for HAIR that never GROWS past a certain LENGTH!!

Woo-hoo! This is such an exciting product for me as... hallelujah.. it's a miracle in a tub!

Don't fret..... Lee Staffords 'for HAiR that neVer GRowS past a CERTAiN LeNGTH Treatment' is a hair mask which.... helps your hair grow.

I have extremely fine hair which has been the same length since I can remember... Until now. The product is designed to be used between shampoo-ing and conditioning, and you massage it into your hair and leave on for 5 minutes. The top tips tell you to use it every wash until you see improvement, which means I have been using a pot every week and a half as you have to use the equivalent of an egg in terms of how much. This means it can end up being pretty pricey as it retails at £7.99, but it really is worth it if you're struggling to get any growth.

 It smells divine, like Thierry Mugler's perfume Angel, and really, honestly works. I thought this product deserved a shout-out this month as it really has worked for me, helping my hair grow an extra 2-4 inches and also leaving it feeling thicker, glossier and healthier! 

Yeaaaaaah! Enjoy!

Your Lips, But Better!! - N°7 High Shine Lip Crayon

Ta-Da!

Here is a fabulous product that has been hiding which is juuuuust perfect for that 'your lips, but better look'. N°7 High Shine Lip Crayon in the colour Daydreamer is incredible.

I have been looking high and low for a natural lip colour which isn't too heavy, pale, or drying and this product is none of those! The crayon formula is like a glossy lipstick and really lightweight, so you don't get that annoying dry line after a few hours wearing it.

My grandma actually gave me this and i'm so grateful for it as it is affordable but so natural. The product is sheer, but perfect for an everyday look. It also claims to be moisturising, which I agree to some extent. It retails in Boots for £9.00 so isn't too expensive!

I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an affordable, natural and easy lipstick!

My Top 10 Day Festival Essentials!

Hey gals and guys,

So i've just got back from the one and only V Festival and my sister suggested a blog on Festival Essentials would be a good idea and really helpful..... So here it is! I have decided to do day essentials only so it doesn't turn into a boring blog about what to take because I'm pretty sure we aren't all that interested!

My top 10 essentials would be the following:

1) A Bag - a side bag is good as it is light, stops you from over packing and you can keep it safe over your body.
2) Sunglasses - The weather is uncontrollable, but wouldn't it be annoying not being able to see your favourite acts?!
3) A Phone - I decided to leave my beloved iPhone at home, and bought a Samsung Keystone 2 for a squeeze at £17.. Bargain AND the battery lasted the whole four days... Shocker!
4) Money - I recommend taking cash to festivals because if you lose your card... you aaain't getting it back! Also leave your purse at home.... just do it!
5) Suncream - Sounds lame but I ended up with some wacky tan lines after standing in the sun all weekend! Protect yourself people!
6) Tissues - The toilets....... Need I say more???
7) Hand Sanitiser - See #6 (Just so grose).
8) Waterproof Jacket - You can actually buy these at the festival for a few pounds but they are definitely an essential.. Who wants to stand in the pouring rain waiting for Beyonce? Not me!
9) Lipstick - Just because... Every girl likes to look half decent while soaked in rain!
10) Water - Very very important as the queues at festivals are long and its important to stay hydrated!

I hope this helps anyone who is going to a festival or has been! Bit of a random blog but it's always good to get some advice!

Let's Bronze It!

Aloha! Today's post is excitably on the new Bourjois Bronzing Primer. I have been wanting to try this for quite a while after seeing various bloggers and you-tubers raving about this but I found it hard to leave my beloved Bourjois Delice de poudre Bronzing Powder!

The first thing to mention is the smell of the product! It smells so divine and fresh that its great putting it on your face as you can really smell it! The packaging is great as it has a screw top lid, meaning the product can remain air packed and wont dry out as fast.

