Skin Perfector palette, however it is perfect for anyone who prefers to use powder makeup rather than creams or liquids and due to my dry skin, I find that liquids work better with me.
 
This palette for me personally is only a 5/10 as I believe it would benefit the older range of women more.
 
So, want to see the results from these palettes..
 
 
As you can see the products from the Skin Perfector palette have blended like a dream and covered all my imperfections as well as any dark areas. Super impressed with the results and I don't look half dead anymore, yayyyyyyy!
 
 
I finished my makeup and look.. zero imperfections!
 
Even if you didn't want to create a dramatic makeup look you could still use the products in the two palettes to cover up any blemishes that you may want to hide, you wouldn't even have to apply foundation over the top if you were going for a more natural look. Studio 10 products are suitable for any women wanting to create any look.
 
Thank you to Studio 10 for letting me experiment with your fantastic products & thank you to my followers for reading, hope you enjoyed.
 
See you soon!
Lots of love.

My First Tattoo

Hi everyone..
I am so excited to share my first tattoo with you all, I have been putting off getting a tattoo for about a year now, but as it was my birthday yesterday I decided to man up and go for it.. & I am so proud of myself for overcoming my 'tattoo fear' and it really wasn't as bad as I expected.
 
I promised myself that whenever I got my first tattoo I would give it a good, hard think instead of just winging it and getting something silly like a unicorn!
After some help off my tattoo artist and mother, I decided to get my birth flower to celebrate my 20th birthday, I wanted my tattoo to look like it had been sketched onto my skin, so to give it that effect I just wanted the outline of the flower in black, in the background I wanted bright paint drips/splatters to add to the whole 'arty' look, I love art and im a very arty person myself so I got this tattoo to also resemble my passion for art and I couldn't be more happy with the final result..
 
 
I chose to go for a safe area on my body which I thought would be bearable for my first tattoo experience.
 
I got myself so worked up during the 4 week wait, I had people tell me it was a walk in the park and others tell me it was the worst experience ever. Strangely when I woke up the morning of my appointment I was extremely excited and the fear of pain was at the back of my mind, I think I was just so excited to see the end result that the pain didn't matter anymore, plus I knew it would be worth it.
 
I couldn't be more proud of myself for sitting through my tattoo without getting all worked up and shaky, its insane to think how little it actually hurt, plus my tattoo artist was so friendly and made me feel very relaxed. Obviously depending on which body area you get tattooed, the pain rate will vary, I would give my tattoo a pain rate of 3/10, which I am so happy about as I wanted to add to my tattoo to create a colourful sleeve so now I can go back for more with a positive mind.
 
I went to a lady in Carnforth who's shop was called 'The Jewelled Bird', which is a fairly new shop, she have a Facebook and Instagram page if you were interested in checking out her work. My tattoo cost me £100 for an hour and a half sitting, which I think is very reasonable, and my mum, dad and brother paid for it all which is a bonus ;-)
I give her shop and work a 10/10.
 
Please note: If you are considering getting your first tattoo DO YOUR RESEARCH, my friends were recommending loads of artists to me that I wouldn't ever trust as their work just wasn't good enough to have on my skin forever, I feel I made the right decision and I had a great outcome thanks to spending hours online looking for someone who had great work portfolios.
 
Thank you for reading, I love seeing other peoples tattoos, so let me know what tattoos you have..
Have a great day, speak soon.

Boohoo X CHarli XCX | 90's Inspired Fashion

Hello!
 
I have been so excited to share this post with you all, I was contacted by Boohoo.com and informed about the amazing collaboration that Boohoo are doing with the beautiful, talented Charli XCX, which the theme will most likely (knowing Charli) be 90's inspired, I was greatly thankful for them contacting me, I got to choose an outfit from Boohoo.com inspired by 90's fashion, to share with you all!
I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of Charli's fashion sense and this opportunity sounded right up my street, so here it is, enjoy!
 
I took inspiration from the well known 90's film.. CLUELESS, to me that film is all about the outfits, from tartan, to fur, to leather.. the list goes on.
It was proving to be a difficult choose as to which character to work from, however, I suppose you cant do a Clueless inspired outfit without using Cher as your inspiration!
 
The 90's was a very popular time for the mini skirts and colourful blazers and the outfits that stand out to me the most throughout the film are the co-ord sets that the girls wear, especially Cher's famous yellow plaid two piece.
 
I found an outfit that I instantly fell in love with, and this is what I chose..
 
 
I stuck with the school girl style, with the knee high socks and black shoes, as well as pairing the shoes with the mini black suede backpack.. So Cher!!!
 
 
I love the colour of this outfit, the baby pink really gives the look as a whole, a mega feminine touch.
I see Charli XCX in mini skirts all the time and she really does have that hourglass figure to suit every outfit she wears and I am a big fan of the mini skirt trend that has come back around from the 90's.
 
 
I obviously had to get the matching cropped blazer which just completes the whole look and makes the outfit look classy. I added a simple ribbed crop top as I didn't want anything to fancy as it will take all the attention away from the co-ord.

