Hair Inspiration: The Long Bob ♡


Some like their legs, and some like their eyes. If you know me well, you know that if I were to find myself struggling in a terrible, life-threatening fire, the first thing I’d do is douse my hair in water immediately and conceal it with the first fire-proof object accessible to me. Then I’d start saving people. It’s just that important. Ok, I’m being a little dramatic. But well well well, I have had Hair extensions for about 7 years, and I'm starting to pull away from them and embrace my log Bob, I love this look, its so stunning!
and I'm thinking about getting my hair cut into this style! I'm just head over heels in love with this hair style! 



The must-have haircut these days is the long bob — or “the lob,” as it has been nicknamed. Cut a little below the shoulder, this popular hairstyle is not only effortless and chic, but it also works with every type of hair. This shoulder-grazing cut will put you right on-trend, and make your mornings easier with less time spent styling! Whether you have curly, wavy or straight hair, don’t be afraid to make the big cut this spring!
  

Olivia Palermo - She rocks this look! She always looks so amazing! her locks are just outstanding! If none of you know who olivia is, she was on "The City" with Whittney Port from the MTV Series "The Hills" She is always a Fashion Icon. 

 Julia From Gal Meets Glam - Wow, Isn't she just beautiful? I love her blog she is just stunning, Her hair in all of her pictures she is such an inspiration and blogs about the most amazing things I can't get enough of her!

Kerry Washington - Wow, she is so beautiful! she is rocking the long bob, and making it pop with the most perfect purple lipstick! and I'm loving the front fringe with the bob as well! she is just so delightful to look at.

Julia Stegner - Julia is a German Model, and she is just stunning, I love seeing her photos she just takes the best pictures and always look beyond amazing! She is just flawless! and she rocks the long bob hair style she is definitely in my top bob list, she is just beyond amazing! I can't say anymore just ahhhhh! she is just lush!

Box No. 216 Anabelle's Hair Transformation - Wow, this was posted on box 216 I love there blog! this photo was posted and It's the perfect long ombre bob I have ever seen It is just such a nice cut and colour!

This photo from Backstage at Dries Van Noten, Spring 2013 has me craving a neutral eye and a popping pink lip to ring in Spring, Isn't this model just jaw dropping! I love her hair so so so much!

Coachella 2014 Fashion Trends! ♡

Hey Dolls, 
How are you all? Sorry I have been so MIA I have had so much going on lately! I haven't had the time! I'm so sorry! But I'm back in action! 
So here I have something different, But I have been obsessing over the Fashion that the celebs have had going on at this years Coachella! 
What is Coachella, you ask?  The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly known simply as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual two-weekend, three-day music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. It was founded by Paul Tollett in 1999 and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Live. The event features many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music. The main stages are: Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Gobi Tent, Mojave Tent, and the Sahara Tent; a smaller Oasis Dome was used in 2006 and 2011, while a new Yuma stage was introduced in 2013.
Like a dream right? I would have done anything to go to it! It just looked like so much fun it's were I would have rather been! 
Any who, So lets get into this! It was so hard to decided who's fashion for the days to talk about so I have included all my favourites! 
 Alessandra Ambrosio
Let's just say wow? Isn't she just dreamy! Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio really went for the festival vibe and ended up as one of the best dressed celebrities at Coachella 2014. From shorts that showed off her beautiful legs to print matching and gorgeous nail art, Alessandra channeled her inner wild child and pulled off quite a few great looks for the festival! I cant get over how fabulous she looked! Rocking Cow Boy boots for two of the days! Loving the cowboy boot style!


Katy Perry
 Showing off her new green hair, Katy Perry arrived at Coachella in a white gypsy top and a palm tree print skirt, but also showed off one of the biggest music festival staples, the crop top. Unlike other celebrities, Katy didn’t want to show off her looks on social media and even tweeted: “Dear festival friends remember selfing is a disease.”
I have always loved katy's style it's so different and actually really stylish! I'm loving the green hair it suits her so well! she definitely can pull off these crazy hair colours! 
Kendall Jenner 
Kendall showed off thigh and belly in denim shorts and a cropped top, accessorizing with cowboy boots and a sleeveless duster, And she looked fab! Then bringing gothic back with sister Kylie Wearing a lace cape with black booty shorts and a crop!
Kendall once again opted for denim cut-offs and a white tube top worn with comfy Converse sneakers. That all took a backseat to the GIANT nose ring (fake, probably) that she was sporting.
It was bigger than her actual nose!
Way to make a statement, girl!


Kylie Jenner
They also dabled in more risky trends, from black lace to... bejeweled fanny packs, but their winning looks were the simpler, less flashy ones. Kylie rocked a print tank with tiny shorts that were barely visible under her top with black ankle boots, a fanny pack, and a Pharrell-style hat! We saw the sisters take a gothic turn, both wearing black shorts and strapless tops! But they both looked beyond great the whole time defenitly dipping into the hippie, hipster tend which they pull off so well! 

Nicky & Paris Hilton
 Channeling their inner hippies, Nicky and Paris Hilton attended the Coachella 2014 festival is colorful prints. While Nicky went for a shorter dress, Paris chose a maxi dress and both rocked fierce sunglasses. They weren’t as trendy as other celebrities, but still checked the festival style essentials in a cool way.

