Christmas card diy board

     Hey guy, sorry i haven't been blogging again recently, but you know how it is around Christmas, busy, busy, busy.

     I thought I would share my idea with you guys,  I started this last week to store my Christmas cards, instead of having them all over my room. 

    Things you will need:

- An old painting,

- some paint, I used Annie Solan white chalk paint,

- A painting brush,

- Sandpaper 

- string and pegs, I used a sting with birds on there already,

- A Christmas sign,

- scissors

- ribbon  

- Drawing pins.

     Firstly lie newspaper or an old sheet on the floor, so you dont get any paint on the floor . Lie the painting flat onto the floor. You might also want to wear a pair of gloves and some old clothes so you don't get yourself in a mess. 

     Then go on to start painting, do one even layer of paint all over. Wait around 1 or two hours depending on how quick the paint dries. Then go on to do the second coat of paint.

     Then wait for the paint to dry completely and a even amount of paint all over. I got some sandpaper and lightly rubbed down the corners of the picture, to get the orginal colour of the frame to come through, to give it an old look. I did this all over the frame to give it that old feel, but try not to get too carried away with it, as it will look abit over-done.

     Using drawing pins, pin the string into the painting at what ever level you want. I started at the top with the merry Christmas sign, then went on to do two more rows. If you are using string and pegs, just pin on the string, then put on the pegs. My string already had pegs on so I was okay, but it is just as easy to put on the pegs. You maybe also want to cut the string to size to make it look neater. 

     Your board should start to look a bit more like Christmas now. I finished the board of with a nice ribbon bow at the top to compete the board. 

     Then your board should look a little something like this . You could also but fairy lights on the board to make it even more like Christmas ! 

     Hope you enjoyed this blog, and I wish you all merry Christmas. Please send your picture to me on my twitter, I'm always interested to see how you guys got on.

Maybelline gel eyeliner

     Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted for a while, but you know what it's like this kind of year with Santa coming soon!

     So I picked up this eyeliner last week in boots, "maybelline gel eyeliner". This is suppose to stay on for up to 24 hours. In my head I thought no chance, but I gave it a go. This eyeliner did in fact last all day long, I put it on at 8am for work and when I went to bed at 11pm it was still in tact. No smudges. Also this eyeliner is very black, which is good and some of the gel liners only go on lightly. 

 

     It also comes with a brush, which is very easy to use. Basically you just put a little bit of liner on the brush and in one stroke it is done. Very quick and efficient and for just £6 it is a very good bargain. I have been using this for a few weeks now and it does not seem to be going down, so I think it will last a good amount of time. Also there is a smudged on the opposite end of the application brush, but I haven't used it. As I am not really sure what to do with it. If any of you know how to use this smudge brush please let me know.

So here is a picture of me wearing the gel liner, and as you can see it is a very intense black. 

     I will defiantly be using this a lot, but I will mostly use it at night time, as it looks a bit dramatic for the day time. But overall a great product and if you are new to gel eyeliners, this is a great product to give a try, with due to it being very affordable and very easy to apply.

Thanks for reading guys,

Bella Pieree

Hey guys, so today I am going to blog about Bella Pierre mineral eyeshadow. I got this eyeshadow in one of my Love Me Beauty Box's, which I no longer have due to it being the same thing every month.  Before receiving this eyeshadow in the beauty box I must say that I had never heard of the brand before. As it was a mineral eyeshadow I was very excited to give it a try. And I was most defiantly impressed. 

The shade which I have is called "Lava", which is a lovely gold colour. This eyeshadow is great and you only need to use the tiniest bit to cover your eyelid! The eyeshadow last's all day long and does not smudge. I will defiantly buy this brand again and can't wait to use it around Christmas time! 

This is what the eyeshadow looked like ....

Thanks for reading :)

Tresemme platinum strength

    Hey guys, so I know that there are a lot of shampoos out there and I have pretty much tried the lot! Well within reason. But recently I used some of my friends shampoo, Tresemme platinum strength and from the very first use I love it!  Even the way it lathers in your hair feels nice, also you don't need to use too much either to cover your hair, just a small squirt in the palm of your hand. I have very long hair. I have been using both the shampoo and conditioner and I am 100% satisfied that it does exactly as it says. This is that the shampoo and conditioner used together visibly repairs your hair for up to 2 years worth of damage. Which is pretty impressive. I do dye my hair an awful lot so my hair has most defiantly had a lot of damage done to it.

        

     So, I have been using this shampoo just short of two weeks and I wash my hair most days. My hair is feeling a lot softer and it feels as though it has more bounce, more volume and it defiantly looks like it has more life. I would 100% recommend this shampoo to anyone that has there hair dyed regularly. 

     My hair is now also a lot easier to comb, as usually it is very notty due to my hair being dry, but now that I have used this shampoo, it is a lot easier to comb and not much of my hair is actually coming out on my comb, so that is a plus! 

   Also at the moment I have seen that it is half price in Boots at just £2.63 a pot! 

Which is a bargain for Tresemme. I have done my stocking up! 

Why don't you give it a try? For £2.62 what have you got to loose. 

     Give it a try and let me know what you think, or if you know a even better shampoo give me a comment I love to try new products. 

Thanks
