Hi y'all! Today I wanna chat about The Oil Cleansing Method.  'Cleansing with oil?!'  I hear you say! - Yes cleansing with oil. About a month back I got my daily/weekly email from MichellePhan.com  with a post on oil cleansing. This piqued my interest, so I clicked the link and went and had a  READ.   The How To: The general gist is using a mixture of 2 oils, the main oil being Castor Oil. You mix this with your chosen carrier oil and massage in to the skin for a few minutes, allow to sit for 30 seconds to a minute, then run a face cloth under the hot tap, wring and place on your face to cool. Once cool wipe over the face and repeat another 2-3 times. Make sure all traces of the now 'dirty' oil has been removed. I started using this on/off after reading it then stopped. But decided I would give it a proper go a week and a half ago. My chosen carrier oil was olive oil (not the best to use I'll tell you why). What I did was mix about 3 teaspoons of castor oil t...

Hey Beauty Lovers! A real quick hair post for you today. This is the Angel Wing Braid. Thus named for looking like an angel wing! Its basically a lace braid, but your adding more hair to the top strand. Here's where I learned this lil beauty: SecretLifeOfaBioNerd At the mo I am really loving this YouTuber! She is amazing! I have such an urge to DIY everything now! I trimmed my fringe the other day so its much shorter now so there's the odd sticky outty bit. To finish the braid off I just continued to braid past my ear then pinned into place. Its a really cute bo-ho look Hope you like and check out SecretLifeOfaBioNerd! Jeni x

Hi Guy's! I'm so excited, finally both my packages from Korea arrived! Isn't it so much more exciting getting things in the post!? A few weeks ago I order 2 Tony Moly products from ebay.

Hi Kitties! I'm going to try and introduce a new element to my blog Quick Tips So these will be little tips I've learnt along the way that I think are worth sharing! Today I'm going to share a tip that I read about from a teen mag when I was like 13-14. At the time I wasn't big on makeup and sort of forgot about it till now! I've recently started wearing mascara on my lower lashes again - I'd stopped because I was fed up with getting panda eyes all the time! Then I remembered this little tip I read - and it works! All you will need will be: A Face Powder & A Fluffy Brush F.Y.I  Its not a real MAC brush it came from china! So you may have already guessed what you have to do!  1. Start with Clean dry Lashes  2.Using you fluffy brush pick up some face powder and dust your eyelashes and lower lash line with powder 3. Apply mascara Now I'm not 100% sure whether the powder simply soaks up excess oil around the eye's to stop the smudging, but what I do know...

Hi ! Today I give to you this fun hair style I wore on Friday  The Double Bun or  if your a Star Wars fan like me The Princess Leia! Do we like my awkward posing? :P This hair style is super easy to create. All you need are 4 hair ties and your required number of bobby pins. To start off, separate hair in to two sections, parting from the middle. Then tie in to pig tails at your desired height. Gently twist and wrap hair around the hair tie to form a bun on both sides. Like me, you may need to twist the bun round and gently fan it out to get a neater, flatter shape. Once you have your desired shape simply pin in place.  I used two pins per bun, just to keep it flat. Then spritz with hairspray. Job done! I loved wearing this hair style, its cute and a little quirky.  And I totally didn't mind being called Princess Leia all day! Hope you give it a go! Jeni x

Hello Happy Bunnies! Yesterday I got a lovely surprise!  One of the very lovely ladies at work bought in a bag of left over/extra un-opened/un-used makeup testers. (Her husband supplies them to shops & so on, & they quite often get lots left over to take home!) And so said very lovely lady said to me:   "Hey Jeni, you like make up would you like to take some of these home with you!" Well my little face lit up and I was a bit "OMG really!"  Anywho...I picked out 2 lip glosses & 2 lipsticks all by L'Oreal a brand I haven't actually used before Shock/Horror! I genuinely could not stop saying thank you, and she kept telling me I could take more! If I hadn't controlled myself the bag would have come home with me!  So here are the amazing lippie's that I picked out :) They are sooo pretty :) I have 2 of the L'Oreal Rough Caresse Lipsticks worth £7.99 And... 2 of the Glam Shine 6hr wear Lipglosses worth £8.69 I have never had such beautif...

Finally they are here! The H&M swatches that I didn't have in my Mixed Haul post! The eye-shadow's didn't have names so these are my names for them! Its more of a description of the colours! :P The consistency of each isn't to bad, a bit powdery but not to much so. They also have quite a creamy feel. & The eyeliner is much brighter than I thought, has a metallic finish to it which really catches and reflects the light. Although as a swatch the lip pen is very bright on my lips its different. My lips are naturally very pigmented anyway so this colour tones them down a bit and leaves a slight orangey hue. I find I can only wear this if my lips are completely smooth otherwise it really shows up any cracks. Thanks for looking! Jeni x

Hiiii All! Today I decided it would be a good idea to go though a few drawers and my makeup bag and bin some stuff that I don't use or are total rubbish! I didn't end up with loads of stuff but here is what I did end up with! Some nail polishes Miss Sporty Glossy-Tech top coat & Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Both of these have become incredibly sticky and gloppy with time and are no use anymore, so off to the bin with 'em! The 3 George polishes on the right: The pastel purple has sort of curdled and split - not so pretty The shatter top coat is a load of pants! It doesn't do what it say's just sort of blobs out and makes your nails look a mess & The white polish is quite streaky and I recently bought a Barry M white polish that's much better... So bye bye you three! Superdrug Dry Shampoo - I have never use a worse  product. It doesn't work at all. I gave it 3 try's on 3 separate occasions and nothing! It sprays out as you would imagin then sits i...

Evening! Just a quick hairstyle for you today, I wore this to work yesterday, my fringe is getting really long and flappy now so I wanted to have it out of my face yesterday, I don't know if it happens to you but do you ever just find it totes annoying? For those of you who don't know a Dutch Braid is simply a reverse French Braid - meaning that you braid under the middle strand rather than over leaving your braid sat on top of your head. I would of love to of tugged on the braid to make it a bit fuller but had I done that my layers would of fallen out all over the place. I love this braid, it looks really cool and I sort of felt a bit like a worrier princess haha! - Or that could be because I'm reading A Game of Thrones! Hope you like! :) Jeni x
