Upcoming Posts.

Hiya! 

Quick post right now, I'm quite ill at the moment. I was due to undergo surgery on Wednesday 25th July but unfortunately had to reschedule due to health issues. Basically the anaesthetist said if they put me to sleep for the operation while I had this infection I'd end up in intensive care and I really didn't want that, I mean, how can I blog if I'm in there?!

So, if there is a lack of posts with pictures or in general then I apologise massively!

ELF Competition!

So, I entered a competition ELF (Eyes Lips Face) were holding on their Facebook page giving a chance to win one of the new products from the USA! 

I was immediately intrigued by this competition because I have never got around to trying anything from ELF before so when I seen this competition I dived right in!   

I checked the page this morning to see if there was a winner announcement and I was one of the three winners! YAAAAAAAY!

I will let you guys know as soon as it arrives what my mystery product is! 

Have you got any recommendations for ELF products for me to try?

Soap and Glory: Glad Hair Day Review

Hello there Junkettes!

This is my first review! Yay! Let's get right in!

I decided to review the Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Intensive Conditioner. 

According to the Boots.com webpage, the shampoo, can give your moody mane the heave-ho. In addition to this there is a bunch of fruity fragrances with an added boost of peach! The smell is that of all Soap and Glory products which I absolutely love, however the shampoo itself isn't very good, in my opinion. The gel formula really enticed me but when lathering on the hair and scalp it just didn't perform to what I was expecting. It didn't make me feel like my hair was very clean so I used an additional shampoo on top of it. Everything about the product was cute except I really wouldn't pay the full price of £5.50. I got the sample 50ml tube which I got for £2.50. Overall the product smells nice, feels nice and looks nice but the performance isn't up to the price of the product!

Next, conditioner! Now, this is a different story. 

Again I purchased the small 50ml travel sized for £2.50 from Boots. The smell of this product is different to that of the shampoo. On the description it says that there is White Peach and Sweet Banana which I think makes it smell amazing! It is a really thick formula which is supposed to tame and manage thick and damaged hair. My hair is really thin but unbelievably frizzy and after just one use of this, I applied it generously and left it on while I exfoliated, I could see a big difference in the amount of frizz my hair had generated. My hair is naturally wavy and the conditioner helped to define the curls a lot more. 

Overall, the shampoo isn't brilliant but the conditioner is ah-mazing! 

Let me know what you think? Have you got differing opinions?

I graduated!

I have been deliberating writing this post because it isn't fashion or beauty related but I thought I'd let you have an insight into my life. 

On Monday 9th July at 14:50 I became a Graduate of a Foundation Degree in Children and Young Persons. 

These pictures just give a small glimpse into my day and hopefully show what you can achieve if you work hard and put your everything into achieving better. 

Have you graduated? How do you feel?

Today...I saw the Queen!

Hello there Junkettes! 

Today's post is a little different from my past posts. It is in no way, fashion or beauty related. However, today I saw the Queen! 

Here is where you learn something new about me! I am a massive Royalist! I know a lot of people dislike the Royal family and don't understand their place in society. I think the Royal family are awesome!

So, anyways, today the Queen was passing through Newcastle on her way to some North East visits. One main passing point was the Corner House junction on the Coast Road. I was in the area and decided to go join in with the festivities. I went to line up behind the barriers and got handed a Union Jack flag which I excitedly waved. There were lots of Primary School children and a Combined Cadet Force from a local high school. The passing of the Royal car took a little while because the previous engagement ran over the allotted time making others late. I do have a video which I will try and post at some point but still trying to figure out how to edit videos and such, so bare with me! 

This is a photo my sister took for me of Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Phillip. She was wearing a lovely peach ensemble and looked positively radiant! 

Overall for me, it was an amazing day!!! 

Sorry for this random post!
