For the last two months I have not touched my hair with heat *pat on the back* !!! I'm realy proud of myself...before I used to heat treat my hair like every two days....and now I cringe at the thought of having to straighten/curl/blowdry my hair!
I have been using intensive oil treatment every time before I wash my hair... its a mix of coconut almond and castor oil heated in the microwawe and applied to the hair. I absolutely adore this, it moisturises my hair like nothing else and leaves it feeling soft smooth and looking shiny. If I do want volume or wave in my hair i will jst use rollers or frech plait my hair. But ussualy i jst leave it how it is wen it naturally dries and I'm good to go.
I also started trimming my hair regulary...and I knw u might be thinkin you must have money but I DO IT MYSELF! Every 6 weeks or when i start seeing that my hair is splitting I trim my hair by about 1 cm and its really easy. Just work your way up by sectioning really thin bits of ur hair and you will instantly refresh your cut. I have layers and i dnt ruin my hair doing; this trust me it works.
I knw this post is kind of long but I really want to let you all knw that everyone can have beautiful, healthy shiny, soft hair. The reason I didint say long is because I believe your hair should be healthy before its long!! Thats the reason I trim quite often so I can get any dead ends off!!!!
Please if you have any hair tips leave them in the comments below so that I can try them out!!! thanks xxx

Tinted Foundation!!!!
Yes, yes i knw what I typed...tinted foundation? You might be thinkin 'what the hell?'
But lately I've been hating how foundation looks on my skin because its winter and i find my skin is on the dry side but foundation makes it oily....its really weird.
So wot ive been doing is actually is mixing my liquid foundation with an oil free moisturiser...
The ones i use is Maybeline 'Superstay' liquid foundation and Clean&Clear shine control moisturiser....
And I LOVE it, it makes my skin look naturally flawless just because im not hiding everything
It covers up discolorations and uneveness which is what I need!!!
I love this is a one step moisturiser and foundation in the morning so I can spend a couple more minutes in my warm bed!
Whatt have you been loving this week?

Photoshoot, Religious war And FOTD
So I haven't blogged in far too long ...and I do appologise! I've been busy with school and its hard to sit down and write without getting distracted by other things. I've actually not been wearing much makeup lately but I did do a photoshoot with two friends of mine for my portfolio so that was super exiting.
This is the makeup im wearing today
And here are my two favorite pics from the photoshoot...
Apart from that I was watching the movie 'The Body' yesterday and got really worked up/insprired to share my opinion so I ended up posted this on my facebook :
'Im not the religious one but I know that beliefs are not based on facts, they are based on what people have in their heart. So I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish or Muslim you need to stop the rediculous need to prove your religion exists and more importantly who Jeruselam really belongs too. We are all children of God and we should all respect each others beliefs! No one should be threatened to believe in their hearts!'
How is the weather where u live?

