LAURA WHITMORE HANDY D.I.Y FOR HER HAIR


Don't you love a good hair D.I.Y!!Well our very own Laura Whitmore did that while attending Coachella this year. The MTV presenter decided to turn to a shade of red lippy to give her the dip-dye effect to her luscious blonde locks.


"D.I.Y hair!!!The things you can do with red lippy". If you are worry how it'll affect your hair don't panic cos here it is. If your hair is in good condition it should wash out pretty easily. Just make sure to use a good deep cleansing shampoo,and apply it to dry hair first to really cut through that lipstick.

HOW MUCH ARE THEY BEEN PAID TO SIT FRONT ROW


Their was me thinking that these famous faces turned up to sit front row at these fashion shows because they we're all simply invited (naive me). Apparently faces such as Rihanna gets a whopping $100,000,while Beyonce and the Olsen twins get $80,000. Chloe Sevigny will happily sit front row for $70,000 because it gives the shows extra media attention. Nice!


Sometimes though its not all about the money as Lily Allen agreed to attend an Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris in return for a shopping spree at one of their stores where she could literally help herself to whatever she wanted. She reportedly left with almost $10,000 worth of clothes and handbags. Fashion brands also have a 'PR seeding list', which is usually about 100 celebrities who will be sent free products in hope they'll wear or use it in public. If the celebs is spotted wearing the item the PR people consider it a win. What do you think guys!?! Personally it's all business at the end of the day.

MOLLIE KING BEAUTY SECRETS


She is best known for being a member of the girl group The Saturdays but this blonde bombshell has now added a clothing range for Oasis and she the ambassador for the second time with Maybelline. That's a well impressive list. I just stuck up a picture of Mollie wearing the latest colour trend from Essie on the Facebook page and that is one of her secrets. This made me go an have a sneaky peek look at what the singer other beauty secrets are you'll be surprised.


I love wearing girly nail colours and Essie are my favourite. Every time i do my nails myself it's a disaster but i feel naked if they're not painted. So if I'm doing it on my own i always use a neutral shade so that the mistakes are less obvious. I swear by Essie.

The singer is obsessed with her Babyliss Curl Secret hair tongs,also big hair is her secret for looking instantly glam,simply flip your head upside down,backcomb it,then apply plenty of Elnett hairspray.Easy.she added. What are the shampoo and conditioner products The Saturday singer uses is L'Oreal Paris Elvive Colour Protect Caring.

She love to wear a bright lipstick and leave everything else quite simple. I always go for bright pinks and orange-toned reds-I find warmer reds look more youthful than darker,deeper shades. The singer loves her Fuchsia Flash from Mollie Maybelline Edition.

Mollie tries not to worry about getting older I have body hang-ups just like every girl and i use anti-ageing products to ward off the inevitable as much as i can but i don't allow myself to obsess over it.

When putting on foundation Mollie has to blow her nose something you didn't know.

Flawless skin the singer uses Maybelline NY Better Skin foundation helps boost radiance and keeps her skin looking clear. She also tries to drink as much water as possible and always removes her make-up at night. Also,exercise is great for your skin.


Mollie uses a lot of the Maybelline range Great Lash mascara,Brow Drama (which i recently bought),Baby Lips. I definitely have most of these items in my make-up bag. What about you!!

She added "She has a great way of mixing fashion and streetwear and has a big love for the brand, and it was obvious that we needed to work with her.

NEW LAUNCH ON NO.7 SERUMS


Beauties there was a big launch on Wednesday morning in work. I'm hoping by now everyone knows what it is but if not here goes :). Can you believe it's 7 years since No.7 Protect and Perfect serum launched in our stores. Feels like years to me when i first seen that going on the shelves of our No.7 stands. Since Wednesday morning the next generation serums arrived in the store. The new, even more powerful formula's are clinically proven to be even more effective at reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. A big whopping 80 % saw their best anti-ageing results ever.


