No Chips here....

OPI Topcoat

I hope I'm not the only one to suffer with really weak nails, when I paint my nails they chip within a day and it is my pet hate!! I've always suffered with weak nails I think i've got his from my mum so i've tried lots of different products to try and make my nail polish last longer and stay chip free and I think I may of the product. This OPI nail polish is a 2 in 1 product; it's a base coat and also a top coat which is great because then it means you only need 2 products to do your nails, this and then the colour you are going to apply. 

To start with I make sure my nails are really clean and filed to the shape that I like or to the shape that  I can get them to when their so short. I then wait a minute till the base coat is dry, now it's time to apply the colour nail polish, once the colour polish is all dry its then time to apply the start to finish polish again and all you have to do is wait for it to dry now. I'm a little impatient so I sometimes apply this finishing spray to speed up the drying.

If you are looking for a base and top coat this Start to Finish polish by OPI is a great product, I do agree it is a bit more pricey than your normal high street polish. Costing around £13 but it's a 2 in 1 product and my nails lasted 3-4 days which is really good for my nails. I just use my regular nail polish underneath and does give my nail polish an extra shine. This product would defiantly get a thumbs up from up! (wish i could put a thumbs up emoji in here)

YSL Event

I recently attend a YSL Event which was held in the John Lewis Southampton Store. This was a day event and YSL's top international makeup artist; Frederic Letailleur was hosting the event and was teaching us all about the products and also different makeup tips that he has learnt from working the Yves Saint Laurent.

 

Before I went to the event I read up about Frederic Letailleur because I wanted to find out some more about him and what his career has been like as a makeup artist. I have to say he has worked with lots of different celebrities from Kim Cattrall to Cate Blanchett. Follow him on Facebook here or read this interview he did here to find a little bit more about him. 

When I arrived at the counter all the ladies working on the YSL counter were really friendly and welcoming, they made me feel very welcome. Their were glasses or fizz of orange juice offered around and these cute little cupcakes, and yes I did have 1 or maybe 2 of the chocolate ones! We then sat down and got to chat with Frederic and he is so nice and friendly, he asked about me and what I do and all of us makeup lovers got to chat about everything makeup!!

Frederic then started the makeup demonstration, he spoke through all the products he was using in great detail, which was so useful as I didn't know that much about their skincare range but I do now and they are so luxurious and feel lovely on the skin. Once I start earning more money I will defiantly  be tempted to buy some, but while I'm still as student I will just dream about them!!

I learnt new techniques for contouring today which was one of the questions I asked at the start of the  talk, he used a Touche Eclat in a dark shade (number 5 or 6 depending on your skin tone). When he said about using Touche Eclat I wasn't sure how it would work for contouring because I thought the product would reflect light but it worked really well and blended nicely and didn't leave the harsh line.  Learning and try out all their products made me want to buy everything but I resisted and just used a voucher I got for birthday and bought their Hero product; Touche Eclat in the shade 1 which is meant to be amazing for hi lighting. I am going to do a post on it soon and how I'm getting on with it so keep an eye out for that!

I have to say I learnt lots about all their products and how to use them and if I could I would love to buy them all, maybe one day I will!! Everyone was so nice and friendly and I really enjoyed myself, I know they do these events all round the country so if your local YSL Counter have an event like this defiantly book and go, I found it so useful and all the girls on the counter were so helpful. I'm going back to see them soon and have a makeup lesson, I can't wait!!!!!

Cheryl's Done it again!!

Cheryl's New Advert

Wow, wow,wow, this video has just been released today for L'Oreal's Feria Hair Colour with the amazing Cheryl Cole. This video was just released an hour ago and  I love it, I am slightly biased as I am a big Cheryl Cole fan, but I this is a great advert and is something very different for L'Oreal. All of the previous adverts have been a lot more static compared to this one, this advert has Cheryl dancing and is very powerful with the music playing. I have to say her hair looks great in this video mainly because of the volume or amount of hair extensions she has in. If you look at my Instagram- amybellebeauty I uploaded a photo of her hair because I want to get my hair as blonde as hers over time.  I'm tempted to go buy a packet of this hair colour if mine could then look like her!!

I recently went to Paris with my University, I have never been away to Paris before so I was excited to go. The Eiffel Tower was beautiful, seeing it in the evening was my favourite I think the lights twinkling on it made it look so pretty. I decided to make a little video to show you some of my favourite parts to Paris, because we were only their for a short period of time I did not get it see everything I wanted to so I'm hoping to go back again!!!
