Prescriptives Motor-Eyes Instant Impact Mascara

April 30, 2009

I have fallen in love with another beauty product and this time its Prescriptives Motor-Eyes Instant Impact Mascara!

I have never used an electronic powered mascara, I was always a little skeptical of them, I mean it doesn’t take rocket science to move the wand over your lashes. But I thought they must be good if Estee Lauder and Lancome both have a range of electronic powered mascara’s and as a fan of Prescriptives mascara I had to try there version and wow, wow, wow its amazing!!!

The mascara consists of a vibrating wand which coats your lashes jet black whilst giving them a long, lushes curl. The end results leaves your lashes looking that glamorous that they could be mistaken for wearing fake lashes.

Another bonus is that the mascara does the work for you so if it’s the morning after a heavy night you can just apply your mascara without worrying that your hand is shaky.

I bought mine from Selfridges for £25.00 and its £25.00 very well spent!

WOW…check out Susan Boyles make-over

April 29, 2009

Every time I look at pics of Susan Boyle she has had another drastic change to her appearance. Since appearing on Britains Got Talent everyone seems to have gone Susan Boyle mad and the fame is obviously making her take extra pride of her appearance.

Where has the grey, frizzy hair gone? Where is the make-up free woman with one eyebrow who appeared on our screens 2 weeks ago? Where has the women with no style gone? Someone must of hid the real Susan Boyle and replaced her with a stylish, fresh faced, two eyebrows, dark styled hair Susan Boyle and I like it!

Her makeover is that drastic she could of appeared on 10 years younger and this is only after a few weeks. I wonder how she is going to look in a couple of months time? I wonder is she is going to have any cosmetic surgery? I think she looks fab now and definitely doesn’t need to go down that path! A new haircut, groomed eyebrows and a touch of red lipstick has given her instant glamour and proves that you don’t need to pay thousands for a quick makeover.

She seems to be keeping it “real” though as she will now have top hairdressers wanting to play with her locks but instead she opted for a local salon in her hometown costing only £51.00.

Do you think she looks good for the makeover or if she is going to far???

Tests prove that face creams DO beat the wrinkles!

April 28, 2009

Hurray! Scientists have clinical proof that face creams do reduce wrinkles.

A cream that is now going to be falling off the shelves and in very high demand is Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum. Tests have been done on this product and found it stimulated the production of fibrillin-1, a protein that promotes elasticity in the skin which is lost with sun damage and smoothes out your wrinkles.

Not only does this cream work it costs only £19.75!!!!!!!!!!

I have a lot of confidence in buying a product that has been tested on and proven results instead of a picture of a flawless model who has most likely been air brushed so I am definitely off to Boots today to hopefully pick one up if they haven’t sold out already!

Rihanna and Kanye West to launch own fragrance

April 27, 2009

Shock horror another celebrity is to release their own perfume this time its Rihanna and Kanye West.

The scents are being produced by US company Parlux in associated with Jay-Z’s Iconic Fragrances company.
Parlux have also worked with Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson perfumes so I am sure it will be a huge success like both of there fragrances.

I am a huge Rihanna fan so I am actually looking forward for her fragrance coming out not to sure about Kanye though!

Healthy fingernails…

April 24, 2009

I have been wearing acrylic nails for a loooooong time and I have had them off for one week and I am in agony! I want to go and get my acrylic nails put back on but I need to let them breathe for the first time in years before I do that!

I have been doing some research on ways to try and strengthen my nails so I will share my tips with you!

From what I have found out it is all about supplements and a balanced diet.

Protein is important to build calcium in the nails so you need to eat plenty of chicken and fish. This will help brittle nails and ragged cuticles.

Make sure you stock up on your vitamins. To build keratin you need Vitamin C, Vitamin E and biotin in combinations.

If you notice white spots on your nails you need to take Zinc.

When washing up and cleaning always wear rubber gloves to protect your nails from the chemicals used in cleaning products.

Use a hand and nail cream daily. You can also buy creams specially designed for your cuticles that you should use every day to push the skin down.

If you really want to give your hands and nails some TLC, smoother your hands in moisturiser and wear light cotton gloves to bed.

Hayden Christensen to be the face of Lacoste

April 23, 2009

Ladies very exciting news drop-dead-gorgeous actor Hayden Christensen is to be the face of Lacoste!!!

