Monthly Favourites: Eye makeup

Top 4: Favourite Instagram Accounts

Beauty bloggers never fail to inspire me to turn my beauty routine up on a daily basis. There seems to be an endless stream of incredibly makeup savvy girls adding (literal) sparkle to my Instagram feed every time i scroll. These ladies that I absolutely LOVE teach everything from the perfect contour products to the best date night lip colour. Some of these bloggers even have a small army of devoted followers hanging on to every glamorous hashtag and anxiously awaiting each tutorial. A.K.A, me. Naturally, whenever i stumble upon a new inspiring makeup guru, i obsess over every post concentrating on how she fashioned her eye brow arch that perfectly or how her bronzer has just the right summer glow. My love for these four incredible ladies just keeps on growing haha!

First of all, top of my list... the ever so lovely Desi Perkins:


Desi has a very popular instagram account that highlights various makeup looks and her everyday life. She creates celebrity inspired makeup tutorials, including my all time favourites of Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Jenner. LOVE HER!

Next, The incredibly talented An Knook:

An, from the Netherlands has SOOO much talent. Her flawless skin and beautiful eyes are enough to make anyone jealous. Her makeup looks are always so lovely and so precise. I need that precision in my life!

Next, a girl i have recently discovered and automatically loved... Georgia Cutts:



First of all, her ever changing hair colour was what inspired me to dye my hair silver/ ashy blonde. Although i dont pull it off as well as Georgia does :( Georgia is a makeup artist working at Mac Cosmetics from the UK, Currently at 158k followers, her instagram page is forever growing. I fully admire her. A beautiful girl.

Last but not least. Another new obsession of mine... Jamie Genevieve.


Okay so, lets just talk about her hair colour for a moment. wow. I know for sure what my next hair colour is going to be!! Jamie is also an incredibly talented makeup artist, whos highlight NEVER disappoints. Ive tried and failed to re create many of her looks before. I just dont know how she does it!!!

So there we have it guys, my four favourite instagram accounts. Give them all a follow!!

How To: Silver/Lilac Hair

If like me you have spent literally FOREVERRRR trying to get your hair this colour, fear no more. I found a way!! To get your hair the same as mine (below) keep on reading!!

Now, everybody knows that bleaching hair can be a risky one. But after trying so many different hair dyes and never bleaching my hair, I had a "fuck it" moment and decided to go for it. My hair is naturally a dark/dirty blonde, which has been coloured with box dyes OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! so my only option to get it this light was to hit the bleach. Before bleaching my hair, It was an all over yellow toned blonde. My hairdresser bleached it for me, concentrating mainly on my roots, and brushing the bleach through to the ends of my hair. (The ends of my hair was a lot lighter, so no need to bleach all over) But if you are a dark hair colour, whack it on all over!

Once bleached a blue/purple toner was put on my hair immediately after rinsing off the bleach, this was then left on for about 20minutes to half an hour. If you have thin hair, at this stage your hair WILL go blue, but after a few washes this will disappear. You now have the perfect white blonde base to start adding the lilac. For this i use three different products, all avaliable at Boots.

Bleach London silver shampoo - £5
Lee Stafford bleach blondes shampoo - £6.99
Lee Stafford bleach blondes hot shots - £7.49

- Every time i wash my hair i use the 'Bleach London silver shampoo' to maintain the grey. 
- The Lee Stafford purple shampoo adds a pinky/purple tone to the hair, so i use this once a week, after shampooing with the silver shampoo and leave it to soak on my hair for 10-15minutes.
- Finally, once a week i also like to use the Lee Stafford Hot Shots, these are best used after shampooing your hair. It says on the box to leave for 2 minutes, but i leave it up to half an hour to get a full effect. (BEWARE: This is a self heating hair treatment and you will have a cold tingling sensation for the duration)
- Use a load of conditioner every time you wash your hair also, keep that hair hydrated.

There you have it, its pretty easy once you get used to the crazy hair washing routine.
