Favourite new products


I love trying out new products hoping to find the perfect consistency without the product being either too thick and caking or with no coverage.

Ever since buying the MAC foundation which was a BIG waste of money I have always been cautious buying high end foundations. A lot of people say good things about the Estee lauder double wear and how it's full coverage but then again others say its thick and cakey. I wanted something that was going to be good coverage but wasn't some pore clogging cakey product.

The Collection foundation was good coverage but it sank into my pores and made my skin look so greasy which wasn't a good look or feeling. You get what you pay for and with the Collection foundation being £5.99 you cant complain and it is a bargain. This would be perfect for someone who doesn't have a quite oily face.

I thought I would try out the Bourjois healthy mix from Superdrug as Sarah Ashcroft used it a lot in her Youtube videos and it looked amazing. Reading about it and watching reviews on Youtube I decided to buy it and with it being £9.99 its a really affordable price. I've only worn it once since buying it as it came yesterday and I'm already in love with the consistency. It applies on the skin smoothly and is amazing coverage.

I use the Maybelline Baby skin Instant pore eraser under it which is also amazing! It is such a soft product and makes my skin look poreless (is it says on the packaging). Although, I wasn't expecting it to be as small as it is I thought it would of been bigger like the Rimmel primers.

Morphe 35K Palette

Here are my first impressions of the Morphe 35K koffee palette! I originally wanted the 35O palette but they are ALWAYS out of stock so i got this one instead. This was my second choice and i love it! I've never owned a Morphe palette and theres no reason why it's just never crossed my mind to buy one, I always see Youtubers use these palette in their videos and so i thought i'd give one a go! 
If im honest i wasnt expecting great pigmentation from the product as i found the palettes looked cheap but i am so amazed by how pigmented the colours are! 
The colours are gorgeous and they are so easy to apply and blend! I actually think these are a bargain for the price with being just under £20 they are amazing and i will definitely buy more! 
The colours are warm shades with mixture of mattes and shimmers! I got mine from HERE from Beautybay. 
Im never one to buy big branded products because of how overally priced some of their items are but this brand is amazing! 
Overall i think this palette will be perfect for everyday use especially with the warm toned colours they will come in handy for both Summer and Winter looks.

How to look after hair extensions

Looking after extensions such as micro loops can be difficult. Micro loop/rings are one of the best and most discreet hair extensions on the hair market. Most salons across the UK and America offer this type of extension option and will usually charge a quite bit as they take up alot of time and hours. They will be colour matched, fitted, styled and finished and last a long time (up to 6 months). They do grow out therefore you would need to go and get them tightened and they dont damage your natural hair either! 

RULES: 
• Always brush them atleast 3 times a day as they will tangle during everyday activities. 
• Use a wide tooth comb to untangle knots gently without pulling the hair out. 
• Avoid brushing the hair between the scalp and loop as it can tug the hair and make the micro ring extension loose.
• Dont brush hair when it's wet.
• Dont air-dry hair at night as it will get knotted.
• Avoid swimming pools! Chlorinated water will damage extensions and natural hair. 
• Sleep with hair in a plait/braid as it will stay in place all night and wont tangle up.


Pros of having microloop extensions: 
• Natural looking
• Last up to 6 months
• Do no damage to your natural hair
Cons: 
• Expensive 
• Time consuming 
• Can be visible if the natural hair is short.



I love extensions and they are perfect for anyone who finds it difficult growing their natural hair or who doesnt have time applying clip-in extensions everyday. They last months and are so natural looking noone will know they are extensions! 
Hope this helps anyone who wants or has extensions!
