Hair Extenstions Review

(This post is in no way sponsored, this is my actual opinion on this product! Please ignore these awful photos they will be replaced!) 

Ever since the age of eight I've had horrible short straw like hair. I made the stupid decision to cut it just below my ears, and of course hated it. My hair is incredibly frizzy, and just does not do what I would like. Since then I've had a huge self esteem issue, and recently I just couldn't live with it anymore so I went on the hunt for some extensions. 

It may sound a bit extreme but I felt so low, that I decided this was the next option for me. I am so glad I choose to, as I am so much happier and confident. 

I bought my set from LUSH Hair Extensions, I bought the 20'' Clip In Human Hair Set, and it cost £46.99..  It comes with a set of eight different clips. They were ridiculously long, so I went to a salon and had them cut into more hair, layered and shaped. 

I only wear three out of the full set (Two Three Clips and One Four Clip) I start the three clip at the nape of my neck, the next three clip just below my ear and the four clip just above my ear. I normally war my hair as styled above (curly or straightened) and part the front part of my hair and secure with a cute little bow. 

I would really recommend this company, they offer a free colour matching service, and also offer a full refund if you are not happy with the product. I received mine the very next day, in perfect condition in beautiful packaging and could not be happier. 

I cannot feel the clips unless they very rarely move, then they will pull or itch, but its incredibly easy to fix. I wear the set every day they are REMY Human hair so I wash them as normal (in the sink however) They can be styled as desired including braided or put up, just make sure the clips aren't visible!

I love these, and once they reach the end of their life I will defiantly be repurchasing, really recommend them! I would love to buy the deluxe set next! Really recommend this if you are looking for great quality extensions!

Homemade Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:                                                                             

650g Strong White Flour                                                        

1 Sachet of Fast Action Dry Yeast                                             

2 Tsp of Salt                                                                                

2 Tsp of Olive Oil                                                                       

50ml Warm Milk                                                                         

325ml Warm Water                                                                      

Ketchup                                                                                      

Equipment:

Measuring Jug

Weighing Scales

10/11inch Circular Baking Tray

Wooden Spoon 

Bowl

Cheese Grater

Rolling Pin

Step One: 

First measure your flour and pour it into your bowl, using your fingers make a well in the middle of your flour and then pour your sachet of yeast, salt and olive oil into the well. Then fill up the rest of the well with flour. 

Step Two:

Then Pour in the water and mix it in. Pour the milk into a bowl and warm it in the microwave for thirty seconds and pour into the mixture. If the mixture is too wet then add a dash of flour, and if it too dry and falling apart then add some water. Do this throughout.

Step Three:

When your dough is firm (it should still feel slightly wet and warm) and has formed a ball then dust a surface with some flour, and start kneading your dough. Do this for about five minutes, and it will be a firm ball. When you think its ready, dust some flour onto a rolling pin and start rolling it out. As it stretches it will almost always ping back, keep doing this and eventually it will start to stretch out.

Step Five:

Depending on your taste you can keep rolling it until its quite think or you can make it thick if your prefer a thick base. Using Olive Oil grease the baking tray, and then place the dough onto the tray. Using a knife cut out any excess that may drape over the sides. (You can use this for the crust!) 

Step Six:

Using the excess place it around the edge and mold it into the shape of a crust. You can now use either ketchup or pizza sauce - I prefer ketchup and using a spoon I evenly apply this across the base. 

Step Six: 

Grate your cheese and evenly apply across the pizza, and apply any toppings you would like - I either go for pancetta or ham! (How original!) Then place it in the oven at 200° for around 10-18 minutes - I find optimum time is around 13 minutes! 

So there we go, my first recipe for my blog! I really love homemade pizza and its especially fun making it with my brothers or sisters! I hope you having a wonderful summer vacation if you live in America, and if your in England - or anywhere else then I hope you are enjoying your last few weeks at school before summer holidays!

Summer Essentials

(I know, I know I'm awful and haven't updated in so long! I feel like I all I do is give excuses but to be honest I have just started my GCSE'S, but that is no excuse! I also have been struggling with ideas of what to post so please let me know what you would like to see or what you think I should post as most of the time I have no clue!)

Hey Guys, this is my Summer Essentials that I have been pinning for recently, and might well treat myself too!

1. Bug Eye Sunglasses (Available here)

Okay I'm a hoarder.. but you can never have too many sunglasses right... and besides the fact that I always seem to lose my pairs and the fact that three of mine are currently at the bottom of a lake in the middle of France..

2. MAC 217 Blending Brush (Available here)

I always convince myself that I don't need this but it always creeps back onto my wishlist and I think that this month it might end up in my basket too.. Woops, its worth it right?

3. Revlon Lip Butter (Available here)

I only have one of these, and I need MORE! They're so natural and creamy on the lips! A summer staple defiantly! T

4. MAC Bronzer (Available here)

No Summer Makeup is complete without bronzing, and seeing as the fact that my Benefit Bronzer has hit pan and practically disappeared I think it's time to test out the MAC Bronzer as I've heard so many people love it!

5. MAC Lipstick in 'SHANGHAI SPICE' (Available here)

I've seen this raved about recently as a 'your lip but better' colour and I think this will be so beautiful  in the summer, so I've been longing to add this to my mini collection. 

6. TOPSHOP Blue Rosa Shorts (Available here)

I don't have any shorts that fit anymore... so time to add these bad boys into my Summer Waderobe. Besides, TOPSHOP shorts are a definite must in every Summer Wardrobe. 

