Frizzy hair problems?

My hair is one of those annoying inbetweeny hair types. It's not super curly and neither is it straight. This makes it a pain in a morning as I can't just brush it and leave the house. Cause when I do brush it, it doubles in size. Actually it's probably more like four times the size. Anyway I've tried some serums that are meant to calm frizz and you put it through dry hair but I find that my hair feels dirty and greasy.

Anyway, I was in the body shop, around 2 months ago and I was chatting to the lady who worked there and she suggested The Body Shops Coconut oil Hair Shine. 

The perfect red lip?!

I absolutely love wearing bright red lips especially near Christmas. So I thought I would tell you what my two favourite bright red lipsticks are.

The first one is from L'oreal. 

It's from their colour riche serum line and this one's in the colour 502, True Red. I can't remember the exact price of this lipstick but it's between £6 or £7 I think. Which for a lipstick I think it's quite reasonable, but not amazing. The lipstick it self however is really good. It's so so pigmented and glides on so easily. It's so easy to apply which means you don't have to mess around trying to apply it 3 or 4 times. I find that it's quite long lasting and will stay on all day if I'm out shopping or something but on a night when you're drinking and eating is does tend to fade a little bit. But when is does fade it doesn't fade patchy which is good so you don't have to worry about checking in a mirror after every drink. 

My next favourite is from MUA. 

It's one of their normal lipsticks in the shade 13. It's only a £1, which is a bargain! It's really bright and very pigmented, but it is a tad on the orange side of red rather than a deep red. This ones not quite as easy to apply as it can be bitty, which is a shame, but usually I few coats and it looks the same as the l'oreal lipstick. It's lasting power is really good! I would say it's as good as, if not better than the l'oreal which makes this even more of a bargain! 

I swatched them both on my hand, the bottom one being the l'oreal and the top being MUA. You can see when they're swatched side by side the MUA one looks brighter and the l'oreal looks like a deeper red. 

However when you apply them to your lips they look almost exactly the same. On the top I have l'oreal and bottom I have MUA. I think they look really similar, and though the MUA is slightly drying on the lips I would still stay its as good as the l'oreal especially at the price it is! What you like to see more lipstick dupes?

Sweater Weather Tag!

Favourite candle scent?

My favourite candle, by far is Yankee candles Cranberry Chutney. It reminds me of Christmas and I love it! Unfortunately it's really hard to hold of and I haven't found any other brand which do a similar one! Buts it's so cosy and warm, I love it.

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

This is really close between tea or hot chocolate. I think I would go with hot chocolate as I only ever drink it in the winter, whereas tea I have all year round!

What's your best fall/autumn memory? 

I think my best autumn memory would be from when I was really little, like 5 ish. Where we used to live we had a garden which had massive trees and I always remember that during October I would spend hours with my mum sweeping up the leaves as they would cover the garden. I remember being quite helpful but looking back at photos I tend to just be sat in piles of leaves! But yeah I think that's my best fall memory as it reminds of where we used to live and spending all my time with my mum, which I loved. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? Ahh this is such a hard decision for me. I've always loved a dark lip but I've recently started loving winged eyeliner. So I think i'd go with winged eyeliner.

Best fragrance for fall/autumn?

I absolutely love Dior's hypnotic poison. It's a heavy scent but really nice and fitting for winter and autumn.  

I'm going to miss out the next one, favourite thanks giving food as we don't have thanks giving in England. Unfortunately, I would love to have another excuse to eat loads.

What's autumn weather like where you are?

Frigging miserable. But I love it. Autumn must be my favourite season by far. The weather is normally quite cold, and towards the end of autumn it begins to get quite rainy, which means an excuse to have more hot baths!

Most worn sweater?

My most worn sweater must be my grey azteky jumper which is quite thin but it's good for layering. I found it in a sale in M&S for £6! And I just had to have it. 

Or it would be my recent purchase of this beautiful sheep jumper! It's purple with a wooly sheep on and I love it. It's quite thick but still good for layering. I got it from primark for around £10 I think. They do a few different colours in this sort of design which is quite good. 

