Dying My Hair Hot Pink with Crazy Color Pinkissimo

11 June 2021 18 Comments

My hair is a bright hot pink, yay! On Instagram over the last few months, you may have noticed that my hair has changed colour into variations of different pinks. Lately, I have been using Crazy Color ‘Pinkissimo’ which is a ‘hot pink’ shade.

I saw this gorgeous hot pink shade in my local Superdrug and I knew I just had to try it out! Since I bought it I have used it about 4 times now, love it enough to share my experience using it! Pinkissimo is Crazy Colors Best selling pink hair dye. I think it’s time to share my thoughts on it.

Review: Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

AD-Gifted – Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

So last month I have kindly gifted the New Antipode Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream with some other skincare delights. I have never heard of probiotic being used in skincare before and, to be honest, the only time I heard of it was yoghurt haha. I have been using this at night time before I go to bed and let me start by saying wow, it’s a treat for my skin!

For me, Skincare is a huge part of my day as it one of those things that help start my day and also a thing that helps me wind down at night time. The night time skincare regime is my favourite as I love how it feels and for me, it’s very relaxing.

AD-Gifted – Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials

Skincare is one of my favourite self-care things to do in the day. As I have gotten older, I have noticed my skin needs a bit more TLC so it’s important to get my skincare routine right. I want my routine to be right so my skin looks good through the years and adapts through age.

I was excited when Temple Spa asked me to try some products from their range. Since my skin is a combination I got the Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials. The collection has everything I need to start my day. They also have other skincare products in the range including products for sensitive, oily and dry skin and even a mix and match option.

Dying my hair pink with Colour Freedom Magenta Dream

7 April 2021 17 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!

My Favourite Beauty Products of 2020

17 February 2021 13 Comments

Following on from My Favoruite Skincare products of 2020 post, I thought it would be the right time to share my favourite beauty products.

I’ll have to be 100% honest with you all here… I didn’t wear makeup a lot during 2020. Most days were joggers, a little bit of skincare and more trips to the fridge than usual. On the days I did wear makeup it was vibrant as I wanted to dress up, even if it was just going to Tesco.

Anyways onto the post, lets see my 2020 beauty favourites…

My Favourite Beauty Products of 2020

Urban Decay Wired Pressed Pigment Palette

I bought this Urban Decay Wired at the start of lockdown as I wanted to add some bright eyeshadows to my eyeshadow collection. When I first bought it I wasn’t completely sure I liked it but the more I used it the more I started enjoying using it. I like using these solo.

Wet N Wild Colour Icon Bronzer SPF 15 ‘Ticket to Brazil’

Home Bargains have been one of my favourite shops during lockdown because you never know what you will find. I have never tried Wet N Wild before so I was excited to try this bronzer. I have seen mixed review online but I find it works well giving me a soft-sculpted cheek without looking too harsh.

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Concealer

I have trusted Makeup Revolution products for a few years now. Most of their products are wonderful and this concealer is one of them. This concealer is perfect for concealer dark circles, created a base for eyeshadows or even defining the brows. With more than 25 shades to choose from its easy to find which works for you.

XX Revolution FleeXX Brow Pomade ‘Black’

Eyebrow pomades are my favourite way of styling my eyebrows. It’s so much easier defining brows with pomade and a brush. I love this XX Revolution pomade as it’s easy to use and lasts all day without budging.

Makeup Revolution Renaissance Flick Eyeliner

I have tried many eyeliners over the years but this one is one I come back too because it works perfectly for me. I love cat eyeliner and this works well every time. It doesn’t smudge over the day which is a plus.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation

Another product which I didn’t like to start with but grew on me. The finish is matte and you can customise it by applying less or more. I love wearing this on days when I don’t want full coverage.

Fenty Beauty- Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter / Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fu$$y and Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Liquid Colour in Uncensored

I just LOVE Fenty Beauty products, everything I have tried so far has been fabulous. I defiantly think it’s worth the higher-end price tag.

The highlighter is a lovely silverly sparkly shimmer that adds glow to any makeup look I create. Now the lipgloss is just divine, I never used lipgloss since I was a teen but I have fallen in love with it again because this one is nonsticky and adds gorgeous gloss to the lips. Lasty I love their longwear liquid lipsticks, they apply effortlesy, have a lovely selection of photos and last all day.

Pixi Lash Booster Mascara

I really love this mascara as it adds so much curl and definition to my lashes. It has a huge wand brush which applies the perfect amount of product.

What are your thoughts on my beauty favourites; Which Beauty Products did you love in 2020?

Until next time

My Favourite Skincare Products of 2020 – What a year!

8 February 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.