7. MAC Pro long wear Concealer (Available here)

I am need of a new concealer as my Benefit Concealer has almost wasted away! And everyone and their cat's mothers rave about this. I also get really lazy with makeup in hot weather and only wear a concealer, so I really need a high coverage concealer to hide those ugly spots that keep making appearances!

8. Infinity Ring (Available here)

Everyone but me has one of these, there so cute and dainty! I think i'll defiantly get a lot of use out of this in the summer!

So, I hope this gave you some inspiration and you enjoyed reading this post!

P.S: I've had a few unfollowers recently! Please don't unfollow my blog, it breaks my heart!

May Favourites

This year is whizzing by, it was only yesterday I was writing my christmas list; and were already half way into 2014! Which also means that it's summer, and there's only six weeks left of school! I'm thinking about doing a summer makeup and outfit look book if you would like. If you have any requests please please leave it in the comments below as I would love to do all of your requests!

1. MAC Paintpot in 'Chrome Angel'
I bought this little beauty around January/February time, but hadn't really used up until two weeks ago. It's quite an unusual colour choice, but my eyelids are completly white (due to a skin condition - explained in an older post.) so this is basically a base colour. It gives a beautiful light shimmer and glides on easily.

2. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara
This mascara, wow. Everything I ask for in a mascara. It's volumizing and elongating without being too clumpy. It literally glides on and lasts all day, without flaking off or smudging! Not much else to say than I have been loving this!

3. MAC 234 Brush
I don't normally wear eyeshadow as lets be honest I'm a bit lazy but I am trying to wear eyeshadow more often. But this brush helps to easily create a smokey eye, and shades and blends like a dream and I'm thinking of adding the 217 to my growing collection.

4. V05 Smoothly Does It Heat Protect Serum
Seeing as I straighten my hair everyday I did use heat defence spray but it took forever to dry and left my hair feeling slightly greasy, so I went on a hunt and found this beauty. It keeps my hair straight all day and leaves it feeling and looking sleek and smooth.

5. Real Techniques Contour Brush 
I think I always have a Real Techniques Brush in my favourites, woops! But I have been loving this brush seeing as its summer and I always contour in the summer. This brush just makes it so much easier to reach the hollows of your cheeks.

I hope you enjoyed this, what have you been loving recently?

(My new update update is every four days, so please leave a request below of what you would like to see on Sunday!)

Spring/Summer Outifts

(Okay, I'm trying to get over my fear of showing my body over the internet, I am a size 8 but I'm quite curvy (shudder, shudder) and I have quite a few body fears, like most teenagers! But I really wanted to show you some of my favourite summer outfits!)

Outfit One                               Outfit Two                               Outfit Three

Bandou - New Look               Jumper - H&M                       Crop Top - H&M

Blazer - Forever21                  Crop Top - Forever21             Kimono - Forever21

Trousers - Topshop                 Skirt - Forever21                    Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - Converse                    Shoes - Converse                    Shoes - Converse

I normally go for a quite simple plain top and shorts look, quite casual and boring but I've decided to change up my summer style and go for something a bit more edgy and stylish. I have listed this as both Spring and Summer as in England all the season's merge together so we basically just have a cold season and a warmish season.

Outfit One:

This outfit is inspired by an outfit I recently saw on the Zara runway with a sleek ponytail up-do. I think this look could be dressed up to look smart, or dressed down to be more casual. It's also quite versatile, you could wear it to the beach with a floppy hat, or out to dinner (with a different top of course) and it could look totally cute with the trousers over a bikini. I adore this outfit.

Outfit Two:

This outfit is rather girly, but could be dressed down with a biker jacket and combat/biker boots, with a quiff to give it more of an edgy vibe. So if you haven't guessed I've really into versatile looks that can be completely changed up.

Outfit Three: 

There's always those spring/summer days that are to cold to wear shorts, and too warm for a jumper so I personally think this is a great in-between and perfect for the windy summer days. 

I also finally just wanted to say my blog design is finally finished, I hope you love it as much as I do; I want to say a huge thank you to Emily and Jenna who have helped design my blog. If you click on the names you can check out their gorgeous blog's!

I really love all three of these outfit's and I hope you have; I also hope this has given you some idea's for spring/summer outfit's, or just some inspiration! 

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation

Back in February one of my best friends bought me the 'Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation' Up until recently its been in my makeup draw untouched however slowly but surely I've fallen in love with it.

Lily Lolo is an online makeup store that offers inexpensive and high quality makeup and is available here.

A little while back I had been lusting over new foundations but I'm trying to save up for my trip to America. (Because who wouldn't make use of the favourable exchange rates and typical lower prices!) Anyway, back to the point I had been lusting over new foundations and after rummaging through my stash I found this unloved beauty and fell back in love.

The formula is silky and lightweight, and lies softly and evenly across your skin; i've also finally found a foundation/powder that does not look cakey, and doesn't cling to dry patches or spots that you may have across your face, whilst stays in tack all day! It is made with all natural ingredients to keep skin healthy and minimise breakouts!

I think finally I've found my holy grail foundation, and will hopefully continue to stick with it. It is defiantly a 'your skin but better' foundation, and looks completely natural. I also think this will be my staple summer foundation seeing as it is lightweight and offers SPF 15. I would 100% recommend this, and also deffinatly reccomend checking out their online store and ordering a few bits!

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, if you haven't guessed the blog changes aren't going to well and are taking longer than I thought. I will try my best to keep the updates frequent, I love you all. Don't forget to follow via bloglovin!

I am so excited about this because it has been on my too do list for a long time!
