Foxy Locks hair extensions. Are they all that "Amazing?"


So, recently, after being in dire need of some hair extensions, I decided to invest in a pair of Foxy Locks! I did so much research into Foxy Locks, and there were bad reviews just as much as there were good, so of course I was a bit sceptical about whether to spend quite a bit of money on them, they weren’t atall cheap!


But after reading all the good reviews rather than all the bad ones (I did sneakily look into all the bad reviews, but I tried to stay positive with this!)

I also took to Facebook to see if anyone on my friends list had had any experience with them whatsoever and thankfully a few of my friend’s did come back to me saying that they were “the best clip-in extensions” they had ever had, and that I “wouldn’t regret buying them.” After a few more reviews read, and still a little bit sceptical, I decided to just go for it! 

I ordered them on the Saturday, and they got to my house by the Wednesday, I didn’t get to have a proper look at them when I got back cause me and my boyfriend had gotten back from Alton Towers and the drive didn’t get us back long after 12am! Nor did I see them the following day because of work! But being able to finally get to have a proper look at them I was really impressed with how silky they are! I ordered the superior set which is 215g which includes a full 10 weft set weighing 165grams and 1 'Volumizer' weft weighing 50grams alone, in the colour “Platinum Blonde” #90. I was a little bit disappointed with the colour as on the website the colour doesn’t atall look as if it has any yellow-y tones through-out the hair, but mine certainly looked as if they had! It didn’t really matter though cause all of my hair extensions I’ve ever had I’ve had to tone them, it just would have saved me time.. And shampoo!!


When I put them in I really couldn’t help but notice how blunt the ends were.. and so far the only way I’ve found out how to disguise this without cutting them is to wear them curly! I haven’t had any problems with these hair extensions yet (..touch wood!!) and I hope I don’t have any on my way, but other than that, the hair is lovely, very thick, very shiny, and very long! When i wear them next, i will be sure to upload some photo's so you can see for yourself!
 Hope this helps anyone who’s thinking about purchasing some Foxy Locks hair extensions!

Avon Big Colour lipstick in "Port Wine"

So as we all know the winter and autumn we just had, the deep red lip was a huge hit. At first I purchased a lipstick from Topshop in the shade 'Wicked'. It wasn't quite the shade I wanted as I found it had hues of a kinda pinky purply colour instead of a dark red.
Though it is still a nice lipstick and is much loved! I then came across MAC's lipstick in "Dark Side" whilst doing a bit of Internet shopping, I was so happy when I found it so ordered it straight away! I also got my usual Studio Sculpt foundation, pro-long wear concealer and fluidline in "Dipdown". I was so excited when my order finally came, when I opened it I noticed the lipstick wasn't I there, gutted and confused I called up MAC customer service and it turns out that it had actually gone out of stock.. I was devastated.
Thankfully my best friend's mum is an Avon lady, and I tend to get things cheaper and alot of amazing Avon products for Christmases and birthdays! She came round with tear big boxes of products ranging from bubble baths, to nail polishes, and jewellery to makeup! I came across the Avon Big Colour lipstick pencil in "Port Wine", and I absolutely love love love this lipstick. It's a perfect autumny shade of red, and as it took so long to find I thought it would be worth a review. I got it for just £2, it's moisturising, it's long lasting, you can sharpen it, so far I don't have any faults with it whatsoever.

MUA Lipstick in Shade 16.



 
Whilst having a ponder around town originally going to get a cute pair of socks and new stretcher for my ear, I got very very distracted! 
I had a nose around Superdrug and came to the MUA section. Well I fell in love with this lipstick right away, and for £1, you can't really go wrong! I thought I'd give it a nice new home with my growing lipstick collection, and with that I left town! (Without a cute pair of socks and a stretcher..)
 
As soon as I got home I couldn't wait to try it out, I find the coral like colour goes well with my skin tone, so that's a good start! I was really impressed at how pigmented it is, and is very moisturising! Though I do wish they had more range of colours though!

MAC lipstick in 'Cyber'.

 
Okay so anyone who follows me on my Instagram knows I've been doing the December Make Up challenge tag, and was especially looking forward to Day 7: 'Dark lips' so I could show off my Cyber Lipstick from MAC!

This is one of my favourites as I find it goes well with both my silver hair, and my purple hair for when I'm feeling a bit bored of silver I'll just dye it purple!
First of all I love how creamy this product is and how much of a vampy effect it has, and after a long day of wearing it, it doesn't stain the lips!
The Cyber shade of lipstick looks just as good with neutral eye make up, as it does with deep black smokey eyes.

Also don't be afraid of the pretty much black lipstick colour as it looks so different on! It looks great with dark skin tones as it does pale, so far I don't have any flaws with it whatsoever. By far one of my favourite lipsticks!

The Body Shop's Tea tree skin clearing facial wash review.


Okay so as my first post, I thought i'd do a review on this lovely tea tree face wash from The Body Shop!
Before I finally invested in the bigger bottle, I had been using the 60ml one which I got for £3.00.
I found this works really well for me as before I had started using it, I had alot of acne and breakouts appearing due to putting fake tan on my face. (Wont be doing that agaim's for sure!)
I do normally have a few spots here and there but I could honestly say, after putting that fake tan on my face, that was the worst state I had ever seen my face in!
Other than the few spots I get, and the red patchy blemishes I have, I also have an oily T-zone!

I wash with warm water and a flannel so that I'm exfoliating at the same time, after washes it gives my face such an awake, clean and fresh feel, which I adore!
Many other face washes I've tried, have included Johnsons, Neutrogena and Simple, none of them have cleared up my skin as well as this!

Like I said, the 60ml bottle is £3.00, this 250ml cost me a £5.00.
I have taken a photo of my breakout's on the side of my face and dated it, so in a couple weeks-three weeks, I plan on taking another photo as it would have mostly cleared up by then, I will do a post on how much it has cleared up!
