BOMBSHELL HAIR



This has to be one of my favourite hairstyles, I love doing this particular look because it looks so girly and fun and I love doing this either for special occasions or even for a daytime trip to the park 

1. To achieve this look I started out with damp hair and I combed at from the bottom and then gradually going up *TIP* when your hair is wet, it's most vulnerable to being damaged and destroyed so make sure you don't bush wet hair harshly or pull too much, it's more likely to fall out and cause split ends... 

2. Then ran my fingers through my hair to make sure all the tangles are gone. I use a few products which can be used for both wet and dry hair to give the same results, I first used my Tresamme heat protectent spray ( 3-4 sprays, depending on how thick and full your hair is) and then I also sprayed the Loreal (pink bottle in the picture) and I used this because it makes my hair very smooth and soft but still helps me maintain that voluminious bouncy effect to my hair. You can also put in some hair serum such as frizz ease  by John Frieda or oils e.g morrocan oil, argan oil... However I like to use that at the end...


3. I used to blow dry my hair roughly with my hands at first to just get it to fully dry and then style it. For styling my hair I sectioned my hair into sections and held them up with regular clips. After I used my long round brush to grab my hair with and gently twisting it and pulling down at the same time and also blow drying, but make sure your not putting the blow drier to close, otherwise you're more likely to burn your hair or damage it 



4. After, I section my hair again and this time I use my hair straightner (Babyliss boutique) and put the medium section of hair inside the straightner and around the outside and then pulled it down while gently twisting the straightner, make sure you don't burn yourself, try using a heat protectent glove if your not used to this. To help make it curliest you can twist the hair once it's off the straightner and also using crocidile hair clips to clip them up and leaving them for about 10mins. 

5. After your hairs done you can style it to your look, either run your fingers through to create a voluminous effect and softer curls or just pulling it to the side to fit your parting, to keep your hair staying this way for long time and possibly the next day xD use a hairspray which you like, I personally love the Loreal ones  





Thank you for reading  <3 hope this helped xxx

Makeup look #1

Purple has been one of my main go to eye shadow and lip colours lately. I love how this colour compliments my complexion but also it's not too natural or too fake. 
The colour purple is one of the most universal colours, and it goes well with every eye colour, here are some suggestions on which colours would go well with purple for your eye colour:
Brown eyes: golds will look amazing with purple if you have brown eyes and you can also create a smokey effect with this colour.
Blue eyes: pink would create a good makeup look and really make the blue in your eyes stand out, I recommend trying the naked 3 palette because it has one the best rose pink shades.
 Green/hazel eyes: navy or very dark deep blue would look great, likewise blue it would really make your eye colour stand out and give it that sexy eye look 

(Also colours such as black, grey and brown will suit all eye colours, you don't have to have those eye colours to so those looks, but personally I think those shades best suit those eye colours x) 

One thing I love about this makeup look is that you can wear it with both light and dark lipsticks. My top picture I wore a subtle nudeish pink lip ( MAC myth with NYX megashine lipgloss in sweet pie over it).
For this look I took my MAC lip liner in vino and outlined my lips slowly ( make sure you don't do this bit too fast because if you make a mistake, darker colours are harder to get off your lips) and filled it in with the liner more to the sides but left the centre of my lip, then I took my MAC lipstick in Snob and went all over my lips, but to get  a more ombre effect I took my lip liner again and went over the sides of my lips. 




 You can also try drugstore lip liners and other lipsticks, MAC heroine is more bold but very pretty, also drugstore alternatives are the Max Factor lipsticks (Covergirl in US) 💜💜💜💜💜💜
