Avon Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil

I am a majour fan of any beauty skin oils, i love a good oil skin cleanser, treatments and have now fallen for hair treatment oils.

I do about once a week use a good full on deap hair overnight treatment but i had yet to find an oil light enough for everyday use, I have very fine hair and normal oils/serums tend to darken and weigh my hair down.

Avon have recently introduced their Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil, this is a leave in treatment oil that helps to nourish hair.

I have been addicted to this product and have literaly used this everytime i wash my hair! (Which is normaly everyday)
I find this is best to apply around two to three drops in the palms of your hands rub them together for a second and then run only through the ends of my hair while damp before styling, you can also run a small amount through the ends of styled hair to give a glossy shine and tame and flyaway ends. This oil is light weight enough for every day use as tested on my fine limp hair and says its suitable for all hair types.

Although this is a treatment and not a styling product you should still always use a suitable heat protectant before styling with any hot tools, it does however leave a nice gloss making my hair look and feel healthier.

Having had this product for only a few months now it should last ages as you realy only need a tiny amount, I just tend to slap on alot which explains me being half way through already! But still i am glad to see i have found a product i love using and at such a budget price of only £3.50! For 30ml

There isnt however a note on what percentage of argan oil is in this product but i still am a fan and will continue to use a stronger percent of moroccan oil as a leave in over night and this Avons as an every day treament.

This is sold only trough Avon and is priced at only £3.50 For 30ml this is a complete bargain!

If you wish to place an order or would like more info please contact me and i will put you in touch with an Avon rep in your area to make an order with free home delivery.

Estee Lauder delux all over Blush compact

Keeping with the Estee Lauder theme from my last post on my Estee Lauder favourite at the moment lipstick, i have also been loving this amazing blush compact! I recieved this compact in a set and i dont think you can buy it individualy sorry if im wrong but i thought i would mention it anyway as i dont think it has every left my bag since i got it!

It is ideal for carrying in your handbag as its very compact, has a good size mirror with one bronzer and three silky power blushes from Estee Lauders signature range.
The bronzer (top left in pics) is in bronze goddess shade 01 and (top right) is blush shade pink kiss 02 & (bottom left) is in shade radiant peach 75 & (bottom right) is nude rose 11.

These are all perfect for any skin tone and neither have any shimmer.
I prefer to use the bronzer as a contour shade and the nude rose just above the contour bronzer with a switch up between the more pink'ier blushes on the apples of my cheeks.
They give of great pigmentation and with the blushes you only need a small amount, so this is set to last me a while!

As i said this mainly does live in my bag for touch ups when im out rather than my every morning makeup id use, but great and handy if needed while out especialy for nights out this fits into a clutchbag great x

My favourite high end lipstick of the moment

I have so many lipsticks all stored away in my makeup collection and usualy i throw a few in my bag and switch between them, so i thought i would do a post on my 'at the moment' favourite high end lipstick i have been carrying about in my bag. (i will also do a more budget version ive been using).

So where i live in Scotland has had some good weather this past week and ive found myself reaching for brighter shades, more so its been this one is from Estee Lauder, its from there pure colour long lasting lipstick rouge range (long name.. I wanted to give you the full description) in shade no 16 - candy shimmer.

This is a bold rose pink shade with a slight touch of a glossy sheen to it (no glitter) so when applied it has a lovely finish and not in anyway matt, the colour is great for adding a pop to your lips and with the added nourishment leaves your lips looking and feeling comfortable with the added bonus of a good lasting wear and no need for gloss.
It has a great colour to it but is also very wearable for throughout the day.

I havent tried any other colours in this range so i am not sure if any more neautral shades will all be as well wearing as this one but this certainly this has a good staying power.

The packaging is stunning, it is a gold shiny tube - very classic and sheek for carrying around and an all round lovely lipstick.

Excuse my photographs as my lipstick did get a bit melted with the lovely weather weve been having so it may look a bit out of place, (i know shame on me letting it go soft!) x

Treatment and tips to prevent chapped lips

There are many things that can cause chapped lips such as exposure to dry/cold air and exposure to sunlight, these can cause dehydration making lips chapped and fragile.

