Garnier Ultimate Blends Oil

I style my hair and hair extensions almost everyday, so I endlessly endeavor to find new ways to stop my locks from breaking off and giving up on me.

My extensions had become unmanageable, thought I would have to bin them and fork out for some new ones.

I had a free sample of this oil and made an accidental discovery that it's marvellous. My hair looks healthy, glossy, and is overall more manageable. This is now my most essential hair product. It doesn't make my hair greasy, just mends my hair issues.

Makeover Photo Shoot

Here is the beautiful Dulcie in one of my makeover photo shoots. Please visit my website for more pics :) http://emily-bannister.squarespace.com/

I wanted to create a sultry look with a light smokey eye. I used;

MAC Black Tied (light black shade)
MAC Satellite dreams (purple)
MAC Electra (silver)
Bojours 90 blanc diaphane (pearly white)

Mac Rebel is a lovely shade for the plum lipstick and Mac pretty please for a more natural look (first image)

I used the babyliss curling wand for the hair. I don't know where I would be without it now. I didn't do the curls too tight, I just used the thicker end and didn't use the heat on it for too long. I then gently brushed out the curls to create a more natural look. Hope you enjoy the makeup looks and the pics :)

Sunkissed Instant Self Tanning Mousse

After years of using St Tropez religiously I endeavored to find a cheaper alternative. This was proving difficult finding anything to compare to it, so I came to the conclusion that perhaps you get what you pay for in the world of self tanning. I came across this little gem for £3.49 and thought I may as well give it a go for the price. 

I was sooo pleased with the results that I had to share my secret. It's super easy to apply with a tanning mitt, you get instant results, no streaks and it lasted well. I also found the smell was less potent than other brands of self tanner. 

People have even been asking me if I've been on holiday. 

Here is a quick before after pic I took on my phone. It was such a lovely find I couldn't let it go to waste.
