M U A

Hello my beauties!!

I'm very sorry in my lack of blogs!!...busy mummy of two lil girlies and finding the time is sometimes difficult as i also work evenings....anyways........for my next blog.....MUA !!

MUA? i hear you say? make up artist?...nope! Make up Academy.
makeup academy eyeshadows
get down to your local Superdrug n check this makeup range out! Most items are only £1.00!
These eyeshadows are £1.00 each!.....
intense colour pigmentation
At first i too thought nah! they will be useless because they are so cheap...but i was very wrong, these are quite amazing, definately for the price and the colour pay off on the pearled shades are AMAZING!!!..i bought every colour that was on the shelf! The only thing i will say is that if you are using these as a secondary colour,that they do take some blending,due to the pigment being so dense.(so a good blending brush is required!)
matte colour for smokey eyes!
Now as a makeup artist, i want makeup to last a long time once applied right?....and i'm impressed! they certainly do last and i have found that they dont seem to crease either. ( i do however also use an eyeprimer before applying any shadow). the matte eyeshadows in this range seem quite powdery and do take some layering, but are good for creating a soft look to the eye area for those people who dont like to wear to much, or even for teens who are just starting out in makeup..(or even for my 5 year old who already adores makeup!)...MUA also do palettes of eyeshadows for around £4.00. Also in the £1.00 range are lipsticks,mascaras,eye pencils,lipglosses,nail polish, bronzers and blushers(one of which i wear everyday and cant be without it!) the blushers go on the skin so easily and blend brilliantly..and once again they also last!! I am yet to try other items from this range,but would be interested to hear any feedback from those that have!..... so honestly people for a cheap, but good range,Go and treat yourself! most of these eyeshadows are great.......and i do highly recommend them! Available at superdrug nationwide, and certainly wont break the bank getting them!

Untill next time.....

Hello beauties!!
......................Ok so i got to wondering what do i do my first blog about?....what product or item do i really love the most?...Then when doing my hair this morning...BOOM!!
The Tangle teezer!!.....

Simple lil pink bit of plastic...but Absolutely amazing!!.....

Many times whilst working in a hair salon i would stand, sectioning,combing,spraying, detangling, repeating this process over and over untill the clients hair was tangle free and ready for cutting!
Which was time comsuming, frustrating and also uncomfortable for whoever's hair was this tangled mess!........Not only that but being blessed with curly/wavy hair myself combing my wet hair sometimes hurts!!

Not Anymore!!.....  suitable for absolutely all hair types..my eldest daughter (5) has fine hair, youngest daughter (3) has loosely curled dry hair...the tangle teezer glides straight throu the hair! no more tantrums over having their wet hair combed!...and detangles just as brilliantly on dry hair too!Infact even at this young age,they both really dont want to use anything else,and why should they?

So the invention?...featured on dragon's den and disapproved!(shame on u!)..but not put off by the critics the inventor Shaun p used his own money to set this up...and now it is one of the best selling hairbrushes in the uk and our household cannot live without it.

You should never brush wet hair.....You should never comb dry hair.....but with the tangle teezer you can do both...wet or dry...no more knots and no more tangles

So where can i but this from i hear you say?  Well i bought mine from Boots £12.50 and if you are thinking its a lil bit pricy...trust me if you have tangled hair when wet, hard to brush curly hair when dry, or the fine tangled type...it will be the money well spent! infact we have two!
comes in different colours,light as a feather,some with lids,perfect handbag sized ones...and even rapunzel flowerpot tangle teezers for little girlies!
The Tangle teezer really is a must have for me and my girls, and that is why i am giving it a big THUMBS UP!!   and classing it as one of my Obsessions!

so go on.....go get one!
Untill next time.....
