Club L Cut Away Bralet £13.00 (Republic), Miso Leggings £8.00 (Republic), Blink Leopard Platform Heels £45.00 (Republic), Violent Lips The Leopard £10.00 (Selfridges) & Nail Rock Leopard £6.65 (Nail Rock).

New Trend: Plaits

By August 18, 2012 Beauty, Fashion

Another huge hair trend is the Plait. Again, quite a few celebrities are rocking this trend, just like the Undercut. So here are a few pictures…. (Pictures found via Marie Claire)

Rihanna

I think this look is quite nice on Rihanna, but in another way it looks very fake, and cheap, so I would probably say that her Undercut looks was better.

Blake Lively

This look is again, quite nice, but I don’t think I like the way the hair is scraped back, and to be honest the plait isn’t the best, so sorry Blake, I don’t really like this!

Scarlet Johanssen

Scarlet rocks this look! It is very girly, and the fact that she has it all up in plaits is really nice, and it suits her face shape really well. Thumbs up to you, Mrs Johanssen.

Sienna Miller

Again, a braided up-do. I like how she works it imperfect, it makes it look very cute, and girly, and fun. If you want a look for the festival, this is it!

Jessica Lowndes

I think Jessica works this type of plait best. It is very simple, and chic, and it looks great! Another big thumbs up!

Whitney Port

This is my favourite celebrity plait! I love the half up half down style. It is very cute, and id you want a bridal look, this is perfect!

Please leave any comments on what you think about any of these styles!

LUSH Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

By August 17, 2012 Beauty

About 4 weeks ago I bought my first Lush product. I had been wanting one for ages, and the time finally came! I haven’t had the time to have a nice relaxing bath until now, so haven’t been able to do a review, so here it is now…

First of all, I want to talk about the customer service in Lush. When I first entered the store they ignored me, even though I was the only one in the store, which was maybe the size of some people’s bedrooms. They didn’t recommend any products, which would’ve been helpful, as I had no clue on which one to buy. Secondly, the reason I chose this bath bomb, was because it was the biggest of the cheaper bath bombs. I thought it was about £2.50 at first, and then it was £3, so you might want to check the prices. This bath bomb smelt very faint in the store, but once I was out, it smelt quite strong. It is a purple/blue/pink colour, and it is actually quite big. It says ‘BOMB’ on it, and is supposedly meant to have something in it.

When I put it into the bath, it fizzed really well. The colour was very strong, and the smell was more blackberry like, than out of the water. The bath was purple by the time it had completely fizzed (By the way, I was using half.), and the water felt amazing! In other reviews on this bath bomb, people have said it makes the water feel silky, and I thought, how can it make the water feel silky? But, it does! It feels amazing! If you do want to use the whole bath bomb in one use, seriously don’t, because it will be a waste, as half is quite enough! My skin doesn’t feel much different which was a let down, because I was expecting it to have some sort of moisturiser, but I think that is what the ‘bath melts’ are for.

I would definitely, highly recommend only using half for one use. You can do this by cutting it down the middle mould line, with a sharp knife. If you want a stronger smell, then either use the whole, or don’t go for this bath bomb.

Overall, it is very good, very silky and smells quite nice, and is a very good size.

Size: 9/10 – Big, and can be used twice.

Scent: 8/10 – Nice, but not the best, and not very strong.

Style: 7/10 – Plain and simple.

Overall: 8.5/10 – Nice, and good for your first try of a Lush Bath Bomb.

Would I recommend: Yes.

New Trend: Undercuts

By August 17, 2012 Beauty, Fashion

 

If you haven’t seen already, Miley Cyrus has had a dramatic hair cut, in the style of the ‘Undercut’. To be honest, I love Miley, but her hair is terrible right now! Many other celebrities have gone for this style this A/W, so here are some pictures (Found via The Telegraph).

Yasmin Le Bon

I think Yasmin does this style well, especially at her age. The Telegraph say that it reminds them of David Beckham’s hair, which I totally agree with. It is very rock chic, and stylish, so I give her a big thumbs up!

Rihanna

I think Rihanna suits this look, as it is not too full on, and it just looks very Rihanna-ish. Thumbs up to ‘Ri-Ri’.

Ellie Goulding

I didn’t actually recognise Ellie Goulding in this picture This look is very daring for some people, and in my opinion, I think she should of kept the hair! Maybe next time she’ll go for a less outgoing style!

Miley Cyrus

As I said, I love Miley Cyrus. First she had long brunette hair, then she went lighter, then she went shorter, and then she went blonde, and now she is blonde & shaved! I really don’t like this look on her! I hope she has a different style for her wedding, because I don’t think this would go down to well! Maybe she was trying to fit in with trend, but I think she should of just stayed with blonde, which to be honest, I don’t particularly like on her either!

Please leave any comments on what you think about the above pictures!

Bulk Beauty Reviews & Recommendations

By August 12, 2012 Beauty

My mum is clearing out a load of make-up, so I decided to some reviews on a few things, that she had recommended.

This set is great! It includes everything for great feeling skin. I especially love the Moisturising Mist, and Body Lotion, as they both smell great, and feel amazing. The Mist is like a toner, but does more. The Body Lotion is great for dry skin, and is great for just relaxing! I have the smaller Body Butter myself, and I love it. It is great for after showers and baths, so you can lock in all the moisture!

Scent: 8/10 – Nice, fresh smell that is great for when you want to feel special.

Look: 9/10 – Soap & Glory always make their products look vintage, which I love!

Overall:  8.5/10 – This set is great, especially for gifts, or just for yourself!

Dior:

My mum loves these Dior products. The Airflash gives a healthy glow, and a natural tint, and is also very easy to apply. It is great for light skin, and oily skin, because it has a silky matte finish. The Bronzer is great as it only comes out very fine, and you can add however much you want!

Application (Foundation): 8.5/10 – Good, but not the best as a spray. (Bronzer): 8.5/10 – Again, good, but not the best as a spray.

Tint (Foundation): 9/10 – Light, natural, silky matte finish. (Bronzer): 8/10 – Good amount of tint and colour.

Overall (Foundation): 8/10 -Would recommend, but not the best. (Bronzer): 8/10 – Again, would recommend, but not the best.

Chanel:

My mum has some other Chanel Foundations, which she loves, so she recommended this one, because it is very compact, and small, meaning it is great for your handbag! It has great coverage, and goes on really well, and it has a nice matte colour.

Application: 9/10 – Goes on well, and the coverage is great.

Tint: 8/10 – Good colour, but not very strong. You may need to set with powder.

Overall: 8.5/10 – Nice, and natural, would recommend.

L’Oreal:

This is quite a good spray tan, but it doesn’t really go on very well. It can streak if you aren’t careful. It is a nice colour, which is a healthy bronze, and not a tanned orange. It runs out quickly, so if you are very pale, I would go for a bigger one.

Tint: 9/10 – Healthy, bronze tint.

Spray: 7/10 – Can be streaky, so be careful

Overall: 8/10 – Good, but I would only use it for a ‘touch up’.

Garnier:

This is a very good spray tan. It goes on well, it is a nice colour, and it doesn’t come off easily. It lasts a long time, and looks very natural. You may need to wipe around your ankles to blend the colour, because otherwise it will drip, and look like a tan line.

Tint: 9/10 – Healthy, natural tint.

Spray: 8.5/10 – Easy, and good coverage. Be careful on the ankles.

Overall: 9/10 – Very good, and natural. Also, very long lasting

I hope you enjoyed these short and simple reviews, and that you get some idea of these products!
