Long Lasting Hair Colour

I am absolutely in love with my hair colour being this Purple Pink. I started out wanting an InTheFrow Lilac Pastel colour, however I decided to try my luck with this colour and I prefer it 100%. In the above photo the colour is at its brightest, and in the below photo it's a few washes in; so you can see it washes out quite quickly.

My solution to this is using only conditioner as the sulphate in shampoo washes out the colour. You can use a non sulphate shampoo but they are hard to come by as the sulphate makes the shampoo froth up and lather. The conditioner will wash your hair just as well but it could start to make your roots greasy. I have not experienced this but it can be a side effect. I was unaware that this is actually a thing, its called CO-WASHING and people do it for all different reasons. Two things are for certain, my hair colour lasts a long time and my hair feels more silky smooth than has before.

I don't use a special conditioner, I just use the Tresemme Colour Revitalise Colour Fade Protection Conditioner.  It retails at £5.24 and can be purchased on the highstreet and in your local Super Stores. I know Asda often do 2 for £5 and as they are 900ml they do tend to last a long time.

If you have coloured hair and are fed up with it fading everytime you wash it then try this, it might work for you.

DEWY SKIN | CORAL LIP

Highlighter is 100% one of my favourite makeup products, it gives the illusion of flawless looking healthy skin which is what most of us strive for. I have been trying to use the least amount of face powder possible recently as its makes your skin look super matte and it stops you piling product on to your skin. This look is all about the skin and lips as I have been suffering with my eyes recently so I have been trying to stay away from eye makeup. If you love super dewy healthy skin then this post is for you. This is my go to during the summer days which we have been experiencing recently. To support this look I chose a glossy coral lipstick, it is the perfect shade for the summer period and it works so well with this dewy skin look.

£3.50 Contour Palette and Bold Red Lip

I am 100% in love with this Makeup Revolutions Ultra Sculpt and Contour Kit in Light/Medium. It comes with a dark contour shade, a golden highlight shade and a blush shade. The contour shade is very dark and pigmented so you have to be careful not to pile it on, it could very easily start to make you look dirty and cakey. It retails for £3.50 which actually blows my mind considering how amazing this palette is. It is super light weight and the perfect size to keep in your bag for any touch ups. I took it out at the weekend in my clutch bag and it didn't weigh my bag down or take up a lot of space.

The isn't a super defined contour look as I don't like a really deep contour with my pale skin. If my skin was darker or I was tanned then I would 100% apply more to deepen the shade.

If you would like to see a deep contour look with this palette then please leave your comments below as this contour kit would work perfectly.

This look is pretty simple but this bold Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick in Essential Red is the perfect glam shade, it looks so beautiful with my Purple/Pink hair. I have had this lipstick for some time now but found it in my collection recently.

I didn't necessarily focus too much on the eyes as I wanted to experiment with the contour palette, and this red lip was more than enough to Glam up this look. This bright gold eyeshadow and thin black wing was just the right about of detail.

I hope you like this look.

The £6 Eye Palette You Need | Urban Decay Naked Palette Dupe

I don’t really need to be shopping for makeup to buy makeup, I just come across products and an alarm in my brain starts to go off. It’s the Obsession With Makeup Palettes Alert. When I was shopping last week in Superdrug I picked up this MUA Elysium Palette for £6.00 which is an absolute bargain. The colours are so beautiful and pigmented, perfect for a day to night palette to have in your bag as it is super lightweight. It is definitely a dupe to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette which I own as well but the Elysium Palette is £32.00 Cheaper. I am so happy with this palette, I usually browse on the MUA and Makeup Revolutions Counter as they have amazing products at bargain prices. I tend to try their products to see how the cheaper brands differ from the expensive brands.

The colours are very neutral and vary from a White Cream Matte to a Dark Brown Shimmer with Pink and Copper Shimmer Shades. The palette comes with a Duo Eyeliner Pencil of a Black and Highlight shade.

I would 100% recommend this palette, it has definitely become my go to product at the moment and for the price its an absolute steal. The palette that I purchased was the last palette left so it’s obviously a popular choice.

This palette does not have shade names so I have described the shades. The Cream White Shade is hard to see in the swatches below as I am incredibly pale so the bottom side of my arm is more a less the same colour. If you want to make these colours even more pigmented, just apply Mac Fix+ to your eyeshadow brush before applying it; this works amazing with shimmer and glitter tones.

