The Before Photos..

Here are some photos of my eyelashes before i used the L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum. They are very thin, sparse, straight and short which is quite annoying! when wearing mascara i have to curl my lashes before hand, then all of a sudden they will be straight again all of a sudden!
total fail lol

I used the Lash Serum for about 2 weeks and seen great improvement with the thickness and curl of my lashes which i was extremely pleased about :) but all of a sudden i stoped using the product and it hasn't went any further so I've recently started using it again and hope for great improvement again :) i would urge anyone with short thing or straight eyelashes to try this product out!!

Before using L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum

L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum

After reading Hele’s blog and seeing Gemma on YouTube *LINKS AT BOTTOM* got the L’Oreal Renewal Lash Serum I just had to get it! I did receive an e-mail from Boots a while back when it was first coming to boots to pre-order as it was going to be “big” but I was very sceptical of the product as it says it can lengthen your eyelashes – and mine are downright straight short sparse stubs!! So I finally found the product in Boots for £10.74. They also had a double ended mascara with the Renewal Lash Serum at the other end but went for the normal Renewal Lash Serum as it has more product!

When I got home I jumped straight onto my laptop and went onto the L’Oreal website and found no information of how to use the product (as it comes with no instructions), nothing about this product and not even a photo to even say the product is on their line so I’m disappointed with their website ATM.. I went onto the boots website to find out some information on how to use it ect. And this is what i found..

L’Oreal Renewal Lash Serum give lashes a nourishing boost every day with L’Oreal Paris’s 1st Renewal Lash Serum. An intensive formula enriched with Arginine and Centella. Lashes feel fortified and look renewed.
L’Oreal Paris Double Extension Renewal Serum Inside Mascara combines the Renewal Lash Serum inside a spectacular mascara. The new L’Oreal Paris Double Extension Renewal Serum Inside Mascara is a 2-way-mascara that gives a multiplied lash effect and up to 80% longer-looking lashes.Step 1: A serum enriched base coat with Arginine and Centella. Lashes feel fortified and nourished. Step 2: An ultra-lengthening mascara for a lash extension effect. Up to 80% longer-looking lashes.Spectacular lashes!

HOW TO USE:

1. Use rounded tip to treat lash line

2. Sweep the curved brush from lash root to tip.

By day, apply under mascara.

By night, remove mascara and apply to bare lashes.

I also found an article from Vogue about the products also:

The serum is to be applied in the morning and at night for one month for best results.
To optimize the serum's effectiveness, L’Oreal is also offering a two-step mascara. The first coat is a white base containing the lash-renewing serum, while the second coat applied is Double Extension mascara in black.

I bought this product at the end of September, Boots has a promotion on buy 2 get 1 free on different brands including L’Oreal and Revlon so stock up as its £10/£11 per item :) Unfortunately I only had £10 on me so I didn’t grab at the offer! haa

Hebrew Tattoos

I was thinking about getting two tattoos for Christmas. I really love the quote of Victoria Beckhams Hebrew tattoo down her spine and was thinking on getting my name on the side of my wrist, sounds confussing so heres a little photo >>.. Ill add a few photos of V.B. tattoo and another one I like the placing better! the first photo translates to "more like me instead of what you want me to be"

This is the translation of what I have found, if you can read Hebrew please tell me if its correct, thanks.
Do you like the ideas? Which way do you like my name best?

לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי הָרֹעֶה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּים I am my love’s and my love is mine,who browses among the lilies.

Hair Dye Tips

I dyed my hair the other day [Garnier 100% color 415 Frosted Deep Brown] and just wanted to share some tips with you I have found out over the years of dyeing my hair.. if you know any others post in the comments!

· If you have never dyed your hair before I would suggest using a semi-permanent dye first, it washes out after 6-12 washes and their won’t be a massive colour block from the dyed hair to your natural roots.
· Before Applying the dye put on an old T-shirt or something that zips/buttons up/or even an old dressing gown as you might spill dye on it and when you’re taking it off to was the dye out.
· Have old towels to hand after you was the dye out, you might still get colour payoff so best use old towels.
· Use Vaseline or moisturiser around face ears so you don’t dye your face ect.
· Apply dye to UNWASHED hair, the oils will help the dye adhere and protect your head from the dye.
· Use a shower cap/plastic bag over your hair while the dye is developing, it will trap heat and make the colour payoff happen quicker.
· Shampoo with cold/luke-warm water (it doesn’t have to be ice cold) as hot water fades colour quicker.
· Apply a deep-conditioning treatment or hydrating mask once a week to help keep your hair conditioned.
· Use UV protecting shampoo/conditioner if you’re out in the sun a lot to protect your hair from the UV light and sun damage to your hair, the sun can lighten/fade your dye.

Out with the old, in the the new!!

Yesterday night I was just sitting on my laptop bored, so I thought I would do something productive...and sort out my makeup collection. I put every single piece of make-up I own into piles face, eyes and lips onto my bed. In the face pile were all my foundations, blushers, bronzers and powders, in the eyes pile were my eye shadows eye liners and mascaras and in the lips pile were all my lipsticks lip-gloss and lip pencils. OCD started to kick in right?.. well that was just the beginning!After I put all my products into the piles as above I went through each pile and binned ¾ of my products away just because a) I don’t like the colour or feel of the product or it breaks me out b) I say I will use them but don’t and c) I have had them for ages..So now my makeup collection consist of 3 small makeup bags, 1 of face, eyes and lips!

Next on my OCD list was to write out every single piece of make-up – yes I said it, EVERY SINGLE PEICE into an Office Excel Sheet. As all of my products will be going into it, it’s set up like this, hers an example of Revlon ColourStay foundation.

Type - FaceProduct - FoundationName - Revlon ColourStay Foundation [combination/oily]Brand - RevlonColour Name - Buff Colour - LightFinish - MatteNumber - 150

After I finished all my face and eye products I did give up on the lips and I’m just about to start them after this blog, then I will clean everything after that as well! Hopefully my collection should start looking up now it’s all clean and the products will look used as I use everything in my collection now – and should start to built it up again as Christmas is coming up!

Do i need to add anything to my Excel Sheet? Should i post it up? Or maby not lol
