September 2014 favourites

MUA lipstick in 'shade 1' -  I'm trying to be a little bit braver with my lipstick choices and I've been trying out a number of darker coloured lipsticks. This has been my favourite of the bunch. I'd describe the colour as a 'red wine' kinda shade - making it perfect for this time of year. 

The Body Shop Coconut Beautifying Oil - I have been primarily been using this product as a body oil - it leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated.The oil can also be used on the face and the hair. Coconut is my all time favourite smell so to me this smells amazing. 

Review: VIP Volume 3/4 Flicky Layered Instant Weave

I recently purchased 'The VIP Volume 3/4 Flicky Layered Instant Weave' from VIP Hair. VIP Hair is a line of hair extensions/hair pieces by Vicky Pattison (best known for appearing in Geordie Shore,Ex On The Beach and more recently I'm A Celebrity) alongside Sally's Glitz And Glam.

The VIP Volume 3/4 Flicky Layered Instant Weave is a 22" hairpiece which offers the look of a full head of hair extensions in just a few minutes. 

How to apply

The hairpiece is really easy to apply. First section your natural hair,remembering to leave a couple of inches at the front and sides (I then clip back the rest of my natural hair). The hairpiece is fixed to a lace cap with combs at the top and bottom, slide the combs in at the top of your head and the nape of your neck to ensure a secure fit. Finally backcomb your natural hair and pull it back to cover the join. 

Review - Makeup Revolution Full Vamp Lipstick Collection

Whilst having a browse on the Makeup Revolution website I came across the 'Full Vamp' lipstick collection. I have been wanting to try out some new lip shades for a while now so when I saw that I could get 3 lipsticks for £2 I knew I had to give them a go.

 The collection contains 3 lipsticks:

L-R 100% Vamp, Rebel With Cause, Black Heart

Review - Elegant Touch Little Mix Jesy 2 press on nails

I'm a huge fan of false nails as they are easy to apply and come in such a wide range of pretty designs (which is perfect when you're terrible at painting nails like I am). I usually use Primark's false nails but I recently tried out the Elegant Touch Little Mix Jesy 2 press on nails.

The pack comes with 24 nails in 12 different sizes, adhesive tabs, nail file and of course an instruction leaflet. Firstly I will say that I couldn't get on with the stick on tabs, so I applied the nails with nail glue and that method worked fine for me.

I love the designs on these nails - skulls, glitter and black and white patterns (there's also a white glitter design in the pack too but it wasn't the right size to fit over my natural nails).