Rita Ora
 In a stunning Roberto Cavalli Fall 2014 gown, Rita Ora threw away all the rules and still managed to become one of the best dressed celebrities at Coachella 2014. Her after dark festival look consisted of a sheer black gown worn over black panties and a nude bra with a cool red lip


Selena Gomez
Going for the sheer trends, Selena Gomez rocked Coachella in a Daisy Chemical crochet dress worn over another staple of Festival Fashion, denim shorts. The singer worse Free People Shark Bite denim cutoff shorts and completed her look with Steven Madden boots, a Starting At The Stars panama hat and a cute bindi on her forehead.

 Poppy & Cara Delevigne
Hosting her Popchella party, Poppy Delevigne mixed high fashion with festival style and ended up as one of the best dressed celebrities at Coachella 2014. Rocking a headband and hot pants, Poppy looked amazing, while her sister, supermodel Cara Delevigne, went for denim cut offs and a customized “Popdogs Hen” Markus Lupfer white tee

Everyday Skin Routine ♡

 
Hey Guys, so I really wanted to share my skin care routine with all of you because it has been working for me really well and I’m really enjoying doing this every morning and night! All of these products are under $20 so it’s really good if you’re on a budget! You can pick these product’s up from your local Priceline! Now I have never had the best skin, I have combination skin, so depending on the weather if it’s cold I have very dry and sensitive and when it is hot I have oily skin! But 90% of the time I’m oily in my T zone and I have a dry forehead and chin!  Plus dealing with the monthly breakouts which I can’t stand and I have some blackhead that pop up every now and then, so I really like to cleanse and scrub my skin to get in the right shape! I feel like I have tried every product under the skin! From proactive to Dermalogica, I used dermalogica for about 6 months when I studied my beauty therapy course and my skin hated it, it just made me brake out! I worked for Proactive for almost 2 years, and personally I would recommend Proactive for people with savvier acne, some products are fine for people who don’t but the products are very strong! So I really have had my fair share of skin care products! So this routine is really working for me at the moment and I rally recommended these products for people who go through the same problems I do with skin!   


So I first thing I do before anything is, I remove any eye makeup I have left on my face from the day with Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water! I’m really enjoying this product, it removes all my eye makeup and mascara! ( I have already done a product review which can be found here product review - micellar cleansing water)
How I use this product:
I Use an oversized cotton paid drenched with the cleansing water and I hold it on my eye for 20 seconds and wipe away all the makeup with one wipe! I continue this on both eyes twice to make sure all product from my eyes is removed.

This is the Sukin Foaming facial Cleanser and the Revitalising Facial Scrub
Now I'm LOVING these two products I can't get enough of them! these products are only $9.99 in priceline and I think that is a bargan! I have already re-purchaed these and they have really helped clean my skin up! 

 Foaming Facial Cleanser
Lightly foaming and sulphate and paraben free.
This sulphate free wash is a  gentle, non drying cleanser that  remove impurities leaving your skin feeling soft, clear and clean. Combines chamomile, aloe vera, witch hazel and green tea with macadamia and evening primrose oils to purify and balance your skin.
 Suitable for all skin types especially oily and sensitive.
Perfect right? 

How i use it: 
In the shower i pump a small pump into my hands and rub this all over my face eyes and down my neck for a even better cleanse then I will rub my face gently until foaming then rinse off

Revitalising Facial Scrub
This gentle creamy treatment promotes healthy skin circulation, refining texture and smoothness, leaving clean radiant skin.
This is a  gentle cleanser and uses non-abrasive, micro particles of bamboo extract and ground walnut shells to remove dirt and impurities leaving clean, radiant skin. Aloe vera and chamomile work to soothe skin and rose hip, jojoba and sesame replenish and protect the skin’s moisture barrier.

How I use it:
Squirting a decent amount of product in my hands and in circular motion starting on my checks and then my skin and dispensing it all over my face and scrub down my neck, and then rinse.





My skin can be very sensitive at times and I really enjoy toning my face I feel refreshed and smooth after using a toner! But because of my sensitive skin I can't use alot of toners because it burns my skin and just hurts like a bitch! but I'm really enjoying this toner its light and just so nice and doesn't burn my skin!

Simple soothing Facial Toner
100% alcohol free and pH balanced formula refreshes your skin without drying it. Simple Soothing Facial Toner best prepares your skin for applying moisturizer.

How i use it:
Apply a decent amount of a cotton paid and apply all over my face.



 When I first moved to Sydney in 2012 i worked a Proactive for about a year or two! and I enjoyed it so much it's a great company! but I believe the product should only be for people who have extremely bad acne! It has got alot of peroxide in the Products! but most products I do use and love! and this is one of them I have really been enjoying for a spot treatment!

Advanced Blemish Cream

Tip: For a stubborn pimple, apply this first. 

The Advanced Blemish Cream is fantastic. If I have one little zit, it just dries it out and makes it go away. It's like magic. Concentrated Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) penetrates pores to clear the blemish. Allantoin, panthenol absorb excess oil, soothe irritation and moisturise the skin. It dries invisible. Packaged in a "take anywhere" handy tube.

 How I use it :
After I have done all my toning and skin care, I use the tiniest bit of this on any breakouts! and just let it dry and BAMB Pimple gone. 


So because my skin is very and and sensative I have been trying to find some hydrating products for it and I heard alot of good things about rose hip oil from Sukin and beacause I was already using the other products I decided to use the Sukin brand Rose hip and at priceline they had the rose hip and the mouisture restoring night cream together for $20.00 when the night cream is $20.00 and then Rose Hip is $23.00 so I got a pretty good deal! I had My eye on a night cream for my skin that wouldn't make it red and rashy like others do! and I'm really loving this!

Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil 25ml
Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins to soothe, soften and hydrate skin.
100% Certified Organic and one of Sukin's best selling products.
