The Kesha look.

Hey Bloggers
Hope you have had a great day.

As anyone who reads or follows the blog knows, Today I had to dress up has Kesha for work.
I know quite a few people were eager to see the results.
Now I changed my make up idea at the last minute.
Mainly so I could get on the bus to work without fear of being completely ridiculed.

So eye make up.
I used my Urban decay palette for this goth/rocker look.
I used Uzi (white on all the lid and then added Loaded (Dark green) and put the beautiful psychedelic sister (Deep dairy milk purple) on top of that to help build up the layers and give a more grunge feel to the eyes.

I then finished off the look with Urban Decay eyeliner in Ransom under the eyes.
Barry M liquid eyeliner and some pencil eyeliner on the waterline.
Plus some Avon supershock mascara for dramatic lashes.

For the nails I decided to clash the purple of my eyes with a emerald green nail varnish.
I used Barry M number 284.
I love this colour and this time I remembered a base coat. :)

This is what I looked like when I got on the bus this morning.
It took a lots of backcombing to get my fringe that high.
I take my hat off to Jedward doing that everyday.
So full of costume jewellery and more rips and tears to my clothes then you can shake a stick at.
I toddled off to work.
This last part of my make up had to be done there.
(Yes I have just realised that you can see my torso of the week of Jenson Button in the background. A fit fail there)

Now I know in this photo there is two things which make me look bad.
One: The light in the bathroom at work does make me look green.
and two: This is the most serious pose I have ever done. I also look a bit deranged. But it's the best photo to show the whole look.
I just added some blue eyeshadow to my lips to finish off the Kesha make up look.
I hopefully looked OK.
Fingers crossed.

Just one word of warning.
If you do try this look at home.
You will need a long bath to wash off all the glitter.

And you will need to use a hair mask on your hair.
Because this will have to be tamed.

It's not a disguise its a mask.

Hey Bloggers.
Hope you have all had a great week.
It's been a busy week for me but I finally have the time to do a properly written blog post.

So this week I have mainly been using hair masks.
Now even with the oil slick that is my hair, sometimes it needs a really good condition.
Especially because I damage my hair with heat and lots of chemicals with all the bleaching and hair dye I use.

So once a week or once every fortnight I like to give my hair a break and treat it.

This week I have three of the top masks you should try out.

If you have oily or slightly greasy hair.
The Avon conditioning yogurt mask is a god send.
It contains lots of citrus fruits including kiwi, which make your hair soft but doesn't overload the hair making it more greasy.

This is because citrus fruit tends to eradicate oil, so you don't end up making your hair more oily.
What I love about this mask (apart from the yummy smell) is that you don't need to use much, so it lasts for ages and being Avon it's an absolute bargain too.
At the moment it's just £1. What a bargain especially in the recession.

As you can see from the tub I use this one a lot.
So next time you get the Avon book, have a try.

For dry hair or flaky scalps.
Hair doctor from Lush has to be your choice.
It is a fresh mask so you keep it in the fridge, mainly because there are no preservatives so it will go off.

It's a herbal treatment so when you put it on, it makes your scalp tingle (Which is lovely because you feel like it's working).
It is packed full of lots of softening ingredients like almond oil and coconut oil so any dry hair on your head soon won't be so dry.

The ingredient that makes it tingle is the peppermint oil. Peppermint is also an anti fungal treatment so will heal dry, dandruff or flaky scalps.
After using this my hair was so soft and it even healed a patch of exzema that I had on my scalp too.

For Normal hair.
Then you have to go for the classic, Dove silk intensive treatment.
Makes you hair smell amazing and it doesn't overload your hair.
When my hair was having a good day this is the one I always used.
It really does make your hair like silk.
It is also a great mask if you use lots of styling products and struggle to brush your hair if you have knots and tangles.
I use it if I back comb my hair too much.
So after my back comb madness today I think I will have to get out the Dove. :)

Kids remember don't back comb your hair this big (Unless you live in 1985) or you will need the Dove mask to tame it again.
:):):)
Bad hair times.

Feel free to comment or tell me if you have used any hair masks.
Were they good/bad?
Let me know