There are many products and ways to help prevent lips becoming chapped, these can include applying lip balm or lipstick - something to keep the lips soft and put some hydration back in, also applying a good lip sunscreen to help protect the lips from becoming damaged in sunlight and drinking more fluids.

Some chapped lip treatments can include over-the-counter lip balms, which contain beeswax and phenol, ingredients these help moisturize the lips and soothe irritation; and Vaseline, which contains the protective ingredient petrolatum, Lip balms containing aloe vera and vitamin E may also soothe dry lips.

Avoid "flavored" lip balms, which may increase irritation by encouraging you to lick your lips, and "medicated" lip balms, which may cause allergic reactions.

One of my all time favourite lip balms
is by burst bees, i have the mango one and it is to die for! I have did a blog post on this if you want to check it out x

Favourite everyday summer perfume from Coleen Rooney

Here is a quick post of my favourite everyday go to perfume of the moment.

A few months ago now when it was coming into spring/summer and i needed a new everyday handbag perfume, im the type of girl that does go through perfume and sprays like water! I love having one with me in my handbag and topping up troughout the day, its now a habit i think that if i cant smell it then ill spray more! (i dont overdo it tho as much as it sounds) this being said i alway end up picking a cheaper everyday perfume as i do use it so much.

For the last few months now i have been loving Colleen Rooney's summer fragrance, I always loved her original one in the same design though it was a purple packaging and now the summer version is more of a light floral scent brought out funny enough for summertime.

A friend had this first and i did love it on first try so i thought i would go and purchase it anyway, i saw this in Semi Chem for something crazy like £10! And grabbed it to try as it was so cheap for such a big bottle.

It is 100ml and in a large narrow glass bottle with a light orange colouring and orange lid, plain and simple design.
I did get this for a handbag spray which it is on the larger side realy to be carrying around but i do always have big day bags and if it is to clumpy then you can buy a travelo which allows you to pump your own perfume into a small travel spray bottle (£10 travelo in semi schem
Also)

I have had this for a few months now and i am halfway through now which has lasted me a long time considering it is used a few times daily and even though it is a glass bottle it is very sturdy - this has been thrown all around my bag and is still in one piece.

The scent is very light and floraly but not at all cheap or even to sweet like some floral sprays can smell like.

This to me is a great buy for everyday and i feel would suit everyone, i always get complimented on what im wearing and when people hear what it is they cant believe what it is.

Nails of the moment

Here is my latest nails of the moment post, I am heading to Liverpool for a friends hen weekend and i did her nails with a shade called Fashionista, this is a very dark purple which at first look it does look just about black but in bright lighting it looks a nice deep purple with a slight sparkle, we decided as it was her hen weekend to make it a bit more jazzy lol so i added a thin glitter layer to the top to add some sparkle


I am a mobile nail technician (aswel as Avon rep and office worker lol)
only now specialising in a gel polish nail product called 'Artistic colour gloss' this is a thin gel type polish that is applied similarly to normal nail polish but it is cured under a uv light, so it drys instantly - no need for waiting around trying not to smudge your nails! (a god send)
Another amazing part is they last up to two weeks which is amazing for holidays or just low maintenance nail colour (more info on my website below)
I have a range of shades and french polish along with nail gems and i am building up my collection to getting more.

At the moment i have on a shade called 'Posh' which funny enough was actualy re-named after the lady herself by the owner of Artistic colour gloss as it was one of her favourites to have done!

It is a nude shade with a slight pinky undertone but very slight in certain bright lights, it is an all round neautral yet classy colour and i love this for a change when i dont have anything to go very bright or vibrant for (normal working days)
I did this manicure on Tuesday for a trip to London for two days and i also have a communion on saturday so this will last the whole week and into next for when i will change to something more 'party time' for a hen weekend the following weekend.

I will update on what i choose for the hen weekend and also i will be doing maicures on a few friends for the communion and hen party so i will take photos to update on these also.
