hair supplements do they work?

do they actually work?

i want to know,

my hair has always been just below sholder length, and it is doesnt grow.

(insert bad old photo)

 If i have it cut it will grow like wildfire untill it reaches the same length than stop again, why!

so if i take the tablets would they work? has anyone tried them, i need some advice.

Christmas in July???

WHAT?
I was watching on the news today and saw that Selfridges they are putting up a Christmas section/floor, because apparently there is a demand for people to buy Christmas presents early!!


Are people insane!! Why would you buy Christmas present yet, people don't even know what they want yet so how are u spouse to buy them presents.

If you buy for little kids they won't know, and if you ask friends and family they won't care because they won't be thinking about it!!

Grr gets me so annoyed, you've got another 5 months so why don't you save up till December so you can buy better presents!?

:) it's still summer for gawd sake!

Stupid people :)

1 pound eyeshadow????

Sorry I've been MIA the past week, I was enjoying my 2 days off abit too much haha,

Anyway one day last week I went to superdrug to buy some fake tan (review soon) and I stumbled across a whole line of make-up tht was only a pound each, yes everything £1!!!!

I could only buy two things because at this time I didn't have any money left, wish I had gone to this shop first :(





They are the make-up academy and these are the eyeshadows I brought one silver and one pink




The silver is really pretty, not so keen on the pink, they don't have names:
The pink is shade 16-matt
And the silver is shade 1-pearl





The silver is very pigmented and really glittery
The pink you can't really tell is there

But for £1 I am not complaining
Go to your nearest superdrug and see if they still have them it's worth it!!

Lush review- buffy

I'm going to do a review on buffy the body butter from lush,

Lush says:
There's no need for body lotion after a Buffy, because the cocoa and shea butters in it moisturise your skin beautifully. There's something about exfoliating your body that makes you feel bright and bouncy, as well as smooth all over. Slay that cellulite.

I didn't understand how to use it at first because it doesn't explain it on the label or on the website (they have since improved the website), I had to do research, which means if I don't some of you might not either so....




(this is how much I have left now)

Application:
To start with I thought you used it after the shower or bath because it was a body butter but it's not, so when I came out the shower I was disappointed to find I couldn't use it,
What you do is when your in shower or bath you rub it all over your skin and then use your hands to rub more to exfoliate your skin then wash it off, after you have finished your skin will be left with a layer of moisture (oil)

What's in it:
Rice and ground almonds to exfoliate your skin (tiny beads)

Shea butter to moistures and gets rid of cellulite (the oil layer left on your skin)

My verdict:
The beads in the body butter are big, they are good if you want a good exfoliate, the beads can hurt if you rub too much, so probably not good for sensitive skin or people that don't like the irritation.

After you rinse it off it leaves a layer of oil which is good to use for shaving, especially if you need to shave after, i need a new razor because the blades are starting to go but because my leg was (moisturised) oiled it slide along and took every single hair, even the stupid ones by the ankle

I don't know wether it's true yet but I do believe it is getting rid of my cellulite too, dunno wether it is actually working or I just think it is.

The only downside is when you dry you get the oil residue and if you wear like a nightie or a skirt your legs rib and it's not that pleasant, I want to rub it all off but can't , so I wear trousers but other then that I love it!!

Rating:
9 out of 10 go buy it!!
It's £9.00 and I've used it 5 times maybe more and have more than half left :)

Stitch me up

I remade a dress I brought last week,
It is a maxi dress and i brought out my sewing skills :)


(warning lots of photo)




It is very pretty but the top bit is awful,
I don't like halter tops so I changed that



And this bit is very revealing and has extra material everywhere and like a White insert that wasn't needed



First I took out the stocked and removed the cup






Then stitched the whole back up,
It doesn't have to be neat because no one can see it




Next was the extra stuff






Cut the fabric at the seam and then sewed it back up and cut off the extra material






Next I added two buttons on the back


And used the halter straps and just looped them around the button to make normal straps






And wohoo done!!
A nice normal maxi dress






It is still a bit revealing but I am just gonna have a White top underneath


And I got rid of more fabric then this but this is disgusting they could probably make a kids top with all the fabric I through away

in or out?: long peasant skirts.

would you wear this fashion item?
i think it looks good if you have the right body shape or height, if you get it wrong it can look disastrous

is it in or out??

i think in :D

Large fashion haul!

