Hi,

There's been quite a few clothes I've been lusting over for a while, so I thought I'd make a list of them and share them with you all today.





1. White Floral Shorts - £12.99
2. Dungarees - £38
3. Chic Playsuit - £14.99
4. Funky Patterned Trousers - £19.99
5. High Waisted Denim Shorts - £17.99


These are the items I am going to desperately try to save up for from pay days this summer! As you have probably noticed, there are quite a lot of patterns in this collection - this is because I'm trying to break away from the normal shades in my wardrobe and be a bit more daring!

Let me know in the comments what you are saving up for this summer!

Maybelline Brow Drama Review

Hey,

So I picked up the 'Maybelline Brow Drama' in Boots the other day in Boots. I'm going to tell you all what I think of it, as everyone has been raving about it and I was keen to look for other people's opinions of it before I picked it up.



The packaging looks like this - quite simply but effective.






When you open up the product you find this - a mascara wand with the product. The wand is quite fat and nice for applying the product with if you like products like this - if you prefer products with a thinner applicator, this probably wouldn't be for you.

The application of the product is quite simple - pull it out of the packaging and simply comb it over your eyebrows to shape them. Do this as many times until you reach the desired effect. I used it about 3 times to fill in my eyebrows as much as I wanted.





Top - before
Bottom - after


 I found that this product really enhanced my brows and combed them into shape - I'm pretty low maintenance with my brows anyway, so this pretty much did the job for me. (This is hard to see in the picture, apologies about the lighting). Although the mascara can come out a little thick at first, it does, on the whole, do what it says on the packaging - your eyebrows do look more defined and it helps to fill them in. However, I would say if you wanted more shape to your brows, I would use something like Soap and Glory's eyebrow pencil to create more of an outline and a slightly better shape.

This product is perfect for anyone who is just starting out with make-up and is uncertain of what to do with their brows. I found this product very easy to use and I'm sure a lot of other people will too. This product is pretty cheap, only £4.99 which is well within anyone's budget.

Healthy Hair

Hey,

I have a lot of people ask me how my hair gets so long and how I maintain it in good condition. Today, I'm going to share my tips on how to maintain long healthy hair.


Washing - it is recommended that you wash your hair at least every other day to make sure you don't strip it of the natural oils. I generally wash mine every other day as otherwise it gets really greasy. When you wash your hair, take care with it and don't pull it about. After washing my hair, I generally apply some de-tangling spray or a hair mask afterwards - this allows your hair to not become too knotted or matted.

Drying - I generally wash my hair before I sleep so that I can let it dry naturally. I then let it dry for a couple of hours and plait it, sleeping with the plait in. This not only allows your hair to dry naturally but stops your hair from becoming too knotted or have mattes in it overnight. Try to avoid using a hairdryer as much as possible, as too much heat isn't good for your hair.

With styling, I'd advise you not to use too many products. I try to keep the products I use to a minium - a bit of dry shampoo if my hair is a bit dead and unwashed, and a bit of hairspray to hold a few strands of hair or a style in place. If you use too much, this damages your hair. If you straighten or curl your hair, try to use heat protectant.

I am not an expert in this field, so don't feel like I know too much what I'm talking about, but these are my personal tips!

I hope you've enjoyed reading this style of post.

Have a lovely week,
