False Nails:

False nails are the most annoying thing right? I mean why do I continue to put myself through this hell of sticking plastic painted claws that stop me from being able to have any use of my hands? However, no matter how bad these things annoy me, I'm probably not going to ever stop wearing them, they are just so much better than natural nails! So, this post isn't just a rant. It's how to make false nails easier in all ways.

1. Firstly, some people try to paint false nails before you put them on. DON'T. Painting them before is a nightmare. Having to find a way to hold the nail and paint it whilst staying paint free is a challenge of its own. So I recommend gluing them on first before painting them.

2. Next, MAKE SURE THEY ARE PRACTICAL. Seriously, If you are spending all day in a bust workplace of at school maybe stiletto nails aren't the best. I learnt this from experience considering I used extremely sharp nails whilst at school: BIG MISTAKE. Make sure if you want stiletto nails to get short ones because they can look just as good and still be practical enough to open cans of coke. 

3. Also, make sure they fit. False nails should look real because otherwise they look amateur and never look as nice. If you buy false nails they should come in a range of sizes so don't use all of the same shape on all the nails otherwise they wont fit in the nail bed. 

4. Finally, Remember to give your nails a break! Nail glue is practically the same as superglue! Just think I am putting practically superglue on my nails on a daily basis, is that really safe? As long as now and again you give them a break, your nails should stay healthy and strong as ever! 

Hope this helped you all

Dry Skin?

Dry Skin is a nightmare, and moisturizing can sometimes feel like a chore, so when you do find the time to moisturize your skin you want to make sure that you are doing what is right for it right?

Here is my top 3 face and body moisturizers. 

1.  Mango Body butter from Body Shop

This product is my favorite product from the body shop. With this product i do feel that it definatley does keep your skin moisturized for a good quantity of time. I can 100% be certain that this particular product has a very wide age range due to the smell mainly. This product is very good for keeping skin feeling healthy and it helps to maintain the way skin looks. I would only use this product on my body and not my face because my personal opinion is that i only use moisturizers that are specially made for you face as the skin is sensitive there.  However, i have two complaints about this moisturizer firstly i feel that this moisturizer tends to leave a slimy and very sticky feeling on your arms so make sure to rub it in extra well. Also, i wouldn't start of using this if you have very dry skin. For me i had to start off with a different moisturizer that fixed my dry skin, THEN i hanged to this one just to maintain my skins condition. This product is a price of £13 and i feel like you get what you pay for here. The smell is very strong and stays well so your skin will smell fresh and like mangoes for a very long time. This product is only sold at the body shop and in online on their website. 

2. Hollister Body Lotion from Hollister 

Hollister has only made two body lotions this one and another scented one very similar to this, however i have only tried this one so it is the only one i can actually review fully. With a narrow age range this product is really aimed at teenagers to young adults mainly because of the smell. Because it leaves my skin soft, i fins myself using this product often only on my body because once again i wouldn't use these type of products on my face. I used this product when i first tried to fix my dry skin and honestly it worked well in areas that weren't that bad but it didn't seem to help the really bad areas at all. My only complaint with this product is i find it quite greasy. It works wonders but for a while afterwards you feel all greasy and it can be quite unpleasant. The smell however doesn't linger as long as i would have liked it too but nevertheless it still smells strong just for a shorter period of time.

3. Nivea Daily Essentials

My favorite face product. I have very sensitive sin so i only use the very best for my skin and i only use what i need so i don't buy fancy moisturizers that are fragranced for my face. I only put on my face what it needs. This product is great and it can be used for any ages. You could use it as a teenager to an elderly lady, this product doesn't have a smell or a color, it is a very basic moisturizer which is what you need for your face. I find that within a week of using this product my dry skin on my face has visibly improved. Whether you have mild or quite visable and bad dry skin, this product will help to remove it and leave your face felling fresh. The only issue i have is that, when you apply this product i feel that it needs to be rubbed in very thoroughly and it takes a while, leaving your skin quite red which is a downside but other than that this product is a miracle worker.

Mondays Makeover!

Hey guys it's Charliye.

Belts can really pull together a look as long as you know what you're doing, however if they are dressed badly they can also stick out and make the look a lot less stylish and a lot more clashy. 

1. Woven Belt.

I love this belt from beyond retro, it is a perfect belt for so many looks. The look i would use it for would be a skater skirt. I know that sounds quite strange at first however i feel that it would really tie together a look like this. Knowing that skater skirts are in for the fall it would be a good way to make one stand out. I would add a floral type lace skater skirt with a woven belt to stand out and make the skater skirt look fresh and new. With this look, i feel like a plain white cami would look good with a pendant necklace, just because i feel like in my opinion this look, would be easily overbearing with a heavy patterned top. This look should be kept quite simple to keep the girly vibe. 

2. Bright belt. 

I love bright belts in summer so i feel like these would be out of season but it you were to go on holiday somewhere hot, i would recommend this look then. Again this look is girly and i love the color of this particular belt. My personal opinion of this belt is that it would look great on a simple outfit with little jewelry. A dress that is plain white, or maybe even a subtle yellow tint would go well with this look. Light blue flats would go perfect with this look. If i was to wear this outfit i would pick the white dress as well as very subtle gold jewelry.

Saturdays Favorite: Foil Nail effects

Hey guys it's Charliye and today's post is product of the week. I love painting my nails but sometimes if your busy or just don't feel like going through the whole process for quirky nails, doing your nails can be a real chore. So when i came across this product i immediately knew i was going to love it.