Wow I loges on today and I have 20 followers, that's ace, hi everyone :)

From left to right:
Primark: I brought it caz I AM amazing haha

Grey top: from primark need some plain shirts for work
Strait top: primark
Jeggings: primark

July favourites!

oki so i know its the erm... 6th of july....oki so not that late but anyway here are my favourites for the month of july.
this is my first monthly favioutes but as i keep doing these you will see some of the same things pop up

oki so from left to right (starting with the back and moving forward):

*bad gal lash ( from benefit): i love this makes my eyelashes super long and has a big fat brush

*veganese (from lush): the only conditioner i have found that makes my hair detangled and super clean

* the olive branch shower gel (from lush): i love the smell of this, and it leaves your skin squeaky clean and its all natual ingredients :D

*straight guard defender (from chi): you dont need alot of this at all, stopped using it for a couple of months and didnt use any heat defender on my hair, very very very bad!, and it sineged my hair so now ive gone back to this and its working great

* velvet foundation primer (from gosh): it has silcon in it which doesnt agree with everyones skin and it doesnt sink in, but i love it for the reason that it doesnt sink in, it stays on the skin which means the foundation clings to it to make it last all day, and it really does espically on the bottom of my eyes and my upper lip, which is were i tend to sweat, it stays on, always a plus.

*it stick (beneift): of course this is what all the beauty bloggers brought from the compan magazine, i think thats right, and i absolutly love it, everyone said it will be the last one left on the selves because its not that good, but it suits my skin colour pefectly and with my foundation primer it stays on all day, and i have no bags under my eyes :D

*foundation in illision (urban decay): It is cream to liquid, i think dont quote me on it, and sits on my skin all day, it matchs my skin colour pefectly and because im very VERY pale its hard to find the right foundation, normally there always to dark and i look stupid but this one matches, its a miracle, i will defenctly repurchase it, and i will soon because i have the tinyest bit left =[

*msn(mineralize skinfinsh natural) in medium (by mac): i love this, i have had it for about 6 months now and have only just hit pan with it (insert sad face) but they last for absolutly ages, so for the price you pay it is well worth it, im always scared of buying expensive make-up just incass but it differently lives up to the name, i switch between this and the blotting powder, i think i might get that one when i run out, seen as its summer and i dont want my make-up to run when i sweat, eww!

*lipstick pen (from somewhere): i dont know where this is from, i know its cheap and i got it for christmas of one of those people who just buys you cheap make-up caz its better then nothing, ha, anyway i really like the colour it comes out as, doesnt last for a very long time but it doesnt matter, and i love the idea of a lipstick to look like a lipliner pen.

last but not least:

* black eyeliner (from rimmel london): i have had this for about 2 years now, different products obviously, and i love it, it comes off easily when you sweat or your eyes water but i love the intense black and it glides on so easily.

thats it for my may favouites, sorry for so much writing, i will leave you with a picture of my outfit for today.

what are your favioute products??

What you do is answer the person who tagged you questions and then come up with your own for everyone else to answer, so here goes:


1. How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Well in ten years I'll be 29 :/ scary! By that time I would love to have my very own house and start building a family and be engaged, I've planned a lot

2. Is there something you regret doing?

No! I don't regret anything, even if it's the worse thing ever at the time, I believe everything happens for a reason and it might take years to know why but you will eventually.


3. Is there one thing you would change about yourself and why?

I would love to be thinner, I am a size 14 and that's average and I know it's fine but I don't feel fine, I'm on a diet and loosing the weight slowly but I would like it to be faster lol


4. What is your favourite childhood memory?

My favourite memory is of my grandad he died when I was 2 but the only thing I remember of him was this game we used to play with newspaper and that he smelt of musty cologne :)

Having this community and having so many lovely people to talk too


8. What is your best make-up tip

You can use blusher for so many things, on cheeks, on eyelids and even as a base from lipstick, find make-up that has more then one use then you don't need so much.
