Hair Rehab!

Hey guys!

Sorry I didn't post last week, I've been getting busy at work now as its coming up to christmas I've been working pretty much every day.

This week I was going to do a video tutorial on my daily make up routine, I still might if I get a chance so keep an eye out :) now I had to think of something else to write about I know this is meant to a make up blog but I also want to talk about other beauty products so am changing it to a beauty/fashion blog!

I have used hair extensions for a while now, normally only when I go out but recently I have changed hair colour so didn't really want to buy more or colour my extensions so I ordered a hair piece from Lauren Pope's range at Hair Rehab London, I ordered the syn wrap ponytail in Blondette, it arrived today after ordering it friday and I am really happy with it! I was unsure what colour I would need so sent a photo to their colour match service and they emailed back with the colour I should get, the colour they recommended was perfect! 

The ponytail is easy to apply, you simply put your hair up in a pony tail,  slide the clip in, wrap the ponytail round and clip the extra bit of hair so it looks natural. The particular hair piece I got you can buy online at http://www.hairrehablondon.com I got mine for less than £30 with postage&packaging. 

I will post a better photo Sunday night on my twitter and will include in next weeks blog so you can see what it looks like properly! Hope you decide to buy something from them, I highly recommend it!

Hello Flawless!

Hey :) 

Hope you've had a good week and done some fun stuff for bonfire night. I managed to see some fireworks last night as they were cancelled Saturday due to the crap weather so I was happy as I'm a big kid when it comes to fireworks haha. 

This week I wanted to do a blog on Benefit, I absolutely love their cosmetics and have done for years thanks to my auntie! She has always used them for as long as I can remember so I've always had 'expensive taste' in make up as my mum says. However, even though Benefit may seem expensive compared to brands like Rimmel London or Maybelline the products actually last much longer in comparison. I have just run out of my foundation I got from Benefit which I bought in May and I have used it everyday, sometimes twice a day if I'm going out and I want to reapply, and the foundation I personally use now is called 'Hello Flawless'. 

Hello Flawless has an SPF in it so when its sunny it will protect your skin from getting damaged. The reason why I love this foundation so much is that it gives great coverage and you only need to apply a tiny amount which will last all day. You can also buy a Hello Flawless powder and a Stay Flawless primer so if you wear all three you are guaranteed to have your make up on all day! 
(Personally I use Porefessional, also by Benefit.)

The photo on the left is before I applied Hello Flawless, the photo on the right is after. As you can see it makes my skin look so much better, gives an even tone and even managed to hide the bags under my eyes! Its like magic in a tube 😍

The colour of my foundation is Honey (i'm so money), you can buy it online at https://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk or go into your local Boots or Debenhams where you should find a counter so if you are unsure of the colour you need someone can help you out!

Happy Halloween/Bonfire Night!

Hey Guys! 

Hope this week has been fun for you all and my tips are working! Halloween is a good time of year for make up as you can get creative, if its messy it doesn't matter and everyone gets involved! 

I was allowed to dress up for work on halloween this year so I went as a devire (devil/vampire) so I made sure my face was white, I put red face paint on my eyes with some eyeliner and mascara and I created a black/red lip stick with the face paint too. I was happy with my overall look, it was pretty quick and easy too! 

I'd love to see what you all dressed up as too and whether my tips from previous weeks have been working - tweet me @LydiaCoopster! 

Have a sparkly bonfire night too :)