Must have nail polishes this fall/autumn?

I've being loving Revlon nail polishes recently and I've recently done a blog post about two, classy and royal but another must have one is Revlon Red. It's a slightly deeper red so it isn't bright but it's too dark either. 

Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in leaf piles all the way! Love it almost as much as jumping in puddles.

Skinny jeans or leggings?

Leggings are so comfy and warm so I would have to go with leggings. They're like socially acceptable PJ's

Combat boots or Uggs?

Combat boots definitely. Love them and I've never really been into Uggs.  

Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

I've got to admit I've never had pumpkin spice, shhh.

Favourite fall/autumn tv show?

It's kinda autumn/winter tv show but definitely I'm a celebrity! It's always the lead up to Christmas, so of course I love it, but I really enjoy getting ready for bed and watching it. 

What song really gets you into the fall/autumn mood? 

It changes every year. I've never had one song which I listen to every autumn, apart from maybe Taylor swifts first album, yes it's my guilty pleasure. But this year I've been loving Settle down by The 1975, well anything from The 1975 to be honest. 

That's my sweater weather tag as a post! I love autumn and I really enjoyed doing this tag. 

Thanks, Daisy. Kiss <3  

Rimmel Scandaleyes eye shadow sticks

So I've been looking at the Scandaleyes eyeshadow sticks now since they first came out and I keep telling myself I don't need them, but finally I gave in and picked some up. I only picked two colours, out of the five the boots had, as I thought they were the ones I'll get the most use out of.

I picked up two, in the colours 003 bad girl bronze and 002 bulletproof beige. They also had a black one, which I can't remember if it was matte or not (sorry) and then a bright vibrant blue and purple, which I think I might have to go back and get! But I thought these were the must wearable so I thought I'd test these out before buying the other colours. 

The first one which really stood out to me was this one, in bad girl bronze. It's quite a dark brown with gold glitter running through it. I tried just pressing lightly and doing one line and is gives you quite a lot of colour. If you press a bit harder and do a few strokes is does definitely get darker. It goes on really easily and smooth so it's easy to apply straight to your eyelid. I found that if you left it a few minutes after putting it on it wasn't very easy to blend but if you try blend straight after applying it, it does blend a lot better, still not amazing though. 

The second colour is bulletproof beige. This has the same consistency as the other one and goes on very smooth. With this one though I do find you have to work it a tiny bit harder to get really good colour pay off. However it's still really pigmented and easy to use. I have used this as a highlight and an all over lid colour and I really liked it. I found it easy to blend, easier than the brown in my opinion. I've also found that they both stay on all day really well. I sometimes have a problem with eyeshadows as they do tend to crease or fade on my eyelids but I thought these stayed on really well throughout the day. They claim to be waterproof but, fortunately, I haven't had to test this out yet but they do seem to come off quite easy using most makeup or eye make up removers so I don't know how well their staying power will be if they do get wet. 

I would recommend these two as they are really wearable and easy to just throw in your bag and you don't really need any brushes with them.

Thanks. Daisy, Kiss <3

Argon Oil. Worth the hype?

Argan Oil worth the hype?

Argan oil seems to be getting a lot of hype recently. There's so many shampoos, conditioners and hair masks which now have argan oil in them and I've got to admit I've never tried them. 

Oh the joy of Mondays!

Mondays aren't my favorite day ever so on Monday nights I find it one of the best nights to have a long bath and relax. Long relaxing baths used to be what I would spend my Sunday evenings doing but I find after getting through Monday mornings I deserve one!

I have many products that I love to use for my spa like bath.

Christmas gift idea's - The Body Shop

I'm a self confessed Body Shop lover. I can never say no to a body shop body butter.

Favourite Winter Nail Polish (so far)

These two revlon nail polish have barely been off my nails the last month. I absolutely love revlon nail polishes. They are always quite runny but very pigmented meaning they're easy to apply.
