Home remedy- pure coconut oil - skin, hair, lips

Pure coconut oil -  home remedy

I love pure coconut oil, it has so many uses, its cheap and it's great for you!

I use it in food and my tea as its flavourless, in the bath, as a moisturiser, as a lip balm, hair mask, nail cuticle moisturiser, the possibilities are really endless!

I purchased this brand, this one was only about £3.00!

It makes your skin, lips and hair soft and it isn't full of chemicals! it's also really easy to get hold of and it last's forever, okay I'm exaggerating, maybe not forever but a really long time! The coconut oil just melts in your hand so its really easy to apply.

My tips

 If you've got a lipstick thats matte or doesn't go on easy just add a little bit of coconut oil to a small container and mix it together, it will go on great and won't show up them dry patches, it will also moisturise at the same time, win win!

You can add your blusher powder to a bit of the coconut oil and make a liquid blusher out of it!

give it a try, you'll love it!

HeadKandy Human Hair clip in extension review

HeadKandy Clip In Human Hair Extension Review

I bought a pair of clip in human hair extensions from HeadKandy about a year and a bit ago for around about the £95 mark. They get delivered to your door. They come in this box or so they did a while ago.

What are HeadKandy human hair extensions?

They're basically human hair extensions that you clip into your own hair, you can wash, cut and style your hair extensions like your own hair. You can get a full head, half or single strip pieces. The sizes are 12-14, 16-18, 20-22, 24-26 inches, If you want to get thicker hair but the same length I would just get your length but half a head, if you want longer hair, get a full head and what ever length you want. If you want different shades get single pieces of the same length of your hair.

What I got and my review

I got the human hair full head in 20-22 inches in Soho black. Here they are clipped in and curled in my hair.

HeadKandy Hair Extensions curled 20-22 inches

The good

The human hair extensions are really thick and are numbered so you can clip them in properly to make them look natural. I got the full head and I had more than enough, infact I had too much hair, I didn't even have enough room on my head to clip them all in!! They curl, straighten or style fine, and they wash good. They have lasted  me over a year now and there still thick, but I am in need of a new pair. If you pick the wrong shade/length it doesn't matter as you can send them back as they have 1 piece clip in they send with your order for you to try and  if you don't like them you just don't open the main packaging and send them back! They also do a thing where you send a picture of you/your hair and they will pick a colour for you!

The bad

They smell bad, they have a weird kind of smell to them, especially after you have used heat on them, You could use a hair scent spray on them I suppose. When your curling them they let of a burning scent but I did buy mine a while ago so they may not smell like that anymore.

Should you buy them

If you haven't already found a extension company you love and want to try a reliable company that supplies good quality thick human hair extensions I would suggest you buy them from here!

Heres where you need to go to grab a pair!

My favourite foundation - clinique supermoisture foundation review

My favourite foundation- Clinique supermoisture foundation

I've been using this foundation now for about 1 and a half years and I wouldn't and haven't used anything else and here is why I love it.

This foundation  goes on any skin, dry, normal or oily, so it's the foundation I use throughout the whole year! Summer for when my skins oily, winter for when my skins dry. It doesn't show up your dry patches at all.

This foundation doesn't break you out or dry your skin out, so its a win win ;).

Its build able and gives really good coverage but if you want more of a tinted moisturiser kinda look you can just do one layer, I like full coverage so I'll use about 2 pea size squirts for my whole face. It blends really easy and takes about 3/4 minutes to set, so in that time you can get your blusher and highlighters all done.

It lasts about 5 hours before I start to touch it up to get that dewy look back, I know 5 hours doesn't sound that long but I think it's reasonable.

And lastly that bottle holds more in it than you think, mine usually lasts me about 3/4 months and I use alot! It cost's around £21.50 but it's definitely worth it.

Benefit- that gal face primer review

Benefit - that gal primer review

I recently bought this product and I LOVE IT! when you put it on your face you don't really see a difference but when you apply your foundation you can see it has evened out your skin, it also makes applying the foundation easier and  it gives you a glow, its also gives you that dewy look, which I adore! I have worn it all day and my make up hasn't budged!

My tips

I bought the tester/ travel size of this just to test it out too see if I liked it. You should also give it ago! I really like it and you don't have to buy the full bottle so if you don't love it you have only wasted a couple of quid!

(Benefit that gal travel size 7ml)

This is the on I bought but i'll be purchasing the big one!

Hair review - John Frieda sheer blonde go blonder spray

Review of  John Frieda go blonder spray - Does it really work?

It most certainly does, thats how I got all the different shades of blonde in my hair below, I admit I did go through about 2 bottles of it and a few hair dyes but it did give me all the different shades that I wanted that I couldn't get with hair dye! My hair is quite naturally dark though and when I tried lightning it it was black!

