Beauty Photo Shoot and Actor Headshots
Ages ago I was contacted by a photographer named Graham Kenneth Short about potentially doing a photoshoot. Due to various things going on we could just never seem to find a date to actually get it done but finally last month we managed to find a spare few hours. I had just been sent some lipsticks from Urban Decay to review and as the colours were so lovely and bold, we decided to base the shoot around them and make it a beauty shoot. This meant all photos were pretty much just of my head and shoulders. As well as doing the beauty shots Graham asked if I needed some headshots doing…

LOVE NICHE Fashion and Style Event
A lot of you may not know that I am based in Durham and I love supporting local businesses. With Newcastle being just a stone throw away and with me living there for 3 years up until recently, I do still consider Newcastle as my home. I really love being a blogger in the North East as there is so much going on here and the blogging events I get invited to are really exciting. I was recently invited to a fabulous event at a really nice new bar called Bonbar in Newcastle for the LOVE NICHE fashion and style event. The event showcased the latest A/W collection from LOVE NICHE…

Urban Decay New Fall Range – Review
I am a huge Urban Decay fan and I am excited to be sharing with you the new Fall collection which is now out to buy. The Fall 2015 collection consists of the new Naked Smokey Palette, Matte Revolution Lipstick, Brow Beater Pencil/Brush and Brow Tamer Gel. I was sent the Lipstick, Brow pencil and Brow tamer in different colours to try. The colours are very autumn/winter with lots of darker earthy colours. With different shades of brown being common with the products.

Hothair – Hair Pieces Review
I love my hair extensions and 90% of the time I am wearing them because my hair is just so thin and damaged from bleaching my hair many years ago. My hair doesn’t grow much at all and the ends are so thin and it just generally looks limp and lifeless without my extensions. I have had semi-permanent extensions in before however currently stick to clip-ins which does mean putting them in every day. Although I feel I have mastered the art It does take time to clip all 8 pieces in each time, and let’s face it, we all have days when we just can’t be bothered to make…
