Hair Dilema?!

Hello!

I've just been reading zoella's blog post about her ombre hair and it has reminded how much I would love to have hair like that. I'm getting a little bored of my hair so I thought it would be a great way to change my hair a bit unfortunately I have blonde hair and I'm to scared to dye it brown then ombre it.

I have had my hair dip dyed pink before so I will insert a picture of that below so you can how that looked and also I have very straight hair and I love curls again something like zoe's hair. (I love zoe's hair if you haven't guessed already) So I was considering a perm not a tight perm just a loose perm I will also insert pictures below.

If you don't know what ombre is this is a picture of zoe's ombre hair.

Picture from http://schoee.blogspot.co.uk

So this is my dilemma do I- 

♥ Ombre my hair and just have it an even more lighter blonde?

♥  Reverse Ombre?
♥  Perm with Ombre?

♥ Perm with Reverse Ombre?

♥ Perm?

♥ Leave Hair How It Is?

My Hair Dip Dyed Pink Although in This Picture it had faded and maybe a perm like this?

 Reverse Ombre

Love Emily xx

What should I do? Have any of you had Ombre hair or Perms? What is your experience?♥

Review: EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm

Hello!

I got a request to do a review on the EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balms so thats what I'm going to be doing today♥

 I have 3 EOS Spheres Sweet Mint, Lemon Drop and Summer Fruit

Sweet Mint | Lemon Drop | Summer Fruit


I got all mine while I was on holiday Sweet Mint and Summer Fruit this year Lemon Drop last year, but you can now order them online worldwide. I've never ordered any online so I'm not sure what the service is like but there is probably plenty reviews about the service.



All the EOS Sphere Lip Balms come in this cute kinder egg like container and there all a different colour to represent the flavour of the Balm. (Lemon Drop is yellow i.e. Lemons, Sweet Mint is a Mint Green colour i.e. Mint and Summer Fruit is a Red i.e. Summer Fruits (Berries))

On the right you can see that Lemon Drop is a very different shape because I have had this one for a year now. I've only used Summer Fruits a couple of times so this is pretty much how they look when you get them and then eventually it turns a bit like what you see on the right. I feel like when you use them more they become much more moisturising and they give you more of a shine on the lips when you first apply them compared to when you first get them.

None of the EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balms are tinted which some people may prefer but I guess it would be nice if they have maybe had one or two that were tinted.

Overall I'm a big fan of the 'EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balms' and I will definitely be repurchasing them. You can get them from the EOS website for $3.29 and they have 6 different flavours to chose from Lemon Drop, Summer Fruit, Honeysuckle Dew, Sweet Mint, Strawberry Sorbet and Medicated Tangerine. They currently ship to destinations in the US, Canada, United Kingdom/Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico but zuneta.com ships internationally although it is £5.95 for a EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm.

I hope you enjoyed this post♥

Love Emily xx

hehe I changed the them all about:) 

My July Favourites!

Hello!

Today I'm going to be talking about my July Favourites! I was debating if I should call this post my July Favourites or  My Current Favourites because I'm not exactly sure if I will be doing a Favourites Post each month because I usually like the same few products for a good 2 months or so. So I'm not promising a Favourites Post each month. 

July Favourites!

                                                              

Bed Head TIGI Superstar Shampoo & Conditioner for Thick Massive Hair

I love these! For one they smell great, personally I think the Shampoo smells like Strawberry Calpol and the Conditioner smells similar. They do what it says on the bottle it gives you gorgeous Thick Massive Hair and every time I use these my side fringe always sits perfectly afterwards. I also love the pink  packaging! I got mine from TK Maxx which always have higher end haircare for great prices but they don't always have the same things in, so really its a hit and miss but you should really check out TK Maxx because they always have some great Hair Care ranging from TIGI, Macadamia and Toni & Guy. 

Check Out Amazon For The Bed Head Superstar Range!

