My Horror Story: 

My horror story involves getting my hair chemically straightened just before christmas last year. At a hairdressing school. By a student who obviously didn't know what she was doing.
Result = Chunks of my hair being burnt off an INCH from the roots. It's growing out now, but it looks crazy!!
What the heck was I thinking letting a student loose on my hair?!?! The things I'll go through to save a buck..

Fav Product #1

I can't live without this product...

Lucas Papaw Ointment

I honestly do not know how I lived for 21 years without this. I got it a few weeks ago and haven't stopped using it since! It is by far the best lip treatment I've ever used, no other lip balm even comes close to this. To say I'm addicted would be pretty accurate...It's so amazing that it can even be used on

Fav Product #2

I wouldn't die, but I would suffer greatly without this product...

MAC Paintpot in Painterly

This really is my go-to primer for eyeshadow. When no other primer is doing it's job properly, this comes to the rescue. Used by itself it is a nude beige colour perfect for natural/nude looks, but when it's used under any eyeshadow it becomes a perfect base. I have never had an eyeshadow crease while I've been using this which is really saying something considering I have oily eyelids. I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone and infact I do recommend it to all my clients.

Fav Product #3

Without this product, I'd have to start drinking at noon ;-)

Avon Supershock Mascara

This mascara has unique microfibers which instantly expand and plump lashes, giving you upto 12x more volume. The teal wand separates the lashes, reducing the amount of ‘clumping’ that can occur.
I apply this after curling my eyelashes and it actually holds the curl all day! It also lengthens them and makes them look a lot thicker. This actually almost makes my lashes look fake, which I think is amazing! Another thing that I think is great is that at the end of the day, my mascara still looks as fresh as it did when I first applied it that morning.
I'm always on the lookout for a great mascara, but nothing I've tried is better than this.
