How to get fuller looking lips!

Hi lovelies! 

Today's post is about how to get fuller lucicous lips! We have a few tips and tricks that we use to make our lips look bigger so here they are! 

1. Apply a lip plumper or lip scrub to enhance the size of your lips. I applied the NYX lip plumper in Pamela 10 minutes before I started to apply my makeup. 
Bare lips.


2. I then wiped of the lip plumper and applied the NYX wonder pencil in light to the centre of my lips. 


3. I then applied the Essence lip liner in Satin Mauve to the outer halves of my lips. 


4. Lightly blend the two colours together with your finger. 


5. I then took the essence lip liner to outline the bottom line of my lip to create a shadow appearance on my bottom lip. 


6. You can make this look very intense or very subtle so I took the NYX butter gloss in strawberry parfait to make this look more wearable. I applied that all over to lips to give the white a hint of colour. 


7. I then applied a highlighter to my cupids bow and lightly dusted a contour shade under my bottom lip on my chin to create the effect of a shadow. 

8. Lastly I just dabbed a bit of highlighter onto the centre of my lips. 


Hope you guys enjoyed!

Goldwell Hair products: Rich Repair Serum & Blondes and Highlights

Hi lovelies!

So todays blog post is all about hair and our thoughts on some wonderful products from Goldwells.



Goldwells is a well known company that specialises in hair care. Today's review is on their Blondes and Highlights 60 second treatment and their Rich Repair 6 Effects Serum!

The Rich Repair 6 Effects Serum is a leave in treatment with 6 benefits: instant shine, silky suppleness, improved elasticity, anti-frizz effect, healthy ends and anti breakage. We have been using this every night for about 2 weeks and have noticed a big difference with our hair. Our hair is very dry and brittle so this product have been that extra bit of conditioning treatment that we have needed. The ends of our hair are noticeable smoother and shinier all over. This product has just been a life saver to our hair in this cold weather and given life back to it. It's a very concentrated product so a little goes a long way to nourish your hair! Definielty recommend this product to anyone in need of a deeply effective hair serum. 



As only one of us has blonde hair I have been using the Blondes and Highlights 60 second treatment about once a week, and I find that it makes my hair silky soft. As for brightening my hair, I have seen a slight difference in my hair shade.  I feel this will work better on dyed hair. Overall I use this treatment, when I feel my hair needs a bit of life put back into it. It is incredibly fast, does the job, and smells great.

July Favourites!

Hey guys!



Umm so where did July go! It just seemed to fly by! Anyway thought I would do my July Favourite for you so I hope you guys enjoy! 

1. NYX Blush in Peach: I have been using this none stop! It's a beautiful matte pink shade that just looks amazing with a swipe on each cheek everyday! 


2. Face of Australia highlighter and contour kit: This is another product that I have been using everyday and pairing it with the NYX blush! The highlighter in this is seriously amazing!! A beautiful champagne shade that just a adds this glow to your face. The contour shade is also great- not too orange or muddy looking on the face! With these three products it just creates the perfect cheek combo. 


3. Manicare precision blending sponge: So I've recently just picked this up and have heard so many mixed reviews in this- good and bad so I had to try it for myself. And my first impression is that I love it!! It's really soft and squishy and has completly changed the way I apply my foundation. As it's wet it almost dilutes my foundation and makes it look more natural whilst having coverage and just having a flawless finish- I love it!  

4. Rimmel scandal eyes mascara: This mascara has been my go to every day. It makes my eyelashes really long and black and comes off easy which is why I love it for everyday wear. 

5. Covergirl blast lipstick in 800 Whisper: One side of the lipstick I have been completly obsessed with!! It's a light pink nude shade and is very similar acutally to MAC creme cup!


6. Maybelline instant age rewind concealer in fair: The perfect concealer for under my eyes! It conceals and brightens and is just amazing! I love how when you apply it and pat it in, it turns into a powder consistency and just looks great under the eyes. 

7. Olay fresh effects satin finish mosituriser: This mosituriser is just amazing! The formula is between a lotion and a gel and feels like velvet rubbing it into the skin yet it's so mositurising! It also has this pearl effect to it so creates a  healthly looking finish.

Hope you guys enjoy!
