Floral Vamp

I have been in love with this two piece since I bought it! It is a pink embroidery Bra-let and Midi 60's inspired Skirt. It is one of my favourite outfits that I have in my wardrobe. The material is so beautiful and the embroidery is stitched to perfection, although it is a little heavy but that it to be expected with this much detail. The purple, pink, blue and green metallic detail contrasts incredibly from the plain black background, it reminds me of what a magical garden on the planet of Pandora (Avatar) would look like. 

The Bra-let is very low cut which I am not use to wearing, I did start to feel like my boobs were trying to escape, but I was at a bar all night and there was no accidents. I would advise to wear a Bra-let like this around people you trust or attach a button or clip of some sort. Unfortunately I experienced this the hard way when some idiot thought it would be a clever idea to unzip it in the middle of a town centre. It wasn't my brightest moment but we live and we learn, not to be friends with arseholes that it! It is perfectly comfortable and I am able to wear this without a bra so the support is very important.

I love 60's inspired Midi Skirts like this one. I just think they are so feminine and elegant, perfect for any shape or size. This one is a size 8 and I do think if I was any bigger I may die from suffocation. I am normally a size 10 but my waist is a size 8 or smaller so it does get a bit difficult when buying clothes that sit on my waist. Buying high-waisted jeans or a bikini is a like having a fight with myself. 

CURVY PROBLEMS!

With this two piece being so vibrant and decorative I needed my accessories to tone it down so I went with a simple pair of black Sandals and a black Bum Bag. This Bum Bag is probably on of my favourite things at the moment. Yes it is small so I couldn't take everything out with me however not having to carry anything on a night out is a like dream. It goes with everything, whether you want to go casual or smart, its just the perfect little bag especially to have on holiday.

I decided to go for a very dark vampy look with my makeup. This dark purple lip and the smokey eyes just add an ounce of depth and an almost gothic-like edge to this look. I think it all work so perfectly especially with those loose natural waves.

Curly Hair Care Haul and First Impressions

I have been looking for the best product's for curly hair for quite a while now. My method is a mixture of my natural curls and Curling Tongs, however I was starting to notice that my hair was starting to look frizzy. To find the perfect product you can continually research to look for reviews, but everyone's hair is different so just because it works for someone it doesn't necessarily mean its going to be the perfect product for you. Trial and Era is my method of finding products that work for me.

On my way home I stopped by Boots to find some good products for my curly hair. I was looking for some Hair Spray, Curling Crème, Definition Curling Spray and Shampoo and Conditioner. After mooching around Boots for as long as I could before they shut I bought the products listed below and used them the very same evening.

 

 

L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hair Spray So Sleek Extra Strength 400ml (£6.70)

 

L’Oréal is one of my favourite high-street brands and I have seen this hair spray all over the TV and advertisements. I bought the biggest can you can purchase as it was three for two so I thought I might as well. It feels really lightweight on your hair, not sticky but provides a good hold. It keeps my curls in for a while before they start to drop which will eventually happen due to the length and weight of my hair. The only thing I didn’t think about when buying this can size is that I have quite small hands, so it does get a bit difficult when spraying my hair and holding the can with the same hand. I sometimes have to move to both hands which starts to look a little weird. Its a nice lightweight product with a firm hold and non sticky so I completely understand why this hairspray is one of the more popular choices.

 

John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Styling Spray 200ml (£5.99)

This spray I absolutely love, it defines my curls perfectly. I spray it on my newly washed hair when its damp, along with the Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Crème and it smells lovely. Perfect for ringlet curls or wavy hair. I did slowly blow-dry my hair upside down and it made my hair feel thicker and gave it more body. So if you have thin hair it might be worth trying this product to add some body and volume into your hair.

Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Natural Styling Crème (£6.00)

This crème feels like a moisturiser, it is very thin in consistency and doesn’t feel sticky at all. I decided to try this as the sales assistant in Boots advised me that her mum uses this range for her curly hair and swears by this cream. It smells lovely and just glides through your hair. This product combined with the John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Styling Spray gave my hair instant volume. Even if your hair isn’t curly but you like a full body head of hair I would 100% advise you to try this combination.

Umberto Giannini Pure Curl Friends Detangling Shampoo (£6.00)

This shampoo isn’t the best shampoo I have ever tried. I had to use quite lot for it to even cover all of my hair. Yes I have a lot of hair but it didn’t even make my hair feel nice. As I was rubbing the shampoo into my hair I noticed straight away that it made my hair feel so dry, almost straw like. I think the packaging is beautiful and instantly gives it a high quality product appearance, but in my opinion this shampoo does not work for me. I think I get better results with my original Tremsemme Shampoo, even if this shampoo was to be amazing for curls I cannot get around how it makes my hair feel. I would not recommend this shampoo but if you love then please leave your comments below.

Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Smooth Curls Intensive Conditioner (£6.00)

As I said above the packaging for this Hair Care range is just too beautiful. The pink packaging just instantly caught my attention. The conditioner made my hair feel so much smoother after applying the dreaded shampoo, however I wouldn’t necessarily buy it again. I didn’t notice any drastic difference to non-curling conditioners I have used.

Pro-Voke Touch Of Silver Silver Shine Weekly Shampoo (£3.19)

It was not my plan to buy this shampoo but I am so glad I did. I know a lot of people who use the silver shampoo to instantly brighten their hair instead of constantly colouring their natural blonde. I did not think I would see an instant difference as it says use twice a week on the bottle but this stuff is incredible. I noticed that my hair was so much brighter and trust me when I say, a small amount goes a long way. A small amount of this shampoo covered my whole head of thick hair and as I kept rubbing it into my hair the lather of the shampoo just got thicker and thicker. I would 100% advise that you try this if you want to brighten your hair.

Natural Curly Hair Routine

My hair has changed so much over the years, its become more curly as I have grown up. It was more a less straight when I was very young and it started to get thicker and curlier in my teens. However until recently I didn't really know what to do with it as I didn't really experiment with my hair texture. I don't have naturally perfect curls, so for some time now I have experimented with different routines and products to make my curly hair look natural.  

My routine consists of the tips and tricks that will define the curls and avoid the frizz. All of our hair is different, that is something that needs to be remembered, so this may work perfectly for you but not for the next person. However you have to try different routines and products in order to find the best routine for yourself and your hair. That is the only way that I found that this routine works for myself.

You will Need:

Water Spray Bottle
Towel

Styling Gel 

Spray Hairspray (Non Aerosol)

Hair Dryer 

Hair Curlers

The products I use are the Chunky Texturing Glaze by Charles Worthington and the Tresemme Spray Hairspray, however these have now discontinued so if you use any good curling products then make sure you leave them in the comments below. I would avoid aerosol hairspray and mouse as in my experience they make your curls go frizzy and leave a wet look which doesn't look natural.

The curlers I have loved for so long are the Andrew Collinge Pro-Z Curling Tong but they are now broken. There was nothing wrong with the curlers however the wires became exposed and my mum forced me to throw them away as they were a hazard. That was a very sad moment and it got worse when I realised I couldn't buy them again as they are also discontinued. These curling tongs give you the most natural curl as they are not a round barrel, so if you want natural curls then definitely try the flat shape curling tong. If you know of a quality flat curling tong then leave that below as I will need to buy a replacement.

This routine takes me no longer than 15 minutes in the morning, its actually a lot quicker than drying my hair and it will stay in for 3-5 days. I do tend to top it up on a daily basis, so if you have naturally curly or wavy hair then it is a low maintenance hair style.

Please watch my 'Natural Curly Hair Routine' video now live on my channel to try this routine and see whether it works for you. If you do try this then make sure to leave your comments below to your conclusion.

If you have any request, suggestions or any comments at all then please leave them below.

See you soon!
