Hair Care Routine :)

Hey guys, iv got my hair care routine for you this time, i do this every other day. This does start at washing my hair, i have only got pictures of the products as i am not going to take pictures of me in the shower haha...anyway lets get into it...

First before i jump in the shower to wash my hair i quickly brush through it to get out any tangles before i wash it. Then i use the Washing out liquid by Bleach London. You may have seen in my previous posts that i have pink hair, i am trying to fade it so i can re-dye it a different colour. So i am currently using this and i have got to say it does work! Obviously it is not going to wash it all out but it does speed up the fading process. I got this from boots click here to check it out. 

Next i go in with Aussie's Take the heat shampoo. I do this because i feel like the washing out liquid makes my hair feel rough so i use this just to make it feel that little bit better. I got this from Superdrug and Aussie is near enough always on offer there. Click here to have a look.

Seeing as im using the Take the heat shampoo, i then follow with the same conditioner. I love this conditioner i feels super soft and nice and i leave this on for around 5 minuets just to let it soak into my hair. Click here to check it out.

Around once a week instead of the Take the heat conditioner i go in with 3 minuet miracle also by Aussie. Yeah i know, this sort of defeats the object with the fading of my hair colour but this is the only one i own until i get my superdrug order delivered but it is the Colour protect one. Click here to look it up. They also do little samples that are only 20ml and are only 99p so if your hair is in alright condition and you don't bleach it and you just want a one time treatment then it would be better to go for the 20ml one. 

Once i have finished in the shower i towel dry my hair a little and then i use the Take the heat miracle recharge by Aussie. This is a leave in conditioner that also has heat protector in. I literally spray this all over my hair and then brush it through to make sure it is even. Click here this is the only one that i couldn't find in my superdrug so instead i nipped to Sainsburys and got it from there.

Seeing as i use a lot of heat on my hair i then go in with a heat protector from L'oeral Paris this is the Elnett satin one in straight. This protects your hair as well as keeping it straight for up to 3 days. I just spray this on the ends of my hair because i think that it can make my hair quite greasy if it goes on my roots. Once it is applied i then brush through my hair. Click here to take a look at this product.

As soon as all the products have been applied i then just blow dry my hair... If i can i normally just blow dry it a little and keep it damp and then go to bed but if i do it through the day then i will blow dry it completely. If i am going out somewhere then i will normally straighten my hair but if i am just going to work i will tie my hair up. I always try not to straighten it if i don't need to. 

Even though i bleach my hair and dye my hair quite a lot, it is still in good condition, i don't know if that is because of the products i use or just the fact that i have healthy hair...i'm not too sure but i think that these products to help it out a lot.

That is my whole hair care. Hope you enjoyed it, as always get in touch with me in the comments or you can tweet me @danielleomfg :)

My Everyday Makeup Routine :)

Hey guys, yeah im back and this time i am going to be showing you all my everyday makeup routine. Please don't judge me without makeup haha...any way i better get started as this is going to be longggg. Hope you enjoy :)

So to get started i wash my face and then go in with my 
moisturiser and my B.even Skintone corrector.  I apply this with my clean hands and just wait for 5 minuets until it all sinks into my skin. 

















As soon as the moisturiser has soaked in i go on to to two primers. I have got to say i do love my primer and i always wear it. I actually wear two different primers, don't ask me why though...as i don't actually know why...it just works haha.  The first one i use is the Rimmel Stay Matte primer. This is a really thick primer and i think that it fills everything in but it doesn't make my skin feel soft and i dont like the feel so i then go in with the Maybelline Baby skin  Instant fatigue blur in cool rose. After applying this my face feels super soft and ready for makeup.

After primer i then go in with concealer. I use the rimmle Wake me up concealer in 030 Classic Beige...this is a perfect match for my skin tone. What i do is put it in triangles under my eyes and then just apply it to any other discoloration/imperfections with my pointed foundation brush by Real Techniques. I'm not sure you will be able to see in it in the picture but i will put it up anyway.

Right after the concealer i apply my foundation. I use Rimmel's lasting finish 25 hour foundation in shade 103 true ivory. This is a bit lighter than my own skin tone but i find that it blends into my neck a lot better than beige. I apply this my dotting it all over my face and then using the Expert Face Brush by Real Techniques i buff it into my skin. I have put a picture below to show the difference after i have applied the foundation.
Once i have let my foundation sit for a little i apply some matte powder. This is because the foundation i use is very dewy and i prefer a matte complexion. I use Maybelline Matte Maker and i apply a little with the Powder brush by Real Techniques. My face feels so soft after using this powder and it doesn't feel cakey like some powders can.

Yes i am one for contouring...i swear by it! yeah this duo does look a bit used..well that's because it is..i use this literally every single day of my life. It is a matte bronzer and a creme highlighter this is by B.sculpted at superdrug. i apply this under my cheekbones, in my temples, on my forehead and down the sides of my nose all with the Contour brush by yup you guessed it Real Techniques. 