Barry M Instant nail effects foil. 

I myself have only tested the silver one of the two so i will only be commenting on that. This silver nail effects is my favorite one i have tried from Barry m and honestly i am completely in love with it. This product is really opaque and i feel that it only really needs one coat to cover your nails. I like it because it gives off a very sheer metal almost look yet also it is very thin and soft and it doesn't look clumpy on. It applies just like normal nail polish and it also doesn't clump or stick together so it looks perfect for a quick nail fix. I chose the silver one because if one of my nails chips badly, i can either remove the last of the polish on that finger or apply two coats of this over the chipped nail and my manicure looks almost brand new because this silver looks good with many other colors o. However, if your nails are white or a bright color and a very matte i wouldn't recommend doing that. I feel that it is a good accent nail almost, maybe you could choose a paint with a shimmer and leave a finger or two out on each hand and then add the silver in for a quirky yet quick look. 

 This nail product dries quickly, and because it only needs one coat, i feel that maybe it would only take about 2 minutes to do your nails with this product. Whenever i wear this product i will add a bead or a jewel onto a couple accent nails just so that it really makes the look professional. This look is definatley a quick fix if you are running late and need to finish your nails with a sophisticated looks. 

Hope this helped

Makeover Mondays: Combat Boots

I love combat boots and i feel like having these is a must because the outfit possibilities are endless!

1. Girly look. I love the combat girly look. i think it is very different to many other looks and i absolutely  love it. I would add this with a Canyon dress from Hollister and i would also add a white long cardigan just to tie the look together.  I would add maybe a short necklace and very little and subtle jewelry to get the ultimate girly look. 

2. The second way to style this would be to go all out edgy. I would and some completely ripped up jeans by asos with and maybe style it with either a stylish white top or a cami and a jacket. This look is the very extreme of edgy but still a great outfit without going over the top too much. This outfit is definatley for the bravest of the brave. 

3. the thrid look is very casual. I think it is great for a day when you don't want to think about your outfit and want the easy route out. I would add some short shorts in a washed out denim because you are really trying for the casual and then i would add any shirt i wanted, maybe a cami or maybe add a tucked in sleeveless collar shirt or even a tucked in band tee. Printed cardigan would be great to throw over because i feel like cardigans are always great to girl up a look. Messy bun and subtle makeup always works well with this look because it really looks casual yet like you made an effort even if you didn't.

Must Have Sunday: Clean and clear Face wash

Hey guys its Charliye and i don't know about you but having a good skin is something that i stress over a lot. It can be tough finding face washes that don't irritate or burn, that don't have a smell and that actually keep my skin in good condition. The reason i recommend no fragrance is because mainly it may irritate your skin and on your face you only want the best products for it, you don't want to be putting anything on your face that doesn't need to be there.

This is the clean and clear soothe wash. I love this, i use this twice a day every day and it really works wonders. I could only find this product at £5 per bottle however as of right now there is a sale on at boots which is every 2 items for £5 which i think is great because if you bought a good exfoliate your skin would love you! I don't know if the packaging will be the same all over the world but in the UK they certainly look like this, if you want to find it try the clean and clear website because they will have all the packaging types on there. 

This product works wonders and has really transformed my skin. Before i started using this my skin was terrible, i had very dry patchy skin with lots of blemishes due to a very bad face wash. This face wash is great i find that it always leave my skin feeling soft and refreshed but it also always leaves your skin clean and no residue on your skin. 

Hope this helped, Peace and love as always

Saturdays Favorite: Aussie Hair Products

Hey guys it's Charliye. Here i'm going to talk about my absolutely favorite hair product brand called Aussie Hair.  Click here for the link to the website. (All opinions are mine)

As much as i love this brand i have only tried a handful of products from this brand. I myself have tried The Aussie Color Mate shampoo which i love, it has an amazing smell, almost of peach fruity smell. I love this product it keeps my hair in good condition and it always keeps it clean without leaving a bad smell. This shampoo is a great price for £6 for 500ml of this product, which i think is only a small price to pay to keep colored hair in better condition than ever before! I find this product doesn't remove color from your hair like other brands do which can be annoying! This brand makes my hair feel soft and feel as if it has never been dyed once.

 I have also tried the Color Mate Conditioner which i love also. I love the smell, it is the same fruity smell as the shampoo and this conditioner always leave my hair super soft. Because i dye my hair i have to make sure to find the best conditioners for my hair that keep my hair soft without removing the dye. The conditioner is also a decent price of £6, which i think is a good price for healthy hair. This condition makes my hair feel silky and i find that i only need to use a small amount of it even though i have thick long hair. This product goes a long way with just a small amount.

The 3 minute miracle deep conditioner by them is also very good, It leaves your hair in good condition, i find it helps with frizz well, it also makes damage hair look and appear soft. This 3 minute miracle conditioner works quite well, for 250ml this is £5. It is almost as much for half the amount of conditioner so i feel this is slightly overpriced because compared to the rest of the brand itself however i do find myself using this product quite often. I find this product is very good for keeping hair soft ans silky but it works just as well as the conditioner with is almost half the price for twice the amount. 

Aussie has a multiple array of products but i myself have only used those particular ones because theses are the ones that are to be used on dyed hair. They also have volume brands, heat brands and i think other brands of Aussie products which i cannot wait to try. I do recommend these products because i feel that for dyed hair these products can be make or break. 

Hope this helped you all
