Review | Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes

Hey guys! I feel like all this blogging jazz is starting to become more regular, and I seem to have a lot a products that I just want to share with you guys. This will be quite a short post so I will just get straight too it, and stop rambling! 

I recently had my hair highlighted, I have had my hair highlighted many of times before but it has never really been the colour I had in my mind, and my hairdresser used to leave the bleach on for as long as she had time for, which usually left my hair slightly ginger! I finally decided I needed a something drastic doing, so I contacted one of my friends who I used to study hairdressing with and she actually managed to turn me into a blonde!

So for every one that has had their hair bleached will know that it really dries your hair out, and after a few weeks bleach blonde hair sometimes turns a little yellow! 

After searching for a few weeks for a perfect Blonde shampoo I came across the Lee Stafford bleach blonde ranch, I only bought two of the products for now to give them ago, I bought the shampoo and conditioner! 

Too start with I would also like to add that I actually really like the packaging of these, just because they are squeezey tubes which will allow you too get every last drop out! This is my biggest problem with the other products I use, the first half of the bottle is fine, and the second half you spend all of your time fighting with it! 

Now onto the actual product, the shampoo is really odd just because it doesn't lather, but it still cleans and nourishes your hair, and the conditioner doesn't feel much different to any other conditioner! But after using this a few times I can really see a different all of my brassy yellow tones are disappearing and my hair looks refreshed like I've just had it highlighted! I would highly recommend this product to any one with bleached hair! 

Ooh also, don't be put off by the colour of the shampoo! It's purple! And it goes onto your hair purple! But it washes off, I promise! 

Thanks for reading :)

YSL Rouge Volupte | Peach Passion

Hey guys, so seeing as summer is nearly over and it will soon be time to turn out all the dark clothes and darker make up, I thought I should probably get this blog post in fairly quickly, although I will still probably wear this item through winter it is definitely more of a summer shade. With out further ado, it is of course the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in Peach Passion.

Even the packaging and presentation of this item just makes you want to buy it, anyway onto the actual lipstick, I will be completely honest alot of the make up that I buy is usually after reading someone's blog, or watching a haul or tutorial on YouTube! 

I am actually became obsessed with this item after watching Zoella on YouTube, and if you also are addicted to watching her videos you will know she always talks about this item, and after seeing how great it looked on her I decided to splurge out.

The only thing that put me off buying this item was the price, it retails for around £24 which compared to a lot of other lipsticks on the market at the moment it is a little pricey, but worth every penny. I promise!

When you apply this lipstick it feels like you are applying a lip balm, but with a really intense pigment, I found this lipstick stays on a lot longer than others in the same price bracket, I also found when you apply this lipstick its quite silky and smooth when you apply it, and it almost dries onto your lips and you can't even feel that you have lipstick on, I honestly don't have one bad word to say about this product, it's so luxurious and worth every penny!

Sorry for rambling on a little there, I felt like I had so many good things to say that I couldn't fit them all in.

Thanks for reading.

Nails Inc | Fiji

Hey guys, so as some of you are aware I recently turned 21, and as part as part of my birthday celebrations my closest friends decided to take me to Bournemouth. I havent actually been on holiday this year, so I was using this weekend as my holiday break. Although most of the weekend was spent enjoying the nightlife we did manage to fit in some shopping. My friends are also quite into make up and beauty products like myself so the first shop on our list was of course Boots! The Boots where I live is tiny, I live in a small town in wiltshire and all of our shops are fairly small, so I decided to take advantage of the massive Boots we found in Bournemouth, I will admit I may have slightly overspent and bought a few items that I didnt need, and probably wont use, they were just easy on the eye. I will do a separate blog post on all the other bits and bobs I bought, but onto my favourite purchase...

Fiji by Essie nail polish, I was recently catching up on a few of Tanya Burrs YouTube videos, and she often wears this gorgeous pale pink almost white nail polish, which is fiji by Essie. The boots in my town doesnt actually have Essie stand which is rather annoying considering its my go to brand for nail polish, but everytime I have had a day out shopping I have kept my eyes open for it, but its always out of stock, obviously everyone else must agree that the colour is too die for. Anyway whilst I was in Boots in Bournemouth I managed to find my self one, the last one on the shelf, it was like it knew I was  coming! 

I painted my nails as soon as I got back to the hotel room ready for the night ahead. I was a little worried that because my skin is quite pale, as so is the nail varnish that would be pretty much the same colour as my skin and it would all blend into one, but thankfully it was okay and actually made me look more tanned. 

I did find with this nail polish that two coats was definitely needed, unlike some of Essie polishes, but I guess this was expected with a light shade. I also love the shape of the brush with Essie polish, it fits perfectly onto my nails. I painted my nails 3 days ago and I still dont have any chips, and it still looks nice and bright. 

I think although this is a light shade I would probably still wear this through the winter its such a pretty shade and goes with almost everything. You do pay a little bit extra for Essie nail polish but it is definitely worth the extra couple of pound.

Thanks for reading I hope this review helped!

YouTube!

Hey guys so if you have read my previous post you will know that I recently was lucky enough to be bought a DSLR camera for my birthday, and have decided that I am going to put more effort into my Blog, and I was debating starting a YouTube account, well I have actually decided to just go for it, the video I have uploaded isn't the best and I still haven't got my head around editing my videos after! But atleast it's a start, and hopefully they will get easier and more enjoyable to make, and I will feel more comfortable in front of a camera!

Anyway the link for my YouTube video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DikQMpBt0lQ&feature=youtu.be 

Hopefully I can start posting a few more videos the more comfortable I get!