Lacoste have got a new fragrance coming out soon and I am sure it will be a huge success with Hayden as the face. I have smelt Lacoste on a man before and it was gorgeous so hopefully Lacoste Challenge will not disappoint. Reports state that the fragrance will be a mix of the past and present so we will have to wait and see!

Not only is he going to be on billboards he is also doing an advert for Lacoste.

The fragrance will be available from July 1st. I am more excited for the advert.

Worst women’s deodorant

April 22, 2009

I stayed at my mates and to my utter discuss I forgot my deodorant and had to borrow hers and all she had was Adidas for women, ok so I was not to impressed by having to use this as is reminds of a deodorant for men but I was desperate and had no choice but to use it. When I first put on the deodorant i nearly hurled when I had to put it on as the odor is so strong you struggle to catch your breath.

This deodorant is not a deodorant it is just a vile spray. When you put it on it doesn’t even produce any wetness, weird! It is meant to last 24 hours, yeah right, after one after I was off to Boots to pick up a scrummy Nivea deodorant stick and smell like a lady again.

What concerns me the most is that Adidas deodorant is for women who go to the gym and god help the person who is running next to the women wearing this deodorant.

So this product gets 0 ratings!!!

Pretty For Prom

April 21, 2009

This year is going so fast and before we know it the most popular event of the year will need to be penciled in your diary…PROM NIGHT!!!

Preparing for your prom night is pretty daunting and you will want originality and glamour the last thing you want is your best friend turning up in the same dress as you!

Your make-up needs to be flawless, you don’t want to turn up looking like a drag-queen on prom night. If you are lucky enough to have a beautician to apply your make-up make sure they do not go overboard on your eyes in smoky grey and cape on to much black mascara and eyeliner, not a pretty look for a prom. If you are going to be applying your make-up yourself go for a more natural look. All you need is a natural base and use concealer to cover up dark circles under your eyes and any blemishes. As you are going to be up on your feet all night dancing I would recommend using a powder to hold your foundation onto your face. On your eyelids use a lavender shade (very 2009!) not only is lavender bang on trend it is also a flattering colour for everyone and add a touch of black mascara to give you longer, fuller lashes. Your cheek colour should be a light pink, start at the apple of your cheeks and blend down giving the effect of striking cheek bones. Don’t forget to leave your house without lipgloss. Lip-gloss will give your lips and sexy look making all the men want to kiss you!

When it comes to prom night your hair plays a major part! Your hair will complete your outfit and has to be looking its best for your night. I would recommend going for an updo as it is a classic look and is ultra elegant. The prettiest updo has to be the pony loop at the back and every hairdresser will now what you mean if you ask for this look. If you want to create the look yourself you need to scrape your hair back with a paddle brush to style the hair into a pony and use hair pins to pin the pony back.

Now the exciting part…your dress! Getting the most beautiful prom dress you can find is vital. Choosing prom dresses is a once-in-a-life time experience so you want to spend time and effort.

Before picking your prom dress make sure you tick these boxes:

Are you going to be able to eat and drink in your dress and also have a good dance?

Will the colour flatter your figure?

Do your accessories match?

Your prom is the opportunity for you to look and feel your best and if your hair and make-up is to perfection your dress needs to be equally as good.

Now all you need to do is find a drop-dead-gorgeous prom date and coordinate there clothes with your outfit!

How to make your lipgloss last longer…

April 20, 2009

I love having glossy lips when I am on a night out but obviously when I am on a night out I also love to drink! But as soon as I have a few sips of vino by lipgloss likes to stick to the glass and come off my lips.

So if like myself this happens to you the trick is to prepare you lips by layering up so your lipgloss stays put.

Before you go out fill your entire lips in a lip liner that matches the colour of your lips. Then apply a neutral lipstick. This gives your lipstick something to hold onto so it doesn’t grab onto your glass of wine instead.

Easy!!!

Spring 2009 = Lilac Make-up

April 17, 2009

Ok so you might not of worn lilac make-up since you were a little girl playing in your mums make-up bag but this Spring the colour to be seen out in is lilac!

Think metallic lilac with your floral skirt or dress, this is starting to sound oh-so-wearable now.

The majority of my summer clothes have some kind of lilac in there so I think this might actually look good.

To get the eyeshadow right you definitely can not go overboard. Paris Hilton looks ever so chic below and has mastered the trend to perfection. I love the dark liner with the purple eyeshadow, hot!


So ladies its time to hit the shops and stock up on lilac eyeshadow pallets!!!
