Hey guys, i hope this video isn't too boring for you all but it was very requested from you all so i thought i would film it for you :-)

Avoplex Nail and Cuticle oil

2012-02-21T15:40:00.000-08:00

I have been using this cuticle oil for a while now as my cuticles tend to be very dry and grow quite far up my nails so was in need of help.
I was recommended this by a friend and was willing to try anything as i just hated the sight of my cuticles.

I have to say since using it i have noticed a dramatic difference, not only does it keep my finger very soft but it has helped to soften my cuticles so they don't grow as high and has kept them moisturized!

With grape seed, essential vitamins, sunflower, sesame, avocado and kukui nut oils but to name a few it smells divine, i think it smells like melon randomly. The other wonderful thing about this product is that you can use it on any dry areas such as heels and elbows which i find awesome as i love a multi-use product!!!

Soap and Glory Pulp Friction

2012-02-05T07:57:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love this body scrub, after using it for a couple of weeks i have really noticed a difference in my skin and felt the need to tell you all about it!

With a fragrance of frozen Yuzu, Orange oil, Green fig and jungle pomelo it smells divine (almost good enough to eat). It also foams slightly which is a nice twist to a body scrub, i feel like it cleans as well as scrubs off dead skin.

If you haven't tried this product already i think it's time to make a purchase and at £8 you can't go wrong.

Sorry about the editing at the beginning guys i was mega tired when i uploaded this and i don't know if it was my fault or some how the foundation application was cut out by YouTube but i used Mac Face and body foundation in N2 and C6 mixed.

Valentines Day

2012-01-27T12:32:00.000-08:00

So as Valentines is heading our way, i have been checking out the gifts that are out there for you guys and girls.

I have just chosen a couple of things i would like to receive so girls give your guys the heads up and get them to read my blog!

The first thing i would love which is slightly on the higher end of the budget, are the Monster Beats Headphones by Dr Dre.

The quality of the sound of these headphones is second to none, they are amazing! I also have the trouble with some of the headphones falling out of my ears (because i have freakishly small ears) but these are so comfortable and i just love the look of them. Check them out ( HERE )

Another thing i would love to receive would be these Marc by Marc Jacobs earrings.

They are perfect to dress up skinny jeans for the day or would go perfectly with any LBD and at £35 i think they are a bargain and so beautiful check them out ( HERE )

There are some amazing presents out there for him and her which i have found on the Selfridges website, so have a little look ( HERE ) get shopping everyone because it will be here before you know it.

2012-01-23T14:15:00.000-08:00

So i don't know about you guys but i am seriously fed up with this cold weather now, i need sunshine! Like the true obsessive shopper that i am, i am already looking at spring clothing and nothing makes me feel sunnier than some bright colours.

Selfridges have got some amazing new outfits (and i want them all) out that will make anyone feel happy. Check them out ( HERE ) and let me know which is your favourite oufit.

Marc Jacob Daisy.

2012-01-17T02:47:00.000-08:00

This is one of my all time favourite fragrances i absolutely love it! I really love warm fragrances but unfortunately they do not like me, i just can't pull them off i have to go for a fresh fruity/floral fragrance.

This is so fresh and everytime i wear it at one person says to me "you smell lovely, what are you wearing?" Which of course i love. A fragrance quickly makes it into my "favourites" category when someone says that!

I could rave about this all day but i would just bore you, i just can't get enough of it. Give it a sniff next time you are in a shop and let me know what you think.

Tangle Teezer

2012-01-13T03:18:00.000-08:00

I recently bought a Tangle Teezer as i had heard so much about them i felt i needed to try it out.
I didn't really know what to expect because i kind of thought, a hairbrush is a hairbrush.......boy was i wrong.

This creation is just amazing, it doesn't break your hair, or pull i any way, it also makes your hair feel and look silkier, how i don't know but it certainly works!!!!!! As i have fine hair it can easily knot up or get matted when i wash it and any regular hairbrush pulls and i feel like my hair is breaking as i find lots of it in the brush.