ROOT TOUCH UP AT HOME | UNDER £5.00

As my hair is naturally blonde I have to darken my roots quite often so this needs to be quick, effortless and cheap. I use the Clairol Root Touch Up in the shade Dark Brown. It comes with gloves, a root brush, a small container and two solutions that you mix together, it is very self explanatory. It is the perfect amount of product for thick hair like mine as it's goes a long way, and at £4.69 it is a brilliant price considering a salon would probably charge 5 × that amount.

I do like to wear an old T-shirt, lay an old towel on the floor as my carpet is cream and keep some face wipes close by. You can apply Vaseline around the hairline before you apply the dye and that will protect the skin. 

Once I have prepped my space I only use two things, a comb and a clip which most girls have anyway. This is to split the hair into sections and clip the rest of the hair up whilst you focus on applying the dye to the chosen section.

You can only see my roots slightly due to the lighting but my hair is naturally brighter in person. I can get away with my roots for sometime as the colour blends into my parting but this only works for so long.

When dying your roots you need to ensure you are not going past the line where your root ends otherwise it's going to dye the other hair darker and this will start to look a bit strange.

ROOT DYE ROUTINE

1. Apply the hair dye to the parting 

2. Use the pointy side of the comb to pull up a thin section of hair, approximately a fingers width

3. Carry on this routine throughout the hair 

You may need some help the first few times at the back of the head but I have learnt to use my fingers on my left hand as a reference point and apply the dye with my right hand. This will get easier the more you do this.

Wash and blow dry your hair, you can see in the photo above that my roots look a lot darker and it all blends in with the rest of my hair.

I hope you like this short budget root touch up tutorial on how to dye your roots at home.

STRENGTHEN AND SUPER SHINE

I haven't applied any nail varnish for quite some time. I am use to long acrylic nails which recently I have been really missing. I haven't had them done for a few months as they were starting to cause some serious damage to my nails. Even after they were removed my nails were flimsy and started to split down they centre. Its not as bad as it sounds but it did cause some problems when trying to grow my own nails. 

I have been using the Nail HQ Strengthener after buying this on a wim when shopping at Tesco's. My nails haven't really gained enough strength to grow long but they do seem to be getting stronger as the days past. It is possible to apply this under a normal nail varnish so you can strengthen your nails and cover them with a colour at the same time.

This Rimmel 60 Second Super Shine Nail Varnish in Too Cool To Tango is a new purchase as I fancied a nice baby blue colour. It is very pigmented so you could easily get away with one coat and at £2.99 is was a nice little bargain, although I wouldn't call it a Super Shine varnish. I do not like the bristles on the applicator brush as they are a bit too thick so you can see the brush strokes when you apply. This usually disappears before the varnish dries but it can effect how much product you have on the brush.

For a Top Coat I don't really use anything special, this is the Nailene Acrylic Strong Protecting Top Coat (Discontinued) that came in a set. It looks incredibly glossy when applied but when it dries it is almost impossible to tell that you have applied it.

If your nails are weak and you are looking for a Nail Strengthener to put under your normal nail varnish then I would recommend you try the Nail HQ, especially at £4.99. If you have used this please leave your comments below

On The Tube

If you are subscribed to my Youtube channel you will know I create all different types of videos. You will find a range of video's that include DIY Fashion Tutorials, Makeup Tutorials and Beauty, Haircare, Fashion Styling and Art Speed Drawings. I have always wanted it to be very personal and entertaining.

My first ever video is actually so difficult for me to watch as the quality is terrible and my physical appearance is very different. You can tell that I am new to talking to a camera as I come across quite shy and quiet which is the complete opposite to the person I am. Obviously my experience and confidence has grown since then, it has become so easy to sit in my house and have a conversation with my camera. Any body who makes Youtube videos or any type of videos will understand that.

This video is actually my most watched video at 45,000 views so it has got its fair share of attention. This video is a DIY Fashion Tutorial showing how to transform some plain nude heels to into mink style laced beauties. I didn't have the equipment that I do now so I am in the process of remaking this video as it's been very highly requested.

Makeup Tutorials and Beauty videos are a must for my channel, I am naturally a creative person so I enjoy putting on my makeup and been able to let my creativity run wild. I have made a lot of makeup videos but what better than a budget on trend contouring challenge.

Hair is quite subjective as we have all different weights, length and textures of hair. Recently I have become quite bold with my hair. The video below is a new video which shows how I dyed my hair to a ombre pink/purple for under £10.00. Considering a salon would charge at least £60, that price is such a bargain.

Fashion is something I have always been interested in however my style has change dramatically in the last few years. The video below is a Fashion Haul/Lookbook to show what I have been buying recently and how these look on, you might find something you like.

