NEW VIDEO|| BaByliss Big Hair Pro

I was really excited when I was asked to collaborate with Argos to try out the BaByliss Big Hair Pro tool, and do a little 'How to Tutorial' for my YouTube channel and theirs.

It really is a fabulous product, that isn't just easy to use, but gives an amazing salon-at-home finish!

Enjoy,

Bumble and Bumble City Swept Finish Hairspray

It has been shockingly hot in England of late. And I mean shockingly hot. As much as the sunny skies are a clear winner Vs the usual umbrella fest of mid-summer, it does leave us in somewhat of a sticky situation. Literally.

Purple Pick-Me Up

Bourjois Khol & Contour  - 86 Violet Malicieux

I was a big fan of Khol & Contour a few years ago, before I had really played around with gel and liquid liners, and this specific brand in black, was my absolute go to, for a smoky eye or a cat flick. 

When I saw it in this gorgeous purple hue, I couldn't resist picking it up as I was a fan of the quality of this brand for years. It is lovely. With green eyes, purple really compliments me, and I love to play around with different shadows, but this is beautiful for a really bold touch.

It is smooth to apply and longevity wise, you obviously wont get the same results as any liquid or gel liner, but it definitely is far superior in terms of pigmentation and lasts a decent few hours before starting to fade, then many pencil liners on the market.

On the Skin

As you can see, it's a gorgeous vivid violet, which is so easy to apply. It's not scratchy like some pencils, but not too soft that you lose control. It is perfectly beautiful to use and the result is fantastic.

You can pick one up yourself for  £4.99 from most good Boots.

Real Techniques Duo Fiber Collection

Real Techniques Ltd. Edition Duo Fiber Brush Set

Duo Fiber Face, Contour and Eye Brushes

These limited edition duo fiber brushes by Real Techniques, (the brainchild of Samantha Chapman), are designed to perfectly apply powder based products. I had read mixed reviews about these brushes; some people were praising their ability to apply the perfect amount of product flawlessly, whilst others were calling them scratchy and of a lesser quality to their original siblings.

My verdict?...

... I like them. They are lightweight, and easy to use. They pick up the right amount of product, (for example Bare Minerals loose powder foundation), and apply it evenly over the face with no build-up or uneven patches. As for them being scratchy and cheap... I just don't get it. They are just as good quality as all Real Techniques products, (which is really good), and I haven't felt a scratch once!

I would definitely recommend these, especially if you are a fan of powder-based products. They work brilliantly, and are limited edition... so what are you waiting for!?

Lots of Love,
