Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment


Before discovering Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment, I was using Moroccan Oil religiously.

I used to use the Moroccan Oil when my hair was dry, just after straightening it as it helped it stay shiny and straight practically all day. However it left a sort of greasy feel afterwards which, at the time, didn't bother me because I liked the look so much. Yet as my hair got longer (near my belly button!) it felt like  it was weighing it down so much, so much so that I stopped using it.

The main reason why I prefer the Macadamia Healing Oil to Moroccan Oil is due to the fact it is light-weight and, especially if you have long hair, doesn't weigh it down. I do however feel I need to use a little more of this as it isn't as thick as Moroccan Oil, which in hindsight is a good thing.

I use the Macadamia Healing Oil everyday on dry hair and it's great. I've also started using the Moroccan Oil after I wash my hair when it's damp and it doesn't weigh it down at all. This is defo a must have hair treatment that I'll definitely repurchase. It's also cheaper than Morrocan Oil (£25.35 instead of £30.35).

Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer in Antigua






I was on eyeslipsface.com (elf) buying the Studio Eyebrow Kit (which is really good btw!) and thought I'd also add the Contouring Blush & Bronzer into my basket. 

I got it in the shade "antigua" which has a barbie pink blush on one side and a bronzer on the other. The blush is very similar to MAC's Pink Swoon mixed in with Well Dressed, and the bronzer is similar to Nars Laguna yet I find is much more shimmery. I do, however, think the bronzer in this duo is much more pigmented than Nars Laguna - yet it can come off on the skin as muddy if too much is applied. The blush colour is really nice. It does have specks of refined glitter in but doesn't look over powering.  I think the blush would look really good on all skin tones and the bronzer perhaps on medium to dark skin tones as it might come off as orange on fair skin girls. Nevertheless, I'm really happy with my purchase and, for £3.75 (crazily cheap!), I'll definitely be ordering more of the other shades.

I can definitely see why people consider this as a dupe for the Nars Orgasm/Laguna duo - it's just as good.

Tumblr / wrxked

Soooooo, I've created a new Tumblr, wrxked. Well - just changed the url, design and the 'themes' of what I post from my old one. On my last blog I posted pretty scenery, cute boys and girls fashion. My new Tumblr is completely different and I prefer it by far. I've named it wrxked as "wrecked" was taken and "wrxcked" with the 'c' looked weird. So it's like "wreked", ah I like it. I prefer one worded url's as they look more clean, imo.

Anyway, here are a couple screen-shots.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder


I bought this product simply because Tanya Burr uses it in literally every tutorial. That is all.

Rimmel are one of my favourite drugstore brands (their eye products in particular are bomb) and the Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder is no exception. I got mine in 001 transparent as I hate coloured setting powders (aside from the MAC ones) and I loooove it. If you want a fully matte look then I'd definitely pick this up - it leaves no shine whatsoever and lasts for absolutely ages which is great if you have oily or combination skin. It also smells really nice and fresh, it's weird, I like it.

The only thing I dislike is the packaging. I hate how the lid is separate to the product which makes it awkward when using it out places. However, it is only around £3.50 so it is understandable. Yet for the price it's a really great product and I highly recommend.

[Finding time to blog recently is really difficult because I'm getting towards the end of year 11 which means exams exams exams - most of them are final ones so I can't retake so the pressure is definately on. I'm coming up to Easter half break soon (2 weeks off, yay) so hopefully can blog loads and write lots of drafts that I can post when exams are on. Other than that I won't be able to blog fully until the end of June *sad face*. School first I'm afraid.]

"Sweet Tart" by Revlon




Even though I'm still in school (we have the no nail polish rule), I still like to wear bright colours on the weekend. I always paint the colour on the top of false nails - that way I can easily remove them before school and can always use them again. It also doesn't stain my nails, especially with the bright and darker shades.

The colour I've been loving recently is Sweet Tart by Revlon; a bright, near-enough neon pink. I've found with this nail enamel that the more coats you apply the less bright it becomes which is good. In the picture above I've applied around four coats so it's a much darker hot pink. The formula is really nice - it dries super quickly and is really thick and opaque. They also come in tonnes of shades!

For £6.49, I highly recommend :)