If you follow me on Social media or are subscribed to my channel you will already know I am combining my blogging and my art Social Media's . I guess this gives my blog and channel more of a personal touch as you know the person behind the art work. This is the first art speed drawing on my channel.  I will continue to add more speed drawings as time goes on,  however my drawings do take a long time to complete so please have patience.

I hope you enjoyed this in depth post into my YouTube Channel. Please stop by my channel by clicking on the Youtube Link  below. I have a lot more videos like these ones that you maybe interested in.

A LIFE ONLINE

I had thoughts about starting a blog and especially a Youtube Channel long before I gained the courage to put myself online. It is a very tricky thing when you first start out. I began a Youtube Channel first and I tell you now it was the most awkward thing talking to a camera on your own and having the ability to act normal. Now its as easy as anything and people ask me isn't it weird though, your almost talking to yourself?

At first of course it is a tad out of the ordinary but this is only like learning how to do something new. Most things you learn or experience for the first time may seem a little strange but as time goes on it becomes the normal thing to do.

I saw a video a long time ago asking 'Why do you put your life online?'

This is an easy question to answer as I don't really see it that way. I think some people have this perception that Bloggers, Youtubers and anyone who takes selfies for say an Instagram Makeup Page is that we are vain and love ourselves. This is so far from the truth its almost funny. Yes I take a lot of pictures of myself whether its for a makeup post on Instagram, a fashion post on my blog or a Thumbnail for my Youtube videos. It is not about loving yourself, it is about sharing with people that may want to listen.

Although as we are on the subject of loving yourself, is that a bad thing? I would encourage everyone to love themselves and be true to who they are. If you think your a stunning beauty or you are incredibly talented then that is amazing. It isn't always that easy but when you get to that point everyone else judgement of you whether it be good or bad, will not even matter as the only perception of yourself that matters is your own.

The bad side of the term 'LOVING YOURSELF' is when you start to think you are better than the people around you. You are not more beautiful, more talented or more valued from the people you pass in the street. I think it all gets a bit confusing, yes there are people that are vein because they believe that other people are below them and they are better. These are people I tend to stay away from because their energy and presence is not something I would ever want to be associated with.

Putting my life on online is actually very easy, obviously there are some personal aspects of my life that I do not share. You have to have a part of your life that has the privacy you would expect anyone else to want.

I put myself online to inspire, share, evolve and hopefully start something for myself.
Its a beautiful way of talking to people who are interested in similar things, that you would never speak to. They could live down the road from you or live in a different country. The opportunities are endless and I believe in taking those opportunities as they could lead on to amazing things. I do not mean yes you could be the worlds best blogger and be earning millions, I mean you learn about yourself, you communicate with like minded people that could possibly blossom into the best friendships.

A MINI BEAUTY & HAIRCARE HAUL

VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray

Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser

Coco Brown 1 Hour instant Tan

Simple Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm

VO5 Mega Hold Gel Spray

Neautrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub

The only product I actually needed was the Simple Kind To Skin Light Moisturiser which was part of my Wishlist Post on Monday. As I was in the beauty aisle like most girls I found other products I thought I would try.

I am currently trying a range of eye serums and creams as my eyes do get quite sensitive and dry. When I picked up the Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser I found the Simple Eye Soothing Balm. At £3.98 I thought its worth a try. Sometimes the highstreet products are better for you than the high end products.

I used both Simple products last night and my first impression is that I am actually amazed. The moisturiser left my skin feeling hydrated but not greasy. There were no signs of oily areas on the skin when I woke up this morning.

The eye balm texture is so velvety smooth, it made such a difference. After removing my makeup I applied this eye balm and my eyes felt soft and healthy. Even when I woke up they just felt difference, I don't really know how to describe the feeling. The combination of both products work so well together but I will give a better conclusion after using them for a while.

THE VO5 Gel Spray is a new product for me. when I have my hair curly I always use a gel hairspray as the aerosol cans make my hair go frizzy. I was using the Tresemme Spray Hair Spray for a long time but it is now discontinued so I had to go searching for another product.

I noticed after Curling my hair with the straighteners last week that my hair smelt so burnt. I don't necessarily believe in heat defence sprays however I needed to do something to stop my hair being mutilated by hair tongs and straighteners. The VO5 Heat Defence Spray shall be put to the test, to test this theory.

The Coco Brown is a very new tanning product I have recently come across. A friend at work advised me this was a good tanning mouse, it apparently doesn't have that dirty self tanning biscuit smell and last upto 5-7 days. I love the idea of being tanned but self tanning is such a task to keep on top of.