In terms of the actual product.... I give it a 5*! I would go as far to say that it is a dupe for Chanel's Soleil tan de Chanel (£31.00) as it matches its cream/gel consistency. A little bit goes a long way with this bronzer and it blends away really nicely into an almost airbrushed finish. I would recommend applying the product with a blending or stippling brush to ensure you get a really nice blend with it and Real Technique brushes are great for this (£9.99-£11.99). The product retails for around £9.99 in most beauty stores and the packaging states that you can wear it alone, which I highly recommend for a bronzer glow, or under foundation or powder. I actually tried it over foundation lightly and it had a really nice finish to it even without powdering!

This product really is worth the hype with its gorgeous velvety texture which warms up your complexion, giving you a natural, but bronzed glow!

Just Bitten! Mwah!

I have been meaning to write a post on the Revlon Just Bitten lip stain and balms for a while now as they are gorgeous! .

The stains come in 6 different colours and are perfect for the summer and are quick and easy for on the go! I think Revlon suggest putting the stain on first and the balm after but I would recommend doing it the other way around as the stains can be quite dry on normal lips.

My favourite colour is Passion and it stays on all day, including eating and drinking! I have about three of them now and would definitely purchase them again! The stains are also buildable so you can reapply for a more bold colour. I would say they dry out quite quickly, but if you are like me and become obsessed with a product then it will be used up pretty fast anyway. In terms of the balm, it is scent-free and really moisturising and un-sticky. They retail in at around £7.99 at Boots but they usually do 3 for 2 so you could try out 3! (I'm a bad influence ;))

Just a quick post, but worth the buy!

Got a spot of bother? - Clinique Anti-Blemish Review.

Well hello there!

This post is a review which may not appeal to everyone but nevertheless a helpful one (I hope)! Today I will be reviewing the Clinique Anti-Blemish range and tell you all about each product and how I think they work!

The first thing to mention is that this range is for blemish prone skin. I suffered from really bad acne and found nothing that could help overcome the neverending pain and bumps! However, i was given these products to 'try' and I have to admit... I was skeptical. I have tried every lotion and potion under the sun including laser treatment and nothing and I mean NOTHING worked. So... life story later.... I tried this and it WORKED!

The products are great if you want to try them and are reluctant about buying them as they come in a starter kit for £30. They come in a 3 step system which is : 

• Step 1: Cleanse with Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam 
• Step 2: Exfoliate with Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion 
• Step 3: Moisturise with Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturiser Oil-Free

The cleansing foam is great at taking off your make-up, (something I found painful having acne), and it doesnt take any natural oils out of your skin which is what soaps would do. It is a pump bottle which is useful with wet hands and is a light foam. The clarifying lotion is the second step which is amazing at cleaning the skin from any extra dirt that may be stuck around the blemishes. I would recommend using a cotton wool ball rather than a pad to exfoliate, as it is useful to scrub in circular motions rather than wiping. The third step is the moisturiser which is fantastic as you can wear this to bed or under your makeup, meaning your blemishes are being treated as well as moisturising. What isnt included in the starter kit which I would highly recommend is the Anti-Blemish Spot Treatment Gel. It is amazing and I really would reccomend this to anyone who suffers from any type of blemish prone skin!

The products really do what they say on the box and although rather pricey, they really do work. My acne has now gone and i suffer from the odd blemish. The only bad thing about the products is that they are quite drying, but that makes sense as they are drying out the blemishes! All the products can be bought online at www.clinique.co.uk or in most cosmetic stores such as Boots.

I know this is a really long post but hopefully helpful to anyone looking for another direction!!

What yo trippin fo?!

What yo trippin fo?! No seriously. What ARE you tripping for?

This is the question i ask myself daily when i fall up, down and across the stairs. You name it. I've done it. I mean... come on?? On a scale of 1 - 10, its pretty damn embarrassing and it's just not cool in the slightest.

The worst is when you have to style it out and act as if it didn't hurt, when really, you are crying inside. I do this trip almost everyday and it's become a part of my daily life style. Maybe i just have bad stair skills.. but falling UP the stairs is just on another level oh humiliation... I mean.. Who does that?! (Well me.. obviously) .  I want to know if it is just me or does anyone else suffer from the same problem?

From one floor-skimmer to another,
