Since having my little girl last year, my poor skin and hair have really suffered. Before I was pregnant I had to wash my hair every day otherwise it would get greasy very quickly and look like I'd dipped my head in a chip pan, mmmm attractive! But in the last few months my hair has been so dry and fly away that I really felt that I needed something to add lots of moisture. I was watching one of Holly from the YummyMummy Beauty Blog's favourite video's on Youtube and she was saying how good L'oreal Mythic oil was for adding some moisture and giving you a lovely silky smooth finish to your hair. So I made a note of it and was going to do a bit of hunting around online, but to my surprise I received one in one of my beauty boxes, SCORE! When I first went to use it I have to admit I was a little apprehensive. I kind of thought, hang on a minute, is putting oil on my hair really a good idea? Could this bring back the former 'chip-head' me? But I decide to ...

Good evening all, I'm absolutely LOVING my new Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette so I thought I'd do another face of the day using it. As I sit here typing I'm in quite allot of pain, I had a shaving related incident in the bath... There I was innocently shaving my legs when I dropped the razor and tried to catch it, but actually ended up pushing it in to my leg and it sliced sideways, OUCH! So I now have a nice 5 inch slice down the back of my left leg :-( But anyways, lets get on with my face of the day.

Some of the products are new and some of them I've been using for a while. I'm always on the look out for new products to try so please let me know if you can recommend anything or if you want me to try something and review it for you. Eyeshadow Mac- Naked Lunch . I really love to use this all over the lid, as a highlight or on the inner corner. It's a beautiful shimmery shade and goes with most other colours. Mac- All that Glitters . This is a lovely golden shimmery shade and I tend to use this all over the lid or in the outside of the lid. It goes particularly well with all the other shadows shown in the pallet. Mac-Sketch . This is a beautiful deep plum shade with some shimmer. It's a great shade to use in the crease or in the outer v. Stila-Jezebel . This is a lovely coppery, peachy bronze colour.

Morning Routine Step 1. I like to start with using my Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity Facial Wash. Step 2. I tone my face with my No7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Toner using a cotton cosmetic pad. It's fragrance free and non drying. I do like this product and I would re-purchase it, but I'm looking at trying different products. Step 3. I use my Soap and Glory Make Yourself Youthful Eye Cream. I have only just started using this so I can't really comment on how good it is but I can say it smells nice, has a nice consistency and feels nice on the skin. It is nice and moisturising and my concealer goes on smoothly, so far so good. Step 4. I then use my Soap and Glory Catch a Wrinkle in Time Day Moisturiser all over the face. I'm then ready for my make-up! Shower/Evening Routine Step 1. Before I get in the shower I remove my make-up with No7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Cleanser and a cotton cosmetic pad. I like this cleanser, it removes my make-up nicely, even my waterproof m...
