Revival Hairdressing, Coleraine

Hey friends...

This week I decided it was time to get the 'mop chopped'.  I tried out Revival Hairdressing in Coleraine, Claire opened Revival back in October last year and after hearing many great things about the salon, and my daughter also having her hair done there, I decided to pay a visit.

The team are: Claire McAuley - Owner/Manager, Jordan Campbell - Stylist and Aimee-Lee Mitchell - Junior/Student.

So really all I wanted was a tidy-up and one of Jordan's imfamous head massages that i'd heard so much about!! (Even if you don't need anything else done, let Jordan wash your hair - when she started her head massage it gave me goose bumps!!)

Claire is not only an extremely talented hairdresser with over 20 years experience in the business but she also has a fabulous eye and will give you great advice.  My trouble is that with short hair i'm never really happy with the back of my hair...it always looks untidy and 'taily' (is that even a word?!?). Claire did a fantastic tidy up and also offered advice on how we would be best to work with it from here on in! As you can see, she did a fantastic job (i forgot to take front pics!!...lol)

Before and After

The salon is an official stockists of the fabulous label.m range which Claire used on my hair.  They also stock the fullest range of Wella haircare as well as Nioxon 3D range.

When Lauryn went for a ombre effect baylage just before Christmas she was also delighted with the results:

So what are you waiting for....call in and see Claire and the girls for a 'new do' and be sure to tell her that I sent you!! She definitely gets a five stars from me!!

Hope you liked my little review and hope you all have a great week. Chat to all next week, Sunday at 6pm (my birthday!! whoop whoop). Have a great week.

Just a little Sunday shopping!! 😄

Hey friends....

So we took a little trip to Boots in the Boucher Crescent Retail Park, as they are the only Boots in NI to have a NYX stand. I have to say....I did some damage! Here's a little look at some of the beauties I got.

Primark Contour Sticks

From Top: Light, Bronze and Shade

NYX Matte Lip Creme

From Top: Abu Dhabi and Istanbul

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick

From Top: Tea and cookies and Soft-Spoken

NYX Matte Lipsticks

From Top: Tea Rose and Maison

NYX Full Throtle Lipstick

Kiss the Dust

Sleek Makeup Highlighting |Palette in Solstice

As you can see...I made a couple of sneaky extra purchases in Primark and at Sleek Makeup...lol

All the products are lovely, the contour sticks blend like a dream for only £3 and the highlighting palette will have you 'shining like a diamond'!!!

Have a great week folks and i'll chat to you all next week...what about I have no idea so if you have any ideas, help a buddy out and comment below.

He-Shi Dark Foaming Mousse Review

Hey friends....so today is a little review on this new tan that I got recently. It was on offer in Gordons Chemist and I have never used this one before so through I would give it a wee try, and share it with you guys.

So the one I got was the He-Shi Dark Foaming Mousse £9.99 reduced from £23 and it included the wee mitt in the box.

 

It applied really easily as you can see below (excuse my knobbly knees!!) Another thing I noticed was that it didn't really smell of anything - both when I was applying it and also when it was developing as I left it overnight.

It developed into a lovely golden colour by next morning and still no offensive  'biscuity' smell!!

 


So all in all, I think I got a great bargain and will definitely repurchase - although I will wait until I see it on offer for £9.99 again or re-stock if this offer is still on.

Another great thing that I noticed was that it faded really evenly too, not at all patchy. 

Hope you found this wee review helpful and I'll chat you again next week.

Barry M Coconut infusion nail polish

HELLO..........long time no chat!!

I have been meaning to start up this blog again for a VERY VERY long time and am determined to sort myself out now and get down to it.  The plan is to publish a new post every Sunday!

Today's blog is all about the new Barry M Coconut Infusion nail polishes.  To say the least....THEY ARE AMAZING!! The colours are stunning, the formula is fabulous and the lasting power is the best i have every tried.

L-R Flamingo, Bikini,Laguna,Aloha

Surfboard, Tiki Hut, Starfish

The blend of coconut oil and coconut water gently hydrates and nourishes nails and leaves the nails looking salon manicured. 

Another thing I noticed about these polishes is when they are removed, my nails are in excellent condition and look the best they have in a very long time. I have been trying to grow my nails for a very long time, which is no mean feat considering that they are destroyed from acrylic and gel nails. I honestly think that these polishes are speeding up the growth.

I bought my polishes in Superdrug on the 3 for 2 offer, priced at £4.99 each. www.superdrug.com. I think that offer is over now but they do have them on Buy One get One half price across the whole Barry M range at the minute.

So anyway...im glad to be back.  Please leave any ideas you would like to see on the blog and i'll speak to you next week.

Cheeky little purchase....www.lovemakeup.com

Hey Guys

I'm back.....after what seems like forever but am gonna make a proper go of this now so please stay tuned!!

So I had a little look through a website I had seen a lot of other bloggers talking about and low and behold they had Real Techniques AND Sigma brushes!!!

Well..it would have been rude not to....

So the brushes I got where the Sigma F80 and P86 and the Real Techniques fine liner brush and the setting  brush.

The F80 is fantastic for buffing out foundation for the most amazing airbrushed look...I LOVE IT!

The P86 I got for concealer and I though the pointed tip would be great for getting right into the corner of the undereyes and this brush did not disappoint either.

The other two brushes I haven't tried yet but stay tuned for a review coming soon.

TTFN (Promise I won't leave it as long next time!)