Using this has really helped the condition of my hair and its such a handy little size for travel etc and comes in loads of different colours, you can get the Tangle Teezer ( HERE ) i would definitely recommend it to everyone and at £10.50 i think its a real bargain compared to any regular hair brush!

Michael Kors!

2012-01-08T03:52:00.000-08:00

So i have found myself slightly obsessed with the Michael Kors watches, i was working on a client the other day and she was wearing this watch.

I absolutely love it, it's one colour of watch that i don't have and it is really eye catching! It's £199 which for a good watch i don't mind however i need to save my pennies before i can afford it! Check out the Michael Kors watches ( HERE ) and let me know what you think or if you have one let me know how much you love it!

If you are anything like me you will sit there bored with your laptop and just browse the internet for things you can't afford!

Well i do this a lot and as it's January (in my opinion the most depressing month EVER) i felt i needed new things in my life to cheer me up. Selfridges have some amazing new arrivals (i want to buy one of everything).

I am in love with this Alexander McQueen gown, (not that i can afford it) and everything Stella McCartney!

Check out the Selfridges website ( HERE ) and let me know what things you love.

Deborah Lippmann "Razzle Dazzle"

2011-12-26T12:05:00.000-08:00

My favourite nail polish of the Christmas season has to be the Deborah Lippmann "Razzle Dazzle" colour that i got in my December's GlossyBox!

It's a beautiful deep glittery plum, i have used a few glitter polishes before and i have found that normally there is too much varnish and not enough glitter. However this is not the case with this one the colour and glitter payoff is amazing, with only 2 layers i had an amazing finish.

The only thing i would say with any glitter polish is that it better to soak your nails in nail polish remover as they are a little harder to get off, although i have found this helps them to stay on longer so it's swings and roundabouts i guess!!!

Christmas Presents.

2011-12-11T15:58:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

I have been having real trouble this year thinking of good Christmas presents for all of my friends and family and as i am a real Christmassy person it has been tough.

I really love giving presents as i can't think of anything better than seeing someones face on Christmas morning opening a gift they love.
I have found some amazing presents on the Selfridges website and they also have some beautiful Christmas hampers so i just wanted to share this with you as i thought some of you might have been having the same trouble as me. Check it out ( HERE ) and let me know what you think.

Laura Mercier Cleansing Oil.

2011-12-06T08:00:00.000-08:00

I have been using this product for a while now, i originally got it to go traveling with as i thought it would be easier to have 1 product to remove all types of make-up and as i have dry skin i didn't want it completely destroyed by the sun.

The first time i used this i fell in love with it and it is so simple to use, you literally need 1-2 pumps in the palm of your hand and massage it into the face and eyes and it removes everything whilst keeping the skin nourished and hydrated. Then you need to rub water all over the face to turn the oil into a milk and then rinse and it's as simple as that!

At around £30 this is not the cheapest cleanser on the market however i feel it is worth the money and lasts forever so if you want something luxurious then this is the thing for you!

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

2011-12-04T03:38:00.000-08:00

As you can all probably tell my lashes are an important feature for me i just love them to stand out and if someone happens to say to me "have you got false lashes on?" this makes my day, hence why i review quite a few mascaras!

I have used this mascara quite a lot and i know i like it if i buy a knew one to replace it! I think the key is in the wand as it is an irregular shape and the rubber spikes really separates the lashes. They also help if you like to layer your mascara as it doesn't clump.

The price point of this is still very good however not the cheapest compared to Collection 2000 for example but still at £8.19 i think if you have a smaller budget and like things to be under £10 you can't go wrong.

Advanced Night Repair Eye.

2011-11-30T14:33:00.000-08:00

This is by far the best eye cream i have used to date. I apply it day and night (even though it is called Advanced NIGHT Repair) and i love how it makes my under eye feel.

I use a small amount on my ring finger and pat it around my under eye and a small amount onto my brow bone and it really smoothes out the skin and makes a perfect base for my concealer. I also feel it really hydrates the skin and as i have dry skin it stops it looking like crepe paper!

I would definitely recommend this to everybody i know it is quite expensive at £36 so it would be a luxury item, but i have had mine for what seems ages and i still have absolutely loads left so i think it is absolutely worth the money.

