Going For Gold - Olympics Inspired Tutorial

Hello Lovelies!

Most of the world is buzzing about the Olympics, and it inspired me to do a little hair and makeup tutorial.   I've seen a couple of team GB tutorials on youtube, but I thought I would keep it quite general, so anyone any where would be able to get something from it! Anyway, hope you enjoy x

What I'm wearing - trip to the transport museum

Hello Lovelies!

On Wednesday this week it was sunny! I thought I'd start with that, seeing as the sunny days in Scotland this year have been few and far between.  Anyway my Mum, Dad and I ended up going to the Glasgow Transport Museum, just for something to do so we weren't sat in the house on such a lovely day.  So I thought I'd show you what I wore in terms of clothes and makeup :)

Boots Sleep Rollers

Hello Lovelies!

Sleep rollers have been the talk of the blogger town for a while now, but I though I'd give a little post on my experience with them.  I purchased the boots one, as at the time these were most easily accessible to me.  I bought the red ones which are the large ones, they also have blue medium ones but I felt that they wouldn't give me the look I wanted.

What appealed to me when buying these was the whole "effortless" hair thing, because as much as I can spend ages doing my makeup, I get pretty bored doing my hair sometimes!  When putting them in my hair I run my straighteners through each section so that it sets a little easier once it cools.  And so that they don't come loose I give them a little wiggle so the velcro can attach to the roots of my hair.

Rollers just put in before bed (and no makeup eek!)

Yankee Candle - Strawberry Buttercream

Hello Lovelies!

A bit of a different post today!  I thought it was about time I talked about my obsession with candles!  Specifically yankee candles, because I find that they have the best smell pay off - with a lot of cheaper candles not smelling like anything at all!

My latest purchase was the Strawberry Buttercream large 2 wick tumbler.  Normally this would be £19.15 but I got it for £13.50 in a sale!  Which if you know yankee candles that's a steal for a candle that size.

Essie Peach Daiquiri

Hello Lovelies!

Quite a few posts ago now, I talked about Essie Buy Me A Cameo which you can see here.  And in this post I mentioned getting two nail varnishes!  Peach Daiquiri was the other one I got.

It's a gorgeous bright coral-red colour - which I found a little bit confusing, because peaches are...peach.  So me being me I googled Peach Daiquiri's wondering if that's the colour the cocktail is but nope! They're still a peach colour!  Anyway, regardless of me thinking it's weirdly named, I love the colour!  It's definitely a summer nail colour!

Essie Peach Daiquiri - £7.99

I used two coats to get a completely opaque colour - but you could definitely get away with one coat of this. It's just a habit for me to do two coats!  Also if you're looking for the perfect nail and lip combo, this is exactly the same shade as the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in Rose Culte.  And it's also exactly the same as one of the sleek lipsticks, but I don't know what that one is called!

Here's a Strawberry & Peach Daiquiri on me! (this colour is more like it!)

MAC Dazzleglass - Bare Necessity

Hey Lovelies!

Aaages ago I decided that I ought to try some of the MAC lipglosses because, they were just about the only product of theirs I'd never tried.  I'm not big on lipglosses anyway, but I'm trying to get into them more.  I've decided that I probably like lipstick more because Scotland is so windy all of the time, and it saves from getting hair stuck to you lips!

Anyway, I decided on a dazzleglass because I just thought it looked so beautiful in the tube.  I chose Bare Necessity, which is described as an 'apricot colour with red and gold pearl'.  It looks quite orange in the tube but after swatching it it's a lot more sheer, which I like, as I wasn't looking for orange glittery lips!  The glitter in this is gold, so it gives warmth to the colour which is lovely!

MAC Dazzleglass - £17.00
