Should it stay or should it go now?

Hey all.
Hope you have all been good.
I am sorry I haven't been around but I have been in the process of moving house and had to wait quite a while to get the internet put in.

So a short post to ease us back in and this involves a trivial matter of the hair kind.
The last time you saw me my hair was blonde but I have got to the stage recently where it was starting to look really brassy and a bit dull.
So I decided to dye my hair brown.

However like any impulse decision I'm not sure if I did the right thing.

So I have a blonde hair dye ready and waiting (Because I panicked and brought both colours)
So has my regular readers you will be deciding whether I should stick with brown or go back to blonde.

So here are some pictures to help you decide.

Here is me with blonde hair and this is the last recent photo of me taken with blonde hair.


And this is me with recently dyed brown hair.


So now it's decision time.
You can either comment which I should colour I should go for below the post or if your on twitter you can just tell me there @squiffany

So go on decide my fate.
:)

Twitter swap with Beauty Boudoir.

So after a bit of time away I am back to blogging and it's only fair that my first post is long overdue one.

Several weeks ago me and Miss A from Beauty Boudoir did a product swap. 
I sent her some lovely Lush goodies and this is what I got in return.

Seriously I have never been so excited by a parcel.
So in the package was:

Label M peppermint hair treatment.
Myface cosmetics lip gloss No133
Rituals eyeshadow in Rose Petal
Rituals nail varnish in Sapphire Moon.

Now I have had time to try them I can tell you all about them.
The Label M peppermint hair treatment is now one of my new favourite products. I have really thin/oily hair and I find some hair treatments leave my hair too soft and lank. So I can't style or do anything with my hair but Label M made my hair soft and silky so it didn't weigh it down plus the peppermint even helped my oily hair. 
The best bit though was how it made your head tingle and in this mini heatwave we are having in the UK this week it was a treat. 

Now I have never tried any of the Rituals range before so I was excited to receive two of their products. 
Now blue is my favourite colour so to receive the Sapphire moon varnish was amaze. 
It's a very dark navy blue and although thick to apply, did leave a lovely shine. 
The only issue I found was that it did stain my nails but luckily a better nail varnish remover cleared that up.
 

The Rituals eyeshadow is a gorgeous pale pink. Perfect for the daytime. In fact it's so good I have even been using it has a blush/highlighter. Multi tasking products are always a win. 

Again I have never tried any Myface products. Now I'm very fair (Blonde hair, blue eyed and uber pale), so it was nice to be able to try the fair range. Now I always wear lip gloss. So I was looking forward to trying this. Now it's not has thick as my other lip glosses which meant a lot of reapplying. Not good on a night out but I did love the colour and it had just a hint of sparkle.
Now a sign of a good beauty product is if it ends up in my make up bag, which this did. So a big seal of approval from me.


By the way you should definitely check out Miss A's beauty blog. Mainly because it's one of the best beauty blogs out there and Miss A reviews of products are honest and a complete joy to read. 
Plus she's my Canberra Milk kid (In joke there) 

You can check out Miss A's blog here. 

The website for all the products are here.

BIOeffect EGF Serum: Review

Hey bloggers.
Long time no speak.

I promise that I have been busy preparing lots of lovely new beauty posts for the next few weeks.
This is just one of many reviews that are coming up.

Now a few months ago I talked about how great serums were and how I have started to incorporate them into my skin care routine.
You can read the post here.
http://getyourglitterout.blogspot.com/2011/02/serums-yay-or-nay.html

Well a few weeks ago I got sent this.
BIOeffect EGF Serum.















It claims that.

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is a next-generation anti-ageing serum that improves the appearance and health of your skin by encouraging the skin to repair its own cells. Its key ingredient is Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a substance which occurs naturally in human skin and which has the ability to speed up the rate of cell turnover within the skin.

Cellular activators are proteins that are vital for the maintenance and repair of skin cells. With age the level of these cellular activators within our skin decreases. Our skin renews itself less frequently, and begins to look less radiant and more wrinkled. Regular, once or twice daily use of BIOEFFECT EGF Serum reverses this process and gives visible dramatic improvements within weeks.

Well I may be in my mid twenties but anything that claims to make my skin look fresher and even younger. I will happily use.
The smell of BIOeffect was lovely just a clean, fresh smell. So it didn't effect any of the smells of my other beauty products. The consistency was a cross between a water and gel base.















What I loved about BIOeffect Serum was how little you needed and it was so moisturising that I didn't even need to use a night cream on top and when I woke up there was no residue on my face. A sign that it properly soaked into my skin. 

Now in the month that I used the BIOeffect serum, I didn't get any compliments on my skin but I personally think my skin looked fresher, more renewed and some lines softened.

But sadly one problem occurs with BIOeffect Serum.
The price. 
I had a 3ml size and it should of been £30. 
The full size of 15ml is £125!

Now I can barely afford my bus fare these days.
So £125 for a serum is downright outrageous, especially in a time of recession. 

So sadly until I find a rich man.
BIOeffect EGF Serum will be staying on the shelf. 

Which is a shame because I would recommend it to anyone. 
How ever if you do have a bit of cash. It is worth the investment.

You can get it here.

Sleek pout paints review.

Anyone who reads my blog posts will know I am not the biggest fan of my lips. 
Lets just say I wasn't blessed in the Angelina Jolie department.



















So the combination of a thin top lip has always made me quite wary of lipstick (Especially bright coloured lipstick). So I usually tend to stick to lip gloss to make my lips seem bigger. 
But for the last few weeks I have heard a lot of buzz around Sleek pout paints.
Which are heavily pigmented lip colours that can be mixed together to create your own customized lip colour.



And after waiting an age for them to appear in the shops.
I found one. 

I tried 154 in Mauve over.
Which is a beautiful pinky/purple. 



What I love about pout paints is how little you need to use and you can build up the depth of colour has you go. 

Not only can you mix Pout paints with other colours of pout paints.
You can use other lip gloss colours to create a colour unique to you.

The downsides to pout paints are that they take ages to dry resulting in things like this happening.


And because it has a nib instead of a brush, it's hard to get a perfect finish which for my thin lips. I really need.

But the colour takes ages to wear off and in the last few days my pout paint has gave me plenty of compliments by friends on my new make up. 
Plus by mixing it with lip gloss I have had a different lip look everyday with just a £5 lipstick.
Surely here the pro's very much outweigh the cons. 



You can buy Sleek from Superdrug or at Sleek online.