Christmas Parties!

2011-11-27T16:25:00.000-08:00

So the Christmas party season is fast approaching and i have a few coming up and i always find it is a struggle finding the perfect outfit to wear.

I am currently on the hunt for lovely things to wear, dress, shoes, accessories etc so if anyone has any amazing ideas or have seen awesome things in any shops they think is worth a look please let me know i would gratefully appreciate it as i seem to be so busy at the minute i haven't been able to look.

Thank you :-)

Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Souffle

2011-11-25T10:12:00.000-08:00

So first of all i would like to thank you all for my lovely get well wishes, since my last video i have not been well at all. As most of you know i have had a chest infection and through coughing so much i have either severely pulled a muscle in my ribs or a have a hairline fracture, either way i have been in a lot of pain hence the lack of blog posts and videos.

So as i am starting to feel a little bit better, i decided to have a lovely relaxing bath and one of my favourite things to apply to my skin after a bath is my Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Souffle.

I have quite dry skin anyway but this time of the year it tends to feel dryer, along with my obsession with anything that smells like coconut, this is one of my favourite body creams. It constantly smells afterwards as well which i love, sometimes people even ask me what perfume i am wearing when it is just this!

It's not the cheapest range in the world this retails at £43.50 but totally worth it for a bit of luxury. I also love the Laura Mercier sets you can get at christmas time so if you fancy treating someone or yourelf i don't think you can go wrong.

"I Love Gold"

2011-11-14T07:53:00.000-08:00

So i may have stolen this title from "Austin Powers, Goldmember" however it is totally relevant to me as the title implies.......I LOVE GOLD!

So when browsing the internet looking for new things i might like to buy (pretty standard for me) i came across the "Gold Rush" section on the Selfridges website which looks amazing, some of my favourites being the Mulberry bags, Lanvin shoes and all of the jewellery!!!!!!!!

Check it out ( HERE ) and let me know if you love it as much as i do and treat yourself to something Glitzy this party season!

Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser.

2011-11-10T13:51:00.000-08:00

I normally use the Laura Mercier cleansing oil or the Liz Earle cleanse and polish but i wanted to try a cleanser that was a budget brand and a brand that is easily available to everyone. So while shopping a Boots one day checking out all of the products (which is where you'll find me if i get lost) i came across all of the Soap and Glory products which i have never tried before so i thought i would give it a go!

I don't know why i decided to try this products over the rest but for some reason i was drawn to it.... it is very simple to use, you just massage it into the face (concentrating on areas the pores clog easier like nose and chin) then once oyu have finished massaging leave it on the skin for a further 60 seconds, and then rinse off with the cloth provided.

I have been using this product for about a month now and i truly love it, i have already been thinking about needing to buy another when it runs out so i know i like if i want to replace it! At £10 this product is definitely a bargain and a brand i would not hesitate about buying in the future.

JO LOVES at Selfridges......

2011-11-09T08:52:00.000-08:00

My favourite luxurious body care is by the amazing Jo Malone, her products are beautiful in every way, even down to the packaging, every detail of this brand i love!

I often get them for birthday/christmas pressies for my family (needless to say i have made fans out of all of them) so when i heard about her new launch i was mega excited!

JO LOVES is the much anticipated new fragrance venture from British beauty entrepreneur Jo Malone.

Capturing the things in Jo's life that inspire her, from ingredients and people to moments in time, JO LOVES will launch with four unique fragrances each with their own distinctive personality; ‘Pomelo’ is Clean and Crisp, ‘Green Orange & Coriander’ is Soulful and Sassy, ‘Orange Tulle’ is Fun and Flirty and ‘Gardenia’ is Rich and Regal.

JO LOVES will launch with Pomelo beginning Monday 7th November and each individual fragrance will launch one day after the other until Thursday 10th November.

Each fragrance is as beautiful as the next and if you all love Jo Malone as much as i do, you will adore this collection. It is now available at Selfridges, i will add the link for you (HERE)

I hope you all enjoy and let me know if you treat someone or yourself to this awesome gift this Christmas!

Limited Edition Vaseline Creme Brulee!

