They say a girl should never reveal her secrets...



But i think i shall make an exception ;-)
My new beauty secrets are rather random but delightful.



Ysl's faux cils, has a rather ouch worthy price compared to other mascaras. But seriously its worth its £20 price, well for me maybe. Most mascaras causes my lashes to thin and fall out. It creates amazing and well it looks pretty damn cute in my makeupbag.


Super suprised at this one, im a bit of a makeup snob but the mother suprised me with this. It's the holy grail, it hands down beats all of the mac and clinique concealers. The sponge applicator and liquid consisency means that it doesnt sink into creases and leaves it looking flawless.



Clinique dramatically different moisturizing GEL - not the lotion. Previously i've been using the lotion but by a simple mistake i ended up with the gel. My skin care routine and the ditching of my Laura Mercier foundation have rapidly cleared up my skin!




Did i forget to mention i was a Geek last week, how fun is that!

Scene Girls Shoe Wear Tips - Neon Shoelaces

Scene girls wear shoes that are bright such as vans, ballet flats, Converse, or high heels which are eye-catching. To make your shoes look great, you can add things like neon shoelaces with signatures of your friends on your shoes but make sure they look personalized.

Kim Bum Hairstyles

Kim Bum (Kim Sang Bum), born July 7, 1989, is a South Korean actor and singer. He has starred in several television series and movies. He is probably best known for his role as So Yi Jung in the Korean drama, Boys over Flowers. This program is popular throughout most of Asia and the Philippines.

For his role in Boys over Flowers, Kim wears his hair in a medium length straight shag. This style is easy to achieve with a small amount of gel to hold the bangs to one side so that vision is not obscured. It looks clean cut enough to be acceptable in most settings while looking messy enough to show off a person's individuality.

For his role in the upcoming movie, Emergency, Kim wore his hair in cornrows on the sides and loose on top. This style is considerably more time consuming to achieve. It also does not look as attractive on him as the shag. Fortunately, this look is only for the one movie and will not be around long.

The shag is one of the best haircuts for someone with relatively thin, straight hair. It looks fuller and is easy to style compared to other options besides a buzz cut.

Short Angled Bob Hairstyles

Angled bob hairstyles are among one of the hottest hair trends to look out for. The new angled bob hairstyles are longer and end around the shoulders. They are sexier and they have full curls to give the angled bob hairstyles even more flare.


Bobbed hairstyle - "Angled Bob Hairstyles"

Bobs are uber-trendy right now and a classic look. But they can be versatile (see Katie Holmes' hair here) and there are many types of bobs out there to choose from. Check out these bob hairstyle photos.

I'm in love

So for the past week or two, ive been giving hints about a new haircare line i've been trying out. The company is Neal and Wolf - http://www.nealandwolf.com/


Developed by, Neil Capstick, who has worked in the hair industry for over 20 years. The fragrance of the line, has been created by the perfume house, behind some of the world’s finest scents. The line was created for professional salon's, but Ive found it available to buy online.

The company is simply delightful, the products were in such a pretty package, with a little catalogue and bunches of the prettiest white tissue paper.

So what did they send me?


Fix- A hold and shine spray, which i adore! I love the fact that its a hairspray without a nasty aerosol( It's mist like spray), but it actually makes your hair amazingly shiny without that horrid greasy look which a lot of products do! The hold lasts all day too!

Elevate- A volumising lotion, which i apply after towel drying my hair, the texture is like liquid gel but isn't too runny, so its easy to manage and apply evenly all over the hair. This really does give me great volume, so much so that Ive not backcombed slightly since!

Harmony- A miracle product! It's an intensive conditioning treatment which i tend to use 2 times a week, leaving my hair instantly soft, conditioned, shiny and healthy! I leave it in for 3-5 minutes on my wet hair.

The smell is pretty unique, i've been told quite a few times how good my hair smells! It reminds me honey i washed the kids or beeswax.

what else do i love about this line? Since i've been using these products with my new shampoo and conditioners ( matrix amplfying range), i now only ever need to wash my hair every other day at the most, whereas before it started to look a bit lanky and not so fresh at the end of the day YUCK! Personally i think this line is better than Redken!

Results!

I personally adore essie over OPI, the formula is so much better,

Mandy Moore Hairstyle

When we first met Mandy Moore, she was in our CD players singing us through our teenage years. Now, the grown up Mandy Moore has discovered acting. We have seen in her excellent films such as “Because I Said So” and “Saved”. As we have watched her grow into a young woman, we have watched her style change as well. take a look at the different hairstyles that we have seen Mandy in.

At first, Mandy was just a young strawberry blonde girl who possessed the gift of singing. Now, we find her on the silver screen, the same hair color is there as well. Mandy prefers to wear her hair longer. In the move “How to Deal” however, we did see her with a cute short cut. This cut was very close to a cut that celebrity Ashley Judd had for awhile. There are short layers and the hair stacks on top of each other. This is a great style if you have thinner hair.


Mandy typically parts her hair down the middle. Because her hair is longer, she does have some longer layers put in there. This adds some body as well and gives the hair some more life. The last thing that you want is long, flat hair. That would simply be no fun at all. The only product you would need to finish a style such as this would be hair spray.

Take a look at your current style and see if you can find a Mandy Moore style that works for you!

A year in Beauty

This fall, the beauty industry went crazy over chanel's jade polish, even more so than the infamous black satin. It sold out in under 40 minutes and you can find this £16 bottle for selling up to £100 on ebay. There are dupes, however none come really close.


Dolce and Gabbana brought out a makeupline, with scarlet johanasen as the face of the brand.
The makeup has gorgeous packaging but from what i can tell its not HUGE in the industry more like a gimmick.
Half shaved hair a la Cassie, not a trend to be taken lightly! Personally i think it look silly but alot of the celebrities jumped on this trend such as Rihanna, Amelle from sugababes, Alice Dellal.



Youtube Beauty bloggers, took youtube by a storm, such as Juicystar07, Allthatglitters21, panacea81 and Bubsbeauty. Some even having hundreds of thousands subscribers, some have even made careers out of it such as panacea81 who has her own range in sephora, a video game. Juicystar07 and Allthatglitters21 got invited to do makeup at New York fashion week. However there has been some controversy regards to paid reviews and reviews of products and how honest some have been. Check out my my friend, sarahbelle83x on youtube, she has a few thousand subscribers!


Ysl's glossy black lips, not for the faint hearted but caused a stir in the industry. It also inspired mac's Style black collection which featured a black lippie.
