*UNDER CONSTRUCTION*

Another bad hair day as per usual.
Before I put my face on...


PURE SHOCKER.


Got home from work and had a shower as normal, and my hair did not let me down as it was back to it's usual mop like self when I undid my towel-turban. But never the less, I pressed on with my titivations as my eyebrows were in serious need of some TLC as well, so I thought blow it, i'll do my make-up whilst i'm at it as well just for kicks. I did'nt go over the top with the eye make-up, just some neutral colours like browny-beigey sort of shimmery colours - all very pretty. For my face I just went for a light covering of the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation just to give myself that flawless sort of look, and finally I used my good old Rimmel blusher in 012 Coral Rose for rosie cheeks ;)


An improvement me thinks.


Ok guys, on the hair front: I french plaited my fringe and the front section of hair. For the sole purpose of keeping it off my face whilst waxing my eyebrows (I used Eyebrow shapers from Eylure btw), and I took them out after and as you can see now, I am the crinkle mister! I quite like it actually, doesn't look to bad......ok, so it does look a bit messy but that's kind of in at the moment...
Nevermind, i like it :)
I'll leave a photo of the products I used at the bottom.


Another scary face, but my hair does'nt look too bad :P


I'd thoroughly reccomend the Urban Decay palette - really good quality and the colours are lush!

Bad hair day? You aint seen nothing yet!

Work today, (knackering) so it was just a bad hair day waiting to happen! I do have a bit of a wacky track record with my hair and when I really can't be bothered with it, it's at it's most scary. So are my eyebrows apparently...


SCARY HAIR!
Now, as you can tell, my hair can be a bit of a bugger to sort out, even at the best of times. So yeah ok, if I take my time to straighten it, it can look really nice...

NICE HAIR!
...but when the hell does a farm girl like me get the time to straighten her hair every morning before college to, (in the words of Cheryl Cole) help 'get it's mojo back'? Exactly: I don't. 
My usual routine is pretty basic to say the least:
1. Wash hair.
2. Go to bed with wet hair.
3. Wake up with an uncooperative mass of frizz, and try to negotiate a brush through it.
4. Run the straighteners through it at full wack and hope for the best.


Now, I know this probably isn't the best way I should be treating my hair but what's a girl to do?! It's not straight, it's not curly, and it certainly is'nt nice even waves. It goes flat on the top then has all these horrible un-negotiable kinks and waves underneath. Neither here, nor there really. The only plus side is that it's always super silky, thanks to my miracle shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in serum from L'Oreal. I would thoroughly reccomend all 3 if you want 'run-your-fingers-through-it' hair. God, i'm starting to sound like a bloody advert! Hahaha. But no seriously, they're proper lush and everyone should use them :D Here is the link to the Nutri-Gloss range:

It's definitely worth a goosey-gander.
So, if anyone is actually reading the blog, please comment or message me with ways on how to tame my mop-head. Seriously guys, it would be much appreciated! Bed time now me thinks, hello bad hair day again...
