HAIR INSPO #1

source: pinterest

I have become increasingly bored with my hair over the past few months and thought that a hair inspo post was due to give myself, and maybe you, a few ideas for hair styles/colours/cuts. My hair is long and blonde - quite boring really! I find it quite hard to style and just boring. From the pictures, you may be able to tell that I have fallen in love with the look of bouncy waves (a hairstyle my hair refuses to do!) I included both short hair and long hair as they both look utterly gorgeous! My love for short(ish) hair has stemmed from Lily Melrose as her hair always looks so effortless, although I could never bring myself to get my hair cut as I've had long hair for as long as I can remember! If I ever did go for the chop, it's handy to know that online shops, for example www.besthairbuy.com stock a variety of real human hair extensions to suit any hair type, colour or style meaning they blend in to your own hair perfectly! www.besthairbuy.com is extensions galore with clip in hair extensions, weaves, micro rings, pre bonded, tape in, brazillan hair. For the 2014 hair trends, they also have ombre hair extensions in all sorts of styles: straight, loose waves, very curly. Many of the hair extensions can also be dyed over due to them being human hair which is great if you're one to change up your look a lot as you don't have to buy a new set! 

If I were to ever get the chop, I would certainly go to www.besthairbuy.com for hair extensions if I ever needed them as they have the best prices around and amazing  quality.

Hey guys!

I hope you're enjoying the bank holiday, I know I am! Today's post is a face of the day. I haven't done many of these and I can't even remember when the last one was, so it's about time I do another one! I don't know about you, but I love face of the day type posts- I love seeing what make up people are using (or am I just a bit nosey?) Anyway, let's get on with the post, because the sun is finally shining and the skies are blue, I've decided to change round a few bits and pieces in my make up routine to look a bit more natural and fresh faced in the sun! I have also been experimenting with my hair a bit more because I want to try out some more styles, although in the picture my hair is just sort of straight (I straightened it a couple of days ago so it isn't as straight as it was) with this gorgeous head band in! I can't remember where I got this headband from but there is a similar version here. I know primark are doing the Lana Del Rey type which I am dying to get! I usually don't do much with my hair and it's usually wavy and frizzy so I like these types of headbands to give my hair a bit of something different!

Products used:

collection lasting perfection concealer - 1 fair

elf eyebrow kit - ash blonde

bourjois fan-tastic mascara

rimmel stay matte powder

sleek contour kit

Although a rarity, when it's hot and sunny where I live, I like to go foundation free and just wear concealer, which was a complete NO before I found the collection lasting perfection concealer! There is so much buzz surrounding it on the blogosphere, and I for one have also been hyping it up since I got it last autumn. I put it mainly in the center of my face and then blend it out, and then put a little extra on blemishes. I find this is such a good colour match for my skin, better than any foundation I've tried, and covers so well! For my eyebrows, I didn't want to go too heavy so I used the powder in my ELF eyebrow kit in ash blonde (a supposed dupe for omega by mac) and just lightly filled in my brows. I then used the bourjois fan-tastic mascara (review here) for a bit of definition for my poor blonde eyelashes. Then my rimmel stay matte powder which is AMAZING. It's amazing for summer especially because it prevents my skin from becoming shiny all day! Then to finish, my sleek contour kit to add a bit of shape and warmth to my face, which i lack terribly.

Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