2011-10-31T10:19:00.000-07:00

It's very important to keep our lips moisturised during the winter months and i'm always on the lookout for something new and exciting to keep in my handbag. I have always been a lover of the Laura Mercier bath and body range and in particular the Creme Brule so when i found this limited edition Vaseline (which is is exclusive to Selfridges) i had to have it!

It is everything you expect from a lip treatment but has the added bonus of smelling AMAZING, and you all know how i love lip products that smell (and taste) nice :-)
i've been wearing it for a few days now and i am totally in love.

If anyone has the same love of all things delicious like me you can get it (here), i hope you all enjoy and please let me know if you get it and love it!!!!!

Collection 2000 Pump up the Volume mascara!

2011-10-23T13:33:00.000-07:00

Unlike the Big Fake lash mascara, i felt this one really worked! It is very black (which i love) really separates my lashes and adds the volume we all want. I love the curved wand as i feel which ever way you turn it you can reach every lash, with out the wand being massive.

This is a budget mascara i definitely recommend and at £4.99 i think it's an absolute bargain!

Calling everyone in Norwich!

2011-10-23T10:42:00.000-07:00

So we all know how much i love my Aveda hair products at the minute and i was in Aveda in Norwich this week replenishing my products when one of the ladies asked me if i wanted my hair styled for a small donation which goes to water aid.

I said yes as this is a good cause and always love my hair being played with and it was amazing! The ladies in the are really good and professional and i loved what she did, i also saw her do another girl when i was in there that had an amazing french plait up do!

So if you are in the Norwich area i really recommend going especially as it is for Water Aid (they only asked me for a small donation so i assume what ever you can afford).

Next time i will take a pic and please let me know if you go in there as i would love to know what you have done!

Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash Effect Mascara.

2011-10-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

I have been using this mascara for about a week now and as a person who is very big on mascara and making my lashes looking as long and thick as possible, i have to say i'm not massively impressed.

It's quite a natural effect mascara with a very large wand (which i don't get on well with) and i feel i have to apply lots of layers to get any sort of effect. I also feel the mascara could be more black as i am not a fan of mascara's that look greyish as they are not black enough.

With all that said for the price of £4.99 i don't feel i have too many complaints as some mascaras are very pricey these days, so for all of you shopping on a budget i feel Collection 2000 have a very good range at a very good price.

Traveling!

2011-10-12T12:32:00.000-07:00

As i couldn't figure out how to put pics up on my traveling video i thought as it is coming up to the anniversary of me leaving, i would show you all a few.

This is Chang Mai which is Northern Thailand, we went to the Tiger Kingdom and i got the most amazing chance to snuggle this cub, but wait until you see the next pic!

This was slightly scary but amazing!

This is a view from a mountain top in Chang Mai, it was beautiful!

We went on an Elephant trek while in Chang Mai, we camped in the jungle for a night which was such an awesome experience to wake up to this.

The beautiful Koh Phi Phi beach which has to be one if my favourite places ever!

This is slightly random i know but i loved the Chang beer in Thailand especially after being in the sun all day there is nothing better than a nice cold beer (obviously mine was the large).

This was the beach we had outside our villa in Koh Phangan, it was a small treat in the month we were there so we made the most of it before we were back in hostels!

As we arrived in Singapore we were greeted by this huge santa, being away at christmas was the hardest but i loved seeing it from another country, although no one does christmas like family!

I had never seen anything like this hotel before, unfortunately i couldn't afford to stay there but when i win the lottery i'm definitely going back to Singapore to stay in one of their amazing hotels!!

The famous Raffles hotel where the Singapore sling was invented, i had one but it cost me $30!!!!!

Obviously the famous Sydney opera house, this is so surreal looking at something i have only seen on T.V!

And what would the opera house be with out the Harbour Bridge!

Bondi Beach on a slightly colder day as you can see by the lack of people but still amazing to see!

This is the YHA we stayed ta in Yamba, which is a tiny place but i couldn't recommend it more. I had one of the best times in my life here as the hostel owners are so friendly and make everyone feel at home, if oyu ever go to OZ please please go!

One of the many amazing beaches Byron Bay has to offer!

