Hairstyle Tutorials, Morning Make Up and New Product Reviews -Round Up

I’ve been filming videos like crazy while my hair is all non-re-growth-y 😉 Two hair tutorials and one Morning Make Up Video. I really want to edit the V-Logs I’ve filmed as well but they’re quite time consuming so I haven’t been able to yet. I should be able to do one this week though!

Morning Make Up is Pink and Blue Glitter Stripes ^_^

Super simple twisted bun tutorial…

Big puffy bun tutorial which requires no teasing…

 

This week also introduces the Currently Testing section on the left side bar. I want to do a good job at reviewing all of the products I’ve received through events like ABBW, ABC and MBBE so I’ll be doing mini reviews in that section. They won’t pop up on the main blog or via RSS but once a week I’ll include any I’ve done in the round up here or if I’ve used them in any of the make up videos I’ll post links there too as I go.

So to start off this week I’ve reviewed:

– The Face Shop Pearl Collagen Mask

 Carmex Moisture plus ultra hydrating balm

 Benefit The Porefessional

 

Back to work for me now, hope you all had a good weekend. Today’s the last day to nominate for the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blogger Awards too so I’m off to put in my favorite blogs and cross my fingers for them!

 

 

 

 

 

Benefit The Porefessional Review… Currently Using

Benefit The Porefessional

Thoughts:

Pores are something I’ve never really thought about. When ever I think of pores I imagine Daria’s sister Quinn voice in my head from the 90’s cartoon ^_^ So I didn’t think this product would be something I would ever use but after trying it for a while I can admit I might have been wrong.

It is lightly coloured but transparent when rubbed in and feels like velvet. It dries super smooth and has a matt finish, I used it in place of a primer over my t-zone. When looking closely I couldn’t see much of a difference but after actually applying foundation over the top it certainly looked a lot smoother than usual. That said, because pores are not a thing I’ve ever been self conscious about I don’t know if this is something I would think about enough to use again other than as a primer.

I do think it works, I tested it on James’ nose and I could see a difference on his skin but at around $50 I wouldn’t buy it again if I was just going to use it as a regular primer. You only need a tiny amount to go a long way so if it was an area I was concerned about it would probably be cost effective. I would recommend it for those who are self conscious about their pores.

Would I buy Benefit The Porefessional again: I wouldn’t because I don’t have problems with my pores and it makes an expensive primer… but I would recommend it for people who are concerned about their pores.

Puffy Bun With No Teasing Hair Instructions
This is a very easy way to get volume in your bun without teasing/backcombing and damaging it.
Start with your hair in a high ponytail.
Shake out your hair and ruffle it with your fingers to puff it up messily.
If you have thin hair you can add some volumising spray and shuffle it out more.
Roughly twist it into a bun.
Don’t twist too much of it will lose volume.
Pin it all in place.
If it doesn’t look right then fluff it out more and try again.
Give it a bit of a shake to see if it’s sturdy enough or needs more pins.
Hairspray the hell out of it.
Now you just need to decorate it with a pretty accessory like a bow and you’re finished.
This style looks like it takes more effort than it does!
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