The Neautrogena Daily Face Scrub smells absolutely amazing. I have recently ran out of face wash and I have had good experiences with Neautrogena facial products before. A Scrub is perfect to cleanse deep down in your pores and the microbeads are so small, it doesn't feel harsh on your skin.

If you have oily skin, sensitive eyes or curly hair maybe these products will work for you. I will give a better verdict when I have used these products a few times.

Makeup & Skincare Wishlist

My constant obsession with an excessive amount of beauty products always leads to a monthly list of products to buy come payday. Some of these products are high end and others are easily accessible on the high street.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation
I have used this Foundation before but I did use to think it was a tad too thick. However recently I have been using it and it feels so smooth on my skin. The most important aspect of a Foundation for myself is that it is long lasting and full coverage. As my skin is combined some foundations do start to slip off my skin in the oily areas which can cause that dreaded cake face

Laura Mercia Translucent Powder I have not used this powder but I have read and heard amazing things about it. As mentioned previously I do have combination skin but some areas of my face do get more oily then others. As I work fulltime my makeup does tend to slip away throughout the day and the redness in my skin starts to show through. My theory is that the Estee Lauder Double Wear and this Translucent Powder will be a match made is heaven but I am yet to test this theory.

Simple Light Moisturiser

I heard about this moisturiser from the Youtuber Amy Macedo, she has oily skin and finds that this light moisturiser saved her skin so I am eager to try this.
 

Makeup Revolutions Contour Palette
A very similar looking Contour Palette to the extremely popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. I have been waiting for a high-street brand to launch a contour kit like this one. I have not been able to get my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit as it isn’t available in the UK and all online stores had sold-out of the light shade. It will be interesting to see if this works as dupe as a lot of beauty enthusiasts and Bloggers seem to be raving about it on Social Media.

Nars Radiance Creamy Concealer
I have had amazing experiences with Nars products but I am yet to use the Creamy Concealer range. It has been said it is a full coverage creamy consistency, hence the name. It also has a brightener in it so it would be perfect to brighten the under eye area.

N07 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush
I have been looking further into improving my skin care game recently as for so long I have been terrible at this. Obviously your makeup will lay better on the skin at its healthiest, but I think I have just been a little lazy. I am seeing these exfoliating brushes everywhere so it should give a deep cleanse, well I believe that’s the idea.

I hope you found some of your favourite products, if you have used any of these let me know what you think.

DIY Pink Ombre Hair at Home | Under £10.00

I am head over heels in love with the rainbow and pastel hair colours at the moment. After not dying my hair for 2 years to let it recuperate I decided I was going to go for a bright bold purple. I was returning home to Sheffield and I always tend to get my hair done when I'm up north as its significantly cheaper. When I had my hair coloured at the salon it was a very deep dark grey purple and I did like it but it was nothing like I wanted. A part of me felt like I had just wasted £70 on getting something done which I didn't go in for, its like when you buy an expensive product and its rubbish. It did start to wash out after a few weeks and eventually I was left with this Grey/Blonde Ombre with hint of lilac. I really started to hate it as it looked like a really dirty colour, I asked a friend who is a hairdresser if she could get it purple for me but she was booked up for 8 weeks; I definitely wasn't waiting that long!

I made the decision to take the plunge and experiment with a box dye. The dye I chose is a very vivid and beautiful colour, it is the Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL HD Ultra Brights in 94 Purple Punk. At first I was very nervous as I have been told Schwarzkopf colours are quite hard to get out of your hair. At this point my hair was quite light so I thought it would lay on my hair easily. Myself and my friend Helen who volunteer to help me, mixed the colour with quite a lot of condition to dilute the colour so it didn't come out super bright. Helen applied the dye to my hair and then I washed and then blow it, we were both very disappointed with the colour. The purple did not taken at all, we put it down to too much condition and my hair needed to be lighter.

At that point we made a plan to dip dye it blonde and then apply the purple with a small amount of conditioner. So a few days later we did just that, the blonde ombre was the L'Oreal Paris Feria Extreme Ombre in the Shade E02 Extreme Platinum Blonde. This is your normal box dye that you have to mix yourself and this set comes with what they call the Expert Brush. I am 100% in love with this thing, its the perfect brush for ombre hair dyes; it just combs the product through the hair creating a perfect gradient. 

The purple was next but unfortunately my camera battery died, I really do need to purchase a spare one. This means I was unable to film Helen putting the purple into my hair but it is the same process of how Helen applied the blonde in my hair. When Helen had finished the colour had been on my hair for 20 minutes or so, but I wanted to give it another 20 minutes to really soak in.

