BEAUTY : REVIEW LEE STAFFORD COCO LOCO RANGE


Lee Stafford Coco Loco Range available now at Boots


I have to say i'm a huge Lee Stafford fan, I use the Bleach Blondes range as it's the best at keeping those brassy tones away! I have bleached the ends of my hair so I used to struggle to keep those brassy tones away but not since I started using the Bleach Blondes range, I love the whole bleach blondes collection, the Hot Shotz and correcting conditioning spray are must haves if you find those brassy tones make a come back! Anyway this review is about the Coco Loco range, you can check out my reviews of the Bleach Blondes range here

I found my hair had gone quite dry and damaged, I knew I needed to get some hydration into my hair. The Coco Loco range by Lee Stafford contains Coconut Oil which is a natural nutrient and provides the essential proteins for nourishing and repairing damaged hair. So i've been giving the range a try and I have to say my hair is feeling so so much better. 

I love the Shampoo and Conditioner they are so easy to use and smell amazing! I absolutely love Coconut scented products. My hair feels really lovely and clean when I use the shampoo, I tend to rinse and repeat with the shampoo to make sure I get all the dry shampoo and other products out my hair. Then I follow with the conditioner which is really lovely and hydrating.

The Coconut mask is lovely, I like to jump into a hot lush bath with candles and wack a load of this on my hair and just lie there for ages letting the mask get to work on my hair. I only really put it on my ends as this is where my hair is dry and damaged. My hair always feels really soft and shiny after i've used the mask. 

The Coconut Spritz is a nice product to use, you can apply it onto towel dried hair to condition and detangle hair which I think works really well. It makes my hair shiny and and smooth and stops it drying so frizzy. You can also spritz this into the hair throughout the day to refresh your hair. 

The Blow and Go genius lotion improves your hair in every way possible, your hair will be softer, shinier, sleeker, smoother, stronger and conditioned. You just apply to towel dried hair and style as normal. It makes your hair so much easier to style and locks in that moisture so your hair looks smoother and stronger for longer. 

Finally the Coconut Balm, this is just like Coconut Oil, it's a solid product that melts in your hand and you can apply it to the ends of your hair to keep your hair protected and smooth. 

The whole range is amazing, if your hair is feeling dull and damaged you need to get your hands on some of these products. Selected Lee Stafford products are on 2 for £10 right now at Boots so take advantage of an amazing offer and give the range ago! They are really afforable products and leave your hair feeling like you've been to the salon.

REVIEW: SLEEK OH SO SPECIAL PALETTE

 SLEEK OH SO SPECIAL PALETTE -£7.99

I finally bought a Sleek eyeshadow palette! I've had my eye on one for awhile, I had a voucher and decided to buy one. I picked the oh so special palette because of its gorgeous pink shades. 

I love the shimmery shades in the palette they really remind me of some of the shades in my Naked 3 palette. I wasn't sure what the quality of the shadows were going to be like, I know alot of bloggers use their palettes and rave about them and now I know why!!! 
The pigments of the shadows are amazing, you only need a small amount and its easy to build up. I find it easy to create a smokey-eye using the darker shades. 
I've been using my Real Techniques shading brush and the Crown Brush I got from the FabbEvents goody bag (which I loveee)

This palette is really good, it's amazing for £7.99. The eyeshadows are such good quality and last all day. The colours are lovely, Organza is my favourite omg it's sooo pretty! 

There's a mixture of matte and shimmer shades so it's a great palette to have in your make up bag, it's a good size aswell, not too big. It fits perfectly in my make up bag and is perfect to bring back and forth to Clints house. 





REVIEW: NARS Gina

NARS Gina Blush RRP:£21 


'The ultimate authority in blush, NARS offers the industry's most iconic shades for cheeks. Natural, healthy-looking color that immediately enlivens the complexion. A light application of even the highest-intensity hues delivers a natural-looking flush.
* Silky texture in matte and shimmering shades * Micronized powder ensures soft, blendable application* Iconic NARS shades'


I Bought this on www.beautybecca.com's blog sale for £8 it's only been used a couple of times. I really wanted to try out a Nars Blush but £21 is a bit much however now I think I will invest in a few. This is a orange/ peach shade which isn't normally something I would go for as I normally wear very bright pink shades. This is abit more natural which is lovely on my skin however I keep applying too much which makes me look abit fake tanned but when I only put a nice thin layer on it looks really nice. I would like to buy some of the pink shades and especially Orgasm :) I love the simplistic matte packaging and if you read my previous reviews you will know I really am a sucker for Simple packaging. I just love this. I apply it with my ELF blush contour brush which applies this really well. 

Have you tried any NARS blushes and what pink ones would you recommend?

  

Review : Sleek Brow Kit




http://www.sleekmakeup.com/
Sleek Brow Kit : Light 817 £8.50 

This is the first thing from Sleek that I've ever tried - It's also the first brow kit I've tried! I picked this up from the clothes show. I like to get my eyebrows threaded and I keep on top of them with the tweezers but i've never been one for using eyebrow pencils or other products. I really wanted to try the HD brows palette but have never got round to buying it. Anyway at the clothes show on friday Gemma told me about this and I bought it because I really wanted to try a brow kit. First of all the packaging !!! I love matte black make up packaging! Read any of my MAC reviews I always mention black matte packaging :) so this was a yay for me. I really love how you get the brushes and the mini tweezers making this an essential in your make up bag. I got my eyebrows done at the Clothes Show - They use the powder and the stencils and I really can't believe how much better they look because I do have really light eyebrows. My eyebrow lady is always trying to make me get them tinted but now I have this kit I really don't think its nessecary. I'll take some pictures of my brows before and after :) 
It lasts all day which is really good because you don't want your eyebrows wearing away. Overall I'm so happy I bought this and Thank you Gemma because your gorgeous brows made me want to do something with mine :) 

If you have a Brow kit and don't know what to do or you might buy this one but think it looks difficult this kit gives you a couple of easy tips and steps. 

1. Use the pigmented wax to define and shape the brow using the angled brush - this just keeps the hairs in place and makes the powder stick easier 
2. Use the blending brush to set the brow with powder
3. Use the tweezers to do any tidying up.
