M.A.C. Palette - Angel Flame

Today's post is based around one of my M.A.C pieces that I picked up recently. That is the quad eyeshadow palette in Angel Flame.






















Over the last few years I haven't been wearing eyeshadows that much, actually not at all. I don't know why I remember having a little collection of them when I was younger. I must have used, lost or throw some away. But I decided I want a palette to start of my collection again and I couldn't do it better with trustworthy M.A.C.

 There are so many quads to choose from, from blues to naturals. Too my knowledge I think this palette is Limited Edition! They also sell empty containers so you can make your own in your favourite shades. This palette I picked out personally because it had a bit of everything in it to kick start me off.

The first shade is called Chamomile it is a off white colour very pretty for a spring/summer weather look or for anyone who doesn't wear much make up and likes to keep it light and in the natural shade range.


 The second shade is called Angel Flame (also name of the palette) is a orangey gold colour that I love and is my favourite out of the 4. I love to wear this as a blend with a darker colour to create a sexy smokey fire look, which also makes my hazel eyes to appear lighter.


The lovely third shade named Feather Pink is a really girly and feminine colour, the colour looks really deep and vibrant sitting in the case but it actually has a really delicate and tender paleness to it as it lays on the lids. You can add any colour to it and it will still look so feminine and gorgeous. 


Last but not least is Gravel. A dark and mysterious shade!! Again would look amazing with a orange colour for that fire eyed look. Also a shade everyone has in there makeup bags. Dark grey and blacks are perfect for looking mysterious and sexy. Great for dates and nights out.

Pretty Little Liars - Season 4 Finale

Today I'm going to talk about the season 4 finale of pretty little liars. 
This episode reveals what happened the night of Alison DiLaurentis disappearce, from the very first episode there was so many unanswered questions and mystery's of what happened that night. In this episode (A is for Answers) reveals some of them.
So we know from the first Halloween special (The First Secret) Ali began to receive messages and gifts from - A.
Desirably wanting to find out who was sending her these terrifying messages, so she began to make a plan to cross suspects of her 'who is A? List'.
Which also brings us to that night!

So there is a recap of what happened that night and her many meetings on the way.

Alison's first flash back begins with Ian the morning of the day she went missing, when Melissa arrives and confronts Ian about Alison they both begin to argue. Alison is left alone and start's to copy Ian’s hard drive when she finds a video of Jenna and Toby’s sexual relationship.. Alison receives a new text message from A saying that A is going to Kill her while in the middle of intimidating Jenna about the video involving her and her stepbrother. Which meant Jenna was of course wasn't A, which meant she would be cross of the A list.

When Alison returned home from her encounter with Jenna she got yet another threat from A written with
red lipstick on her dressing table mirror. That night Alison and her mother Jessica got in a fight because she didn't want her daughter going out with her friends especially a Hastings. Alison takes 3 of her mother's sleeping pills from her handbag while she is talking with someone on the phone. She meets the girls at the barn and slips some of the pills into their drinks, hoping to cross them off the list if another A threat arrived. She met with Toby that night and said she knew he wasn't A, either.

Ezra pulls up and Alison gets in the car. Ezra was mad because he'd just discovered she lied about her age and was indeed in high school. He says he won't see her anymore and cut of contact with her.

 
Alison then met Ian at the kissing rock and threatened him with his videos that if she gets another A text she's sending him to jail. He warns her and says "them videos could bring everybody down, including your family."


Alison returned to the girls and found a crazy looking Spencer waiting for her. Spencer and Alison argue. Spencer picks up a shovel and tries to hit her but then falls to the ground. Alison sees Spencer's speed pills that had also fell along with her and follows her. Spencer sobs and begs Alison not to tell anybody. Alison promises to keep it between the two. Later on that night she sees Byron and tells him she has the tapes.

Alison didn't receive any more A texts that night, but returns home to find her mother staring out the window. Alison gets hit on the head with a rock while her mother looks on. Jessica is seen shoveling dirt over Alison, who she maybe thought was dead.  Alison heard her mother say "what have you done?" which means Jessica was trying to protect somebody. Alison got pulled out from the dirt by Mrs Grunwald who then put her into her car and headed for the hospital, while Mrs Grunwald went for help Alison left the hospital alone and Mona found her wobbling down a dark and empty road. They went to a motel under a fake name, Vivian Darkbloom, and Mona thinks that perhaps Alison should let A think she's dead by disappearing. 


 Mona puts her to sleep and goes next door to her "A headquarters" while in there she is seen humming and brushing a doll's hair saying "Such a pretty, pretty girl". The next morning Alison thanks Mona for saving her life. She tells Mona things to do to make her popular and leaves. Alison tells the girls in present day that Mona "played me like a fool."



That was just the things we learn thought the flash backs. I think there's still a lot to learn like 'who tried to kill her?' 'who is the new A? '.
If you haven't watched it yet or your catching up I won't say anymore.

A H&M Wedding?

Anyone getting married this summer?

So H&M are bringing out a wedding dress at the end of March, ready for the summer wedding season.
At the retail price at only £60, I say it looks like a great deal for anyone looking for a cheap wedding dress or picking one up at the last minute.
It's great that high street are ranging out and selling theses dresses at such a great and affordable price, I no that I will be probably getting mine from a high street store as we are not a big fan of spending thousands of pounds on just one day, average weddings now cost up to £18,000.

I would like to see more dresses in the H&M range, I would love to see something with more fabrics and something more lacier as I think lace is so feminine, pretty and so classy on wedding dresses.

Not just H&M, other high street shops have sold or selling them. Topshop had a range back in 2012 for around £75 and higher, also Monsoon are currently selling them for a more dearer price ranging from £400-£600.

 Here's a few of my favorite dresses below

How I keep my red hair....RED.

Hello.

I have had my hair red for a couple of months now and it's time to do a update and let you know how it's going!?!

It's not as bright as it first was the first time I dyed it because I'm not using bleach anymore, I'm just going over it with the XXL Live Scandalous Scarlet hair dye every time I need my roots done.
It comes out a really deep cherry colour.
 
How often do you dye it?

I dye it every couple of months when need my roots doing and by that time it has faded.
I don't need to use bleach for this colour. I have only used bleach once when I first dyed it because I was going from a brown to a red, the reason I don't do this anymore because when it fades it's sooo easy to go over it with a standard red dye you wish to have because you already have your base colour and also your roots are new hair that has never been dyed before so they should take really well.

How do you keep it from fading?

Theres a few things I do to stop it from fading, firstly you have to buy a colour protect shampoo.
I didn't get the most expensive one ever but it works and does its job perfectly, 
I got the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Colour Protect Caring Shampoo with the matching Conditioner and also the Masque.
In my opinion I think washing your hair in very cold water keeps it from fading the most, if you have red or any colour that fades quickly its up to you if you want to do this (it can be torchering especially in the winter).
Other ways I find that help are avoiding washing your hair, let it get greasy now and again it may sound gross but it protects it and makes your hair very healthy.

If you are planing to dye your hair a crazy colour hope I have given you some tips and tricks and good luck!

 What I'm wearing:
Denim shirt - New Look
Pearl collar necklace - River Island
Glasses - Osiris B40
Pale Pink Lipstick - Rimmel
Eye Makeup - Mac
