Schwarzkopf Volumizing Styling Powder Review.

If you read my blog you will know that I'm always looking for something to give my hair volume.  At the hairdressers about a year ago the hairdresser recommended to that I should try a volumizing powder, so I did.  However this isn't the first one that I have tried, and to be honest after using a powder before I was pretty unsure whether to purchase this one, but I'm so glad I did and for £2.50 it's a bargain.  I tried it on my hair today and it gave it so much body along with plenty bounce.  

How To Use

You use this product by shaking some of the powder onto you palms and rubbing it together.  The powder will disappear, however you will still feel a sticky residue on your hands (I'm not really sure how to describe it).  You then distribute it onto dry hair and voila you have big volumised hair.  

It says as a tip on the tub/tube that for extra volume you should shake the powder directly onto your roots, I myself would not recommend doing this.  You are left with your hair feeling like it is in a sticky clump at the top of your head.

Overall I would recommend this product as if you use as directed you are left with bouncy hair.

I've Had a Hair Cut.

Hey Everyone! So yesterday I took the plunge, went to the hairdresser and got about half of my hair chopped off.  You know that feeling when you just want a change but are unsure whether to take the risk or not.  My hair was getting to the stage where the ends would just stick out and was genuinely just there sitting on my head doing nothing.  

When I saw this picture of Kimberley Walsh, I knew I wanted a style like this.  However in the past when I had my hair cut this length, it would just stick out at the bottom as it was sitting on my shoulders (Oh the joys of having poker straight hair)..

I'm so glad I didn't get it too short and it's safe to say I love my new style.  As it is shorter it seems to have given my hair more bounce and volume, which is a great thing considering that's all I ever want out of my hair.  Overally I am a happy customer!

Primark Purchases.

Hey Everyone! Yesterday I had a quick trip to Primark, and I thought I would show you what I purchased.  The first item I purchased was a sheer white shirt with short sleeves, it has letters of the alphabet printed all over it and was £12 (I thought it was pretty cute).  

Secondly whilst having a look through the never ending amount of shoes Primark stock I noticed these peep toe style pumps with gold studs.  In the colours black, turquoise and pink, I just couldn't resist.  These were £6 each and will be perfect for summer.. (well if we get sun in Scotland this year).

Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up.

Hey Everyone!  I am one of those people that has gone from having thick eyebrows, to going a bit crazy with the tweezers resulting in really thin brows.  Lately however I have decided to grow my brows in Cara Delevingne style (well maybe not that extreme).  

I had been using the Bobbi Brown clear brow shaper for a while now and it was basically just to keep my brows in place, however after seeing the mahogany coloured touch up I thought I would try it.  It's safe to say I love it.  My eyebrows are bolder and have such a great shape to them, the little mascara wand is so easy to use and lets you lightly go over the eyebrows.  I wouldn't recommend pressing really hard to put it on, as your eyebrows will probably end up looking not so natural..

I would definitely advise people to use this product.  Having tried using powder on my brows, they just ended up a mess, therefore I would say this is a great alternative.

Kate Moss Lipstick Review.

I've heard so much about the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks that I just had to pick one up.  I had a look at the colours available and tended to stay away from the light pink colours that I have so many of, so I opted for this deep pink raspberry colour (Shade No:22).  One thing I will say is that these lipsticks are highly pigmented, and my hand is rather stained after that swatch.  However overall I would definitely recommend buying this lipstick as your lips look bold and highly coloured, whilst it lasts a rather long time.
