Cute messy boho hair!!

Hi guys!

I'm so lucky to have an awesome friend who also happens to be an amazing hairdresser. This is a quick look she did for me recently for a dinner out. Super cute and non-fussy! Sometimes I just like to have my hair up off my back, this look is perfect for those days…

My hair routine

Hey guys!

Today I just want to show you the products I use regularly on my hair. I never used to be, but when I went blonde I became very fussy over what I used in my hair because my hair was so dry and damaged from the bleach. It took me a long time, but eventually I got it to a healthy level and I've kinda stuck with the same products because they obviously seemed to work! :)

I recently went back to brown so these products are good for all colours, the only thing I did differently was use purple shampoo when I was blonde to tone down the brassiness. So heres all the products I use....

So here I have my shampoo and conditioner, hair mask, serum, heat protector, and my comb.

The shampoo and conditioner is by L'Oreal Professionals and its the absolute repair one, they also have one for breakage and one for locking in colour. Seeing as my hair is very dry and is prone to damage I always get tis one, and I've been using it for almost a year now, and I just like to use a wide tooth comb to run it all the way through my hair in the shower. It's absolutely amazing, but it isn't the cheapest. Each bottle is around $25.00.

This is a hair mask from the same brand, but its from the anti-breakage line not the absolute repair. I've only just started using this but I absolutely love it so far. I like to replace my conditioner with this once a week.

Lastly, this is my heat protector and my serum. The heat protector is probably the product  like the least of all the products I use. I definitely think I can find one much better than this but I didn't want to be wasteful. So I just spray this all over my hair before I use any hot tools. The serum is just one from a Korean store I picked up. My hair is naturally really curly so it gets frizzy, this just tames any fly aways.

And this is the end result! Molly is so cute. When I sit at my desk she wines for cuddles haha.

Hope you liked the post, comment below to let me know what you think and let me know any hair products you swear by!

Date Night: Hair and Make Up

Every Friday night my boyfriend and I have a date night. We live together so I think it's important to set aside time each week to focus on doing something fun together :) So I wanted to do a date night hair and make up blog, and this is what I did last Friday night...

This week was a more romantic feel, pink and brown eyes, soft curls and polka dots! Oh, and I died my hair a couple of weeks ago! I have been brunette most of my life but I went blonde mid last year, and now I'm back to brown. It's much less damaging to my hair.

So I'll start with my make up. I did a nice soft look, I think pink and brown are just so romantic put together so I chose those colours for the look.

I used number 1 as an all over lid cover, then used 2 and 3 combined on the outer V and smudged it out using a my MAC blending brush.

Then to darken the crease I used number 5. You can't really see the number but it's the bottom colour on the second column. This colour is a bronzy brown colour and I find using brown really brings the warmth of the pink out and stops the pink colour from making your eyes look irritated.

I also used number 4 to highlight the inner corners of my eyes. This just helps to open your eyes up and make u look fresh and awake! All the eyeshadow colours are from my Sedona Lace palette, which I got here.

I only used a bit of concealer where necessary and a pressed powder for my face, which I've been doing a lot recently to let my skin breathe a bit.

I used number 1 (MAC's bare study paint pot) as a base for my eyes to stop my eyeshadow from creasing. The I applied number 3 (MAC's eye khol in smolder) to line the lid and waterline. Lastly on the eyes, I used number 4 (Maybelline's Pulse Perfection mascara) on my lashes.

For my cheeks I used Rimmel's blush in Santa Rose (2), and on my lips I went for a soft nude pink to complement my eye colours. For lipstick I used CoverGirl's 'in the nude' (6), with my new NYX sheer gloss over the top (5).

Then for my hair I just did soft curls. When I curl my hair I like split my hair into 4 sections (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom) and curl away from my face. I used about a 1 inch barrel curler, pulled my fingers through my hair once I finished curling and lightly sprayed with hair spray. I hate the feeling of hard hair so I like to use flexible hair spray instead :)

So, that was my date night hair and make up, I hope you liked it and leave a comment on what you like to do on date night!
