I was sent these limited edition false nails from elegant touch a few weeks back and was eager to see what they would look like. The whole idea of ombre hair was kind of put into these nails and i guess they were styling but i wasn't loving the colour designs. Once receiving them they looked very metallic, just not the sort of things i would really go for. The colours were quite bold and dark where as i prefer pastel bright colours. Regardless of my taste on them i decided to put them on and see if they looked any better...

They were better on but did kinda remind me of a witch's hand haha! I think somebody more tanned could probably pull them off better than me but on a positive note they were soooooo easy to put on! Like i mean ridiculously easy! I have never applied false nails with glue so fast in my life and they stayed on quite well too! I think these are one of my favourite brands for false nails but the design of these weren't to my taste, maybe if they brought different colours out!

I have never ever used a primer before and must admit, i didn't know what it really did until i read about a few months ago on what it does! After finding out all the things it claims to do i really wanted to try one out! One that had been recommended to me was Witch's Primer. This claimed to not only make your make up stay in placed but also protect the skin from the causes of blemishes. 

It's a white/clear coloured product which is slightly thick. You need the tiniest amount ever to apply on your face as it spreads really easily. I was put off by the thickness as i didn't feel it would sink in to my skin but i was wrong. 

Once rubbing it in it was barely noticable! If anything it left my face feeling refreshed and dewy. I have combination/oily skin and was worried it would make my face look even more shiny but it didn't suprisingly! It doesn't really have a noticable smell, i did find that it kept my make up throughout the day but i'm not sure with spots. I mean i did get the occasional few but my face was pretty clear compared to a few weeks ago when it was terrible! I really like using this product instead of a moisturiser underneath my make up, i would definatly carry on buying this product!

So just over a week okay i got sent the Pantene Spa Inspired Range. My hair was pretty disgusting, i havn't had it cut for about a year so it's quite dry and dull with millions of split ends. I don't want to cut it even though that would be the best option so instead i decided to try out some of the Pantene range including their treatments to see if they could make my hair look less like a broom. 

The shampoo and condition i tried first on it's own. It has quite an elegant professional packaging which i find appealing. With the shampoo i 'lathered' twice, for the conditioner it said to apply it from your roots to ends which is quite strange for me as i normally apply it to the mid-length and ends. But anyway i did what it said and i was pleased the results, it didn't make my hair overly greasy the next day and once i blow dried my hair it was gleaming all over. The price of them each is £2.19 which i think is reasonable!

I then tried the Pantene Intensive Treatment. I had to apply it after i shampooed and conditioned, wait for 3-5 minutes then rinse it off. The only thing i didn't really like was getting out of the shower, applying it, waiting in the cold and getting back in. Although the results made up for it, this does make my hair that extra bit 'silky smooth'. For £3.99 i feel it's a reasonable price as the pot is quite big and you only need a little bit on your hair! I also wouldn't use it all the time i wash my hair, maybe just for when i'm going out in the evening or something.

Lastly the Panten Frizz Fight. This is my favourite treatment out of the 2 as all you need to do is apply it to your hair and then dry it like normal! It's so easy, quick, and just as good maybe even better than the Intensive Treatment. Thiis is £3.99 too but it's only 50ml. Although if i was to choose between the treatment's i would pick this one.

I've been using the range for about a week and a half now and my hair is feeling really healthy, silky and smooth. I never thought too much about shampoo's as i assumed they all do the same but this range has proved me wrong!

Now as you can see, it really is beautifully wrapped. With a gigantic red bow (you can choose what colour) it really does look special. If you're bad at wrapping or anything this box literally is delivered and is ready to give away straight away. 

Also inside is nicely presented with various chocolate's and fudge's all individually wrapped. It also had some scrunchy black decorative stuff in but i took that out so you could see the chocolate.

Now down to the chocolate, i'm not a massive fan of fudge so my mum helped me judge this one! They were extremely sweet. After eating 2 it was very easy to put the box back down (which is a good thing i guess). I feel they would be great if you fancied a little nibble. Now depending if the person you're buying for is a really big fan of fudge then maybe this box would be perfect for them but for me and my mum it was too much. 

I'de probably buy from them again but chose a different content like this as i know what they taste like and i prefer them over fudge and chocolate. Beautifully packaged and presented and a really good range of gifts.

The other day i recieved these short and sweet eyelashes from Girls with Attitude. Now i can honestly say i'm a complete false eyelash virgin yet have always been quite eager. I used to opt for longer ones and fuller ones as i said to myself, if i'm paying for them i may as well make a big difference, but those eyelashes were way too over the top so i never really ended up wearing them anywhere! These ones are called short and sweet and are the perfect length for me, they are slightly longer than my real eye lashes and actually do make them look a lot fuller. 

So these are my eye lashes with just one coat of Collection 2000's Supersize Mascara. 

This is with the short and sweet false eye lashes one and 1 coat of mascara on top. 

Pros: They were surprisingly easy to put on as they came with a little brush to help apply the glue. They stayed on fully and i really liked how they created the effect that i have eye liner on which is something i wear everyday.  They really did make my lashes look fuller and blended in really well. Also really comfy to wear!

Cons: I wasn't too sure on the material, it kinda reminded me of a broom's bristles but not as stiff. The lashes nearer the nose wouldn't really curl up no matter how many times i tried to curl them. 

Apart from a few little things, i think i have found my perfect false eyelashes!