NO Dry Skin this winter!
So... I havent updated in a long while! Sorry? I've been so busy with college (as usual) its crazy but here's another post inspired by a good friend and fellow blogger!
As the winter is getting closer you might start to come across a few dry spots here or there...I hate dry skin with a passion to be honest I'd rather have my oily skin then have dry, brittle,flaky unatractivness ! erghh.
Here's a few steps to avoid winter dries!
Step 1: Exfoliate
Use an exfoliating brush like the one below from body shop and exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week if your dry and 3-5 if your oily.
This will get rid off all the dead cells and flakes that collect naturally as your skin cells die off and re-grow!
DO NOT USE EXFOLIATORS WITH BEADS they rip your skin and cause you breakouts no joke!
Use a cream wash or a thick gel with this and make sure your gentle! Don't be scrubbing at your face like it's your heels!
Step 2: Use a daily cleanser that is rich and moiturising no matter what your skin type is .... if you really want to get your skin squeaky clean use castor oil as a cleanser and then apply a hot flannel to your face and steam it until the flannel goes cold.
Good for oily skin:
'Clean&Clear Deep Action Cream Wash for Sensitive skin' I've gone through several of these and love it, it has never broke me out and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.
Good for more dry skin:
'No7 Hot Cloth cleanser' love this stuff even though I have oily skin most of the cream absoarbs in also leaving smooth and radiant skin
Step 3: use a toner that is alchohol FREE! Harsh toners only strip your skin of it's essential oils and nutrients so use rose water and glycerin instead or even witch hazel if you need one thats a little more invigorating. You can get both of these in Boots near the medical stuff just ask instore.
Step 4: Moisturise like there is no tomorrow! The most essential step. I love a good moisturiser and even though you have oily skin you still need to moisturise and there is a moistuiser out there for you!
For the more oily:
Going through my second bottle and love it leaves your skin soft yet absoarbs super quick and is oil free.
For the dryer skin:
Aalso have used a whole tub of this did not break me out and left my skin really hydrated. It does leave a bit of a slip to your skin so not too great on the oily but still love this!
...and my faviroute of all time!!!!
I do not care what skin type you are extremely oily or extremely dry acne prone or not this is amazing!!!
I am on my third bottle of it and it does wonders for my skin! I always always have a bottle during winter and use this at night before I go to bed!! it does not break you out and does not make your skin more oily ! I LOVE THIS STUFF.
Last but not least eye cream!
I have tried several but this by far is my favorite! And yes I'm only 16 but thats when you should start with eye cream so you prevent any wrinkles because once you have them its way too late!

Key is in the word prevention!

Keep Your Immune System up!!!
yhyh boring medical stuff coming from me... but its easy and tasty if you like cranberry and blueberry juice! oh and pomegranate...
i personally am an ocean spray girl just because im a sucker for brands but i have tasted cranberry juice from other brands and it didint taste ...right shall i say. all of these juices are great for getting your antioxidants, vitamin c and other goodies which i dnt remember and im too lazy to go and read the carton. now if your not the type to care about your inside well then its also all very good for your skin...blueberry is known for its anti ageing and healing properties and cranberry juice will perk up your skin because of all the vitamin c. so if you dnt care about being healthy then al least think about your skin and to be honest it tastes so good your not exactly missing out.
im not going to go of on a tangent and strart ranting about people who dnt take care of themselves because i dnt wna be pissed off for the rest of the morning lol. but if u are one of those ppl who think life is too short to look at what you eat do u understand its only gna be shorter if you dnt look????
anyway hope it was usefull xxx

Little Haul
i was in morrisons with my mum jst food shopping and as usual i had to go through the beauty section and i picked up a few things...
so i bought 3 'Nair' hair removal creams the guy at the check out must of been thinking this bitch is hairy... lol... but the only reason i bought 3 is because they were only £1 each!!! rediculously cheap!!!
i was running out of my facial wash which is the tea tree foaming wash from superdrug... so i decided to go for the garnier clean detox which is for normal skin but i thought ill give it a go its a really thick gel. ill do a review once i use it for a few weeks!
is there anything new you bought and love?

Job Hunting
so i went out today with a fellow blogger to job hunt! to be honest nothing too exiting went down jst gave out our cv's to a few places me picking the makeup and skin her the fashion but yhh.
dnt mind the eyebrows they need plucking
ok so the most exiting part of the day was definatly the SHOES! we went to a new look and they had a HUMOUNGUS shoe section! i fell in love with a pair of black sherlings! i really wnt them i love them!
these but in black they are so comfy its unbelievable!
What Ruined My Skin
soooo.....i want to personaly kill this product! it ruined my skin and im so devistated(its back to normal now). its the Clean&Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash! dont buy it it makes ur skin dry ,breaks you out and smells like mens shaving foam. i also finally realised that this was the reason why my skin got really really dry last summer. right now im against all products that have exfoliating beads as they create micro-tears in your skin and carry around bacteria and inforct ur face! instead to fix my skin i have been using the body shop facial brush twice a day it cost £3 and is a good replacement if you are craving a clarasonic!
here's the picture of the devil jst in case!