I was so happy when I dried and styled my hair, the gradient was flawless and a lot people I know made it clear that it looked better than what a professional salon did. That was quite a nice thing to hear as it was completely an experiment. I didn't really know how it was going to come out or if I would like it at all.

The Purple Punk is now £3.50 and the Extreme Ombre is £6.49, both from Boots. That is a total price of £9.99 for a statement hair colour.

The Purple Punk is 100% a type of Pink, I would never call it purple but it does have some tones of purple in. I think it all depends on the shades of your blonde before you put the colour on.

Please watch the step by step tutorial on my channel for my new Pink Ombre Hair.

Strobing Trend | Summer Glow Makeup Look

When Mario Dedivanovic became Kim Kardashian's personal makeup artist they both made the contouring technique the new makeup craze, and it seemed nothing could take over. Contouring is obviously still and will always be a huge makeup trend as it can make such a difference to the shape of the face. However there seems to be a new craze. The new STROBING trend seems not to have taken over but to have become a trend in its own right.

My question with this trend,

'IS THIS ACTUALLY A NEW TREND?'

Strobing has been around for years but it's just been given a new fancy name. In the whole scheme of things Strobing is just the promoted name for Highlighting.

The idea of strobing is to Highlight the key features of the face and it is a great trick to make your skin look flawlessly smooth. You do need to be care with this though as your skin needs to be relatively smooth in order for this to work. If you apply highlighter to the skin with a break out then it will just highlight the top of the breakout, making this more visible. If I was suffering from a breakout I would not go anywhere near it with a highlighter.

I am in love with Dewy/Summer Glow looking skin. I think it looks effortless and healthy. It is perfect for the summer period, but a dream throughout the winter months. Just because the weather is dark and drury, it doesn't mean your makeup has to be.

This look demonstrates how flawless and perfect the skin can look. The Highlighter will do most of the work for you as the metallic tones in the Highlighter will reflect the light; giving the impression of silky smooth skin.

This is a very fresh look, there isn't a great amount of detail to it as I wanted to make it more about the strobing technique.

The key areas I apply my Highlighter to are, 

Tops of the cheek bones

Above the eyebrow & the eyebrow bone

Down the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose

Centre of the forehead

Top of the cupids bow

Centre of the chin

The Highlighter you use is very important, it needs to be a nice shade to match your skin tone but it doesn't want to have glitter in it otherwise you will start to look like a discoball. I swear by The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer. Its a beautiful light golden shade that has the right amount of Shimmer. I have used the Makeup Academy Undress Your Skin Highlighters before and they are a dream especially for £3.00, such a bargain.

Getting Lost In It

If you are a Makeup or any type of Art enthusiast you will understand the term 'Just Getting Lost In It'. This is so easy to do when you’re creative freedom is let loose and your eyes start to see the world and life in a whole new light. After my makeup post 'Butterfly Tropics', I developed a love for over exaggerated makeup. That look was very colorful and vibrant; I began to feel I needed to experiment with darker and gothic inspired tones. I didn't want it to look vampire-esque as I do feel sometimes it can become slightly childlike and you start to morph towards a Halloween inspired look. I wanted to keep it high fashion and have a depth of femininity to it.

I feel there is a lot of movement in this look even though makeup obviously doesn't move. What I mean by this, is that you can move around with this type of look and it redefines the shape of your face from all different angles. It is mind blowing how you can change the face with makeup by targeting certain areas to enhance certain features, and hiding those flaws that you don't want people to see.

You can see this in the transformation below; the look is very heavily focused around the eyes and the eyebrows. However I am very happy I stayed true to my vision that darkness doesn't need to be blood and gore. It reminds me of a very sensual Queen of The Damned type of look.

 Products Used

Bourgois Healthy Mix Foundation | Vanilla

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer | Light

The Balm May Lou-Manizer

Makeup Revolution Redemption Eyeshadow Palette Essential Mattes

MUA Single Pearl Eyeshadow | Electric Purple

Eyeko Making Eyes Gel Eyeliner | Plum Wine

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Makeup Revolutions Amazing Lipstick | Black Heart

As you can see from the Products used above, not a lot of makeup was used for this look and surprisingly it did not feel heavy. I really liked wearing it actually; it was such a change to what society deems your everyday makeup to be.

I hope you like this fun look and if you have any inspirational looks you would like me to experiment with then please these those in the comments below. If you are a blogger and would like to collaborate on an exaggerated post please either leave your comments below, email me or tweet me. I will definitely get back to you.
