Avon Straight and Sleek Hair Serum :)

2011-08-21T10:08:00.000-07:00

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

2010-03-03T07:11:00.000-08:00

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!

2010-02-27T16:57:00.000-08:00

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!

Soap and glory sugar crush body scrub review!

2009-11-11T17:00:00.000-08:00

My first post on my blog and im sooooo excited lol i know this may be kinda dumb to some people but hey i dont care i am who i am hehe.
anyways...I recently discovered a product called "soap and glory sugar scrub" and I thought i would give it a try as it sounded really good, i haven't come across a exfoliator that i think actually works... before i bought this product however lol :)

what can i say about this wonderful product....well for one thing it smells soooooooo gorgeous! 2nd it makes my skin feel so soft, iv never had that effect with an exfoliator before so i was like "wow" :) and thirdly even though it makes my skin soft it also after washing it all off makes my skin feel really refreshed, which is probably the lime in it but its fantastic i love it!
i've been using it once or twice a week (this is what they reccommend you use it, though depending on how bad your skin gets i suppose you can use it when you need it) ive the last month i have had it. the tub it comes in is also huge! it will last you months even if u use it a few times a week cause each time u use it you dont need too much of it :)

so i give this product a whopping 10/10 for being an excellant exfoliator and skin cleanser! its ingrediants contain crushed brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains.

if you wanna see what this product looks like check out the review video i put up on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu-1mPfJgCg

definatley worth a try in my opinion anyway i hope you found this review interesting watch out for some more in the next few days im gonna attempt to film my first make-up tutorial tomorrow so that maybe up soon :) ta ta for for everyone! :) x x x
