Beach hair: Bumble and bumble


The tousled/bed-head look never gets old and now that summer is just around the corner I have gathered together my favourite Bumble and bumble products that I use to achieve the perfect tousled look.

Bb thickening - This is a hairspray that you spray onto damp hair. I spray this onto towel-dried hair, brush through then blast my hair dry tipping my head upside down and brushing my finger through as I do so. This leaves my hair feeling thicker and fuller at the roots giving my flat hair a much needed lift! I love this thickening spray because it doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy or full of product, once its dry it is practically undetectable!

Bumble South Surf spray - This is the next product I use and I spray this onto dry hair and I use both hands to scrunch my hair to create that messy beach hair. I will often switch this up with the thickening hairspray, using this in towel-dried hair and the hairspray in dry hair although you can feel this product when your hair is dried, it leaves your hair with an odd almost drying texture however just like the hairspray it is very lightweight and doesn't weigh your hair down! Thumbs up!

Bb texture - Finally the last product I use is this hair (un) dressing creme. It is a thick creme that again is supposed to be applied to damp hair, however I use this on second day hair to regain "oomph" I rub this between my hand and just like the surf spray I scrunch my hair and run my fingers through my roots and this just picks my hair back up and adds a little shine which is great because when my hair needs washed it tends to look a little dull! Unlike the other products you can definitely feel this in your hair and I do need to be careful with the amount I use because too much would weigh my hair down resulting in the opposite of what I want to achieve. If you are going to use this on dry hair do make sure you distribute it evenly throughout your hair as it tends to stick hair together and dry very quickly and rats tails are not so attractive!

#HighlightonFLEEK: Champagne Pop, Jaclyn Hill for Becca Cosmetics

The Becca and Jaclyn Hill collaboration has been the highlight of the year (pun intended) for the youtube and beauty world. Becca are known for their highlighters so it was a fitting match that the queen of highlight herself created her perfect shade that we can all enjoy too.  Unfortunately it's not widely available and is exclusive to Sephora... thank the makeup gods that Sephora now ship to the UK! The downside is anyone who doesn't live near a store will not have the luxury of trying before you splurge and you can only rely on swatches from google. For me this shade is not suitable for very fair skin tones although you fair ladies will be able to use this a a glowy bronzer to warm up the face.  The colour is a very warm peach with a gold champagne (duh) undertone. It feels very creamy and smooth in texture and this translates onto the skin as it just glides onto your cheekbones with one swipe! If you are on the fairer side you may want to go in with a light ...

Products I regret buying: Foundation

Although these foundations don't work for me they may work wonders for others.  Bourjois healthy mix  I wanted to adore this foundation as it has been raved about in the blogosphere but I just doesn't work for me. Now I have very pale skin but I do sometimes buy foundations that are a shade darker to accommodate my skin when I apply self tan but this was the lightest shade Bourjois have to offer and I found that it oxidised and turned a horrible dark pink tone. As for lasting power I'm not going to slate it for my skin getting oily really quickly because this is a hydrating foundation and I do have combination skin ...however, I have dry skin around my lips and this wore off relatively quickly leaving a white rim around my mouth that looked horrendous due to the oxidised foundation on the rest of my face.  Clinique anti-blemish solutions At this start of this year I experienced a really bad break out that spread all the way down my neck and onto my chest so off I popped t...
