I'll take some E!

Hey guys!!!

So many of you ask me how my hair has stayed reasonably healthy even though I dye/bleach it within an inch of its life,
for my video click here

I've tried many things, the current favourite is E-Oil from Holland and Barrett!

It's not the cheapest place you can get it but when I bought it it was 2 for £4 so it was a steal!

I smother my dry hair with the oil and leave it in a towel over night.

I was and condition in the morning and VOILA!

My hair is fabulous, strong, soft and shiny.

I've tried using a quarter bottle and I've tried using a half and theres no better result using more so I wouldnt recommend it! I'm going to try dilluting it this weekend and will of course report my findings :)

I LOVE it! YOU WILL TOO!!!

What are your favourite hair products right now???

Drugstore Mascaras Review

This is soooo long overdue I'm sorry guys..

I have some photo's of the brushes for the blog, I'm uploading the review video right now..

I will add pictures of each mascara on my lashes later on.. maybe in a secondary blog post!
for the full review.. check my video
http://missbudgetbeauty.blogspot.com/2010/09/drugstore-mascaras-review.html

HARD CANDY : GINORMOUS LASH

BENEFIT : BAD GAL LASH

NYC : SHOWTIME

NYC : CITY CURLS

RIMMEL : 3 WAYS

LA SPLASH : WATERPROOF

BOURJOIS : 1001 CILS

RIMMEL : LASH ACCELERATE

GOSH : 2 STEP LENGTHENING

2TRUE : COLOUR

So... How does the applicator affect the mascara?

I think the fatter the brush the fatter the lashes...

The more definined the brush, the more defined the lashes

Some brushes just don't work out..

They will give you a coat of mascara but nothing else..

The bourjois one is a prime example..

That brush just does nothing for me whatsoever!

The LA splash one has nothing going on.. it's a basic brush but the product inside doesn't make up for it!

The NYC showtime is pretty much the same brush but the mascara is so thick it just somehow works...

I'm favouring the Gosh 2 step right now (only use step 2)

but all last month I loved the rimmel lash accelerate!!!

What are you guys wearing right now?

And what's your all time favourite mascara???

Blue for Brown Eyes

Just a moment to share my look of the day...

I'm trying to inject a little colour into my makeup!

  

The colour doesn't show up very vibrant on camera but it's only a touch brighter in real-life!

The colours I used are form the Urban Decay NYC palette...

I have Suspect all over my lid,

Haight on the outer half and crease

and Smog under my eye.

I'm wearing eyeliner in zero

and Gosh lengthening mascara

Beauty Events

Has anyone been to a beauty event?
I never have!
I follow LOTS of people on twitter.. mostly youtubers and I love that they have their own little community!
I love the idea of being invited to launch parties and pr events but doubt I'd make any youtube friends :(
I don't mesh well with cliques.. there are so many vlogger and bloggers put ther that already know each other. I'm not so popular now but if I become more popular in the future and AM invited to this stuff is there a hierarchy? I dont know!
So... I've been invited to a superdrug christmas pr event.. exciting? yes! But I dont want to go all the way to london on my own (2.5hours thanks  you very much)
so I can take someone along they tell me.. my boyfriend would of course oblige but I'd hate for him to feelall odd one outy with all the girls... my ONLY friend can't get off work and so I invited my go to youtube "friend" kelly (allthingsarty) who is from blackpool...
she said she's love to accompany me, of course... we've never met :s

What are these events like? are the girls the same mean bitchy girls I remember from school (the reason I eventually LEFT school) I don't do well with girls.. they dont tend to like me, I dont know what it is about me.. maybe I'm just REALLY annoying?! I dunno.
Anyway! I thought I'd voice my concerns on my blog.. so you all know that i the future if I DO get invited to this stuff I will be anxious and scared!
Have any of YOU been invited to this event?

let me know!

any tips for my nerves at meeting new blogger girls for the first time??
I dont do well in new social situations :(

To Ink or not To Ink?

Hey Guys!

Wow I've had such a busy week.. so I've been kinda slack on the blog front! my bad :(

I've been thinking a lot about getting another tattoo..

I'm wondering what you guys think of tattoos!

I love Kat Von D, I would obviously never go that far but I love how she's kinda girly but edgy and her tattoos suit her style so well. I'd love to have a big writing tattoo like her "hollywood" one on her lower stomach...

I also love pretty much every tattoo rihanna has (all but for the guns :s... that's not for me!!! Do any of you guys have tattoos? Do you think they're beautiful or just something we'll regret when we get old? I'm not sure... every now and then I get a hankering for some new ink but they say it's an addiction and I don't want to go crazy! I'd love to have something pretty to link my tattoos together but I think that would have to be pretty big.. Hmmmm... Since YouTube I can't make decisions for myself lol, so you guys are in the hot seat.. To ink or not to ink that is the question... and yours are my answers!!!

Hey Guys!

Is anyone looking forward to this collection as much as I am?
I can't find a definite answer as to when these products launch in the UK but they launch 30/09 in the US so I would imagine it will be shortly afterwards... I simply cannot wait.
So.. with this in mind I have some photos for you to browse and compile your own little wishlist in advance,

I LOVE the packaging but without swatching there's only one stand out product I have to have right now and that's the "bit of an apple" powder blush which is a beautiful matte coral!
