Which White is whitest?

Okay so if your anything like me you ALWAYS opt for the most pale shade available. and that can be hard if you like me and your face is sooo much white than your hand or wrists. so you cant test to see if they are right!!!!

I tested some of my personal favs and some that have been a real disappointment for me as shown below. I gave my 1st, 2nd and 3rd for not only was the whitest, but. for what gave good coverage, what was easy to spread, and the least oiliest. And of course what I wear the most everyday


For this test I placed a small blob of the foundation and smeared it with a brush as far as I could go.

As you can see some aren't even that white!!!!! grrrrr this wasn't on purpose !!! some bottles say ivory or some bottles (the Calvin Klein) aren't even the right match

Makeup organizing for under $30 !!!!!!

Okay so before I start,I know I dont own a crap load of makeup like all those AMAZING beauty gurus out there, but from Kmart I got this AMAZING SHELF FOR $30!!!

I hate cleaning and organizing more than the average person but I had a great time making this up and all sorts. 

ALSO for $50 extra you can get the matching mirror that is all made up, is free standing and you can look at your whole body in one glimpse!!!! Hehe I asked santa for that :)

I also used  under $6 to get the stripey cupcake holders (a pack of 50) and the dotty holder things (8 in a pack but mine came with nine churrrr)

P.S this looks way better in real life, from this angle it looks messy, but hey I never said I was good at photography xo

Say No to Knots!!!! PROTECT YOUR HAIR

Ladies and Gents with long hair will agree with me when I say "I HATE KNOTS"
The key problem is that the longer the hair, the more knots, but I'm just not ready to cut my locks off :(


And Just when you think that the knots are gone, ONE STEP OUTSIDE IN TO THE WELLINGTON WIND, and its back to the start. :'(

these tips are honestly this can be hair saving !!!


"best solution: brush ur hair. Others r:Don't you hate it when your hair becomes so tangled up that your hair ends up looking like a big mess? We all have our own experiences when it comes to hair tangles and they are not really pretty memories that we would want to cherish or reminisce. 

The good thing is that there are proven techniques on how to stop your hair from tangling into a complicated maze of hair strands and how to deal with it if in case it happens. 

1. Use a volumizing shampoo if your hair is fine or thin. Usually fine and thin hair are prone to tangling and by using shampoos that add volume and movement to thin strands, you can minimize the chances of encountering tangles with your hair. 

2. Rinse with cold or cool water. Cold water helps close the cuticle, which not only adds radiance to the hair but also prevent many forms of hair tangles. 

3. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel. After taking a bath, people usually dry their hair by rubbing with towel. But this can only cause more tangling. The better way to dry your hair is to blot it gently with a towel. 

4. Use a detangling spray or conditioning product that will help reduce hair tangles. It can be in a form of leave on conditioner that you can apply on the area where most tangles occur. 

5. Do not use a brush on hair that is already tangled. Remove the tangles first by gently pulling the strands with your fingers or a wide tooted comb. 

6. Make a habit of combing your hair from the bottom upwards. 

7. Do not allow your hair to fly freely in the wind unless you want to have a hair full of tangles afterwards. 

8. Never wet your hair when it is already tangled because this will only worsen the situation. Instead, spritz the tangle with a shine serum spray and then massage the knotted area with the palms of your hands. This will help loosen up the tangled area. Untangle with your fingers or a wide toothed comb afterwards. 

9. Use high quality hair irons. Hair irons like Corioliss straighteners are great for giving your hair a straightened look that is free from frizz and fly-aways. Hair that is smooth and sleek is less prone to tangles. 

It is always smart to opt to buy high quality hair irons such as Corioliss straighteners because these are equipped with a negative ion technology that produces radiant and beautiful hair without the fuss. 

10. Untangle your knotted hair immediately. Do not wait until tomorrow or next week until you do something about the tangles in your head. "

Yes I know that is ALOT steps but you do have to brush your hair everyday, if your like me and this can make a hugggge difference!

Contouring- the face lift without surgery.

Okay shhhhhh dont tell anyone,
I stole this pic from my friends book from when see was doing a full on makeup course.
Hehehe just kidding she know I took it, THANKS PHOEBE CATE <3

This contouring is the FAMOUS one I was explained to by her, I cant read the name but apparently this is a very old pic by some famous guy. (I will have to get back to you guys on who it is soz)

But I tried this and it is amazing!!!!!

The white I use with a $4 jordana eyeliner and the Bronzer I used the Loreal Glam Bronze (Wild Instinct)
and then I blended with popular Jessup brushes that were like $10 for four, (but before that any brush I could find worked alright)

You can google "Contouring before and after" for the most amazing non surgical results!!!!

Ps sorry if the pics arent all that good for reading, Im a bit shaky with the hands.

30 quick tips- starting with the basics :)

Its just hit 4am and im far to excited to sleep...

So instead here is 30 quick tips to looking gooooooood.

these are my personal favs, and click on the link below for the rest of them.

Let me know what yours is or if you want to elaborate on one please do x

Add Oomph To Cheekbones
To make your cheekbones appear higher and to give them more structure, apply bronzer directly under the cheekbone. You can also add highlighter to the cheekbone itself (under a thin layer of blush).

Create Fuller Lips
If you're sick of having thin, pursed puckers, extend your lip line using a neutral-toned lip liner. Then apply lipstick over top. Be careful though -- don't extend your lip line too much.

Nix Flaky Mascara
One of the main reasons mascara will flake onto your face after you apply it is because it's old. Opt for a new container and always remember to keep your mascara tube tightly sealed.

Dry Out Pimples

Believe it or not, dabbing toothpaste onto a pimple is a quick and easy way to dry it out.

Don't Believe Beauty Labels
Some beauty labels actually display false information, so don't believe everything you read. If a product promises instant results or all-day protection, it may be too good to be true.