What is it I'm talking about!! Its only the new Advanced Protect and Perfect Serum and Advanced Protect and Perfect Intense Serum. I've a couple of testers along with leaflets on my side of the store which is the healthcare counters an with what I've put on the back of my hand i can say it glides smoothly over the skin and doesn't have that really thick and rough feeling that your putting onto your skin. If you get overwhelmed by seen these two products. Here is a break down on them :

Advanced Protect and Perfect is for 25 to 35 age group an it comes in at 30.50
Advanced Protect and Perfect Intense is for 35 to 45 age group an it comes in at 33.00 

If your lucky enough to have been shopping in Boots an got your hands on a No.7 voucher why not use it ;). As one side of the voucher can take 6.50 off of the skincare range while the other side will take 4.00 off of the make-up range. If you want that Ta Dah feeling why not skip to your nearest Boots store and pick up your tube of Advanced  Protect and Perfect Serums. Happy Friday Beauties :)))

The products are good for Dry Skin,Acne,Redness and Baby. For the hair Moisture,Dandruff and its Sulfate Free. Now i can throw this into the conversation I'm having with the customer.

MY SUNDAY MAKE-UP LOOK


What else do you do on a Bank Holiday Sunday but paint the face with the latest make-up offerings i bought. I picked up these during the week from work because if you didn't already know i work in Boots and the great offer at the moment is.......all across the make-up range its 3 for 2,nice right! What did i add to my mountain that i already have of beauty products!!


Well the three items are the Big Eyes Liner Pencil which is great cause one half of the pencil is white while the other half is the black part. Then the Sculpting Brow drama Mascara both from the Maybelline collection. Third item i picked up was a Seventeen product. Its the WOW 3 way highlighter from there collection. You should also know i love getting products at a much more reasonable price but now and again i do like to spoil myself. While doing the 3 for 2 it's always the cheaper item of product your getting free.


Guys i will be doing a foundation review at a later date. For a week over a period of time I'm going to wear a foundation to see which one gives you the best coverage. One of those foundations is next on my list and it's my Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. From the picture above i mixed my Rimmel Stay Matte with my WOW 3 way highlighter by using my Ecotools foundation brush. I'm a big fan of using the brush i just find you get a better coverage of your foundation. Next was my eyeshadow i just went with one colour from my Frontcover palette Blanc de Blanc but if you wanna see the finished result just head to the Twitter page :)). I was going for a more natural look but you can really see the white eyeliner opens up your eyes and it'll be good for the summer months :).



DIY TO HELP YOU GET THE BEACHY WAVE LOOK


Here is a few helpful DIY idea's for you to get that beachy wave look. This is a great Spring/Summer look that can easily be done within minutes for you and your mane. To me though its a real summer look and gets you real excited as you know summer is nearing.This beachy hairstyle was added to my top 5 hair looks. Between homemade sprays and simply just using your hair tongs i decided to do a top 5 on this. Enjoy guys :))

Sea Salt Spray: This is the key product for you to use for that beachy wave look. Its a spray containing sea salt whether you make up your own homemade spritz or buy one in your local shop. This is what you need to keep your beachy waves in place. I came across this homemade one on Pinterest last night and it seems to be the most popular of the homemade spritz.


Tongs or Pearl curling wand: I'm sure everyone has one of these at home! I do the poor thing never gets a look in but maybe now after letting my hair grow and getting it back to full health again. I also have a bit of length to my hair now that i can start using it again. The key is you don't want prefect curls,so use a brush or run your fingers through to separate the hair as the picture shows below.


Maybe not the tongs but your hair straighter: I came across this one on xo Christine Marie blog. She separate the hair into plaits an then runs the hair straighter along each plait for a few minutes you need to do this with each plait. She takes out each plait an then finishes off with a sea salt spray. Check out her blog for full detail on getting this texture down to a tee.


Beachy waves with no heat: This looks like a really good one as no heat is involved for getting the beachy look. This is a overnight one though found this on Pretty Gossip blog. There is a bit of detail in it, check out the website. Might give this one a bash.


Braids: This one is simply braid wet or damp hair
Blow dry braid until 3/4 dry 
Undo braid
Scrunch with gel to hold 
Your Done 


Hope it was helpful!!Enjoy the rest of your weekend :))