 
So I used Cher as my fashion icon for this post, but since this post is in celebration of Charli XCX's Boohoo collaboration, I thought I would do the hair and makeup inspired by the 90's queen herself..
 

 
When I think of Charli and her makeup, I instantly think of bold red lips, that has been her signature look for a long time and she completely rocks it! As we are focusing on 90's trends I went for a more darker lip as whilst doing my research I found a lot of 90's celebs rocked a dark, dramatic red lip.

 
I kept the eye makeup simple as Charli focuses all the attention mainly to her lips, therefore if I was to do a bright eye look, it would clash with the bold lips, plus in this case, I think less is more.
 
Now Charli wouldn't be Charli without her big, beautiful, bushy eyebrows! I went for dramatic, black brows (well dramatic enough for me) and added some coral blush to the cheeks as I think coral cheeks really compliment pale skin tones.

 
The hair HAD to be big and curly, Charli is seen a lot with curls in her hair and also a lot of celebs were seen with curly hair back in the 90's, and its safe to say that this trend definitely hasn't gone out of fashion yet!
 
I really enjoyed dressing myself up and it made me realise how much I wish we still dressed like they did in the 90's, so thanks to Charli people can be inspired by her 90's trend and take inspiration just like I have today to bring back 90's fashion.
 
I hope you enjoyed reading my latest post.. Let me know who your 90's icon is!
 
Oh and don't forget that Charli's Boohoo collection is now live on the Boohoo.com website and she has done an amazing job, to check her collection out click HERE you wont be disappointed!
 
If you are interested in any of the pieces I wore in this post then you will find them all at Boohoo.com for really affordable prices.
 
Have a great week everyone..
Speak soon!

schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL - Mystic Violet

IM BACKKKKKKKKKKKK!
 
I haven't been on here in a while now, things have just been so hectic & my life has gone from sitting at home everyday to non stop on my feet. 
I have been revising for my Personal Licence exam for work, which I have past after failing the last time, so all the hours of revision have paid off and I can now relax and get back to what I love doing the most.. Blogging! 
 
I wanted to share with you all my new hair colour. I am known for my crazy bright red hair, but after having red hair for a few months, I lost interest and fancied a change, I decided to try purple, I haven't been purple before and I didn't want to have a boring colour so I gave it a shot. I decided to try the trustworthy Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL hair dye in the shade Mystic Violet, I have never been disappointed with any Schwarzkopf products before, they are my go to brand for hair colourants.
 
Here's the results
 
 
I am in love with the results, the colour is quite dark but once in the light, there are bright purple shades that show through. I must admit, I do love the fact that my eyebrows don't look odd now, red hair and brown eyebrows just didn't work for me, now they look more natural!
I have also changed the shape and style of my brows, I use to do them quite thick but now its time for a new change to go with my new hair, therefore I've chosen to keep them thin for a while, plus I think they compliment my makeup more now there thin.
 
Anyway back onto the hair..
If anyone isn't use to colouring their own hair at home but wants to try it, I highly recommend using this brand, their hair dye kits are so easy to use, and don't take forever to apply, it literally took me about 10 minuites to apply one bottle to my hair and the results are always amazing! This is a brand that, if you use their home hair kits, you will still look like you've just walked out of a salon and had it done professionally!
 
If you would like to check out their website please click HERE
 
Thank you so much for reading, have a great week & I will speak to you all next time.

Glo & Ray Balloon Pop | Review

Good afternoon.
 
Today I will be reviewing a fun eyeliner set which I have had really enjoyed trying out. These Glo & Ray eyeliners are not your typical dark shades, they are fun, suitable for summer but also with some shades great for any other season.
This set is called Balloon Pop - Sky Breaker.
 
 
Firstly, the packaging is so insane, this set has been designed so every part of it is eye catching, its like a big colourful circus in a box.
I normally take all my makeup out of its packaging and add put it in my makeup draws, however I love this box so much that I sat it on top of my makeup draws to show off, its to pretty to chuck away.
 
 
This set includes 6 eyeliners, all in a variety of colours and a sharpener which is very handy as I'm always loosing my eyeliner sharpeners. So basically everything you need to create a funky eye look is in this little box.
 
 
I am in LOVE with these eyeliners, they are extremely creamy and smooth on the skin. They are super pigmented and unlike a lot of eyeliners I've tried, you don't have to draw over them until the colour is pigmented enough. My favourite colour has to be Rosy candy. When I opened the box for the first time, I thought the pink eyeliner was a lip liner, for the reason that it came in a separate section from all the other eyeliners and it isn't your typical, everyday eyeliner colour.
I am so excited to get some good use out of Rosy Candy & Summer Sky in the summer. There's some amazing colours in this collection that you could even match your eyeliner with your outfit, and have a lot of fun with them.
 
Altogether I am so impressed with this collection. I will defiantly be checking out Glo & Ray more, by trying these eyeliners, I can already tell that all there other products will be just as great quality.