I couldn't go to OZ without going to Australia Zoo which is the home of Steve Irwin, i wanted to take this little guy home!

This is Lake Mckenzie on Fraser Island where i spent my New Years Eve last year, i'm still not sure if this was real, i couldn't believe the colour of this fresh water lake.

Moving on to NZ, this was the 1930's town called Napier, all of the biuldings looked like this!

This was the view of Mt Maunganui.

This was a Cafe called Circus Circus funnily enough they had decorated the place like a circus with clowns hanging from the ceiling and my Hot Chocolate came served in a bowl, which is my opinion is the only way to drink it!

This was South Sea island (the first i stayed on in Fiji) it was seriously small and looked like somehting from a postcard!

I took this pic to show just how clear the water was, i still can't believe it when i look back at this, i was so lucky to of seen it!

One of the many sunrises i saw in Fiji!

The plane ready for my flight home, i was so excited to see everyone but this was one of the saddest moments of my life!

Im sorry if that was boring but it was just a small insight into my traveling experience, if any of you are thinking about going, please don't hesitate it will be the best experience of your life and everything will be exactly how you left it when you get back :-)

Loreal Product Review.

2011-10-06T09:59:00.000-07:00

These are the chrome Intensity Eyeshadows

They have amazing colour payoff, feel very light on the eyes and have an amazing shimmer.

Top 164 Creme Lame

Bottom 182 Blue Jean

These are the Colour Infallible Eyeshadows, they are a loose powder with amazing pigment and when they are applied to the skin they feel slightly creamy, they are also water and smudge proof!

Top 014 Eternal Black

Bottom 021 Sahara Treasure

Left-Volume million lashes extra black, i love the original and this is just as amazing, the rubber wand really separates the lashes and adds amazing length.

Right-Super liner luminizer, this is a really easy to apply eyeliner with a soft sponge applicator, it comes in a gorgeous plum colour with a metallic finish.

Black Amethyst super liner luminizer

The universal lip glow is a clear lipstick that adjusts to the warmth of the wearer to create a shade unique to you. It feels creamy like a balm and on me gives a lovely soft pink tone to my lips.

The Glam Shine Fresh is a lipgloss with a sheer colour payoff, it feels very soft on the lips and not at all sticky, it has the unique heart shaped wand which helps to get a precise application and it smells quite fruity which goes down well with me :-)

Top - 186 Aqua Grapefruit

Today i am loving!

2011-10-03T12:02:00.000-07:00

Today i am loving my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisteriser, we have had a heat wave here in the UK over the past week which is crazy for us as that never happens in October but by no means am i complaining!!!! So today i didn't want to wear much on my skin as i was very very hot so i wore this and i had totally forgotten how much i loved it!

It feels so light on the skin however has a touch more coverage than the average tinted moisteriser so is perfect for me as i do get high colour on my cheeks. It is also in so many finishes (normaol, oil free and illuminating) i think that everyone is bound to find one that suits them.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on :-)

Jewellery!!!!

2011-10-01T17:19:00.000-07:00

So another useless fact about me is that i absolutely adore jewellery (which i get from my mum) and i have so many pieces i love, i thought i would put a few bits on here over time to show you which ones are my favs.

These are my Vivienne Westwood earrings that i am totally in love with, i wear them with everything! They usually go against my taste as i'm not really into heart jewellery but these i adore and wear constantly!

They are really comfortable to wear and i love how the gold sits perfectly with the gun metal grey.

Barry M Lipgloss.

2011-09-30T08:12:00.000-07:00

One of my favourite lipgloss's at the minute is my Barry M lipgloss No 11. It looks quite bright in the packaging but it actually comes out a really soft coral.

I love the texture, it feels really creamy on the lips not sticky at all and the soft colour pay off makes it perfect for day time or if you have a strong eye for an evening look.

Not only do i love the colour and texture it smells AMAZING! It smells just like fruit salad sweets (which have to be some of my favourites) although this is quite dangerous as i manage to use so much as i keep licking it off!

This is a video that was requested a few weeks ago, i filmed it not long after and have been trying ever since to upload it longer and in HD and i have finally done it, i hope you like it!!!!!

Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for being so patient, i know i haven't uploaded i video in a few days that is because i am trying to get the quality better for you all and this seems to be taking a bit of time unfortunately. I am trying to get it sorted as quick as i can and fingers crossed i should be uploading videos again within the next couple of days.

Thanks again

Jemima :-)

Music.

2011-09-20T11:18:00.000-07:00

Music is a massive part of my life, if i'm not dancing around my living room like a crazy person i'm singing (or all of the above). I love the way music can bring memories rushing back into your mind and i always remember exactly how i felt at that time.

My dad has had a massive influence on my love of music and the crazy amounts of music that i own, we have the same interest and love a lot of the same people. It is definitely one of things that keeps me sane and i don't know what i would do with out it, i even play a few instruments.

The reason i say all of this is because:

A) I wanted to tell you all a little bit more about myself and the things i love that aren't make-up related

B) I have just brought Ed Sheerans new album "Plus" and i had to tell you all about it.

Ed Sheeran is from Norwich and he has been going for along time but has just been signed which is awesome as he has worked so hard and i love to support local people but he is just amazing. He writes his own songs, plays the guitar and obviously sings. I adore every song on the album and haven't stopped listening to it!

I really recommend it to everyone it's such a good chill out CD, let me know if anyone else has it or is a fan or buys the CD and tell me what you think.

Winter colours.

2011-09-19T12:02:00.000-07:00

I love to paint my nails, it's always good for boredom! Now it's starting to get a bit cooler i'm thinking winter colours and one of my favourite winter nail colours to wear is Black Cherry Chutney by OPI.

It's such a beautiful colour and i find it goes with everything, it's one of my favourites for my toes! i'm always open to finding a new colour so let me know what your favourite winter colours are to wear!

My Videos!

2011-09-16T08:24:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone,

I know everyone has been finding it hard to see my videos in HD but this is something i am working on, i have had to buy some new software for my computer which is going to take a little bit of time but know that HD is on it's way and i am doing everything i can.

My Hairdresser.

2011-09-16T02:34:00.000-07:00

For everyone who has asked or may want to know where i get my hair cut, it's a hairdresser in Norwich called Cream Hair Associates.

I get my hair cut by the lady who owns it, her name is Stacey. The reason i love to go there is because i find a hairdresser i truly trust hard to find, but Stacey really listens to me and understand what i want or has some great suggestions if i ever want to change my hairstyle. She also understands the needs of hair very well i.e if you have very thick or very fine hair.

My mum, sister and i all go to Stacey and all have very different hair so it's a great example of how good she is with different hair types (as are all of the girls that work there). for those of you who live in Norwich or would just like to have a look i will put a link to the website at the bottom.

Dermalogica Product Review.

2011-09-07T07:13:00.000-07:00

Daily Microfoliant

This product comes in a shaker style bottle which helps you dispense about a half teaspoon in your hands and mix with water into a creamy paste, apply to the face in circular motions and massage for a bout 1 minute and then rinse. I love this product i find it isn't too harsh for my skin but i can really feel it removing all of the dead skin, i really recommend!

UltraCalming Cleanser

You only need a pea sized amount of this cleanser for the whole face, apply to the face and neck area and you can remove with water or cotton pads. it's perfect for quick make-up removal and it really feels fresh on the skin as some cleansers i have used i can feel stripping the skin of all moisture but not this one!

Active Moist

I have been using this moisturiser in the morning as i have a richer one for the evening and it feels so hydrating and moisturising but its not too rich before foundation application so its the perfect day moisturiser for me!

Dramatic liner and bright lips!

2011-09-06T11:51:00.000-07:00

This is a look i often wear on a night out if i want to wear a bright lip, it's really quick and easy to re-create but very effective.

I hope you all enjoy!

My Hair Routine

2011-08-25T03:41:00.000-07:00

Here are the products that i find work for me at the minute, as i have fine hair i love products that will give me volume.......

The Aveda Pure Abundance Shampoo and Conditioner i find really helps to give my hair body but still makes it feel soft.