                         Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Great, Easy and Quick Results! I have the lotion in 2 and I actually stole this off my mum because she never used it and luckily we have the same skin type. I'm pretty lazy with my skincare as I don't often like sticking my head over the sink and washing my face because I end up soaking the whole bathroom (am I the only person that is not able to keep the water in the sink!?) So usually I will use makeup remover wipe, eye make up remover some toner and if my skins lucky moisturiser. So for me this is great and I saw results very early on, at the time my skin wasn't its nicest but after 2-3 weeks it was much better. Unfortunately I have finished the bottle but I'm 

definitely going to be buying another! - Cliniques Website!

High Beam by Benefit 

Oh my I do love this! I have the mini high beam that I got from a mini set called Full Glam Ahead! which I bought from Sephora while I was on holiday! You gotta love mini's. I do love this though it gives you a lovely glow, I like to apply this on my cheekbones and a little on the bridge of my nose, cupid bow, inner eye corner (whats that bit called again aha) and my brow bone. 

High Beam on Benefit Website - £18.50

                         

                   Collection 200 Lasting Perfection Concealer

The famous concealer and it deserves all the hype! It is an amazing Concealer. I use this for under my eyes as I have really bad dark circles. I use shade 1 - Fair. - You can get this from Boots for £4.19

O.P.I  Polish Remover

Do you ever hate when you get that cheap Nail Polish Remover that was only 99p but you have to use one cotton pad for each nail? Well not this one I know this is not a cheap 99p nail polish remover but its worth it! At the most you need 2 cotton pads soaked in the polish remover for both of your hand and your done. It leaves your nails feeling smooth and soft and when it drys it doesn't smell of horrible polish remover. You can buy this from ebay and various other sites but on BeautyBay.com it costs £6.10 for the 120ml. 

Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mist in Secret Charm

This for one smells great and its also a easy great mist just to spritz on before you leave the door. Victoria's Secret has lots of different fragrances to chose from but my favourite is Secret Charm "a bright bouquet of fresh honeysuckle captivated by soft jasmine." - Victoria's Secret Website - You can buy these from Victoria's Secret for $12, 3 for $25 or 5 for $30 

Coralista Blush By Benefit

This Coral Blush is a Gorgeous colour that I sweep onto the apples of my cheeks everyday! I do really love this blush. You can buy this for £23.50 from Benefit.

 Nivea Milk & Honey Lip balm

I apply this lip balm before I go to bed and while doing my makeup to keep my lips moisturised before I apply Lipstick (yes I have started experimenting with lipsticks) or sometimes I just wear the balm. I prefer Lip balms in a stick form rather than a pot because I feel its much easier to apply and I hate getting my fingers all lip balmy? So this is great for my I do recommend the Nivea lip balms as they are very moisturising. You can get them at most supermarkets for around £2 - £3.

Maybelline the Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara 

Another well spoken about product on blogs and youtube in America. Unfortunately you can not buy this in the UK just now but you can in the U.S (where I bought mine) This Mascara give your lashes amazing Volume and Length. I think Maybelline has the best drugstore mascara's and this is one of them. I think you can buy this in the U.S for around $7 $8 in CVS and places like that.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in 090 Sweet Tart

This is a gorgeous colour for people that want to try a bright lip but are still a bit shy because you can build it up to be bright or you can keep it nice and light. I would call this a Bright Warm Pink but there are lots of different colours to choose from. You can buy these from Boots for £7.99

I've also been enjoying listening to Wiley | Heatwave feat. Ms.D I can understand why some people may hate this song but I think its a great song to sing along with your friends and have a wee dance.

I've also been enjoying watching youtube videos of people doing beauty swaps this is when two people send packages full of products that the other may not be able to get in there country. I would love to be able to do this with someone especially someone from the U.S because a lot of there products you can't get where I live.
I hope you enjoyed reading my July Favourites and please comment below what some of your favourites are this month and anything else you would like to say I do love reading comments they are well appreciated:) 

love Emily xx
