Hi everyone,

I know you haven't seen one of these posts for a while but I am so pleased that you can now. I go through phases of nibbling my nails, I have done since school. Usually when I'm bored or stressed. Keeping up to date with painting them keeps me from being tempted and so I managed to grow them to a good enough length to do exactly that. I'd love to say it was will power and determination, but my other half going ballistic with me every time he caught me nibbling played a rather large part.

Anyway, since I haven't painted them for a while, I didn't fancy anything too complicated and I've seen simple nails such as these all over Pinterest recently. The lighting really doesn't do the blue colour justice, it has a subtle shimmer to it which catches the light wonderfully. Unfortunately I have no specific colour name for you, as the product was a 17 polish from a set that I received a while back and none of them were name specific.

The tape is just a standard nail striping tape from eBay, similar to These at just 99p they are an absolute bargain, and I do like me some bargains. However, I do have trouble keeping the tape on after a couple of days, if anyone has any tips on preventing the edges from curling up I'd be very grateful. Washing my hair is a nightmare, my nails go in looking beautifully painted to perfection and come out looking like a 10 day old bodge job! Help! 

Staying power aside, I do like these simple nails. They're super quick to do but are still eye catching and easy to do for a night out or hot date!

Anyone who follows my Instagram will have noticed recently that my hair is changing colour more often than usual. Katie gets bored easily, and when Katie gets bored, she takes it out on her hair. I've gone from Pink to Purple and now to Blue and I love it, so much in fact that I'm considering going completely blonde so that I can take my boredom out on the whole of my hair rather than just the blonde bits.

First I wanted to briefly share how I created this look at home. I would like to mention that I am not by any means a hairdresser or expert. I have quite a lot of experience in colouring my hair and have been lucky along the way but this is just what works for me.

On the picture above, I used a mixture of two Bleach London products in the shades Blullini and Washed up mermaid. I mixed the two colours together in a mixing pot with a generous splodge of conditioner for good measure and also to tone the brightness down a little. I shampooed and towel dried my hair, parted it down the middle and began generously applying the mixture to the ends of my hair, working my way upwards a little as I went along. I used my fingers (which were covered with gloves I would like to point out) to add touches of colour to the babylights around my face and any other highlights I could spot. After I had finished applying all of the product I gently combed through my hair from the ends to give a more natural ombre effect to the colour..... and Voila! As these products don't contain any bleach and are rather nourishing for your hair, I'm not afraid to leave it on for a little longer than suggested. I left this colour on for almost an hour before rinsing, making sure my hair had been given plenty of time to soak up the bluey hues.

As you can see, using the Bleach London Products gave my hair a very subtle colour, which is fantastic if that's what you want and although I loved it, I wanted to go brighter! Which brings me to photo number two!

As my face might blatantly suggest, I was very happy with the outcome of the second colouring session. A lot brighter and in your face blue haha! To achieve this look, I used exactly the same method as above but using Organic & Mineral Extreme Colour in Turquoise which I purchased from my local Adel Wholesalers. Unfortunately Adel wholesalers are only accessible to registered hairdressers which my mum so happens to be so this colour might not be easy to get hold of but the results are absolutely fantastic. Again these products are Ammonia free and do no damage to hair but believe it or not, I only left this colour on for about 15/20 minutes and the results were outstanding.

Yayyyyyy!

I absolutely love playing around with funky colours in my hair. If you have any product recommendations I'd be happy to hear them :)

Take a look on the Bleach London Website & see which colour you fancy!

Well hello there lovely readers.

Today I am reviewing a product that I've seen many a review of, so I am a bit late on the bandwagon with this one. However, I have been trialling this product for a couple of months, so I can give a good honest review.

The product is the Makeup Revolution London Ultra Sculpt and Contour Kit and I have this in the colour C01 for fairer skin.

First lets talk about the shade range. So as I mentioned above, I have the colour CO1 for fairer skin. There is an option to get C04 which is for darker skin tones but with there only being two options, the colour range is quite limited. I would also like to point out that these palettes have warm golden tones, which is fantastic for someone like myself with a warmer skin tone but less appealing to those with cooler skin tones.

The packaging is simple, sturdy and very acceptable considering this product is only £3.50. Yes, £3.50 isn't that amazing! A mirror inside the lid might have been practical for applying makeup on the move but it is also nice to be able to see the shades through the front upon buying the product. The shades themselves are perfect for me and as you can see each product is labelled so there is no muddling up which shade goes where, making this product perfect for contour beginners.

The bronzer is quite dark but it blends very well making it suitable for fairer skin tones. The colour is also easily buildable making it suitable for darker skin tones as well.

The highlighter is my perfect shade as it has a lovely shimmery gold tone to it. It compliments my skin tone well and I feel it accentuates the golden tones to my brown eyes. For cooler skin tones, this highlighter might be a bit too warm but if you're wanting a sun kissed glow then this product would be perfect for you.

Onto the blush, and what a lovely blush it is. I think this blush could be compared to the likes of Nars Super Orgasm in colour, as it has lovely warm rose, peach and gold tones to it. The staying power might not be the greatest but for £3.50 who can really complain? I don't tend to wear makeup for an entire day so for me it does the job perfectly.

I do have a few varieties of contour kits such as Sleek and Maybelline, however I am finding myself picking this one up more often than any other. The warm tones suit my skin perfectly, the colour selection is just what I want and I am therefore a very happy customer. 

This is the first product I have tried from the Makeup Revolution Collection but if first impressions are anything, I'll be going back for more. Can you recommend any of there lovely products?

Hi everyone :)

Today I wanted to introduce you to an amazing product which many people recommend, and I have well and truly jumped on the band wagon. I've been using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish for about a year but when I went to order a replacement on Feel Unique and they'd sold out, I opted for an alternative. The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.
