Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner!

I wonder if anyone can help me...
 
I'm trying to find a good Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner as I like to keep my hair nice and bright (kind of like how your hair looks and feels just after being coloured!!)
 
The only two brands that i have found that actually look like they're doing anything is
Umberto Giannini Colour Luxe Billionaire Blonde and Toni&Guy Cleanse Shampoo for Blonde Hair.
 
 
Umberto Giannini Colour Luxe Billionaire Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner from boots is £5.49 each however boots usually have a '2 for £8 on selected Umberto Giannini haircare'


Toni&Guy Cleanse Shampoo and Conditioner from boots for £5.99 each however boots usually have a '3 for £12 on selected Toni and Guy haircare'
 
Have you found or use a better Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner?
 
Please let me know!
 
Happy reading guys!

My Favourite Lipsticks Everrr!

I cannot go anywhere without a hint of colour on my lips and as we all know lipstick is a leading part to a girls make up! As i am very fair i tend to stick to pinks and sometimes if i'm feeling daring i go for a lovely shade of rouge! So anyway..here are my top favourite lipsticks! :))

 From left to right : Revlon Super Lustrous in Cherry Blossom, Revlon Super Lustrous in Pink In The Afternoon, No7 Moisture Drench in Waterlilly and No7 Poppy King in Glamour!
 
 
 
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick was in a 3 for 2 offer in boots and I could not resist but If you would like to buy them separately they are £7.49. I use the Cherry Blossom on nights out as it's very vibrant and stands out and i have also been using it on photoshoots for models as it looks fantastic! Pink In The Afternoon is my favourite and i use it as everyday wear from going to work to going out into town..it's just gorgeous!
 
No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick is another one of my favourites...i love No7! My makeup bag is full of their goodies as they're kind to my skin as i am very sensitive and can't have anything that contains alcohol or any other products! This lipstick is £9.50 but No7 usually have a 'Buy 1 get 2nd half price on selected No7 cosmetics'
 
And finally we get to No7 Poppy King which is simply my guilty pleasure and is £10.95 (trust me..worth every penny!) The colour i picked is Glamour. Glamour is fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it is a very cheeky colour. This shade is a great place to start if you are currently wearing too much nude or bright red - this shade is simply gorgeous
 
So there we go guys..those are my favourite lipsticks!
 
What are yours and why?

Eylure Naturalites

Good afternoon :-)

As I have recently started my Makeup Artistry course and have attended photoshoots my models have been asking me for fake eyelashes!

I have never been able to apply them on my own eyes..not to sure why not..fiddly buggers!!!

So I decided to go into boots and have a little wonder and see what eyelashes I could find! (All my friends and model friends have recommended me to use Eylure)

The Starter Kit was great for me as I had no idea about how you applied the lashes and making them last the entire day/night!

The pack includes everything you need for a perrrrrrfect lash application including a free practise lash and even a corner lash kit (which I find really lovely) :-)

Happy reading!

Boux Avenue

Hey Guys! :-)

Just thought I would tell you what I was recently treated to by my lovely other half which I'd never used before and that's Boux Avenue Clothing!

What I loved about it was that we ordered of Saturday night and it came yesterday and it came gift wrapped!
Pink wrapping paper..smelling beautiful and rose petals!
(..yes I said rose petals)

It was a gorgeous chemise that had come down from £32.00 to £12.00 - I love a good bargain!

I can most definitely say that I will be shopping here again!

Happy reading :-)

First Post Ever!

Hey guys, as this is my first post ever I will be telling you a little about myself and why i'm creating a blog :)

My name is Shelly and Makeup is my passion! I have been passionate about makeup from a very young age from stealing my mothers red lipstick and overly pink blusher to her creamy eyeshadow!

In my blog I will be showing everyone my 'how to's' and also behind the scene pictures of shoots that I have been lucky enough to attend!

I have recently had my very first photoshoot and I loved every moment of it from chatting to the models to dolling them up and seeing the final picture! (theres nothing quite like seeing the final design!)

Here are a few pictures of models that participated last weekend for me - for those of you who are interested in who the models and photographer is the Model with the long blonde hair is Francesca Costello and the Model with the brunette hair is Katherine Peaden and the Photographer is Kirsti Manning!

Thanks for reading guys!
