MUA undressed palette review

I've owned this palette for quite a while now, so I thought I'd write an honest review of what I think about it.
For starters, the range of colors is just gorgeous and I've heard it's almost a duplicate of the Urban Decay Naked palette, which retails at around £30-£40 (ouch!). You can create so many great looks with this, some for day some for night and it costs only £3 (bargain!). However, some of the colors aren't very pigmented and some flake away easily, leaving a dusting of eye shadow below your bottom eye lid. This is still a great value for what it is and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to add an interesting tone to their daily look. Also, I may do a tutorial on one of the looks I create with this palette over the weekend.

P.S check out my friend Jordan's blog, it's great! http://dreamingofyellowcabs.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

5 products for lovely, luscious locks

I haven't been using heat on my hair for the last 6 months and the difference in my hair is just incredible! The journey to healthy hair may be hard at the start, but I have created a selection of wonder products that have helped me over the last 6 months and maybe they could help you too.

1. Heat protection spray 

Not ready to give up your heat styling routine just yet? Always use heat protecting before using heat on your hair. Even though I don't use heat anymore, I still apply heat protecting spray on my hair right after having a shower, because the heat from the sun can damage the ends of your hair too. It is definitely one of my hair product essentials and can be bought just about anywhere.

2. Give Me texture- VO5

This product is great for days when your lacking a little oomph in your hair. A good way to use this product is to put your hair into plaits after showering, and leave to dry overnight. When you wake up your hair will be full of beautiful waves. Apply a small amount of the product to the top of your hair, to provide the instant volume that your hair needs. You can purchase this product from both Boots and superdrug for around £2.

3. High hair shine spray- Wella 

Apply this to your hair for a gorgeous shine to brighten up dull hair. This product costs around £5 and can be snapped up from a variety of beauty stores from Boots to SallyAnns.

4. 3 Minute Miracle- Aussie 

This is possibly the best smelling conditioner ever created, as well as providing the softest, most moisturized locks a girl has ever seen. True to the label, this really is a miracle product. You can buy this product from Boots for £4, which may seem a tad overpriced for a conditioner, but it's well worth it!

5. Morrocan oil

I don't know how people survive without Morrocan oil, it leaves your hair oh so fabulous! After application your hair will be beautifully silky with an amazing shine, without a residue being left behind. Morrocan oil also has the ability to restore damaged hair. This product is quite expensive, at £12 for a small 25ml bottle, but it lasts for ages, as you only need a tiny amount each time and you don't need to apply it every day. This is probably my ultimate hair product.

Review on LUSH Phoenix rising bathbomb

I am a HUGE fan of lush, so I was exited to try their Phoenix rising bath bar. I was intrigued by its pretty purple colour and gold glitter. This bath bomb took ages to fizz away, which isn't always a negative thing, but in this case it was. There were no 'stand out' features of this bath bomb, other than that It turned the water a pink colour and some might say it is quite boring. I could not agree more. I won't be repurchasing this bath bomb again, I would much rather invest in one of the more exiting lush bath bombs, such as golden wonder and big blue.

Top 3 Favorite Fragrances Of All Time

Throughout the last few years, I have been buying and trialing fragrances and I have come up with a list of my top 3 fragrances of all time:

3. Boho Eau de Toilette 

I got this perfume from a friend as a gift set. I'm not quite sure whether they still sell it of not, but it might come back into stock around Christmas time. The gift set is very inexpensive, priced at around £10 from Boots. It smells just divine! Its scent is very fruity and floral, and very girly. 

2. Dolce & Gabbana- Pour Femme

This perfume is quite expensive, priced at around £55 from most fragrance shops, but I would still highly recommend it. This perfume is ideal for fall/winter evenings with its sweet vanilla and floral scent.

1. Juicy Couture- Viva La Juicy

This perfume is probably my favorite perfume ever.  With its fruity floral scent it is ideal for the upcoming spring/summer season. This perfume would really suit anyone in their teens and some younger adults. This perfume can cost between £30-£50 from most fragrance shops, but despite being quite expensive, It's well worth the money!

What are your favorite fragrances of all time?
