My Driving Test Has Snuck Up on Me :(

(photo from google)

In a non related Beauty post my driving test is only a mere 1 week 1 day away!
I booked it months ago thinking it would be fine it was agaes away and now its here!
I feel sick just thinking about it, we drove to the test centre yesterday on a lesson and i felt sick just going there let alone what il be like on the day.
Iv booked next friday off work so i can drive all day fri/sat/sun then monday morning is D Day.
Iv stocked up on rescue remedy which i hope helps. this is so important to me i really dont want to fail :(

No Heat?... No Way!

Well i tried to use no heat on my hair to help it grow and i just cant do it. I lasted 2 days (pathetic i know) but my hair is just crazy with no heat its just a no go.
Instead i have decided i will straighten and blow dry my hair but only 1/2 times a week instead of straightening it every day.
If any one has any products they have used to help gown their hair id be incredibly grateful for any tips, Im still on the Sea Kelp and i have the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment.
Iv had to resort to wearing my hair up, which i am NOT a fan of, please god let me hair be gorgeous.

Sonia kashuk

Well my sonia kashuk brushes from the space nk sale have arrived, iv only used the face brush today which was nice.
All the brushes are soft and I love the shape of the handle, I'm looking forward to using the compact kabuki which looks nice and dense.
Il keep you updated if there is any shedding or anything but well for the money you can't really complain.

A little Haul <3

Ok i have blogged alot this weekend but its only because thats the only time i get to blog so im making the most of it as i probably wont be able to again untill next weekend, so if you hate it im sorry.



Anyway i just thought id post a little Haul Blog from this weekend, its not alot but just a few things i picked up.

1. Sexy Hair Ultimate Volume Gift set.
I got this from TK Maxx for £12 i haven't seen this product anywhere else and iv wanted it for ages just to give some volume to my roots, i haven't used it yet but i will tomorrow for work. The set includes a Spray and Play Harder Firm Volumizing Hairspray and a Root Plump Plus Humidity Resistant Volumizing Spray Mousse, im more excited about the mousse than the spray as im a big fan of ellnet or however you spell it.

2.NO 7 Skin Illuminator in Pink.
Iv blogged about this product before only i already have this in peach and i love it, so i went back when boots had their £5 off NO 7 vouchers on and got it in pink. I think this will look lovely when going out with a dark smoky eye and baby pink lip. Im defiantly excited to use this.

3. TEK Wooden Hairbrush.
Another bargain from TK Maxx for £3. iv wanted a round brush for a while to help with volume the only problem being 1) im so cack handed i couldn't brush and blow-dry at the same time and 2) this is ment to reduce static, i have never had static in my hair and 1 brush with this my hair was all over the place. oh well only £3.

4. Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes Shampoo.
I love love love this product, this is my second tube and i have no desire to try a different purple shampoo. I have used alot before like loreal pro shine shampoo and a Regis silver shampoo that were both around £12 each and this is only £5 and works a million times better than any of the salon ones iv used. I recommend this for anyone with bleached hair, if you leave it on for longer than needed it can leave a bit of a purple sheen to your hair but i leave mine on longer because i sort of like that. Also it smells like Angel Perfume!

5. Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation in 04 Light Porcelain.
This is new and it was cheap so i thought id give it a go.
Its not the best coverage but the colour match is fine, i apply it with a brush rather than the sponge provided just because i dont like it when they look dirty so i just dont use them.
its creamy and hasn't broken me out, not that anything does very often.
I wouldn't use this as my everyday foundation but i am going to keep it in my bag for touch ups.

6. Ruby & Millie small make up bag.
Another boots £5 off voucher purchase, i underestimated the size of this and though it looked bigger inside than it is, i want a new make up bag to carry things around with me day to day. at the moment i use the bag from the MAC holiday collection brush sets and its tiny you cant fit a thing in. So i thought this would be bigger but its not, so im just going to keep it for going out when i take a smaller bag, it was £8 down to £3 with the voucher.

7. Boots Natural Collection Lipstick in Cherry Red.
This is not my colour full stop.
I was hoping to find a lovely red lipstick but i just find they all look ridiculous on my, id like a darker red than this but i bet that would still look ridiculous. Il stick to nudes and baby pinks. booo ! :(

8. Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in 112 Ambre Rose.
I brought this after seeing SWalkermakeup use it in her smokey eye tutorial. it looked lovely on her lip, its like no other colour i own and il keep using it, its in the pink collection but it sort of reminds me of a nude beige more than a pink. I like the consistency its not drying and it tastes nice too :)


my winter wonderland walk to work

Just wanted to show you a few pics of my walk to work after the bus's were canceled last week. I hate walking to work but i must admit it was pretty ... apart from a puddle of blood in the show dont worry there is no picture of that. x

Sea Kelp

I went to the heath food shop and asked for something that would make my hair grow and they suggested sea kelp, it speeds up your metabolic rate which apparently makes your hair grow faster.I dont know if i hold high hopes for this herbal stuff, but my boyfriend says i look stupid with my extensions in and other stuff from boots is £30 where this is £3.
You take a 3 tablets a day with food so i spread them out morning, lunch and evening. so hopefully il keep you updated on the growth.
Here are pictures of the pills and my hair length at the moment.
