The Good, The Bad and the Gullible...

I need help! I've sampled 3 new products this month and they really haven't set my world alight. I need suggestions and I need them now!! On the flip side I've also found 3 beauty products I will use forever and ever! Let's get started:

1) Umberto Giannini Incredible Body Shampoo & Conditioner

The ad campaign for the Incredible Body range was quite simply genius. Millie Macintosh, hunky man and an interactive comic book ad (which you HAVE to read - CLICK HERE) - it was all so perf. So obviously I bought it! 

I can't say my hair didn't fluff up a bit because actually it did! I went from flat and limp to big and bouncy in about 2 weeks but then my hair also went dry and...rather crazy! Despite using heaps of conditioner my hair was simply impossible to brush out post-shower which added at least 15 extra minutes to my morning! Also, I can't say much about the scent for this Shampoo and Conditioner: Bland is the only word to use  to describe how it smells wet and dry! I much prefer products that smell delicious not just mid-wash but afterwards too - Can anyone recommend their fave shampoos?! I'm running on empty and need suggestions!

2) Little Mix by Collection - Jesy's Full On Mascara

This is the promo pic of Jesy on the page where you can buy this mascara:

This is my sad, gullible little face when I tried out the mascara:

NO! Not really! But still I was rather upset! Basically, Little Mix have taken the advice of other such pop stars who have 'branched out' and sold their personalities to sell random low-quality products! Boo...hoo! Even after 3 coats of this mascara my lashes were still nowhere near my usual every day length never mind boasting a 'full on' look. Other than Natural Collection, what other fabulous, affordable mascaras can I try?! Tell me now!

3) Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

This powder actually isn't a terrible product! The only thing that got to me was the fact that all the powder bunched up together and I had to stab it into loose powder for it to be any good. Other than that it lasted a whole month and didn't wear off my skin for a good 5-6 hours! That is a decent no-shine time! The Natural Collection version never congealed like this one so I'm tempted to go back! What powder do you use? I need to know!

Ok... Never mind the bad products because I know someone will set me straight by Tweeting me at @sheldan2207 OR post me your pics on Instagram (ShelbyLT22)! I want to get to know some new products!

Let's move on to 3 fabu products that I now can't live without:

1) Palmer's Firming Cocoa Butter

I apply this to my legs, bum, boobs and tum every single night and have noticed a considerable difference to my skin. I have less cellulite on my bum and thighs, super smooth skin and also smell rather delicious in the morning! 

2) Boots Soft Cosmetic Sponges

I've recently learnt the importance of changing your cosmetic tools every week - and these are affordable at only £1.95 for four and they feel amazing on your skin. I've tried some Superdrug sponges before and they felt much rougher than these! For a smooth, even coverage these are the best.

3) OPI Princesses Rule!

Kim Kardashian has been sporting short, feminine, subtle nails recently so I have also sported short, feminine and subtle nails. It's that classic Mean Girls moment:

Instead of getting a set of long Acrylics, I opted for a grown up full set of Gels coloured with OPI's Princesses Rule! A beautiful shimmering pink, this polish is one of the only colours I will ever re-use. Kim will be so proud. Probably...

Beyoncé's Drastic New 'Do - Yay or Nay??

I literally can't believe what is happening in the world today. I've been awake less than an hour and I've discovered things I really wish I hadn't! Firstly, Beyoncé has chopped her hair off.

Don't get me wrong, Bey hasn't pulled a Britney, gone mad and shaved her head but she might as well have.

Not long ago the world was applauding her holiday weave, effortlessly flowing in the wind whilst caring for little Blue Ivy and enjoying a little R&R In between tour dates:

The photo is pure beauty. Then, this morning this is thrown at me and I have to do a double take! 

This is Beyoncé's brand new pixie cut! For all my am drams I don't think this is the worst look Bey could have gone for but it just doesn't suit her! Whether I'm just used to seeing her look so perfectly glam, or I'm not used to seeing her look this average - the verdict is a 3/10 for this little cut.

There have been a few celebs that have angered me with new 'dos over the years! Check them out, see if you agree -

Miley Cyrus' massive Draco Malfoy fail: 

Rihanna's Jedward impression:

That thing that Cassie did:

Willow Smith's pink shave:

Anything Kesha does:

My 2nd discovery will be posted a little later on at my other site: www.obsessedwiththem.wordpress.com

Has Lamar really done this to Khloe?!

Jessica Ennis' Stunning Wedding Glamour

Showcasing chic and understated glamour, Jessica Ennis married her childhood sweetheart on Saturday 18th May in the picture-perfect Derbyshire countryside.

The 27-year-old Olympic gold-medallist tied the knot to Andy Hill wearing an ivory sleeveless gown complete with a ruffle tulle skirt and exceptionally classic hair and make-up. 

Having been together for over eight years, the couple chose the charming village of Hathersage in Derbyshire where members of the public burst into applause as they caught a glimpse of the bride and groom.

Choosing such a classy look suits Jess down to the ground! Proving that less can be so much more, everything about the bride is pulled off with utter perfection; to the point where I had to stop and stare at the photos for a good few moments: From the French mani to her trademark statement brows every simple detail is professionally polished.

Wearing her winning smile as her most dazzling accessory, Jess looked like the happiest girl in the world on Saturday! Congrats to the happy couple!

KoKo's Killin' It!

I am absolutely LOVING Khloe Kardashian's looks right now! Her daytime shabby chic get up looks comfy, versatile and bang on trend and she's always managed to pull off a smokin' red lip like a pro!

Let's begin with the Arthur George socks tucked perfectly inside those fresh Timberland's!! Rob Kardashian's sock line is available online at agsocks.com and luckily for us they now do international shipping! I'm feeling to grab a few pairs on pay day especially the dip dyes (http://agsocks.com/dip-313.html), diamond leg warmers (http://agsocks.com/tights-leggings/diamond-warmer.html) and couture zebra prints (http://agsocks.com/zebra.html)! All very hot trends this Spring!

Can I move on to her AMAZING LIPS?!?! If I had to bizarrely chose my favourite lips of all time, Khloe would win hands down! They're always so juicy looking, whether she's rocking a nude or a fuchsia! I mentioned in my beauty post last week that I'm going to be bold and rock some brighter shades this summer! If you ever needed to plump that pout, using statement shades is the way to go...

Luckily for me not only has my hair grown, it has grown FAST! So I sort of look like I tried that dip dye hair trend that went on last month...I'm happy Khloe is still sporting the same look! If she could carry this on until I have my hair done it would be awesome! What are the hottest hairstyles at the moment? I'll investigate this for tomorrow's post!

What do you think of Khloe's socks and lippy? Hot or not?!
