Ombré eye liner

Inspired from a video by Shaanxo about ombré eye liner, I thought I would give it a go! The look uses blue and silver and is a very summery and fun look to contrast with normal black or brown eye liner

I used a Rimmel scandal eyes cream eye shadow in the colour mercury in the inner third of my eye, then I used a discontinued MAC turquoise eye shadow as a transition and for the outer third I used a pencil eye liner from No7, to get a bit more definition I used a black gel eye liner from maybeline to add the the flick but I applied the eyeshadow over so there wasn’t as harsh of a contrast! 🌹

Healthy hair 🌞

I struggle with my hair so much, I get it cut so it will grow, but two days later I have split ends and my hair is back to how it was before, strawy and frankly, disgusting! We’ve all had that moment where we come out the hairdressers thinking our hair is now perfect, and once you’ve washed it you could not regret the cut more!

Well I think I’ve found the perfect combination of products that actually work as I’ve now halved the amount of haircuts I get and my hair looks healthy, and now actually grows rather than staying at that one awkward length.

For the past year I have been using a range of tresemme products, although fairly pricy, these usually have offers and deals on them, so can actually end up being a lot cheaper than you’d expect.

I start off using tresemme keratin smooth shampoo :

I then use Tresemme keratin smooth conditioner:

Next (we’re not there yet) I move on to Tresemme keratin smooth deep treatment masque:

Once I’ve towel dried my hair, I add roughly five squirts of Tresemme oil elixir into my hair ( my mum, who has dyed hair, uses oil elixir for colour treated hair, I would highly recommend this if you also dye your hair as it keeps the colour in for longer) :

Lastly (woohoo!) I put 14 squirts of Tresemme keratin smooth heat protection in to prevent split ends from happening:

As you can see I’m a fan of the keratin smooth, but what can I say! With naturally very thick and heavy hair, my hair is light, soft and shiny and I love it! Here is what my hair looks like ( sorry for the serious face ahah) xx

Also a few tips for making hair grow faster ( I’ve had so many difficulties growing mine) are brushing your hair at least once a day and bending your head over your knees and massaging your hair for 4 minutes (according to my hair dresser this really works!)

Eyeko makeup

Got my Eyeko makeup today! It arrived so fast and came in the cutest little package with a free mini eyeliner. I literally could not recommend them more, I struggle so much with eyeliners, but this one is perfect, it’s precise, works over eye shadow and it’s
opaque, which sounds weird but most eyeliners come out kind of see through sometimes? Anyway thankyou so much eyeko and alexachung for making these you’re life savers! 😘

Eyeko “Me & My shadow waterproof shadow liner” in TAUPE

“Eye do mascara” -BLACK

“Eye do” liquid eye liner – BLACK

Here’s an overview of my excitement ;D

Anyway I totally recommend this, I payed £35 including p&p and got the small eyeliner free 🙂
