Dip dye hair extensions | Hairtrade

Turquoise dip dye hair extensions  | Hairtrade *

 

I was recently sent these gorgeous hair extensions from Hairtrade and I was asked to share my thoughts. Hairtrade sell some amazing goodies including good offers from all your favourite hair brands such as TGI, Moroccanoil and GHD along with many other nail care items and fragrances. They also sell a huge range of hair extensions so whether you want to lengthen your hair, highlight your hair, thicken your hair or add some cool colours into your hair, Hairtrade have a set to suit any ones needs.

 

These hair extensions also come in a variety of colours and dip dye colours. If you have short hair and/or thick hair like me, then you will probably need 2 - 3 sets as these are to thin to look natural with only one set. I created a look by mixing them with another set of 18" hair extensions to create a pretty up do with turquoise hints running throughout it. 

 

As you can probably tell, this isn't me and is actually my mum who has shoulder length hair so I added the 18" set of hair extensions in to add volume and to thicken up her hair and then the blue ones slightly higher on her head to add the accent colour of turquoise. I took inspiration from Zoellas milkmaid braid video which is so easy to follow so you should definitely check it out. (This was also the first time I have ever tried to do this hair style so it might not be absolutely perfect but I still like it.)

 

Overall I absolutely love this pair of extensions. These retail for £19.99 and are the 18" set. I wish I had much longer hair so I could wear these all day everyday! I would definitely recommend that you check out Hairtrades website even if you aren't looking for a pair of hair extensions!

Cobalt Blue

Dress | WalG *

Watch | ebay
Clutch | Newlook (AW13)

Midi ring | Primark (Pack of three)

Statment ring | Primark

Boots | Primark (AW13)

WalG recently offered to send me a dress from their amazing line of clothes for me to try and style. I chose the royal blue cam dress as I thought it would be perfect for summer and I love wearing anything royal blue. This dress is really well made and at a really good price aswell. It is also lovely and light. If you are thinking of getting this dress then I would reccomend going a size bigger. I am usually a size 10 in most clothing items so I went for the medium option which is a 10-12 instead of a small which is a 8-10 and it fits perfectly.

Spookyeyes coloured contact lenses | Reveiw

Spiral blue contact lenses from spookyeyes.com *

I was kindly sent these contact lenses from a company called Spooky Eyes recently after wanting to try coloured contact lenses out for a while. They have so many different pairs to choose from on their website from very natural ones (like the ones I chose) to amazing Halloween ones so if your looking to try out some coloured contacts then I suggest you search here first! Mine took under a week to get to me and their p&p is free! What more could you want?

You can also buy care kits and solution to go alongside your contacts so that you can keep them for much longer than one wear, these are available here. Once opened, they last for up to 12 months. 

Mine are soft contacts which make them weightless and flexible and look really natural. They are also really comfortable and high quality. Contacts are quite easy to put in once you know how despite what many people say. I have very dark brown eyes so when I put mine in, it made my pupil look huge as you can't tell the brown from the black but they look so cool and would look great on Halloween as a subtle feature.

Be who you are. | Motivational Monday #2

Being a teenager, I know that there is a lot of pressure put on you to 'dress perfectly', 'act perfectly' and to just fit in but is there such thing as  the perfect way to dress and to act? 

In Society there will always be a certain stereotype that you're expected to be and a certain path you are expected to take. I get looked down upon by my peers because I do not wish to attend university, I do not wish to go to 6th form and get A-levels either. I just simply want to go off to college and study a subject I enjoy for a few years but sometimes it is hard to fight your case on why the 'right path' isn't the path you wish to take. 

This is one of the quotes I have saved on my Ipad and will be printed out and hopefully put into my office/work area in the future as it is such a stand out quote for me. It reminds me that there is no need to follow the latest trends in topshop but instead to find your own trend and stick to that. If people give you strange looks well, they're clearly the sort who are stuck in a robotic trend follower bubble and do not know how to escape, and trust me, that is never a good place to be. Even the worlds greatest designers such as Coco Chanel and Yves saint Laurent started somewhere. 

