Long time no see!
I can't wait for you girls to see what I'm gonna be posting up on here. So many of you have been begging me to showcase more of my girly, feminine side, asking me to talk about trends, favorite lippies and make up trends, OOTD's and much, much more.
So I decided to create a new blog full of all these goodies. I'm actually SO excited for you guys to see that part of me, I've been giving make up and fashion a bit of a break (and plus it's third year so I've been uber stressed) but as the Christmas season is approaching, I know it's time to get out of that awful autumn funk. This first blog post is just gonna update you on a few things I've been LOVING this season. Of course the first and most important thing I need to tell you guys about is the hairstyle I've had this Autumn.
As you guys already know I'm currently trying out hair from the lovely PreciousMane, a company I never want to ever stray from because to tell you the truth-it's the best hair I've ever sampled, all their textures are simply gorgeous. The new weave I have is straight Brazilian weave. I used 4 packets (but I left some out as it was already thick enough for the image I was going for). I wanted to achieve Lea Michele (Glee) and a cross between Cheryl Cole's side swept bangs (seen in the 'Say My Name' video). The lengths I have are two packs of 20", 16" and one pack of 10" for the fringe. As usual the packaging was beautiful and came with a weft sealant which I used on the longer lengths only. I didn't really need to use much of it as the hair really doesn't shed at all. I really wanted to change it up to match what mood I was in. As you guys know, I now make my own wigs, the first time I made it, I wanted it straight and sleek, inspired by the beautiful Miss Kelly Rowland.

The hair when I first got it was bouncy, had a soft curl to it, was quite brown towards the end, it didn't shed and it didn't have that strange processed chlorine smell to it. I put the wefts on the wig cap using bondage glue, though sometimes the glue would weaken so I will start sewing the wefts (I'd advise you do this too). The hair was stunning, so easy to straighten and curled like a dream, it went perfectly with my Ruby Woo too. Next I added more hair and made the fringe thicker in the style I mentioned up thurr ^. I am LOVING this style, I curl it with my Red Remington Curling Wand into big bouncy curls, and with my thick fringe, its perfect for the Fall Season. The hair is so awesome that the curls last up to a week! I can't wait till my next install, I'll be calling Eunice very soon, I hope you guys visit PreciousMane.

Hope you love my hurr as much as I do!
The next product I've been RAVING about to every Tom, Dick and Harry I've met, is this product from Lush called 'Let the Good Times Roll' it's part of their annual Christmas collection, in which they infuse their new products with festive ingredients such as cinnamon. The product is a face wash that I just love, I wasn't planning on buying it but as I walked in to the lovely Lush store I was just sold by the Lush guy (salesman lol) that I just had to get it. It smells, yeah-AMAZE BALLS, its like cinnamony, popcorny and all moistorisingy up on my skin and stuuffs. I secretly want to taste it, I won't lie to you. It makes my skin uber soft and my complexion is so much brighter after using it. I love that it has natural ingredients (and actual popcorn!) it uses natural preservatives such as salt and sugar, which to me-condones eating it. Anyway, this is the face wash I've been loving. Go check it out y'all!

The last product I want to tell y'all about is something I've been mentioning to you for quite some time now. Its Grow Luscious mascara from Revlon. It has these amazing nutrients in them that make your eyelashes curl and grow too. Now I was dubious as to how effective it could be, it is a mascara after all. But after a month of using it, I realised how thick and long my lashes were starting to grow, and as soon as I stopped using it (it finished. Boohoo. I'm soon to visit Superdrug for a new one). I'd highly recommend and suggest this baby for you bubs who have eyelashes that have been damaged by wear and tear (snatching off certain false eyelashes). I just want to run to Superdrug now to get a new one, I'm already craving it!
So one lovely Autumn day when I was walking back from a dinner date with a friend, I walked alongside Deichmann, I'd never been inside before and I saw Halle Berry's glowing face and I walked in with one thing in mind.
Winter high heeled boots.
I walked to the bank and LO and BE HOLD there were a pair of black suede booties, under the boot, the soles were leopard print. I mean...COME ON! :D

*Drools*
They are actually a size 4 whereas I'm a size 5. Deichmann sizes are a tad bit funny so you have to get a size below your normal UK size. These boots-yeah-are the most comfortable boots I've ever had with a stiletto heel. I can walk in them for hours. My favorite winter outfit (where I have my big curly hair and bangs) include my grey jeans, my red vintage blazer and my white asymmetrical top from Topshop.

I hope you love this look and you've enjoyed reading this crazy tale of product and hair based adventures!
Lots of Love!
