NEW BLOG - NEW ME! (OLD IBEAUTY1995X)

Hey guys!

Some of you may be a bit confused as to what's going on. I discovered that you are able to change your blog address through blogger and decided to go with it :)

I am still 'ibeauty1995x' just under a new name of 'blogmylife95' (only added the 95 because it was unavailable without it ;)))

I hope that you guys are still able to find my blog and that you continue to read and follow it as I am now going to blog about everything rather than just beauty related things :)

I'm Back!

Hey guys!

So I know that I abandoned by blog for like 4 months! but I started my first proper job in the career that I wanted to do in August :) and I can tell you now it has been very busy! working long hours and by the time I get home I want to just sleeeeep!

I have been thinking about my blog and I was thinking that I don't just want to base it around beauty anymore and may start to add lots of different blog posts... I think Id like to change my blog name but I don't think that's possible and opening up lots of new blog pages is just going to be too hard to keep a track on so I think I'll just stick with the username :)

I'm away on holiday with my boyfriend at the moment, staying in an amazing forest in a beautiful lodge cabin and it even has it's own private hot tub! I can't wait to welcome the new year in in a hot tub under the stars with my boyfriend:) - cheesealert! :)

I hate doing really short posts always feel that I should carry on writing ;) but it's basically just a post to say that I want to reopen my blog and not just to beauty, but to the world. My world :)

L'oreal Paris Casting Sunkiss Jelly - PRODUCT REVIEW

Hey Guys! :)

So I know I haven't posted in over 2 months but my life has been on a rollercoaster (who's life isn't?! :P ) but with starting my new job and leaving college its pretty tiring after running around after 1 year olds :') but anyway, a few weeks a go I went to Scotland with my boyfriend Danny and I thought I would try a new hair product. Here is my review:

Okay so here is the product itself and I am just going to state that this product is AMMONIA FREE! so it won't damage you're hair as much as products with ammonia would!
The photo on the left is how it looks stocked on the shelf and the photo on the right I am showing you the actual application :) I love the packaging of this product! I think it is colourful and attractive and also gives you an estimate change in colour in the smaller photos at the bottom which in my opinion are pretty accurate! :) I love the way that you apply the product as I don't really dye my hair so an easy application is enough for me! you pretty much squirt it onto your hands (whilst wearing the gloves provided) obviously :P and then rub it into your hair.. another thing in which I love about this product is that you can do whatever you like with it! you can create an all over sunkissed look, you can give yourself highlights or lowlights! Or you can even create an ombre look like me! :) I am aware that there are other products out there in which are especially for ombre looks, but I was afraid that it was going to come out too bold and obvious and create a horrible contrast throughout my hair - so I forgot about my ombre desire until I saw this product! Another strength in which I love about this product is that it is a leave-in product so you can just apply it as part of you're daily routine without any hassle :)

The product comes in 3 different 'colours' or strengths in which you buy according to your hair colour, I got the 01 'for light brown to dark blonde' now I am still arguing with myself as to whether this is your own hair colour or the colour in which your hair may turn after it has been lightened! Just to clarify guys THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A COLOURED DYE. IT IS A GRADUAL LIGHTENER AND DEPENDING ON YOUR OWN HAIR THE RESULTS MAY VARY!

So here is the back and the top of the product packaging. Again at the top it shows an example of the gradual transition the product may make your hair. But as said above, it also says this on the product that the results may vary depending on your original hair colour. It also states that the product works best on hair light brown - dark blonde best (rather than really light blonde/black hair.)

The back of the packaging the product provides instructions of 'easy application' (not like you will need to follow them!) and states that this product is 'enriched with camellia oil, known for it's caring and delicate properties.' In my own opinion I can definitely say that this product made my hair feel and smell amazing! Because I only applied the product to the bottom half of my hair I could definitely recognise a difference in texture and shine from using this product!

So now I have described the actual product to you, moving on to the actual effectiveness of the product! this is what my hair looked like before I used the product, (sorry I couldn't get a photo of my hair from the back as it would have given you a better view but this is the best one I could find :) )

My hair in this picture is (in my opinion) a mixture of a mousey brown and a deep chocolate brown. In this photo my hair looks lighter as I am standing in front of the window but you still can see the darkness of my hair in the photograph :)

I was debating with myself for quite a while as to whether I should put any form of dye or colourant on my hair - I was even unsure about using this product, but I became bored with my hair and wanted to change something about it so I decided to go with a lightening product! :)


Here is the result!:

So this is after about 5 applications of the product! as it is a gradual lightener it does not instantly change the colour of your hair. Although I applied this product around 7 times it did not change my hair much to what it has in this photo, when I took this photo my hair was very new and I am standing in front of the window. (that's maybe why it looks to have a ginger tint!) but my hair is now a tad blonder than in this photo! I wish I had taken step by step photos of my transition!!

