I DYED MY HAIR?!


Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. I had my hair dyed from my hairdresser aka my lovely sister-in-law Sunday evening and I thought it would be nice to show you my new color in a blog post. The cover picture is not the actual hair color, it's been saturated on Photoshop so it's gone black. ;)

When I feel like changing my hair color it usually is a quick and random choice, like suddenly I think or I'll see a color and that's it, my head is set on that color and I'm straight onto telling my sister-in-law. It literally goes in the same pattern as neutral, pop of color, neutral, pop of color. So I'm a brunette, then I feel like going an actual color like red, purple etc. then after a while I'll go back to being a brunette.

The first picture you see is not me it's an image on Google I found that is the inspiration for my hair color, in the pictures of my hair it looks more red toned than purple but in person my hair has more purple tones than you can see on the picture and I think my hair looks very close to the picture I chose for inspiration. When the spring and summer months come I tend to change up my hair color a little more exciting than brunette, I don't intend for this to happen it's just the timing I'm like oooo I fancy a hair change haha.




I hope you liked this post. I'd love to know what you think about my drastic hair change, or if you have any questions on my hair, hair color like what was used to get this color and the process etc. feel free to leave questions in the comments below of on my social media links.

5 Places I'd Love To Travel To

Ibiza

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. The cover picture for this post is a photo I took on my crappy Blackberry when I went to Ibiza back in 2011 hence why the quality isn't so good but I thought it would be perfect for this post. So today's post is telling you my favorite top places I would love and hopefully will travel to some time in my life.

My first place I'd love to travel to is Los Angeles, like pretty much everyone so how basic am I? Haha. Everywhere looks so gorgeous, it would be amazing to go sight seeing around Hollywood, visit the beautiful beaches, go shopping and just enjoy the sites and weather. 

New York is another place I dream about going to, another city in America. Gossip Girl one of the reasons why I want to visit here, once again it looks so beautiful and the shopping places look amazing.

Oops next is another city in America, and that is Florida, simply for Disney World. It looks so magical and everyone wants to go there at some point in there lives, from when their little to even when they're adults.

Australia up next, I never used to want to visit here because of all the spiders, snakes etc. They are literally my fear but the past couple years after watching Australian YouTubers and hearing about it from relatives who live there. I want to sight see around Sydney and sunbathe and chill on all the beautiful beaches, and I'm obsessed with Australian accents. *heart eye emoji*

And last but certainly not least is Paris, Now who doesn't want to go to Paris at least once in their lives? The city of love. It looks so perfect and romantic. I want to go sightseeing, shopping and put my own pad lock on Pont de l'Archevêché aka the Love Lock Bridge.

Well that's the top 5 places I'd love to visit, what are your? I hope you liked this post, it's just a little insight to get to know me, my personality. If you do a post like this then be sure to let me know in the comments below or on any of my social media links.

My Foundation Routine


Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. Today's post I have for you is my foundation routine where I show you all the products I use, how I apply, how well they work and the coverage it gives me.

Firstly, is the most important for me and for everyone one I think and that is moisturize! My skin is very sensitive and dry so literally the worst skin type that can be very hard to work with especially when it comes to wearing foundation. I usually use the Simple Replenishing Moisturizer but some times I use Nivea Creme, it's a family favorite which I spoke about in this post.

Next up is primer, this makes you foundation and other face products to last longer, helps to smooth over your face and make it a nice canvas ready for your foundation, I use the Rimmel Fix And Perfect Pro Primer which I find really does help make my foundation set nicely on the skin, I also like to use the Benefit Porefessional Primer on my cheeks, nose, chin and forehead so basically my T-zone as my pores aren't very small and this helps to blur them.

Now it's time to apply my foundation which currently I am using the L'Oréal Lumi Magique Foundation, this foundation is a dream for me I love it so much and definitely is one of my favorites out of every foundation I've tried. If you want to find out more about it and what I think then I have a review on it here. I apply this foundation with my damp Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge aka the very popular Beauty Blender. I much prefer using this than a brush because as the sponge is dampened it helps set the foundation into the skin to make it look more skin like and it helps with covering my dry patches so they don't look obvious. Some times I do like to use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush if I can't be bothered with wetting the sponge or am travelling.

After foundation it's concealer time and once again I use 2 which are the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in fair and Maybelline Eye Eraser Concealer in light. I use the Collection one for my blemishes and the Maybelline one under my eyes as it's made specifically to conceal under eye darkness so it's going to be hydrating and won't crease. I usually like to apply these with my ring finger as it's the most softest touch finger and the warmness of your finger helps to blend them much better into the skin. To set the concealer under my eyes I like to use a banana/yellow colored powder as it does amazingly at adding more brightness, I've literally become obsessed with using it I think it does wonders. I have a couple palettes with this type of powder in which are the Sleek Corrector and Conceal Palette, Barry M Contour Kit and Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit, they're all very similar in shades, all yellow toned powder so all three do the trick!

Last step for me is not always necessary for me and that's to powder the remainder of my face I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent and the brush I use is the Real Techniques Blush Brush, as I have dry skin some times I don't need to use powder but I do like to powder after I've contoured and applied blush on my face as it blends and softens it. But my contour routine is a whole other post that I will do, so keep a look out for that in the future.
