My favourite hair products atm!

Heyy guys sorry haven't posted in a while, gone back to school this week and even though I had 2 days off due to the snow (woo!) I haven't got round to doing any posts! Sorry!


This post is about my fave hair products atm, starting with John Freida Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme (phew that's a mouthful lol!). I apply this onto my towel-dried hair and then blow dry and straighten, and it goes straight really easily (super straight after blow drying, I just like to straighten it too so it's poker straight haha!) and it feels so silky and smells soo good, kinda apple-y, and shines really nicely, and no frizz!
I do have pretty straight hair naturally, but when I want to straighten my hair this product is great. It keeps your hair straightener-straight for agees, mine lasted 2 days
then I washed it lol. Available in Boots for £4.99



The next product I laave atm is the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment. I've been using it after shampooing in place of my conditioner and it has such amazing results! First of all it smells delicious and peachy, and it makes your hair reallyyy soft and silky and, well, conditioned! It claims to 'replenish and revitalise your colour' but I didn't really notice much change in my hair colour vibrancy, although looking at some of the reviews it appears it works better once left on for longer than 3 minutes - leaving it on for 10 or 20 minutes are recommended. I'll try this out sometime haha. It is a fantastic product though, the conditioning can't be beaten for such an amazing price, that's for sure! I got this for £4.88 at Boots.


Next up is L'oréal Elnett Satin Very Volume Supreme Hold Hairspray. I have the 400ml one and it is HUGE, will last for ages aha. I've only used this a few times since I got it, and I have to say i'm liking it a lot! It holds volume really well, which is useful because my hair sometimes is soo flat and I often use volumising products on it and want them to last! Also it isn't really heavy and doesn't make your hair feel all greasy and weighed down, it's quite light and soft. It brushes out really easily too, and holds your hair in place naturally - it doesn't look stiff or like it's got any product in it at all! It comes in various sizes, so check out the smaller ones if you feel like testing it out, and is available at Boots (where else haha? I love Boots!).

Next let me introduce another of my favourite hair products - the Vo5 Heat Defence Taming Spray! Protecting your hair against heat is very important to prevent damage, and I find myself reaching for this product the most when it comes to straightening or blow drying my hair. It is a fine mist which doesn't dampen your hair, meaning no horrible *hissss* or burning smell once you put your straightening iron to your hair, and it keeps your hair feeling very light and like you've not got any hair products on. There's nothing worse than your hair feeling bogged-down by tonnes of product so I love anything that's light, especially as I do like to use a fair few products on my hair haha. This product also makes your hair look sleek and shiny, and reduces frizz.


Next up is one of my ultimate favourite products...which I think has been discontinued :(
The reason i'm posting it is because it is amazinggg, and if any of you guys know where to get this product then please let me know lol!! I'm running out and it's making me depressed :(
Anyway the product is called Citré Shine Shine Miracle Polishing Serum. It smells SO gorgeous and citrus-y and I apply a bit to my towel-dry hair after coming out the shower and it makes it smooth, sleek, glossy, shiny, totally frizz-free and makes my hair look and feel (and smell!) so healthy and good <3


The last product i'm going to mention is the Vo5 Extreme Style Surf Style Spray 150ml. I went surfing in Devon and Cornwall this summer and loved the natural beach-waves and texture of my hair after surfing all day, it looked so cute down or up in a messy bun and plaited back fringe/bangs. I saw this product in Boots and decided to try it out! I'm so glad I did, because the texture it gives your hair is PERFECT beach-blown, wind-swept style, thanks to the sea salt in the product it feels like the real thing to me aha, perfect way to remind me of the summertime all year round :)
This product works really well on curled hair to make it really messy waves, or natural hair for lots of volume and a bit wavy (well on naturally straight hair that is, on wavy hair it'd look gorgeous!). This was £3.22



Well that's all for now!
Hope you enjoyed the post, and do you have any hair product recommendations? Comment with them below, i'd love to hear!! :)

What eyeshadow colours suit your eye colour?

Hiya guys!
First of all, happy new year to all of you! Hope 2010 will be a good year for everyone :)

Now onto the main topic of this blog post...
What eyeshadow colours suit different eye colours?

I have med/dark brown eyes and although they suit my warm toned face I always thought they were so boring - I always wanted green eyes to go with my dyed auburn hair...i'll show you some pics I edited of me with 'green eyes' at the end of this post haha.

Anyway I decided to do some research on which eyeshadow colours really made my eye colour pop and made it more interesting, and then I thought it would be interesting for a lot of people sooo I decided to make a blog post on what I found out :)

Brown eyes
One colour I love to wear with my brown eyes is purple!
It's said to go well with dark or olive skin tones, so perfect with my olive skin, and it complements my hair colour as well.

Gold and green are recommended for lighter brown eyes as they are said to pick up the coloured flecks in your eyes. This would work well with hazel coloured eyes too :)

For dark brown eyes, a royal blue is said to look good -but not too dark otherwise your eye area will look quite dim and dull. Try experimenting with different shades of blue - here's a really cute pic I found from google:





Blue eyes
For those with blue eyes (lucky people!) a whole variety of shades are recommended.
Most blue eyes are cool toned, so colours like grey, silver and taupe will look good with virtually any blue eye.

Purple and violet are also recommended for blue eyes. Vibrant purple can contrast beautifully with blue, but be warned it may make your face look washed out so stick to lighter shades if this is the case.

One little trick I stumbled upon during my research was that apparently if you use a deep shade of blue darker than your eye colour it brings out the blue tones in your eyes, making them look more vibrant!

More pictures found on Google:





Green eyes
Those blessed with green eyes (lucky people!) might have warm eyes (green and a bit of brown) or cool eyes (greeny bluey eyes), so different eyeshadow shades will suit slightly different shades of green eyes.

For those with warm green eyes, earthy colours such as brown, green, gold, bronze and copper will complement their colour well.

For those with cool green eyes, shades similar to those suiting blue eyes will look good - anything in the red/purple family is also recommended; mauve, rusty colours, plum etc.

The same trick for blue eyes can be used for green, by using a slightly darker green shade of eyeshadow to make your eyes look more green and vibrant.

Again, here are some pics from Google!




Hope you enjoyed the post!

Finally, here are some pics of me with edited green eyes haha, I want!!
