Review l'oreal casting creme gloss light brown 600

when it comes to dying my hair I want it to be quick, easy and not damaging for my hair.
my hair is natural hair I have never used a perminate dye, 3- 4 times a year I like to use a dye just to make it a little richer in colour here is my review for lo real casting creme gloss.

 before use any dye you should do a tester spot to make sure your not allergic, the dye its self doesn't have a horrible smell to it like some do, you get the creme colour and developer you pour the colourant into the developer and shake really well.

you apply it to wet towel dried hair and apply it evenly through the hair and leave for 15 minutes was out the colourant and apply the apricot scented conditioner it smells so good wish they gave you a bigger sachets it doesn't last for the 28 washes that the dye is meant to last for which is a shame as it does really help keep the colour vibrant.

After styling my hair looks so shinny and healthy I have found in the past some dye don't last as long as they say but this really does last 28 washes. it washes out evenly so your not left with roots showing it turns out a few shades darker than may natural colour. I have tried several of their shades and they are also lovely and last a long time.

Jessica Alba white/grey copy

when it comes to style I have to say Jessica Alba has it down, she never seems to get it wrong, she always loves to play with different styles, fabrics and colours. Jessica was seen going to work with her daughter honour wearing a white and grey ensemble, it was effortless chic like always.

Its such a relaxed and comfortable look that can easily worn to work, or to do the day to day errands here is my take on the look enjoy!

Gold dress Jessica Alba inspired

Jessica Alba presented an award at the espy awards at LA's Nokia Theatre on Wednesday, Jessica wore a gold vintage haute couture Elie Saab dress and Brian Atwood metallic heels.

Freshly from her holiday she was glowing with a healthy tan which showed the dress to its best she wore her hair down and poker straight with a side parting.

Her make up was ultra glam bronzed with a dark smoky eye and a neutral lip, as it half way through the summer her in the UK everyone wants to show off their tans here are some of my favourite gold dresses that will show it off.

kim kardashian app

I have to admit though I'm not a fan of the Kardashian clan as they have no talent but are huge celebrities I have watched an episode or two of their show. I found Kim to be self involved though I really liked Khloe she comes across as the best one out of the lot caring, funny and more real.

You would think with all the projects Kim has clothing, makeup TV show she would be making enough money but no, she has now released her app on how to be an A -Lister that in its self is disturbing as its aimed at young girls and they already have the wag and wanting to be a celebrity mentality instead of having a career and working hard.

The app will rake in 85 million dollars for Kim, the app its self is free but for example Kim takes you shopping in the app for ever five thousand dollars you spend in virtual world you spend $4.99 in the real world so you can see how that it going to add up as she has expensive taste.

Putting aside what I feel about Kim herself I find the concept of the app really sad if the world isn't all about celebrities enough I can see teens to early 20's interested in this app as they are part of the I want to be a celebrity when I grow up generation this is just feeding into this notion of I want to be famous without having a career just being famous for the sake of being known.

when Kim takes you shopping on the app and is telling you "bible you look hot" "that looks amazing on you" peoples bills will add up and how will the younger fans be paying their parents the bills could add up.

I cant  see people wanting to play this game for hours on end surly it would get boring spending money on virtual clothing that you cant actually wear with the money you are spending you could go ACTUAL shopping for things you can actually buy and wear.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE APP? WOULD YOU BUY IT?

summer look

 

 

For my base I made my own tinted moisturiser a used a pump and half from my no7 foundation in calico with a pump of simple lluminising lotion with spf15 and a pump of Loreal lluminising primer.

you may think too products with luminiser in would be too much but  it gives you skin a healthy glow. I then used the no7 concealer in calico under my eyes and to cover up a few blemishes, I didn't use a powder to set as I had a nice blow from the cream and primer I didn't want to loss that glow.

 

Instead of using a shadow I used the bronzer from my Estee Lauder cheek palette all over the lid and couple of coats of boots natural black lash curl mascara.

For my cheeks I used the soap and glory face highlighting powder to highlight my cheeks and applied Estee Lauder plum blusher.

To finish off my summer look I applied boots natural collection raspberry high shine lipstick I just dab this on my lips to get a pop of colour.

cardiff internatiional food festival

I took a stroll down to Cardiff bay to take in the food festival I do love my food and it didn't disappoint. there were many different tents filled with amazing food it smelt so good a foodies heaven.
As well as food there were  stalls of trinkets and homemade items was such a great afternoon taking in the atmosphere and walking along the bay such a relaxing vibrant place to go.
Here are a few pictures I took.

war horse at wales millennium centre

Last night I went to see war horse, I had heard such great reviews myself I hadn't watched the film version but knew what it was about and had high hopes for the play.

I really enjoyed the play though I did find it a bit loud at times made me jump out of my seat like may others that were also there, but they made the story feel more real how it really is at war.

The puppeteers did a fantastic job and the lead actor who played Albert did such a great job I would recommend anyone to go see it.

 view from the upper circle sadly couldn't take pictures of the play as it would have ruined it for the other people watching it.

lifes to short

over the last 6 months I have been so busy with university work and every day life and what that entails, with having such busy lives we never take the time to sit and take everything in.

I've had a few months off university till my next module starts and I've taken this time to see what I really want career and personal life wise.

over the last few years a lot has happened friends have passed away, I've taken a different direction in my career and went back to studying, but only now really am I taking it all in.

life goes so fast you blink and another day, month year has passed before you no it 10 years has passed and you don't really no where the time has gone. some things I wished I had done and others I wish never happened but that's life.

I've learnt over the last couple years don't time each day for granted as its not guaranteed that's why its called the present, each day is a present another day to be a better you and to do the things you want to do so don't waste it.

with my time off I have been think what I really want to do and have made a list and instead of always thinking oh I'll get round to it, no I will do it here's my list what is on your list of things you WILL do not just talk about doing.

1, graduate I left school when I was 14 so going back to studying was a big thing for me this would be a massive achievement I cant wait to wear my cap and gown and see my mum so proud.

2, travel the world I grew up in a small town I've travel around the UK a bit but the world is my oyster and I want to have as many adventures, experience as many different cultures as possible.

3, I love animals and the ocean I want to do some conservation work on a big 5 game reserve and conservation with the ocean I've always been fascinated with the ocean its a magical, mystical place that we don't no much about.

4, finally do my driving test I've been putting it off because I'm a scaredy cat

5, have a career in woman's buying or marketing I've always been creative and its a dream to have a career in that industry.

6, find love when all is said and done money, career doesn't really matter but love is the one thing that is most important what's the point in working hard if you don't have anyone to share it with.