Overall I would rate this product: ★★★★ 4 out of 5 Stars! :) 

I hope you enjoyed my post guys and I hope that (if you haven't already) that this post inspires you to go and try this product! I highly recommend it :)

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm REVIEW!

Hey guys! :)

Before I get started on the review, be sure to check out my new video of an unboxing of the Canon SX170 IS camera here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqjY8Js7QzY&list=UUAYO6o3jaVP7hjqOuPw7_LQ

So lets get started :)

A couple of weeks ago I bought the Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in the colour 'Drive me Nude' I have now had this product for two to three weeks and as you can see the writing is already starting to come off of the packaging!

Please excuse the mascara on the lid ;) my mascara is quite messy and I need to invest in a new one!

I quite like the packaging of this product, the thing that drew me to it the most is the fact that it is in the design of a crayon. I have never seen lip balms sold in this way as they all tend to stick to the traditional stick design.

Another thing that draws me to the product is that the outer-packaging itself is a similar colour to what the product is. For example; I have the drive me nude shade therefore the packaging is a nude-ish colour.

The only bad thing that I would say about this product is that, as you can see the text on the packaging has no hold at all. This happened whilst I was cleaning my make-up but the text tends to come off even after a scratch of your nail.

Here is what the product looks like without the lid, now you can see what I mean about the crayon design. Once the product is starting to run out, you just twist the bottom as you do lipstick more of the product appears.

The product is retailed at £5.99 and can be found in most drug stores such as superdrug or boots, and supermarkets such as ASDA or Tesco!

The product runs smoothly onto the lips and does a great job at staining them! Here is a swatch!:

Here is a swatch of the product on my hand! as you can see I feel that this product has a pink/red undertone to it. Once its on the lips I would say that it gives off a dark pink colour rather than a nude colour.

Although I do like the pinky colour that this product gives off but when I buy a product that tells me it's nude, I expect it to be nude :) as you can see on the picture of the product the nib of the balm is displaying the pinky colour that it applies onto the lips

Overall I would rate this product: ★★★★ 3 to 4 out of 5 Stars! :) 

I rate the product 3 to 4 out of stars one for the product's writing coming off very quickly, and the colour being more of a pink than a nude.

Thanks for reading guys! :) be sure to come back to read more of my posts! In the mean time, why not visit my YouTube channel? iBeauty1995x

REVIEW: Lush Rose (Bubble Bar)

LUSH: Rose Bubble Bar !

                                                                               

Helloooo (: So heres a post from me - finally! I'm going to be doing a review on the rose bubble bar from lush (incase you haven't already guessed;))

So I went into Lush aiming to buy the bunch of carrots, although I only wanted one.. when I discovered that you couldn't buy them individually I refused to pay the price that these tiny carrots were! So I was browsing all of the bath bombs / bubble bars looking for a replacement as these things are highly addictive!

I came across the Rose bubble bar! My favourite colour is pink, so I fell in love with this two-toned pink design! I also feel that the leaf coming from the side of it is sooooooo cute! It gives it a really feminine effect and follows the theme of 'rose.' I was not aware that this product was a glittery product but when I opened it at home and looking at the photo now, you can clearly see specks of glitter! It did not give me any bits of glitter in my bath though so I think the subtle glitter is a win!

This product retails at £2.95 can be found here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bubble-bars/rose 

I  recorded a small clip for you guys just to show you how the bubble bar dissolved, and what it looked like in the bath. You can see that here; 

This product is 100% suitable for Vegan's and only contains natural products! 

- The organic rose hip oil is vitamin rich for super skin! 

- The Rose absolute is balancing and restorative!

- The Fair Trade organic cocoa butter is softening and confiditoning!

I have very sensitive skin and I would say that this product is suitable for sensitive skin types :) eg. oily skin, skin prone to rashes and spots etc. 

Pro's;

- Suitable for Sensitive skin

- Suitable for Vegan's 

- Amazing smell and colour!

- TURNS YOUR BATH PINK;) I mean, who doesn't want that?!?! ;) 

- Subtle amount of glitter

- Is not overpowering!

- Enough for two baths!

- Bubbles!!

- Good Price :)

Con's;

- Product doesn't last too long once in the bath

- I cant think of many cons!! 

Overall I would rate this product: ★★★★ 4 out of 5 Stars! :) 

Thanks for reading guys! :) be sure to come back to read more of my posts! In the mean time, why not visit my YouTube channel? iBeauty1995x
