Everyone does it differently!


If your a big blog reader, youtube watcher or if you write blogs yourself you will know there's a vast sea of reviews and make up tutorials.

We all see a look in a magazine we love or  on a blog and we want to know how to achieve this look.
But remember everyone does things differently.  
One person might use the most expensive MAC stipple brush while another person might use an ordinary sponge or even their fingers.
Someone might put medical tape on their face while creating a new clean eye shadow look or someone else might cover the edges with concealer instead while creating exacily the same style and look. 

Someone might use a lip brush to apply lipstick while another might just use it straight from the stick.
And none beauty related --- if you love a lot of tea, someone might pour their tea before taking the tea bag out and another might take the tea bag out first then pour the milk (Cray-Cray!!)

This means everyone's individual and they know how it might seem strange to you but its how they are used to doing these things and are comfortable with them.
So next time you see someone using a crazy looking brush to do a make up technique, remember that's how they are comfortable doing it!
 Practice at using different tools and use different techniques and try new things!
After all that's why they are tutorials!

What do i do?
I use the lipstick straight from the stick, unless its a dark colour then i use a brush to line my lips first then fill them in with the colour.
You might of been using a sponge to blend in your make up but then if you use a different brush you wouldn't of thought would work but does? YEY!
I still don't know what a lot of my make up brushes are exacily used for...but when i use them they do the job :D!

What do you find you use differently to others?

Tangle teezer extraordinaire

Girls with long hair. ....suffer no more! Help is at hand!

I have very very long hair and girls with long hair, will sympathise. When brushing your hair in the morning, after a shower and a very windy day the easiest thing,  it seems is to get some scissors and cut your hair!!
It's awful the amount of pulling and what feels like scalping you have to do to have your hair feels silky smooth and knot free.

I once thought -oh so romantically- that it would be a good idea to have my boyfriend comb my hair after I'd washed it. I love the feeling of someone playing with my hair.
Unfortunately my boyfriend had never combed wet hair or any long hair for that matter and put the comb at my roots and pulled down. ......ensue pain, pulling and scalping.  Let's just say I haven't let him near my hair at all since.  

I saw the tangle teezer on various blogs and vlogging videos before and it just seemed like one of those must have items.
It sat in my basket on amazon for what seemed like 4 months or so before I walked past a hair salon in Lincoln who actually stocked them!!!!
Let's just say I ran into that shop to buy one!!!
As soon as I got it home I pretty much destroyed the packaging to see how it felt running through my hair.

You have to try it girls! It's amazing.
It doesn't pull as harshly as a regular brush or comb would.
It's neat design means it fits snuggly into your hand.
Your hair feels silky smooth and knot free after! 
They come in array of colours from Orange, black,  pink, blue and on and on.
Girls.......get this item and you will throw away all your old hair brushes.

Let me know what you think if you have only just bought it or have been using them for a long time!
