How many of you girls have had hair drama? Like the colour isn't right, your hair texture is hay approved or you've been told something but the opposite has happened? Yes I have been there and experienced that all before! But not anymore because I have met my hair goddess, Nicky Lazou! I will talk about everything about Nicky and what she has done, I will also do another blog post on hair care routines etc etc..

In April I visited Nicky for the first time in Birmingham and I was soo nervous because I am really protective over my hair and the last thing I wanted was ginger/copper/reddy hair... That's not chic guys like seriously... I had previously dyed my hair but it wasn't the colour I wanted and I wanted a nice ashy blonde type of colour. I told Nicky that I wanted balayage and showed her the colour that I wanted and see did state to me that it would take at least 3 VISITS to get my desired colour.

Nicky does her own custom blends and also ensures that the hair doesn't get damaged throughout the process of colouring the hair as it can leave it dry and brittled. Every stylist has their way of doing balayage and Nicky has her own way, but her main concern is that your hair should be in the best condition even after colouring it.

I had to have my hair colour corrected as I had previously dyed it before and she applied the colour on. This was a long process but Nicky made me feel so comfortable that at one point I forgot that I was even having my hair done! We had coffee and girly chit chats about random things which I loved!

After 3.5 hours I got to see the final look and I have never been so happy with my hair! I did have a trim and I did get my inch off, not anymore than that! Nicky did add more ash tones but with every wash, my hair did become lighter.


This picture was taken on the 17th July when I got a blow dry. As you can see over time the colour has gone more lighter from when I first did my hair. 



I went to see Nicky for the second time and I told her that I wanted to go lighter as I'm still in love with my hair from when she first did it! We went a bit more ashy/silvery with the tips, she also face framed which looks amazing. Per usual we had chit chats, coffee and I got to play with her adorable puppy Balayage!


I can't fault Nicky at all because she truly is amazing at her job and she knows what do it! The service that she gives and the advice that she gives is brilliant! I love my hair more than ever and I can't wait to see her again, she truly is a hair goddess! If you guys have any questions then please feel free to tweet me, message me etc etc! Also go and check out Nicky on her social medias!

I will be doing another blog post on how I look after my hair and what I use! I hope you all enjoyed this post and like Nicky says "Remember to love your hair!"...

It's my birthday today!!! I thought I would a quick blog post on my make up and have a quick chit chat! As I'm just with family today, I decided to go for a neutral yet still glamorous look... You got to look on fleek for your birthday right?! 

First of all, I didn't apply any foundation or anything! I just applied some Urban decay eye potion primer (you can use any sort of eye primer). After applying the primer, I used 'Tease' from my Naked 2 palette for my cut crease and blended it all out evenly. 




I then used 'Suspect' all over my eye lid to give it that golden shimmery look. Suspect is amazing as it has undertones of brown as well which gives it that natural shimmery look. 




After doing my eye shadow, I used L'oréal Super Liner Superstar to do a winged liner.. Gotta have that fleeky liner gals! 




For my waterline I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in 'Stag'. I didn't want to do a harsh look so I applied it lightly.

















Mascara is a must! I first curled my eyelashes using Shu Uemura eyelash curlers and then used Lancome Hypnôse Star mascara.... Guys like this is the shiz!!! Looking like you got fake lashes on and everything!  


After doing my eyes, I then concealed my under eyes using the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and then applied the Maybelline Eye Eraser on top. (If you have a beauty blender then use it to get a flawless look) 

I used 'Half Baked' Underneath my bottom water line to carry on with the golden eye look. I also  used it for the inner corner of my eyes. 




 I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (Light to Medium), I used havana (2nd row 3rd one) to contour and Banana (1st row 2nd one) to set my under eye concealer. 


Nars Dolce Vita is my all time favourite blusher that I have been using for 3 years now! I love using big fluffy blush brushes so it gives it a subtle look and not too harsh.. A little goes a long way! 


For Highlight I used Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter, guys like seriously this is amazing stuff! You NEED it! Some how I got a crack (Heart is breaking) but I am looking after it properly to avoid further cracks! I applied it above my cheek bones and down the bridge of my nose. 



   For my lips I used MAC Soar with a bit of velvet teddy!



So this was my birthday look, its very easy and subtle. I didn't want to do anything heavy as I wasn't going anywhere fancy but I will also do another blog post for #birthdaypart2! Let me know if you used any of these and what you think of them! All social medias are above so get following! 

Lots of love xoxo
