Messy Loose Curls (DIY)

Hello, Hello my Lovely readers.

Today I have given my hair volume and bounce and thought I would share with you all how I achieved the look.

Firstly the products that I used
I washed my hair and then applied a fine mist of protein spray through out. Protein spray helps replace lost nutrients and is a must on my hair regime and that of my clients when I do their hair. I then applied a generous helping of my blow dry spray. It helps protect the hair and to add volume.

(Products available through myself)

I then rough dry my hair by turning my head upside down to add lift at the roots.

Then using my Babyliss Pro Curl Straightener

This is no longer available but you can buy the alternative from babyliss from here 

http://www.babylisssecretcurls.co.uk/babyliss-curl-pro-230-st270e-st270sde-p-21.html

I section my hair and take varying sizes and ribbon them through the Straighteners. Clamp the hair at the root and slowly pull the straighteners down whilst bending the straightens back on themselves.

By keeping the section sizes different it gives a more random curl and looks less structured

I then finished the look with a bit of hair spray and my shine spray to give the look some pop.

(Excuse the lack of make up)

As you can see it adds a very messy curl/ volume looking natural and beachy.

Thanks for reading guys x

DIY Bow Hairstyle

Hi Guys,

It has been quite some time since I last posted and in that time I have been having a think about the direction that I wanted to take this blog in.

I have come to the decision that from now on it will be for Hair and Make tutorials (As many as I can do myself and some from other contributors) and hair, beauty and fashion reviews.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and the growing fan base has been amazing.

So here is the first DIY Hair bow one, in a way that is simple enough for everyone to do.

Follow the pictures step by step.

When tying the two bits of hair together make sure you have a big enough loop but also enough left out to wrap up between the two. Secure with a couple of pins and use hairspray to define the bow and get rid of any fluffy bits

Blinc Mascara Review

Well I first heard about this mascara from a lovely Cornish Make up artist called Penny Pascoe and after hearing about how great it was from her I just had to give it a try.

I am a devout user of Bourjois Liner effect mascara and over the years I have tried many different ones and with no success. Iv not found anything even close to it.

Now Blinc mascara is more expensive and at £18.50 it not the most comfortable on the guilt scale but trust me it is worth it. The best thing though is that you do not need to take that plunge as they do the perfect trial sized mascara so that you can try before you buy at a price that wont give your accountant a heart attack.

£2.56 Trial sized with Free Postage

 

Now the idea is that instead of coating the lashes with gloppy product this mascara goes on lightly to form a tube of product around your individual lashes.

This means it is FULLY waterproof, you can cry, rub and even try removing it with make up remover with no success.

The secret is a bit of warm water. Using the warm water dip you fingers into the water and then press against your closed eye lids. Then re dip and this time squeeze the lashes between your finger, roll them a little and then lightly pull down. It will look like you are pulling your own lashes out but rest assured you are not. It is just the tubes of product coming away and leaving your lashes perfectly intact underneath.

Flying the flag for Angel Face

Ok, ok so I know that it is no big secret that I am a massive fan of Angel Face Mineral Make up and the virtues that it stands for and seeing as it has been a while since i shared a blog post with you all i thought that banging on about this amazing paraben free make up and its achievements over the last few months would be a great place to re start.

So recently Julie (co founder of AF) and I went up to London to China Town to do Hair and make up for a Chinese New years eve fashion show.

While at this event we met a catwalk choreographer who was so impressed with our work that he wanted us to attend and do hair and make up for a London fashion week show.
Sadly I had a wedding booked in that day so could not attend but Julie and another very talented hairdresser linked to Angel Face and also called Julie (Levick Cuts Hair and beauty salon) made the trip to London on the train and set about the massive task of getting the models ready to strut their stuff.
They got to do hair and make up for the international super model Harriadnie Beau Phipps.

                                                Julie Levick - Harriadnie - Julie Wieczorek

They are a make up company with a difference as they are full of drive, determination and ambition. Their customers and quality of their products are the most important thing.

The company was set up after Julie gave birth to her second son Ben. Sadly Ben was born sleeping and Julie faced one of the toughest times of her life. She ploughed herself into work and into building what today is a very successful business. Finally the 3rd member Pauline joined Angel Face. Pauline is a breast cancer survivor and set up Bosom Buddies a breast cancer charity and was supportive of the paraben free products after links between parabens and breast cancer have come to light. 10p of each item bought through Angel Face is donated to the charity.

So get in there now and support a great business, set up through a dream and powered through love and hard work and in support of an amazing charity.

Candy Tree Review

A few weeks ago I won a mini Candy Tree from Kerraz Kandi Trees.
I received my tree last weekend and I was very impressed. I even got my camera out to take a few snaps.

 

They are such a great idea and the mini/small trees are perfect as gifts for birthday or Christmas. The medium and large trees are great as a centre for a party or wedding.

There is a huge range of choice when it comes to the sweets you can have and each type gives a different look. Ferrero Rocher is available and give a great sense of elegance or for weddings maltesers or marshmallow trees look stunning.

 

My son defiantly enjoyed the jelly sweet one though :)

 

 

It was such a huge success that I have ordered two for Christmas

One mint Areo one with after eights in the bucket and one made from Elezabeth Shaw mint crisps which i think will look amazing with their gold wrappers on our table as our after dinner mints. Such a unique touch that really adds that something extra to the festive season.

 

Here is a picture of the Aero Mint tree

To say that I'm looking forward to them is an understatement.

Kerraz Kandi are also approved by Made in Cornwall

Amazing proposal

So as the weather turns and winter draws in, we prepare for the colder weather.
Chopping up wood for the fire, cooking stews and roasts instead of eating salad and pasta and preparing our hair for the lank dull winter.

The wedding season is coming to an end with only a few going on through the winter months for those brave enough to take on the weather.

So I wanted to do a little bit about my latest bride Demelza Farr.
She lives in Australia but was originally from England. Her and her now Husband came back too England to get married and more importantly they came to Cornwall. Padstow in fact.

The sun shone for there big day and there was a buzz of excitement in the air as the coffee and Champagne flowed.

But its not the day itself I want to share with you or even to do with Demelzas hair but in fact her proposal.

Both Demelza and her Husband are Marathon runners and rang the north pole marathon for Team GB.
They both placed brilliantly with Demelza being the first female finisher.
After crossing the line James sank down on to one knee and popped the question.
I can even show you a video as there were camera crews there and the clip was played in several countries on the news.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1LvUZC_S1o&feature=player_embedded

Poor Demelza was shaking in shock and confessed to us whilst we did her hair and make up that the pain in her feet was terrible and all she wanted was a nice warm meal and drink to warm her chilled bones.
But who can say romance is dead when you have spoken to the first every women to be proposed too at the north pole after running roughly 26 miles in up to minus 25 Celsius
