Glamour Doll


If your like me and not blesses with fabulous long lashes i'd definitely recommend Catrice Glamour Doll. This little gem is my go to mascara. If it was up to me i'd be wearing false lashes everyday but who has the time and money. 


Naturally I have very short and straight lashes. I find it very had to get my lashes to curl up without using an eyelash curler. I find this mascara gives me long looking lashes with no clumping and also makes my eyes look bigger. Its easy to apple, its easily removed and best of all it lasts all day.



 I've recommended this mascara to my friends and they all love it too. It also cheap, like less than a fiver and also available in Penneys and most pharmacies. There is also a waterproof version available. Definitely be purchasing again. Let me know what you think of Glamour Doll!

Pastel Hair

Hey guys,

 I've wanted to try this pastel hair for so long!! And its sooo much easier than you think. Its such a huge trend right now as we see Kelly O rocking the purple locks and recently Katy Perry went green!!

 I'm a blonde girl at heart and i'd say I always will be but got to switch it up now and again. Anyway I first saw this pink tip look on a Peter Mark add and have wanted to try it since but been scared as I thought id ruin my blonde hair and that is a risk I was not willing to take .. until today!! 



So I figured out a way to do to it (thanks to youtube) without actually using hair dye and it washes straight out and no damage to your hair! 

So all you need to achieve this look is..
  • Chalk pastels that I bought it a local craft store
  • Water 
  • Hair dryer

1. Dip a small section of hair into water.
2. Colour it with the chalk pastels (not regular chalk)
3. Dry the hair once you have added chalk to all the tips.
 Easy!!


Let me know what you think of the pastel hair trend!

Ombre lips




Ombre lips are everywhere at the moment from drag queens to the catwalk and i'm absolutely loving it. Ombre is a gradient of colour, from light to dark or dark to light, and its definitely moved from hair to  lips. I was wanting to try this for ages and today I finally did. :) Although I love the look, I think its a bit drag queen looking for us mere mortals. So I came up these few looks that are not as obvious looking but still have the ombre going. Its great for the effect of a fuller lip too. Its so easy to do, just mess around with to shades of lipgloss, lipstick or lip pencil and mix and match.



So I like my pink lippie if you haven't noticed. What do you think of the ombre lip trend? I would love to here your thoughts.

  • Peaches Geldof Dies.

    Peaches Geldof, daughter of Bob Geldof, died today at the young age of 25. Another life taking way too young.




    A statement from her dad.
    "Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing ‘was’ destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken.Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof."


    At this stage, the death is being treated as an unexplained and sudden death. Officers are working to establish the circumstances around the death.


    May she rest in peace.
    Thoughts and prayers are with her family.

    Fishtail Plait

    Hey guys,
    I finally learned how to do a fishtail plait and I absolutely love them! They are great when you don't have time to curl or straighten your hair but you want something different than a ponytail. They don't have to be perfect either, I like them a bit messy and it doesn't matter if my layers stick out of everywhere.



    This one I did really quickly when I was hurrying to college and got lots of complements. Its great! :) They are quick, easy and cute. Happy days.
    Do ye like fishtails plaits??

    Gwyneth and Chris Over!

    Hey guys,
    Did you hear the sad news that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are separating. I always thought they were so cute together and would last, they didn't seem like a big show biz couple. So sad :(


    Their statement read, "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."



    "I asked my dad once, 'How did you and Mum stay married for 33 years?' And he said, 'Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time.' And I think that's what happens. When two people throw in the towel at the same time, you break up, but if one person's saying: 'Come on, we can do this,' you carry on. I've learned more about myself being married than anything else. I hate to say, 'We've got it worked out,' because you never know what's going to happen, but we laugh, we're good friends, we like to do the same stuff." 

    At the end of the day theres no point staying in a relationship thats not working. Always do what makes you happy in the end.

    What do you think of there break up guys?? Let me know!
