Dying my hair pink with Colour Freedom Magenta Dream

April 7, 2021 16 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed I dyed my hair with Colour Freedom Pink Pizzaz a couple of months ago. When I dyed my hair pink it went down so well! Even though I loved the pink pizzaz, I fancied a little bit of a change mainly because didn’t stay vibrant very long. I decided to go for a deeper pink so that’s I got Colour Freedom Magenta Dream.

It’s not the first time I have used Colour Freedom over the years, they have been a brand I have come back to many times! The best things about them are that they are Cruelty-free, Vegan and very affordable. They have a nice variety of bright colours to choose from but my favourites as you might guess is the pinks!

Trying out ‘Huel’ Ready-to-Drink – An affordable meal in a bottle

March 14, 2021 22 Comments

Before I start this post I would like to state I am not on a liquid diet. I just like trying out vegetarian/vegan protein drinks to make sure I get the most out of what I eat in a day, especially when time is not on your side haha! Huel Ready-to-drink is part of my balanced diet.

I have seen Huel nutrition floating around social media for a while now but it’s only recently that I decided to give one of their products a try. I went shopping the other day in Sainsbury’s for vegetarian goodies when I noticed this drink near the milk aisle. Huel ready-to-drink complete meals, containing 26 essential vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre and phytonutrients.

If you have read my blog or followed my social media then you would have seen that I have lost 40lb in Lockdown. All of this done without restricting my diet and keeping myself active. Very simple. Check out my post on how to keep fit during lockdown.

My Favourite Skincare Products of 2020 – What a year!

February 8, 2021 36 Comments

We are well into 2021 now but lets take a little look back to 2020.

2020 has to be one of the most trying years not just for Scotland but most of the world. I have not seen my family in over a year now and on top of that my routine has been completely changed because of the three lockdowns we have had. Since routines have changed so has my skincare routine. The main reasons being the everyday use of face masks, putting on harsh hand sanitiser and not forgetting just the stress of lockdown.

I have had to adjust my skincare regime a lot since lockdown started as I have noticed my skin is more sensitive and dry. My hands are drier because of using hand sanitiser more often and my face tends to get acne from wearing a face mask. This year has been a whirlwind for my skin, so adapting my skincare was a must.

The Best Classic Red Lipsticks

January 29, 2021 19 Comments

For me, red lipstick is such a classic and ‘go well’ with any style accessory. Whether its matte, satin or gloss, red works wonderfully with any of these products.

I only started wearing classic red lipsticks in my mid-twenties as I never found one that suited me. Now I have reached thirty, I know which retro lipsticks I love after a lot of searching. I like to switch them up whenever I feel like I want a change.

Whenever I think of classic red lipsticks, people who come to mind for me has to be Marilyn Monroe, Rhianna, Gwen Stefani and Tim Curry.

Check out the post to see which classic reds made it on my list..

Pixi Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover

November 30, 2020 16 Comments

PIXI Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover is a gentle bi-phase formula. It promises to effectively remove eye, lip and face makeup which also includes waterproof makeup. I got the entire Pixi Beauty Hydrating Milky Collection at the start of 2020 and it didn’t take me long to delve into the collection.

As soon as I got the collection I couldn’t wait to try this as I love taking my makeup off after a long day. The bottle 150ml of product and has a push dispense cap which makes it quite easy to saturate a cotton pad/makeup removing towel without the mess. Another couple of things I thought were worth mentioning is that it’s suitable for all skin types and paraben-free.

Pixi Beauty is a cruelty-free brand
