No7 Pop and Glow

I have been intrigued by these products since the word go, and I knew it was only a matter of time that I would find myself at the boots counter. In fact I ended up in town at 3 o'clock on a sunday afternoon to get these. There was a Radiance Highligher, bronzer and four blushers. I decided to get the highlighter and the new blusher shade watermelon. Mainly because there was a buy one get one half price on which I quite liked the look of.  So the blusher... I love the shade, its a lovely raspberry colour, and is easy to apply, its very bright so only a small amount is needed, I use my fingers to blend it in or a duo fibre brush.  I love the packaging, as its kind of like a large lipstick and i find its far more interesting than a normal blusher pallet. The last- ability of this is extremely good and I enjoy wearing it. I think although this is really bright it does blend into a  natural look.  The Radiance Highligher, now at first I wasn't to sure, it lo

Mac Fluidline Brow Gelcreme

Ive been after a Brow Gel Creme for a while. Sadly Illamasqua only has one shade which I think may be too dark for me. As much as I want an Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade product, it seems like hassle and I can't view the product in the flesh etc. So I landed in Mac... by the brow products.

Like I love it. More than cake and sweets. It stays put all day and really easy to apply. Even if you are new to making your brows look as big and defined as possible I would say its great for newbies. I used a fine angled brush, and a thicker one to blend the product out. But that is just my personal preference. Its build-able so if you want to create ombre brows and a more defined arch its up to the job. A little of this product goes a long way though which is always a bonus.

Since the fashion of Dip dye and Ombre hair first came about, my hair was far to short to pull it off and if I'm honest I still think its a little on the short side to bask in the glory of Ombre locks. However I really wanted to give the ombre look ago before it was uncool. So here I am. Now I asked the world of twitter for their advice, some people came back to me with the Loreal Wild Ombre kits, while others came back that a simple highlighting kit would do the trick. While this twitter chat was happening, a hair mask ( named the reincarnation mask) by Bleach London  came up which I was intrigued to try...so off to boots I went. I intended to buy the hair mask and some sort of highlighting kit. I got to the Bleach London stand, I found the mask and was about to go on my merry way when I saw they did the dip dye kit. I had a feeling that because they seemed in the know with all the pastel colours they had on show that this product would be the best bet, and while i hovered
