Non-heat 3 hairstyles

Hello Beautiful people today's post is 3 simple hairstyles for you!! These can be created if you are running late for school/work/anything really!! 

1.) The first one is a simple braid at the back of your head. If you don't know how to do a braid (plait) just section your hair into 3 and then the section on your left take into the middle and then the middle section will go under the left one and then do the same to the right side and repeat till you are happy with the length of the braid :) if this is too confusing you can always type in on youtube 'simple braid tutorial' that will make it more easier for you!!

Because I find my hair very flat I used my L'orèal texture styling spray , you can get this in any drugstore I got mine in superdrug. Here is a photo so you know what it looks like : 

Before I plaited my hair I sprayed this in the top section of my hair and then scrunched it to make it have volume you can brush through your hair it still stays in!! :) 

2.) I don't really know what you call this hairstyle I guess you can call it the 2 braid back plait (just cause it rhymes ) 

Anyway, what you do is take a section from the front of one side of your hair then plait it, if you have small elastics use them but I put hairspray in mine to keep the ends in place. Then do the same to the other side so you should end up with 2 braids like this:

Then take the 2 braids to the back of your hair and tuck underneath each other so you can't see the ends like this:

 Sorry it looks wonky :/

Then using bobbin pins grip the braids so everything stays in place. Then this is optional but you can spray hairspray to make the hairstyle last longer in place.

This is a mid shot of the hairstyle (woah using my media skills naming the shot) 

3.) This hairstyle,i also don't know what it can be called i guess you can call it the Katniss look?

 Anyway, to achieve this look you need to partern  your hair and then make bunches that are at the back of your hair NOT the side. Then braid the bunches and tie it with elastics or really thin hair ties.

 

 Then taking the two braids pass them over and bring to the top of the bunches so you are making a circle (but not a perfect circle)

 Here is what i mean by placing at the top

 Then take bobbin pins and grip the ends of the braids together and grip any loose parts.

 Spray hairspray for a longer finish (optional)

Barry M Smokin' Hot Shadow And Blush Palette

Hey Beautiful people, so this post is kind of like a review i suppose on my Barry M eye shadow and blush palette. So this is what it looks like:

This is what the Palette looks like, i got this for Christmas and i must say i have been using it a lot. But i have to apologize for the flash from my camera as you can't really tell the 2 colours that are at the front. Well the first one is a shimmery white and the other is a pearly colour. In the palette there is 5 shimmery colours and 1 matte and a coral shimmery blush which i must say is beautiful. The colours are really pigmented and you can make so many different looks ranging from a day look to a night look.

Chanel Universal Bronzer First Impressions

Hey beautiful people, so todays post is my first impressions of the Chanel universal bronzer or you can call It the makeup base. So I was very excited about buying this product and really looked into getting it before I purchased it as it isn't the cheapest. The product costs £30 in John Lewis but I only really had to pay £10 as I had £20 in voucher's. So this was the best way I could really buy the product as it doesn't work out that expensive for me that way.

So here is the beautiful Chanel packaging 

And the product itself 

There is mixed opinions about the Chanel universal bronzer as to the way it is applied, it supposed to be quit difficult until you have found the way that is better for you. However I didn't have this problem, maybe it depends on how much you apply. Anyway it only comes in one colour and it isn't a muddy or orange colour so I think it is perfect. The bronzer is supposed to give a natural sun kissed look and it definetly does. Which is a bonus for me because I don't tan I just burn so it is going to be used a lot in the summer. It is a mousse and I apply it with this brush...

A tapered dense brush. I don't use a lot at all I just dab my brush in the mousse and then like wipe or dab the majority of it on the back of my hand and apply to my cheekbones and temples. So overall I really love the Chanel universal bronzer and think it is going to be my new obsession I can't fault it, it's just gorgous but I suppose it has to be for what you pay. I literally love it sooo much and it has made me want to buy more things from Chanel now.

Lets begin with nails:

 These two nail varnishes came in a set of eight from boots. I love theses two together as they are just gorgeous, but to finish the look of I added a studded diamond  only on my ring finger on one hand.

Makeup:

Theses four eyeshadow's I used through the crease to add definition and just to warm it up. I also added a dark brown from clinque called bewitching.

 

 

And this is most of the makeup I used, however this is not all of it but I will list all of the products below starting with my face:

 

> Revlon photo ready perfecting primer

> Bourjois healthy mix foundation

>Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer

>Elf contouring blush and bronzing cream in "st lucia" (but I only applied the bronzer)

>Mac mineralize skin finish in "soft and gentle"

>Rimmel stay matt powder

 

Eyes:

>Avon eye primer

>white eyeshadow from the palette in the photo

>Eyeshadow's in the photo above

>Nyx roll on shimmer ball in "platinum"

>Maybelline gel eyeliner

>black pencil on my top waterline

>benefit they're real mascara

 

Lips:

>Eos lip balm

>Topshop lipstick in "innocent"

>Mac lipglass in "dreamy"

 

And this is what the makeup looked like:

 

 

 
And finally the outfit:

I love this outfit as the dress can be worn casual or dressy up but it is from newlook however it was on sale so it might not be there anymore. And it is just a Navy dress with black leopard print pattern

 

And then I just added this beautiful staple necklace which is also from newlook.

 

This was Hayley's outfit for NYE

Sheer navy/black poka dot dress- Forever 21

You would have to wear a black vest underneath as it is very see through!

 

Hope you all enjoyed todays post and there will be a post of the two palettes I used some when in January and happy new year <3 <3  <3
