Disappointing Foxy Locks

I had always wanted Foxy Locks extensions for such a long time I'm a big follower of the creator Imogen who I'd watched on youtube and who's hair I'd always admired. I finally bit the bullet three months ago and purchased the 165g set of latte blonde for £78 just like Imogen. I followed by getting my hair matched to the colour (not at my usual hairdresser because she was on holiday) the colour wasn't too far off and I was ok with that I'd had trouble with orange and pink undertones in extensions before and usually it was a case of toning my hair to match. It didn't work. 6 weeks later my usual hairdresser who knows so much about colouring and so much about my hair matched my hair up it was much better but the extensions just started to become more and more pink. I think this is down to heat use. The extentions were thicker than Wildest Dreams my favourite brand of extensions but they didn't react to heat very well. I've always been able to keep a curl in previous brands of extensions but even if I pin curled my hair several hours before a date, day or night out the curls soon dropped to straight after an hour. They didn't always fall the way I wanted them to either. I found the clips incredibly scratchy, they latch onto your hair and rip parts out. My hair has now thinned down the sides due to this. They are uncomfortable to wear for more that 3/4 hours and whenever I leant my head to rest. I've been wearing clip ins for more than 4 years and I have never experienced such poor quality clips. The hair frayed and split after a weeks use despite using gentle heat and Loreal heat protection. Also I had to resow 2 clips that ended up falling off. 

I have never been so disappointed in clip ins and in future I'll be sticking to what I know. They were such a waste of time and money. I hate to give bad reviews but here is one. 

(An example of the curls dropping out - sorry for the bad quality.) 

Sorry for ranting but I would not choose the extensions ever again.

New Hair!

Hi guys so here's a little update on my hair. I've always been blonde but I wanted to try my hair darker especially since we're going into winter this is what it turned out like! 

 As you can see the low lights are a lot darker and spread through my hair. I have one low light to every highlight where as before I had two highlights to every low light.

I'm loving the change in colour it feels a lot warmer coming into autumn. 

I've also had to change my extensions which I'm very happy about I wasn't loving the foxy locks extensions at all! I'm currently wearing wildest dreams hair extensions - 18inch cookies and cream. They are by far my favourite clip ins! 

Hope you like the new hair! 

Feel free to leave and questions.

Life Update

Hi guys I promised you an update in my last blog post as to why I've been away for so long so here it is. 

I've been spending a lot of time visiting family I even drove to Manchester on my own and I've been going on days out recently with my family and boyfriend which have been lots of fun. I've also been having lots of nights out with all my friends who are home from university because I've missed them all so much. I've started working for New Look which I'm really loving as well as the 50% discount. This means I've been working a lot and it's made me very tired as there is quite a bit to learn. I'm also going on holiday in less than four weeks with my boyfriend and his family to Portugal which I'm incredibly excited for. We get back the day before I start my second year of university which has come round so ridiculously quick. I've got a fair amount of reading and organizing I have to do before this as you can imagine! Tomorrow or today (I'm writing this in the early hours of the morning so excuse my grammar) I'm going to ladies day at Newbury races which I'm really excited for followed by a meal at Prezzos and drinks afterwards. I can't wait to wear my Missguided dress (blog to follow) it's amazing! 

Thanks for reading and apologies I've been away,

Pastels and Ponytails

So here's yesterday's OOTD, I created it around this beautiful Matalan top. The tropical prints are so summery and the colours are beautiful. The material feels super expensive and the buttons down the back also look very expensive. 

I picked colours from the top to piece together the rest of the outfit. These cute pastel elasticated jeans are from Dorethy Perkins. The denim jacket and sweet pastel pink bag are both from Primark.

The shoes are from Topshop they're a pastel pink crocodile texture. My nails are painted with Avon nail wear pro. I've been loving wearing my extensions up in a ponytail at the moment it's great to get my hair off my face in both the sun and windy conditions we're having in the UK at the movement.

Hope you all liked this outfit I had so much fun piecing it together and I'm loving these summery colours!

Mask Of Magnaminity - The Holy Grail

This is a product that Lush has had out for a while but I think it's passed by quite easily instore. Sure it doesn't look too appealing to smear all over your face as it's bright green and lumpy but this product seriously is the holy grail.

 It's brilliant and it's completely cleared up my skin. It reduces blemishes in hours and makes my skin feel so incredibly fresh and smooth. I think today we get tricked into applying all sorts of chemicals to try and help improve our skin but surely something natural is so much better. This face mask includes honey, beans, evening primrose and lots of peppermint. It makes my face feel so much better than when I used to apply products such as clean and clear etc as it doesn't make my skin feel dry or drained at all. 

I feel like I'm doing my skin a favour when I apply this. I really really really recommend it to both teenagers and adults, it will really sort you out. I can't stress enough what a miracle product this is I apply nearly everyday! You need this on your life! 

Hope this helps!
