Best Natural Light Blonde Vegan Hair Dye


I LOVE this hair dye! Best blonde hair dye I have used! This is my result after using this VEGAN hair dye once, if I use it again, my roots will probably go lighter and blend in better.
I should have added that it didn't have any strong chemical smells and it did not burn or irritate my skin like other hair dyes do, so this is really good if you have sensitive skin.

Why don't vegans eat honey?

Keeping bees for commercial or hobby purposes violates the bees' rights to be free of human exploitation. As with companion animals or other farmed animals, breeding, buying and selling animals violates the animals' rights to live free of human use and exploitation, and bees are commercially bred, bought and sold.
In addition to keeping bees, taking their honey is also exploitative. While beekeepers will say that they leave plenty of honey for the bees, the honey belongs to the bees.

Furthermore, some bees are killed every time the beekeeper smokes the bees out of their hive and takes their honey. These deaths are an additional reason to boycott honey; even if no bees were killed during honey collection, the exploitation of the bees would be reason enough.

Rare Super Blood Moon Total Eclipse Footage


A rare phenomenon, there have only been five supermoon eclipses since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982). After Sunday, the next supermoon eclipse will occur in 2033.

A supermoon occurs when a new or full moon is at its closest to the Earth. "Because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle, the moon is sometimes closer to the Earth than at other times during its orbit," said Noah Petro, deputy project scientist for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement. "When the moon is farthest away it’s known as apogee, and when it’s closest it’s known as perigee. On Sept. 27, we’re going to have a perigee full moon—the closest full moon of the year."
The space agency explains that, at perigee, the moon is about 31,000 miles closer to Earth than at apogee. This proximity makes the moon appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter in the sky than an apogee full moon, hence the term "supermoon."
Lunar eclipses have long been a source of fascination.

“Throughout human history, lunar eclipses have been viewed with awe and sometimes fear,” explained NASA, in a statement. “Today, we know that a total lunar eclipse happens when the full moon passes through the darkest part of Earth's shadow, the umbra.”
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/09/27/sundays-rare-supermoon-eclipse-what-need-to-know/


I used a Panasonic HC-V250 camcorder to record this and zoomed in to 40x - the camera can zoom up to 90x which is very impressive, here is my video zooming in 90x on my other youtube channel NerdyKirsty B but that on just a normal moon day lol =-D

Building Nanoblocks - Micro Sized Blocks

Lately I have been obsessed with Nano Blocks - Micro Blocks - Mini Blocks - Diamond blocks.....whatever you want to call them!!

They are cheapest on ebay but I brought mine on Amazon for nearly double the price DOH!!!

It is really fun to make, since I do mine for a video it kinda make's it a bit harder because they are so small and I am having to hold it in front of the camera but once I have finished I want to do the next one......even though my neck and back are killing me!!
I never thought I'd love it so much and being a bit sexist I guess, I thought it was just a boys hobby but even my daughter wants to build them now! I think they are aimed at 9+ years but I think as long as you remain patient and calm because the little blocks do tend to go flying across the room and the model breaks with too much pressure and the instructions are not that well designed......but it's great fun!

Here are some of the videos I have done so far! Spiderman, Super Mario, Dave the minion from Despicable Me, Superman, Batman, Iron man and HULK!! Many more to come =-D

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted hydrating Gel Cream in Ginger 06


This tinted moisturiser / foundation is perfect for summer. If you are like me and sweat like a pig in the heat and feel like your makeup is literally dripping off your face then this foundation is perfect. It doesn't feel like you are wearing any makeup and you can't see it either which is great! Also it is SPF30 so you are protecting and hydrating your skin, so it's like a 3 in 1 really.
It stayed put all day and my skin feels sooooo soft still!
With bareminerals I like to use the golden shade in R230 which is the perfect partner to this which is Ginger 06.

New CID cosmetics MASCARA i-intense High Intense Volumising Mascara


Hello!!
So I got this mascara free in the August 2015 Cosmopolitan magazine. I looked on the newcidcosmetics website and this mascara retails at £18.50. It is a good mascara but I prefer it with just one coat as it looks very natural and feathery and with 2 or 3 coats it was a bit flaky but this has lasted well all day and it hasn't smudged or flaked off so I am actually quite impressed with it but I would not pay £18.50 for it. The magazine cost me £3.80 so for that price it's brilliant lol!

Instyler Rotating Iron to Flick Hair Out





http://www.instyler.co.uk/
Flick Hair Out With the InStyler
Flicking out your hair can help you get the look of extra volume while keeping sleek, glossy locks – it’s a classic celebrity look that can give you vintage style. 

Getting the perfect flick out is easy with the InStyler. To flick out your hair, ensure the InStyler is powered on and set to the desired heat level. Gather a 5cm-7.5cm (2”-3”) section of hair. Position the cylinder side away from your scalp. Glide the InStyler down your hair from the roots toward the tips. Near the tips of the hair, turn the cylinder in toward your scalp, keeping the tips on the cylinder. Allow the cylinder to rotate for 3-5 seconds in place before you release the hair. For tighter and more defined hair flicks, hold longer. For larger hair flicks, you can start the turn sooner. Continue until desired results are achieved.
The InStyler is more than just an ordinary hair straightener or curling tong. It's a totally new styling and straightening tool that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it!

