Extensions Extensions Extensions...

Is it just me? I think I am, and always have been obsessed with them. It's just crazy how you can change the way you look in a short time, and with clip-ins, you can choose what you want to look like and change it up day to day, hour to hour!

So I used to have such long hair, even then I wore the occasional pieces of hair just to add volume and colour.
Then when my hair was a medium length I got them to make it super long.
And now I have short hair I've had some and cut them to blend, they aren't long but they make such a huge difference!

I have a recent YouTube video where you can see what it looks like, I love it. >>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v90jTR-5CQA&lc=8jwCmg3X2Ev_B849oQT41gp-84R-YFYWbcRjrnKC1ms&feature=inbox<<<

But basically I'm sick of my short hair, I've had enough and I don't feel feminine with such short hair :/



I had some Rapunzel Rapunzel hair extensions lying around from ages ago, I think I got 2 packs to get the right colour and never sent the lightest blonde ones back, so I dyed them twice (Nice'n'Easy 116A btw) and tbh, they aren't the best quality extensions, regardless of the hair dye, the other ones I used last year weren't great either.

I really want to buy the micro-beads ones (like these)

 and do it myself, to look as natural as poss, but I'm not too happy about the price of it all :/ plus if you pay a professional to do it, they charge hundreds and it isn't really that hard.

Anyway, tell me guys, how do you feel about hair extensions? Yay or Nay?

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ

Hello everyone!
So I thought this product NEEDED me to blog about it, it is just so amazing, I am in love :D

But seriously, this lipstick is the creamy-est, glossy-est, most lovely-est product I think I own.

Yes it is ridiculously expensive, I think I got mine for £22, but back then I had 25% off at John Lewis so it was £16.50 and I honestly would pay that much for this item.
I only have one of these for kinda obvious reasons haha.




As you can see, mine is in shade 9 but when I went on the website it didn't look anything like what I have, if you go on YSL website, I think my one is number 8, bit confusing I know.






The colour is quite bright so be prepared, it's nothing crazy but definitely not subtle! It's not fushia but it is a bright pink, here I have a photo of it on my lips...









Altogether I would say go out and buy this product as a luxury, maybe even for Christmas? And unless you are loaded, don't wear it everyday, enjoy it for every now and then :)

Thanks for reading guys I'll talk to ya soon! xxx

Avatar Make-Up

So last night, I created a monster....


Yep, I know, just call me Frankenstein! (Frankenstein is the doctor not the monster, remember?!)
I haven't posted on here in a ridiculous amount of time and thought this would make an interesting post!
I also have a video for it which I will put here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv3NI0xP0sU << once I've edited and uploaded it!

So basically a mini step-by-step would be:
1. Paint face blue
2. Paint nose white
3. Apply eye shadow to eyes
4. Contour nose and face
5. Line eyes
6. Apply dark blue/black lines from corners of face inwards (not the whole way)
7. Apply white dots (and gems if you have them) around lines
8. Put eye shadow on lips
9. DONE!

Of course this list looks easier said than done as it took me a loooong time since I have no experience in avatar making, but here are the products I used...





The palette is 'Bad Girl' from sleek, I love sleek palettes as they are soo cheap and it means that if you have lots, what ever look you want to do, you probably have the perfect colour for it!

Afterwards we went around the uni jumping up on people through their windows if they were on the bottom floor, seriously funny stuff, I will definitely upload what we found to YouTube as we recorded some of it!

I hope you found this interesting and enjoy the tutorial for it on YouTube!

Love you all!