The volumizing tonic i spray right at the roots all over my head to give me lots of lift.

I use 3 pumps of the phomollient in my hands and rub through the rest of my hair which also gives a light hold.

I Use a very small amount of the macadamia oil and rub it through the ends before i blow dry and it stops the ends from getting too dry if you use lots of heat on your hair, you can also use this as a styling product if you want to smooth out your hair.

I then use a big round brush to give me lots of lift and volume when blow drying my hair, i always section my hair when drying to maximize volume!

Once my hair is dry, i backcomb using my backcombing brush which is good for smoothing as well.

For my day to day hair i use Elnett hairspray which is great as you can brush it out very easily and has a light hold so you still have lots of movement. I also use it lots on shoots or on bridal hair.

If i want maximum hold (generally for a night out) i use Aveda control force which really does not move so it's perfect if you really don't want any fly away hairs.

If i want lots of root lift i sometimes use the Osis dust it powder, you sprinkle some at the roots and rub it in and i feel my hair doubles in size. I generally only use this if i am going out as afterwards your hair feels............horrible basically! But it perfect for a one night thing but i don't think i would use this product everyday.

My Weekend

2011-08-23T15:45:00.000-07:00

So my weekend was amazing, if any of you guys went to V Fest i hope you had an amazing time! All of the acts were brilliant it just added to my already massive love of music (and live music).

Here are a list of all the acts i managed to see:

Plan b
Kaiser Chiefs
Lost Prophets
Bruno Mars
Jessie J
Example
Aloe Blacc
Chase & Status
Eminem
Rihanna
The Script
Scouting for Girls
Ellie Goulding
Squeeze
The Saturdays

Every single act was as good as the next but obviously Rihanna and Eminem were fantastic. I did also really enjoy Plan b which i have never seen before but always wanted to, he had a guy who came on before him and also performed a bit with him who did some beat boxing which i love and am fascinated by. I never caught his name but he was fantastic, if any of you know who he was please tell me as i would love to know.

Gwen Stefani inspired!

2011-08-22T12:30:00.000-07:00

Sorry this wasn't on before guys but i had internet troubles friday and then i was off to V so have been away all weekend.

My cool new tent!

2011-08-17T14:42:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

Just wanted to show you my new tent, i got it for V Fest as it is mega easy to put up and i am a complete tool when it comes to these things. you pull it out of the bag and it just literally pops up, then all you have to do is peg it down and you are done!

I also got a spotty one so that hopefully i can find it again :-) check out the pic below and let me know what you think!

V Festival Essentials

2011-08-15T09:42:00.000-07:00

Check out the video on the V Festival Essentials, i show you all of the products that have made the short list and will hopefully help me feel glam!

One product i did forget to mention (and i'm not sure how i did as it definitely is an essential or me) is Batiste Dry Shampoo. This product is always with me you can even get a handy handbag size one for when you are on the go so i would definitely recommend this one for a festival. I managed to fine this really cool new union jack design can.

If any of you are heading to V Fest, i hope you have a brilliant weekend!!

Summer Nails

2011-08-11T13:59:00.000-07:00

Here are 2 nail varnishes i am loving for the summer and may even make it into my V Festival must haves!

The Revlon "One perfect coral" is a red/orange with a cream texture i would say and looks good even with one coat (although i always use 2), it's such a pretty colour and seems to go with everything!

The Avon Coral Beat i am totally in love with, it is very orange rather than coral in my opinion which is perfect for me as i seem to have a thing about orange things at the minute. i find it definitely needs 2 coats but it is on it just stays on, i find Avon nail varnishes amazing they just don't chip! I wear this a lot on my toes (which take a beating in high heels) and it's on forever! This is definitely a summer must have for me!

FESTIVAL TIME!!!!!

2011-08-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

As I'm sure you are all aware festival time is upon us and me and a few friends are going to V Fest this year which i am very excited about as i have been to a few festivals before but not V!

I'm feeling very excited about it so i'm going to be doing some tutorials and updates on the products and maybe a few essentials i shall be taking with me so look out for it guys and maybe it will help some of you out if you will also be attending and if there is anything any of you think i need to take please let me know!