If you have light brown or blonde hair and want to go lighter gradually this product is the one you want. It  will also give you highlights, you just spray it on and hair straighten over it, you can also just spray it on and go outside but you get a better effect by hair straightening it. An added bonus is that it doesn't smell horrible.

john frieda go blonder spray after use

You can pick this product up almost anywhere and the best thing is it isn't expensive. It lasts quite long and you can just keep up with doing it everyday, it takes practically no time to do it and you see instant results.

You can also use it all over your full head.

My tips

The piece of hair you want lightening just keep spraying it on after you have straightened it. re - do the whole procedure again until you get to the shade you want. I did about 3 sprays on each piece and then re did the  whole thing next day.

Home remedy - 2 ingredient face mask!!

Home remedy - 2 ingredient face mask

What is it?

Its an amazing powdered milk face mask that you can make at home. It costs next to nothing and doesn't take much time to prepare or apply! It really does makes your skin smooth and soft, you honestly only need the two ingredients that are pictured below!

So.. what's the recipe? 

All you need is about 3 TBSP's of water in a small bowl and 1 1/2 TBSP of any dry milk powder.

When you have mixed them together and removed as many lumps as you can you should then be able to hold the spoon up without the liquid dripping, it should just stay put.  If it doesn't add more powder, if it's too thick add more water.

How do I Apply?

When the consistency is right or as close to what I described above start applying it with your fingers, brush or a sponge, I just my fingers or a brush. Try to avoid the eye area (ill explain why in a minute), also apply it quite thickly. You can even apply it to you lips.

It's applied..What now?

When the 'mask' is drying you will feel the skin tightening, well at least you know its doing something..yes this means its working . YAY. This part feels quite weird and of course the 'mask' does smell a little weird too, but hold out the results are worth it.

How long should I leave it on?

After it's dried you can take it of when ever you want. 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, it's totally up to you. I usually do 20 minutes.

How to get it off?

This 'mask' is more off a peel off mask and is slightly difficult to remove, especially if its around the eye area and the eye area is really sensitive so please avoid that area.

 Firstly try to peel as much off as you can with your fingers. When you can't peel any more off wash your face with warm water and a flannel or towel, by doing this you will remove the dead layer of skin on your face, revealing that new bright refreshed skin!

It's done!

After it's all over and done, apply a good moisturiser and your ready to go or start on your make-up!

My tips

I usually do this once or twice a week but you can do it as much as you like:)!

Sometimes I'll add oats, honey, sugar and all other kinda stuff to it depending on what my skins like that week or what's in the cupboards.

Aloe Vera is also great in this and is also really good for your skin.

How to get bouncy curls that last all day!

Bouncy curls

 I am going to do a short hair tutorial to show you how to get long lasting bouncy curls that I did a few weeks ago on myself! (sorry about my bad quality webcam)

Long lasting curls 

you will need:

curling Iron

Bobby pins

hair protectant&spray

and finally your hair!

Heat up your curlers, whilst your waiting spray your hair with heat protecter and brush/comb through.

Start curling an inch thick piece of hair but don't curl to the roots, just half way up the hair. After each curl spray it with hair spray/mousse and use a bobby pin too pin the curl flat on your head ( don't change the shape of the curl just push it all together)

Do your full head apart from your fringe area

Now you should have all your hair curled and holded in place by your bobby pins start to spray hair spray and shine spray, if you have it.

 leave it for as-long as possible, over night if you can.

When your ready to remove the bobby pins, remove them, brush the curls out lightly and use a comb to back comb the roots of your hair and put more hair over 1 side of your head, now your ready to go!

Banana Ben Nye powder review

Banana Ben Nye powder review

So my first post is going to be about a product I purchased recently, Banana Ben Nye powder, yes the one that Kim K swears by!

This is a powder that can be used for the forehead,nose,cheeks or full face. You can contour your face with it, apparently by doing that you will magically look amazing, or so they say.

My Review

Firstly I will admit that I don't actually like powders and never use them so purchasing this product was unusual for me. I am quite light skinned so I was hesitant about using this as other reviews say ''without a tan you could look quite yellow'', well it is called banana powder isn't it?. I have used it and I haven't got the faintest clue what the whole excitement is about... This powder is meant to be amazing for contouring but I found it to stick to the skin or foundation quite quickly, so it was impossible to blend, therefore, I tried to do more off a buffing motion with a blusher brush, I also found that it didn't seem to give me that whole brightening effect that people are raving about, it gave me more of a yellow colour, ironic ehh?! It also showed up the slightest dry patches, so if you have dry to normal skin I definitely would avoid it! Im not sure if it's just me or do other people have this problem too? Please leave a comment and tell me about your experience with this little so called magic powder!

Recommendations

If you haven't already purchased it would I give you the thumbs up? No, I think there is certainly another product out there that will be so much better!
