Avon Straight and Sleek Hair Serum :)

Hey everyone! long time no see, I'm so sorry it has been so long since I last did a blog post?YouTube 
I kinda lost motivation and didn't really have anything new very often to talk about.
So here i am ready to try again and I'm gonna try alot harder, I will be reviewing things often alot of things will be 
from Avon cosmetics because my sister has just become a independent Avon sales leader so I'm buying stuff from her catalogues often so thought it would be helpful to review stuff i think is good! :)


anyway, my latest purchase has been the Avon "straight and sleek" serum, it comes in a really nice glass bottle with a pump and I use it after i have washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner.
You seriously only need a small amount (I use about 1-2 pumps) run it through your hair then style/dry, After i find my hair feels silky and does go straight when i dry it (with a hair dryer) without having to use hair straighteners.




Overall I'd give this a product a solid 10 out of 10 for its packaging, and basically for doing as it says on the bottle :)


A great hair product, totally recommend people to try it out. If you don't know any Avon reps in your area you can order it online their website http://www.Avon.uk.com / http://www.Avon.com/ (US website) 


hope you like this post and try it out! :)

Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland book of shadows

Today I received my long awaited order from debenhams.com! The Alice in wonderland is the latest Book of shadows to have taken the world by storm! :)

It was released in UK on February the 20th/21st, and introduced in stores on the 28th of February, i unfortunatley had to order mine on-line because where I live there is no Debenhams that does urban decay.

So i've waited 7 long days and finally it has arrived! I was so excited so before i did anything else i sat down and carefully opened the packaging and then stared in amazement at this little beauty :)


I could not believe finally after 2 months of waiting i finally have it!!! hahahahaha (crazy laugh) lol. I was so happy so i opened the top part up to check out the pop up alice scenery....its very cute but i was a bit disappointed because the mirror had a few cracks in it :( 



Disappointing as this was, i got contact with debenhams about it and they said they would send me out a replacement but i had to send this one back and pay for another somehow ....so i just just said no to save hassle, it was really only the eyeshadows i wanted.

but despite the mirror the scenery is really cute :)









Ok now for the shadows etc... i opened up the drawer and was utterly amazed at how pigmented these colours were


so theres 16 eyeshadows, one mini primer potion and two of 24/7 eyeliners

ok so if you have previous pallettes from Urban decay then here are alice's dupes:

Underland – Flash
Alice – Painkiller
Oraculum – Baked
Queen – Last Call
Chessur – Chopper
White Rabbit – Polyester Bride
Wonderland – Maui Wowie
Curiouser – Grifter
Muchness – X
Mushroom – Mushroom
Midnight Tea Party – Midnight Cowboy Rides Again 
Vorpal – S&M
Absolem – Homegrown
Drink Me. Eat Me – Sin
Mad Hatter – Twice Baked
Jabberwocky – Oil Slick

as a new urban decay user i was extremely happy with this palette but alot of people who had the book of shadows volume 2 are not happy as they have alot of these shadows. If I was one of them I'd agree, but I'm not so...I wont! lol

So anyway that is my take on the New Alice in wonderland book of shadows! so hope u like it :)

Exciting news!

hey everyone!


hope your all having a lovely weekend! ok before i tell you my exciting news, i just have to tell you something really funny happened to me today...
so i have two female cats called echo and mayday, now me and my partner have only had mayday since September and she is between 3-4yrs old, so we just got her registered at the vets!
We decided to make her an appointment as we had notices she had a few hairs of baldness, so we got her down to vets this morning, so when we got there the vet examined her and told us that has a flea allergy so we were like "ok.." and then i told him that she was roughly 2yrs but he said she was between 3-4 lol.
but here comes the funny part...he examines her further and says "ummm just to inform you...but your cat is actually a male"
omg me and my bf were sooooo shocked! lol she has had 5 previous owners before us, so we were certain she was female, I mean why would we even question it at all. and for anyone who trolling on here b4 you say "didn't u notice the cat has balls??" lol the reason why we never noticed anything is because the cat had been neutered and in the male sense this would be called Castration which is the removal of the cats balls lol.




so anyway we decided that the name "mayday" was fairly neutral name so we have kept it, but are struggling to get our heads round the fact that its a male lol ah well we'll get right...


yeah so that was my funny news, now for my really exciting news.....


Some of you may or may not be familiar with the cosmetics company Vie at home, so I'm gonna tell you a little about the company... 


Formerly Virgin Vie At Home, they are now known as VIE at home. they are company that sell premium make-up at affordable prices, also sell jewellery, home-ware, skin care products and many more...They also do parties for their customers, they do several different types including make-up, skincare, jewellery, home-ware, pampering etc..





anyway to get to the point i have decided to become a Vie at home consultant, I will have lots of training and will gain lots of expieriance doing make-overs etc...


there are alot of exciting benefits to becoming a Vie at home consultant, and you also get a kit of make-up and tools that's worth about £390 and u get it for £99 and you can keep it! 
so I shall be starting my training not this Monday but Monday after that, and I'm so excited!  i cannot wait to start, and I'm gonna keep you guys updated on how I'm doing and stuff and do some reviews on their products :)







so that's it...my exciting news, ok it may not be exciting for some but for me its a way forward with lots of excitement ahead lol. 


also coming soon i shall be doing a review on the Urban decay Alice in wonderland book of shadows and what I think of it.


ok that's all guys so shall do another post really soon, so take care!


Love
