30 Day Snap #12 /FOTD

Sorry to miss out yesterday's snap but my day was mega boring,literally had nothing to photograph,sorry!
Today I just handed in school books and went to the retail park with my friends for a Starbucks,but I didn't get anything so couldn't take a photo of that either!

Here was my faaaace cause it's all I have taken a picture of today,and only for this post realising I had nothing else! Rocked a high ponytail after seeing Zoe's video,although I sometimes wear them they look much better after using Zoe's technique!(hair still wet from my shower in this photo!) Wish I looked like her!Although,the reason I got back into YouTube videos was because someone at school said I looked like Tanya Burr,so after forgetting her name and typing in variations I finally found Tanya Burr,and was so flattered because Tanya is so beautiful! I don't see it at all,I wish!!

                                        have a lovely morning/afternoon,evening wherever you are!

Graduation: Class of 2013!

So after 6 years,I graduated high school last night.I wasn't really sad because school wasn't the best of times,but I made loads of friends and stayed close to my group of friends from 1st year to 6th year(I live in Scotland so the education system is a bit different). I'll miss some people I guess,that I won't get to see again. The future terrifies me as I'm still umming and ahhing about what to do,and I'm torn between wanting to stay at school for the security and leaving,but I don't have a choice! But I try not to dwell on it too much.

This was my make-up before I went out(not great quality,taken on my iPhone)(my hair was not complying and I was in a huge rush,to get a professional photo taken before the graduation,so my makeup isn't great either,ah!)
(makeup photos taken into the light,so I look a bit like a ghost)


I wore : 

  • Colour Adapt Maxfactor Foundation in 45 Warm Almond(I had the maxfactor all day flawless but I went to repurchase and it was sold out so I bought this,it's in the same shade yet much darker and the texture  is greasy,would not recommend but I haven't had time to buy my old one again yet)
  • - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Warm Beige
  • - Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara
  • - No7 Perfectly Bronzed Bronzing Pearls
  • - Vue eyeshadow from the Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Palette
  • - Guest List & Waif eyeshadows from the Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Palette(used for eyebrows)
  • - Vie Out Of The Shadows  Light Diffusing Concealer
  • - Estée Lauder Red Lipstick (My friend put it in her handbag last night and I forgot to get it back,so I can't remember the shade)
  • - I also applied Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl Eyeliner just before I left but isn't pictured above,for me this eyeliner comes off so quickly,but I couldn't find my Lancôme eyeliner so it had to suffice.
  • My Dress is from New Look a couple of weeks ago(£26)
  • I curled my hair but even with copious amounts of hairspray my hair always returns to it's natural wave after an hour or so,annoyingly!)


I couldn't ask for a better group of friends,I'll insert some photo's I took on my Dad's camera(near the end of the night..I don't look great)   (We all piled in for one of my friends slots as she didn't want to go alone,and my Dad snuck in beside the professional photographer)
The Head Girl and I,who is my friend I love to bits(iphone photo)

 This is one of my best friends Emma,I love her dress(Again,back to posh camera so my dress looks a different colour.It was more pinky than this photo shows but more orange than the iphone photo's show!
(This is just to show my whole outfit,another one with one of my besties)

                                   It's the end of an era,I wonder where I'll be in 6 years time! 
                                                        (I really do ramble,apologies)

Aussie: Haircare Review!

So I've used Aussie for years now,it's the best shampoo and conditioner I've ever tried.Every product smells absolutely amazing and does wonders for my long,super thick hair.

As you can see,I've got quite a collection at the moment so I'll go through each!

                                                            Aussie:Mega Shampoo(£4.49)
So I wash my hair everyday,which I know is apparently bad for your hair,but my hair is so so thick and long so if I leave it for two days it's an absolute mess and greasy.
This shampoo is great,because,as it says on the bottle,it does not build up on your scalp and cause your hair to be greasy 'Myth:shampoos need to be changed often.Fact:only if they build up' It smells so delicious and unlike other shampoos I have tried,it doesn't make the hair at the top of my head flat and limp.

Aussie:Miracle Moist Conditioner(£4.49)
The Aussie Website says 'everyday moisture guaranteed' I use either this conditioner or the Miracle Shine Conditioner.This one contains Macadamia Nut Oil and smells,again,delicious! Although I don't use heat on my hair every day and my hair is in 'great condition' for its' length (hairdressers words,not mine haha!),my hair is naturally quite dry,so this conditioner is perfect and it gives it moisture and my hair is much softer for it.I wouldn't recommend it if you have fairly thin hair though,I think it would be a little heavy,but for average or thick hair,it's brilliant.

Aussie:Miracle Shine Conditioner(£5.99)
All the conditioners that I've tried before such as Pantene,that claim to make your hair super shiny,have never really worked for my hair.I guess they must for some people but my hairs natural texture just isn't soft and shiny.However,I have actually noticed a difference with this conditioner.My hair just looks shinier and healthier,and just looks healthier for it.Another great product.

Aussie:Aussome Volume Conditioner(£5.99)
To be honest,I'm not overly impressed with this product,I just see absolutely no difference in my hair for using it,my hair is thick but not naturally very voluminous so I thought it would maybe give me some volume at my scalp,but hasn't seemed to.I guess it might be because I leave my hair to dry naturally most days so maybe it needed blow drying upside down?I guess it does say for fine,limp hair and my hair isn't fine but I thought it would give me some volume.Anyway,not got much to rave about here.

Aussie: 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor(£4.99)
I really love this product.I probably use it about once every fortnight,and my hair feels so beautiful afterwards. I only get my hair cut about every 4 months(naughty) and think it's been longer than that currently,so I have quite a lot of split ends.I just hate going to the hairdressers after growing it and being back at square one and average length hair,again and again. Anyway,you can leave this on your hair for 1-3 minutes,depending on how much of a drink your hair is in need of! I normally get bored of waiting after 2 minutes so rinse it out then.I only apply if halfway down my hair or lower,as its very moisturising. I think that it makes the ends of my hair much softer and disguises my split ends.I should stop rambling now,overall I love it!This product is also my favourite smelling out of them all.

I've also used the Luscious Long Shampoo and Conditioner,which is great for long hair,but it recently ran out and thought I'd try some others just for a change.


Also,at the moment it's 3 for £10 on all Aussie Haircare at Boots,so go and stock up!

I'm also hoping the purchase their Frizz range and Serum,as sometimes my hair can be a little frizzy.

Bit of a long one today,(an hour and a half has passed,oops!)hope you don't mind and perhaps find it useful?
