I am going to jump straight in on this as I have been looking forward too this one! Surprisingly, I am doing this the day after my night out, that is either dedication or I'm still drunk! Now I am the kind of girl who has a glass of martini and lemonade and then think I'm the worlds best dancer.. you know the type of girl you judge 'cause she's dancing on her own to Eve's 'who's that girl' making everybody know that they're the girl. Yep, that's me! It turned out to be a rather eventful night but I will ease you into it..
First thing everybody has got to do before a night out is SHOWER! I have a nice array of shower time necessities that I neatly carry in a soap and glory wash bag. My trusty old pink loafer is my best mate, these are so cheap and you can get them from your local supermarkets, boots etc. I don't remember where I got mine as I've had it a while, you can tell as it's starting to show its age! Dove silk glow nourishing body wash is my all time fav, I have weird skin that disagrees with certain ingredients, but it loves the smooth luxurious feel of this dove body wash, it is an absolute dream and smells incredible! I won't ever change it, it's won me over. Sanex zero% body wash is the stuff I use in my most intimate areas (blushing) AWKWARD but every girl knows how it is! Quick subject change.. ARGAN OIL SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER! Wow, it does what it says and I wasn't quick to try it out but im so glad I gave in to the heavenly hair goodness. I got such a swell deal on these bad boys as well from Groupon, £10 for the shampoo, conditioner and the argan oil too instead of a hefty £30! Gotta love a good beauty bargain, so go check Groupon out!
After showering it's all about moisturising that sexy body of yours and if you're searching for the perfect moisturiser I have one for you to try. It comes in the form of the Soap and Glory righteous butter! You know at Christmas and you gather loads of Soap and Glory products and just never get around to trying them? Well that was the case with me and the righteous butter, I found my love for this when I got home from Spain in July trying to prolong my tan that I worked so hard for and wow, it is so velvety and applies so well. It isn't greasy and smells like pretty things
Link!. £10.50 for 300ml, a little pricey but I think it's worth it, you never know though you may have a tub gathering dust under your bed like I did and save yourself that tenner.
After creaming up it was time to stick a comfy shirt on and get down to the piece de resistance which is my hair! I have thin hair which does what it wants which is a massive nightmare but I recently got obsessed with big, beautiful bouncy hair and I literally sat and taught myself how to put rollers in by watching youtube tutorials. I feel like I've managed to get a decent grasp of it but I will let you decide for yourselves! First of all I towel dry my hair ready to apply the argan oil to my ends. I take about little bit of the organic world argan oil on my finger tips and rub it all up in the ends of my hair. It works a treat and it came with the shampoo and conditioner I was banging on about earlier here's the link if you guys want to give it a try
Link! Its such a great deal so snap it up while you can if you're interested.
Here I am looking like a hot mess just like my room trying to rescue my dead ends!
After this it was time to get my blow dry on ready to put those rollers in. All you need is a brush, straighteners or curlers your rollers and those little runaways we know as hair grips (bobby pins, Kirby grips).
I got the purple rollers from the one and only Asda and the big black ones from Wilkinsons. I use the black ones for the top centre of my hair and then I work down in size order. Here I am trying to look like it comes natural..
I just add heat to my hair by curling the ends ready to roll the sections up and secure with my hair grips. The heat helps your hair to set giving it a nice bounce.
A bit of gentle back combing enhances the volume and then you just roll it up and secure it in place!
Once I had covered my entire hair with rollers and look like a toilet brush I was all done so I just gave it a quick once over with my hairspray and ended up looking like this..
I was going to my boyfriends for the night so I was doing my makeup and everything like that at his so I packed my stuff up and we hit the road! I was quick to set up my rimmel light up mirror which my boyfriends mum gave to me as I kept stealing the little bathroom mirror to do my makeup with in a morning haha! Id got my 'workspace' ready and I began by putting on the mac studio fix which I talked about in my first ever blog post
Link! Here I am packing on the mascara trying to make my lashes look full and long as I don't wear false lashes 'cause I find myself with them half hanging off in the middle of the night and it gets me down!
Definitely not the finest photo of me but I was a working progress at this point. I can do a blog on my daily makeup in more detail at some point if you guys are interested? The most important part of my makeup is contouring I just love to pretend I have cheekbones where my chubby cheeks are, but don't we all?
I apologise for my boyfriends room its a little messy and I may be partly to blame (oops). It doesn't take me long to put my face together I would say around 10 minutes for evening makeup. These are the last snaps of me with my roller head on but just to show you my finished makeup here they are..
I was quick to take my rollers out, I just don't look good in them.. at all. I just slowly roll them out one by one starting from the bottom and working my way up to avoid getting them tangled in the Velcro 'cause it hurts bad if you do!
There you have it my hair is done! Time to get dressed.. well at least I thought it was until I went to put my new dress on only to realise that the zip is broken on it. I was so excited about my blue lace number so I didn't even bring any options as I was dead set on wearing it. I was stranded with no other clothes so I did what any girl would do in my situation and beg.. yep I begged my sister to bring me my ASOS dress that I have only ever worn once before and like a hero she came to my rescue, bodycon dress in hand! At this point I had already been chilling with my boyfriends mates in his top and my jeans sipping my wine sulking over my dress troubles, so I made a quick dash to his room to throw on my dress and shoes! Here I am, I managed to just about throw myself together..