Sometimes the person you are expected to be, whether it is your parents ideal or the person society expects you to be, isn't always necessarily the best person for you to be. Only you know what is right for you and if you don't know exactly what you want to do in the future or what your personal style is then experiment - yolo (Yes, I just said yolo but it is quite fitting.)

She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans. | Motivational Monday #1

Hello you lovely bunch of people, Today is the grand unveiling of my new series on my blog which is named 'Motivational Monday'. I have spent sometime trying to write a blog post on self confidence but it needs a bit of work and will sadly not be available for you to read for a few weeks as it needs tweaking and it is a long and quite a deep post so until I pull my stuff together and finish that post, I decided to begin spreading some confidence and motivation around by posting a new blogpost every Monday with a lovely little quote on it to hopefully stop the Monday blues.

I like to surround my self with happy quotes and motivational ones too as a reminder of the possibilities the future could bring me and to continuously remind me that anything is possible as long as I put my mind to it and work my bum off to get there but surprisingly these things do actually work.

 This picture always reminds me of something that my Nan would say to me. My Nan is my rock and whenever I'm sad all the tears fall onto her and she is the main person to push me towards my dreams and never letting me forget about it but I love her for that.

As a child, I was continuously told the phrase "There's no such word as can't!" which you tend to just forget about it but I suppose it is very true. I have recently been looking at the makeup course I would like to take at a college and firstly, it seems to be quite a hard course to get into with not many places available and the makeup industry itself is extremely hard to get into but it is something I'm determined to do and I think that everyone needs to be reminded of this quote right throughout their life so if you want to do something then you really just need to go out and do it as there really is no time to waste!

I hope you have enjoyed my first motivational Monday and I hope there will be many more to come *raises imaginary glass* so I look forward to speaking to you next Monday and I hope you have a really good day whatever you are doing!

Wet n' Wild 'comfort zone' palette | Reveiw

So my Nan and Grandad recently went away to America on holiday and offered to bring me back a couple of makeup bits that we cant get over here in the UK. I was so excited about this and immediately made a list of some things I wanted. 

One of the first things I put down on my list was the Wet n' Wild 'comfort zone' palette. Ever since I started getting into makeup (around the age of 12) youtube had been around. Back then it was the time where you could simply upload a video using your webcam and film it in one take; If you messed up, you would just start the word again, No fancy editing or anything! As soon as I knew makeup was my thing, I started becoming obsessed with watching peoples makeup collections, reviews and hauls and I felt like everyone who lived in America had this product. It was a must have and it fascinated me. Once I had seen it being mentioned time after time, I looked on some blogs (which had just started becoming a 'thing') and all I saw over and over again was that apparently this palette had some amazing MAC eyeshadow dupes. Being a lover of makeup but only 12, you can't really afford the amazingly pigmented, top of the range eyeshadows that MAC have to offer so you stuck to gazing at dupes that hoped one day you would be able to get your hands on one.

Now in all honesty, I didn't really know much about what was a good eyeshadow and what was a bad one at the time and I didn't think to have a look at more reviews before asking for this palette so I didn't expect too much as I couldn't remember some of the amazing things that had been said about this palette but as soon as I swatched that first cream highlight colour, I was shocked, not only at the pigmentation but at the quality of the eyeshadow! 

I continued to swatch and swatch until I and all the colours running up may arm. I just couldn't believe had amazingly pigmented these are and there isn't one eyeshadow in this palette that lets it down. They are all amazing and now I can under stand how these compare to MAC eyeshadows. 

My three favourite colours have to be the three darkest. Each one had an iridescent shimmer and the last one in the green/grey side has a gorgeous bluey orangy shine to it that I definitely do not currently own in my collection and can't wait to add this little gem to it!

Overall these colours are gorgeous and unbelievably amazing quality for a palette that retails for around $4.99 (Which is about £2.98 in the UK if my converter is correct) so if you are either going on holiday to the states, fancy ordering it or live in America (if you do then lucky you!) I definitely recommend picking this up! I cannot speak highly enough of it!