Next i then use the I Heart Makeup definition trio, i don't actually use the bronzer in this as i find it too dark for me but i love the blusher and the highlighter. I apply the blusher on the apples of my cheeks and the highlighter on my cheekbones and a tiny bit on the bridge of my nose. I apply this with the Dirty Works angles blush brush i got from Sainsburys a while ago.

So that's my face makeup done, next is the eyes. I cannot live without pencil eyeliner. with every look i do i always make sure i have it on my waterline and my tight-line. I always use the 2true black pencil liner. It is so cheap and it is such an amazing product. 

After lining my eyes with the pencil liner i then use a shimmer bronzer by Makeup Revolution. I run a bit of this through my crease just to add a bit pf definition to my eyes. I do this with a base shadow brush by Real Techniques. 

Next is mascara...i use 3 different mascaras 2 of them are for volume and the other is to help curl my lashes. I am not blessed with long curled lashes so i build up my mascara. First i use a Lash curler from primark, it was so cheap i couldn't say no and it works really well..next i go in with the MUA Mega volume mascara (the pink one). After i use the Amazing volume by Makeup Revolution (the thick black one) then i go in with the Amazing Curl by makeup revolution (the only other one ;) ).

Once my mascara is complete i then finish off the eyes with my eyebrows. I use 2 different colours out of the Matte Essentials palette by Makeup revolution, yes i have hit pan on this..(cries) as you can see in the picture i use the lightest brown and the medium brown. I use this with the brow brush by Real Techniques and use just a cheap eyebrow brush from Superdrug to brush through them. (Don't mind the brows, a trip to Benefit's Brow Bar is in need!!)

 Last but not least of my makeup is the lips. i then just run a bit of Makeup Revolutions lipstick in the shade Flashing and put a bit of shade 'Dazzle' on the corners of my lips. 

That is it my Everyday makeup routine... if you want to know where any of the products are from just ask in the comments below. Get in touch with your opinions and i would love to see your everyday makeup routine so link it in the comments :)

Thanks for reading and i hope you like it. As always you can contact me either in the comments or hit me up on twitter @danielleomfg

Review on the B. Even Skintone correcter


Hey guys, seeing as i didn't post in a while i have the second post of today. This is a review on the B. even skin tone corrector. I have been using this for nearly 2 weeks now and i feel that i can review the product now.You can purchase this at any Superdrug click here to visit the website.
Here is what the product looks like and the box that it comes in -


I haven't got any before and after pictures as i forgot to take the before picture. I do honestly think that this product does what it says on the packet. i used to have a lot of redness around my cheeks, nose and chin and after applying this twice a day after moisturiser i think it has worked perfectly and within the space of two weeks there is a visible difference and the majority of the redness has gone. 

I think that they should produce a bigger bottle of this as it is starting to run out and i only use two small pumps with every application. So i doesn't last very long but i will definitely be purchasing this again. 

Overall i am very happy with this product and it does exactly what it says. I am also very happy with how my skin is right now after using this product. I recommend this to anyone with an uneven skin tone as it works wonders.

Hope this review helps and if any of you have tried the product i would love to know what you think about it so leave a comment :)

Collective haul :)

Hey guys, i know i haven't posted in a while but that's because i have been ill with the flu since last Friday, i was going to do this post last Sunday but i was just way too ill to even do anything. So here it is my collective haul, most of this i bought on Black Friday when it was all on sale but some of it is just me spending money as usual haha. 



First of all i have been wanting some black skinny ripped jeans, just because they simply look amazing. I think these jeans look so cool! I got these from a shop on ebay. Click here to go straight to the page i got them from. The only down side with these jeans is that there was no hole to put the button through to fasten them so i had to make the hole myself, i don't know if that was just bad luck or if they all come like that, but that can be easily fixed.


Next i got this amazing dress, also from ebay. Click here and it is style 3 that i got. This product was so cheap and it is really good quality! It fits perfectly and i am definitely going to be wearing this on new years eve!!

Another product i purchased from ebay, can you tell i love ebay for everything?? haha this is amazing, it is a very oversized shirt, i wear this either with a nice plain white tee or a nice crop top with some skinny black jeans. Click here again this was also very cheap and really good quality, Personally i think it looks better with the sleeves rolled up.


Next is an amazing crop top from Missguided, it is a cut out number, this top will literally go with anything it is so nice. (yeah mine needs ironing...sorry haha) It zips up at the back with a nice gold zip that just adds that little bit of an effect and i love it. Click here to have a look at it with more details.



 Another crop top from Missguided and this time this one is in black and it is also amazing! You can get this as a two piece but i personally don't like the skirt that comes with it as it is a midi skirt and i am quite short. This is a very high neck but it looks fab with the white contrast and the cut out details. Click here to have a look, they have it in different colours but i preferred the black.



















Topshop next. I got these high waisted shorts in the sale so im not too sure if they will have any left but i will link them if they do. These are amazing and really good quality and i got these for a tenner!! I do love my high waisted shorts. Click here for the website, they do have a few left but only in certain sizes so go check them out whilst they are still on sale!




















