1 year and 9 months natural

HEEEY there!
At the beginning of October, I took my hair extensions (which I have previously done a post on Here) out and decided to have my natural hair out to college. 

Now this was a massive decision for me as usually I don't like my natural hair out, mostly because of the looks I receive from people and because I found it to be at such an awkward length when I last had it out.
However, this time around I have absolutely loved loved loved having my natural hair out.

 One guy said to me "So that's all your hair?" and I flicked it, well I tried but it didn't really moved haha and said YES! 

My hair has grown, I can't believe how far its come. I feel like it is my baby and I'm looking after it, watching it grow, I'm probably sounding a bit crazy but its true. 

So here's me at 1 year and 9 moths natural!

The Body Shop Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser






Hellllloooo! 
Recently I had an allergic reaction to honey. I put it on my face because it made my face feel so smooth, I even raved about it on my YouTube Channel in my October Favourites video.

 After using it for about 2 or 3 days and night, I realised that I had some bumps all over my cheeks and I was like "Can you find somewhere else to reside please?" Not literally but you get my point!

Basically, the honey I had applied wasn't pure so I reacted to an ingredient in it. My skin looked so bad. Reacting to the honey made my skin extremely sensitive, it tingled whenever I put any kind of product on it which is why I decided to buy this cleanser for sensitive skin from The Body Shop.

It is called the Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser. 
It "gently, but thoroughly removes make-up, impurities and daily grime"
I don't use it to take off my make-up as it just takes so much longer and I feel like I'm wasting the product.
I use it to take off my eye make-up and then take off the rest of my makeup by washing my face. I then use the cleanser again just to make sure that all my make-up is off!
On days when I don't wear makeup, I still use it to take off "daily grime"
There's nothing better than going to bed with a nice clean face!

Overall I like it, however I feel that I don't have enough control over the amount of product that comes out when I squeeze it but it's not a big problem because I just put it on my face away to make sure it's extra clean!

Leaves at my feet

Jacket,Scarf  & Shoes - New Look
Shirt - Primark
Jeans - Dorothy Perkins

Hellooo! I wrote a post recently on this jacket when I wore it to a party and here is another post with a more casual look.  
Before the half term, I also wore it to college and a friend took pictures for me. I love the leaves at my feet in the pictures, it brings an autumnal feel to this post.

I love this jacket. It just fits perfectly and I won't lie, I feel pretty important when I wear it especially when I have my hands in the pockets. 

I've also included a picture of my hair as I'm loving the way my curls are looking these days. 
It's only now that I'm really and truly loving my natural hair even though it doesn't always do what I want on a morning when I'm rushing to college. 

UCAS deadline next week *gulps*

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Couture

with flash..

Lately, I have been branching out of my comfort zone by experimenting with brighter lipsticks. I have tried out Shade 7 & and Shade 3 from MUA and really liked them. 
I was in Superdrug with a friend and saw that Revlon were offering £2 off their lipsticks so I thought I'd check their lipsticks out and as soon as I tried this on, I loved it. 
It wasn't until I got home and tried it on again, that I knew I really really loved it. 

It is such a beautiful colour, it goes on like a lip balm and is very buildable. I can just swatch it once or twice on my lips for a muted look or build it up and make it such a bright lipstick.

As you can see, I have my natural hair out! I will be doing a length check very soon as my hair has grown so I am very excited!

Please watch my latest haul video to see this lipsticks on and various other things I've bought!