How does the InStyler work?
The secret to the InStyler lies in its rotating heated polishing cylinder, along with four rows of precision-aligned bristles. Your thermal shield, which snaps easily into place on your InStyler, protects your skin from the heat.

When you run the InStyler through your hair, the first set of bristles gently sorts and separates each individual hair strand. Then the rotating heated polishing cylinder gently glides over your hair, smoothly polishing, straightening, and styling each strand. Finally, the second set of bristles puts the finishing touch on your hair, leaving you with shiny, silky, gorgeous hair.

And because of the patented design of the InStyler, your hair won't get crushed and baked by the super-intense heat of normal hair straighteners or hair curling tongs. In fact, the InStyler uses less heat than traditional hot tools - and still manages to get better results.

That's because the gentle heat works together with the rotating motion of the polishing cylinder to polish and care for your hair strands one by one, so it doesn't need extreme heat to get hair that is shinier, bouncier and full of lift and life.

The InStyler does much more than you'd normally expect from your straighteners. You can get lift and fullness right from the root, or a sexy flick in seconds. You can straighten even the toughest, most coarse hair – and still get fullness and style without the stick-straight "flatness" of straighteners.

Lookfantastic beauty box - Womens subscription box


So I tried on most of the products from this box such as the tanworx fake tan, regenerating hair mask and NUXE shimmering gold body & hair luxury oil.

Why I Shave My Face

I have been shaving my face for at least 10 years now, before I started shaving my face I used a Nair hair removal cream to get rid of the hair but that burnt my skin and it actually bled, so I never used that again!!
Shaving makes my skin feel soooo smooth and soft!!
It's not that I have a really hairy face, every one has hair on their face and all over their body except from the palms of the hands and feet. Some people refer to it as peach fuzz, I just call it bum fluff, I don't know why.....I do not have a fluffy bum!!
Shaving would probably be my number 1 beauty tip, if I was stuck on a desert island and could only have one beauty cosmetic / tool, it would be a razor! Makeup goes on so much smoother, my skin looks brighter and healthier, all the dead skin is removed and it's much cheaper than waxing!!

Birchbox May 2015 UK

I tried on all the products in this box which I was really pleased with and wish I subscribed to Birchbox sooner!

So first I tried on the CAUDALIE  Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser in Light - Full size would cost £27 but this was a 15ml product.

It says - If there's anything we love more than skincare, it's skincare with extra benefits! This lightweight moisturiser is a true multitasker : both treating and brightening the skin whilst adding a little light coverage.
For normal skin, smooth onto clean, dry skin in place of your usual moisturiser. For dry skin, use your usual moisturiser first and then enhance with your Caudalie on top.
I have been wearing this for at least 5 hours now underneath my bareminerals ready foundation powder and my skin feels hydrated still, usually it would feel quite dry and tight, so I really like this tinted moisturiser!

Next I tried on the JELLY PONG PONG Caribbean Sun Bronzer in Martinique - Full size would cost £15.95 and this one was 3g


It says - Fake that holiday glow without stepping foot on a beach, thanks to this handy duo! The lightweight formula is infused with argan and mango butter for a naturally moisturising pop of colour.
Apply the bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks for effortless-looking contour, then add a rosy flush to the apples of your cheeks using the blush.

Then I used the PARLOR by Jeff Chastain Moisturising Sea Salt Spray which would cost £17 for the full size, this one was 30ml

It says - Salty sea air in a bottle! Sweet almond oil and vitamin-rich algae combine to add texture aplenty, while leaving your scalp nourished.
Bonus: It smells of ripe peaches and freshly cut grass.
Spread evenly onto damp or dry hair and style with your fingers for a tousled finish.

Birchbox subscribers also had a choice of receiving a WAH LONDON nail art pen, nail polish or press on nails, since I subscribed late I only had a choice of the nail art pen or press on nails so I chose the pen and received a dark blue one.


There was also a Lumiere d'Hiver Reconstructing Masque sample size of 7.5ml but the full size would cost £36.

It says - Transform your tresses from lacklustre to luscious with this moisturising treatment. Soy proteins, shea butter, sunflower seed and jojoba seed oils (phew!) leave hair smooth, strengthened and shiny.
Shampoo hair first then evenly distribute the full amount onto wet hair, from tips to scalp. Leave for 2 - 5 minutes and rinse.

And a little something extra- Everyone received colouring in pencils to colour inside (or outside!) the lines to personalise the lid of your box. Don't forget to take a snap of your handiwork and share the finished result with us at blog.birchbox.co.uk/colour and you could be in with a chance to win a really fabulous prize!

At the end I used my bareminerals ready foundation in R270 using the bareminerals full flawless brush andthe lipstick I wore was by Rimmel London lipstick in 200 "Latino"

Youtube video

















The tattoo sleeves I wore at the end of the video were only 99p on ebay and free p+p so if anyone was interested in getting some here is the link - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251581320442?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=550482353325&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I think they look so realistic and if you are thinking of getting a tattoo sleeve done then it's a cheap way to see if it will suit you....and it's good for tricking people into thinking you have had a real tattoo done =-p
