Beauty // Nail Health

It is probably quite hypocritical for me to write this post as my nails are not in the best health at all, but I have recently been researching and trying to find ways to help them get stronger, brighter and grow faster. I have just had my acrylic nails taken off and I find that these really weaken my nails and they become extremely thin even the girl in the salon wouldn't let me have any more on she said I needed to get some sun on them to strengthen them up.

Jenners Topshop Drop

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the Kendal + Kylie for Topshop collection that has just dropped today. 

Around the world ....

I figured it was about time to share my plans for summer time as mid July I will be jetting off on a 5 week holiday around the world with my mum, step dad and little sister. I will be going to LA, Hawaii, Australia, Thailand and Dubai. I am incredibly excited I think it will be fantastic. One of my favourite things to do is to travel, I love to see and experience things that are new and different especially cultures.

I need to write a list of all things I want to do, in all the places I go, to make sure I cover everything. I will blog my holiday so you can all see what I'm doing out there. If  anyone has any tips on how it would be best to blog the holiday please let me know!

This is my basic holiday plan..

New Car // Mini One D

Mr Blanc

Mr Blanc Professional Teeth Whitening…..

I tried it and I liked it because it was easy to use and with repeated use I thought it did actually make a difference to the colour of my teeth .  However, the price I paid for my ‘pearly whites’ was super sensitivity to

varying temperatures. I found they were extremely sore when I had a cup of tea or a glass of water.

Aveda: Review

We went out shopping in London recently, so my mother and I went in Aveda, see site (Here). Now I'm going to be honest I don't think I have ever heard of Aveda the brand before. Although reassured by the woman in the shop they are a professional brand a lot of hair dressers use.

What attracted us to the shop was the sign that said Hair damage remedy's, and my hair is in the worst condition of my life. The shop assistant did a test on us all testing for damage or dryness or just both. She tested if the hair would break when tugged, she said my hair was both dry and damaged .... just great! Although I was expecting it as not long ago I did dye my hair bleach blonde which wasn't very good for it at all, my mother did pre warn me but like usual I ignored her .... I  wanted it done regardless. I have been trying to get it back to the way it was before, I have cut off a lot of my hair to help get rid of the dye.

Well anyway after about an hour and a half in the shop and my mother getting a few testers on her hair etc.. we managed to get out of there not empty handed though!

We bought the daily hair repair £22.50 and the intensive restructuring treatment £29.50 conditioners.

The daily one was a leave in conditioner and the restructuring one was to be left in for 3 minutes whilst in the shower and then washed out. I have been using them for a week or so now and I can already tell the difference in my hair. It is softer not so dry, it also has a great healthy look to it.

I would purchase these items again, I think they are relatively expensive though and not something I would usually spend this amount of money on.

The Small bottle the Be curly one was a tester she gave to me because of my curly hair, this definitely boosts the curl you get, which was good for me.

The orange bottle, Sun care - Hair and body cleanser £17.50 we got  for my sister as her hair after holidays or after her swimming lessons goes really strange, dry and makes it look even thinner.

 She needed something to take all the chlorine/salt out of her hair and also protect it in the sun. This has improved the look of her hair and is great for kids as is not harsh on the skin at all.

Have you ever tried any of the Aveda products? Have you ever even heard of the make?

Russell & Bromley

Ever since I was little I can remember wanting to have a pair of Russell and Bromley shoes. I Adore them and well I guess you can say at the age of 18 I finally convinced myself I needed them now more than ever. The lady in the shop was saying how gorgeous they were and you know how convincing they get when they put their sales voices on! Plus (such a bonus) they were in the sale finally!!! They are the Chester - Tassel loafer in Yellow Calf. I paid £125.00 but the colours that are not in the sale are £165.00.
See Website Here.

                 

I Bought the Yellow.... I thought yellow was the perfect colour for the summer! It is not usually a colour I would pick for myself but I really am liking them, they are bright and different.

 

I don't think I have ever bought something that I have loved this much ... I just want to get motherly and start cleaning them all the time and getting all upset when a stray mark appears.

I am actually too scared to wear them cause what if they get dirty!! but anyway I am sure you will see them dotted around in my future fashion posts.

Do you like them? What colour would you pick they have them in loads of colours.

Benefit Haul/Review

I recently went a bit crazy buying Benefit Cosmetics make up just cause I needed a change from my usual Mac make up. I am a huge fan of the 'They're real mascara' £19.50 so I thought I'd try the other products in the range to see if they are as good. The mascara is the world best selling mascara so it sounds like I'm not the only one who loves it! It makes your lashes look fuller and your eyes look wider and are perfectly framed.

The 'They're real push-up liner' lash hugging eyeliner pen I got because I seriously need to practice my eye liner application and it looks so so easy to do on all the videos I have watched, I like the rubber applicator at the end of the stick it makes straight/curved lines so easy to apply. I have generally found this a lot easier to other ones I have tried in the past, I struggle with pots and brushes as the ends don't stay pointed so the lines don't end up how you visioned they would do. The eyeliner is £18.50 and the remover is £14.50. I have used the mascara for ages without using the remover, so I know this isn't necessary to get the make-up off just a lot easier. You can buy any oil based make up remover though and it will come off easier than a face wipe.

I also bought 'The girl meets pearl', a golden pink liquid pearl £24.50. This is something I have been umming and ahhing about for quite some time. I didn't know if I wanted to pay that much to just try something I don't really need. I'm glad I finally gave in and bought it now though, the dab top and twist bottom ensures you don't waste any product. This highlighter is a great product and one I would definitely get again. It shines and shimmers but not in a glittery way so its subtle, great for cheek bones to enhance the natural face structure and also down the centre on the nose.

I adore how Benefit market their products and how different their packaging is, you can 100% tell by the packaging that its Benefit even it didn't say on the box. The Benefit Cosmetics website even has videos on how to apply the products and what they all do, its amazing go take a look.  

Do any of you like these products? Any tips on how to best to use them, I'm always open to ideas!
