Hair

i reeaallyyyy want to do something with my hair.

Recently i have really wanted to grow it.

It used to be quite long- past my boobs-

But last summer i cut it off to about sholder length with really short choppy layers.

Since then- which has been about a 8 months(ish.) the layers have grown out alot.

But the length hasn't really seemed to changed.

~Does anyone know what i can do to help grow my hair?.~

I really want to put some colour into it.

i was thinking a light golden/chocolaty colour wth maybe a few very very subtle highlights running through.

:)

My natural colour is quite an ashy/smokey toned brown,( in the photo above) which i like, but i think it is abit boring and flat.

i will update this post when i find some ideas :)

Comparision

Okay, so as of quite resently, i have lost my make-up bag!

And in it was all my 'good' 'everyday' make-up.

And much to my dispare it contained my MAC Studio Sculpt foundation and concealer.

Which is my holy grail at the moment as my skin is not looking it's best.

it makes my skin look even, clear and has a natural healthy dewy glow ito it- who could ask for more?:)

SO as i was getting ready to go out this morning, i dug deep in to my foundations and re-discovered my Revlon Colour Stay liquid foundation.

This foundation has been very comparable to MAC foundation- mainly Studio Finish. As i have not tryed that foundation, i am using this opotunity to compare the MAC Studio Sculpt foundation and the Revlon Colour Stay foundation:

Colours:

I am an NW20 in MAC studio sculpt- i am quite pale-.

and 18c Sand Beige in Revlons

both look natural on my skin, and don't look orangy.

Application:

I use my fingers for both, i have tryed brushes and sponges, but i find using my fingers is the best way to acheive that natural look.
However the Revlon Colour Stay, is much thicker, and needs to be blended quite quickly otherwise it will streak!
The Studio Sculpt is easier to blend as it is smoother consistancy, and much lighter feeling.

Cost:
It is obvious that Revlon will be cheaper- it is £11.47 at Superdrug who are having a 3 for 2 offer at the moment.
Studio Sculpt costs £22.50 at MAC
both product amounts are 30ml or 1 Fl Oz.

Look on the skin:

Revlon's marketed to give 'flawless looking skin'. and a look that 'looks fresh and feels great for up to 16 hours' which feels 'lightweight' and comfortable'

MACs is Marketed to be a 'gel-based foundation that provides medium buildable to high coverage with a natural satin finish' it also says that skin will be 'smooth, soft and plush. and is also 'Long-wearing, water-resistant.'

Both turn out just as they say, however when using the Studio Sculpt i always set with either my MAC skin finish natural in light, or Collection 2000 perfecting minerals otherwise my face does look a little too shiny -in my opinion-.

Where as the revlon does not need the powder, it has a much more of a matte finish to it.

OVERVIEW:

MAC gives a more dewy, satin finish and Revlon gives a more matte finish.

both have about the same covarage, however MAC is more buildable, Revlons can look too 'cakey' if built up too much.

this is a picture of revlons foundation it looks matte, and my skin looks even and clear.

This is a (not so flattering) picture of me with Studio sculpt- Much more dewy looking but very good coverage.

Colour range:

MAC- 23 colour choices

Revlon-20 colour choices. Which is really good for a drug store foundation.

Okay, so there is my little comparison, hopefully you found it usefull! :) :)

Take Care. x

Cheap as chips

This is my first proper entry :) eeeek :)
This is my first make-up look too!
It is entirley created using cheap products.

All the eye shadows are out of the 120 pro pallet, other wise know as the 'mainly pallet' purchased from ebay for about £20- making each pan eyeshadow 0.166 p

Firstly:
I used a pale irridesent white all over the lid up to the brow bone:

* i do apologise, my eyebrows are in terrible need of threading! and i am experiencing that 'bad skin day' feeling.

Secondly:

I used an orangy light brown colour in my crease:


* The brown is quite thick along the crease, and mainly on the lid than brow bone. Blend in with the white

Thirdly:

I applied a dark-cadbury colour- purple to the outer V and alomg the crease thinly:

*i used a small liner brush, and blended like mad. this gives the eye a 'pop' of colour and brings out brown/hazle/green eyes alot.

Fourthly:

Apply black liner to top lash line, and flick outwards:

* i used Revlon Colour Stay Liquid Eyeliner, and applied with a rimmel London small flat brush. To do the flick line the brush end up from the tip of your nose to the end of yor eyebrow, and draw a line at that angle.

Lastly:

Apply Mascara to the top and bottom lashes:

* i used Rimmel LOndon MAGNIF'EYES. i also put a dark brown shadow on my eyebrows as they are very pale, and in need of a proffesional grooming!

i hope you enjoyed my first blog :)

and take care ♥
