On to this weeks beauty post....

Now I have always loved the crazy coloured hair styles and dip dyed hair but never actually thought I would be able to get the colours I wanted without bleaching my hair but I found an awesome way of achieving a temporary colour for your hair. I am using non oil pastels ( the colour will rub on your hair better than oil based pastels and the colour will be brighter than using chalk), it will rub on your pillow at night if you want it to last longer and not wash it out but don't worry it will wash out in the wash.

Raising The Brow...

Hello!


I hope you have all been enjoying my how to blogs, if you have missed my reviews you are in luck its review time....BUT FIRST!....


I am running a 5k charity run in July. It is for Cancer Research UK, please do not be put of with donation because it says UK. It is a UK charity and the research is done in the UK but it will benefit the world. If a cure for cancer can be found it can help all those globally who have this awful disease. Please feel free to look at my sponsor site CLICK HERE this is an amazing charity and a worth while cause. To those out side of the UK this is a great race its main colour is pink (i think it use to be for breast cancer but all the cancer research charities merged to fight the same fight). So all the runners usually get dressed up in pink crazy outfits, so if you donate please give me some suggestions as to what I should wear for this race, best answer will win a prize!


Also, Cosmopolitan magazine is running a competition at the moment for bloggers, it is competition open to all bloggers however there is a catagory for new beauty bloggers THAT ME! I count as a new blog as BeautyLLB has been going for under a year. So if you love reading this blog please vote for me CLICK HERE, the blog ULR is http://beautyllb.blogspot.co.uk/ just copy and paste. Thank you for your votes and please tell your friends.


So on to the review....


Eyebrows are big news in the beauty world, I am sure you may have noticed the amount of threading bars that have opened over the past year (in my town alone there is 4 and counting). The style of brows at the moment is more fuller but not over grown. If years of over plucking have left your with sparse brows and growing them out makes you look like you lost a fight with a pair of tweezers have no fear I have the solution!


I love my brows but I love bollywood, Grace Kelly and Audry Hepburn inspired brows thick, full and groomed to perfection. In reality my brows have a good shape ( I have mine threaded, I specify the shape I want some people I have seen just sit in the chair without saying a word then get upset with the result!) I have some random gaps of hairless patches, I have tried pencils and eyeshadow all which work great but the look I like is best achieved with this .....

Scrubbing Up...

Its the bank holiday weekend! YAAAAY. 


So I have run away from the big bad city to the Yorkshire countryside for a city girl this is pretty rural. 


Never fear I have packed my make up case with me and can still post some awesome reviews and how to tips. Now if you have taken the plunge and started to wear lipstick then having smooth, moist lips is important. Applying lipstick to dry, cracked and peeling lips will often make the colour patchy and also show up imperfections like peeling skin. So I am here to show you how you can get super soft lips quickly and easily. 


You will need the following:


A lip balm (not a gloss!!!) something like Vaseline will do.
A tin or container if the lip balm or Vaseline comes in those super big tubs.
Sugar (granulated is best you want something coarse, icing sugar is way to fine)
A spoon
Vaseline tin lip balm, Tea spoon, Jar of granulated sugar