The last clothing item is these PJ joggers, i love wearing joggers in bed its just super comfy. I got these from New Look. They are quite baggy but i like them like that for bed. Click here to check them out, they also have them in one other colour.


Next is this brush set that i got from Ecotools, its the fresh and flawless set. It is a set of 5 different brushes each with a different purpose. one is a flat concealer brush, one a buffing concealer brush, then a precision foundation brush, next a complexion blending brush and last a full powder brush. I think these brushes are really good but i am set on the Real Techniques brushes and i always end up going back to them. The packaging for these brushes is really good and i intend to keep them in this. Click here for more info.

Yes simple again, if you have read my other blog posts you will know that i love simple, i picked this up in Wilkos as it was on sale half price so i thought i would try it out. This is the purifying cleansing lotion. I haven't tried this product yet but im sure it will be good as it is simple. Click here for the product.


This last product is carrying on from the skincare and it is the Champneys facial cleansing system. This comes with 4 brushes, 2 cleansing and 2 exfoliating brushes. It also includes batteries. This works by vibrating the brush head and it will clean your skin. for more information check it out here i actually got it from Boots but they are no longer selling it there so i have found it on amazon.




















That is the end of my haul guys, thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions on what blog posts you want me to do just get in touch :) you can tweet me at @danielleomfg or just leave a comment. Take care guys :)

Night time skincare routine :)

Hey guys, yes i am back with a new post. Sorry i haven't really posted anything much i have been soooo busy with work. Life just gets in the way sometimes...right? I am going to be showing you my night time skincare routine, I will put links to all of the products at the end of the post. This will more than likely be quite long so i better just get started :).

These are all of the products that i use in my skincare routine at the end of the day. As you can tell i do like to use Simple, just because it is so good for my skin, My skin can be quite sensitive and sometimes very dry in places and i find that Simple works the best for me.

First off i like to start by obviously washing my hands...there's no point trying to clean my face with dirty hands, am i right? But i do take it a step further and use hand sanitizer. I picked this up on my latest Primark shop...i just couldn't help my self, and oh my does it smell nice!!!


So i started with a full face of makeup as always - 


To get all of the makeup off i use the Skinology cleansing lotion from Wilkos, with a cotton pad. This just helps to break down all of my makeup, it will not take all of the makeup off but it will take the majority off. 

So i apply a generous amount of this onto a cotton pad and run this all over my face...yes i have to use quite a few of cotton pads but oh well... Iv done half of my face with this just to show you the difference and to show how well it took the makeup off. (please dont judge haha)


Once i have used the cleansing lotion, i then go in with Bourjois Maxi format express eye makeup remover. This is just to make sure that there is no mascara left on my lashes. Again i put this product on a cotton pad and just gently run it along my lashes. Be sure to shake the product though to mix up the two different formulas that are inside.

Then into the bathroom i go. Next is the Simple kind to skin moisturising facial wash. I use this just to make sure that there is no left over makeup still on my skin. All i do is wet my face with some nice warm water, i also make sure that my hands are wet. Then i put some of the product in the palm of my hand and it is a gel like consistency and i just work on my hand for a few seconds just to activate the product. Once the product is a nice white foam like wash, i gently work it into my skin with my fingertips avoiding the eye area. When i have worked it into my skin and made sure there would not be any makeup leftover i take a damp clean face cloth and run that over my face to get all of the product off. As soon as there is no product left i will just rinse my face with some clean warm water and then just pat my skin dry with a towel. 


Once all of my face is washed and dried, i then go in with the Simple soothing facial toner. To be perfectly honest with you i dont actually know why i go in with this, i just always have. Again i just use this with a new cotton pad and run it all over my face.


I then use Simple's hydrating light moisturiser. All i do is apply a little on to my hand then dot it around my face and gently work it into my skin. I love the feeling of this moisturiser because a lot of them feel really heavy or greasy and this is just perfect. 


Whilst im waiting for the moisturiser to sink into my skin i use the carmex lip balm. This works wonders for my lips its just so hydrating. Yes this was featured in my November favorites. 


As soon as the moisturiser has soaked into my skin i then use the last product which is the B. Even Skintone corrector. According to the packaging it says it evens the skin tone and if you have any dark spots it will basically get rid of them. I have only just started using this product. They recommend to use it twice a day, so that's exactly what i am doing. I'm not sure if this product works yet but as soon as i have used it long enough i will do a review on it. The consistency is like a balm and it is really soft on the skin.



















Well that's my night time skincare routine summed up. 
All the links for the products are as follows:

The Skinology cleansing lotion has been discontinued sorry :(

Bourjois eye makeup remover I cant actually find it on any of the drugstore sites so this is the best i can do for you.

All of these are actually on sale so if you follow the link it will take you straight there :






Again i hope you made it to the end of this post haha...
The next post will be a haul, i will do it as soon as all the products that i bought in the black Friday sale arrive. If you want me to review any products for you or if you have any suggestions on future posts then just get in touch @danielleomfg :).
