Spa Find - Conditioning Scalp Mud Review*

I have heard of a lot of hair products but never a scalp mud. And that's why when Spa Find sent me their Conditioning Scalp Mud to try, I was more than intrigued.

The mask is creamy and thick with a rich floral scent that my hair loves!

After using this Scalp Mud for a few washes, I noticed that my hair was a lot shinier and softer. Not only that, the condition after I dried it was great too. 

But I've got to say the biggest difference was how long my hair lasted without getting greasy from using the mud. Usually I'm a shower ever day kind of girl, but with this mud, I can go a few days without water touching my hair. Impressed indeed.

Make Them Shine - Ciate Glitter

I saw this look on a fashion edit in a magazine last year and ever since I haven't got it out of my mind. 

It's quite a simple look really but I think it's just beautiful. 



I took my favourite base coat from Nailtiques and applied a layer. 

Then it was time for some serious glitter. I took Party Shoes from Ciate and applied 2 layers of this onto my nails. Then sealed with my Speed Top Coat.

Simple, but stunning in my view.

Renunail - My Nail Transformation

Over the last few weeks I have gone on a journey to longer, prettier nails. 

Fed up of wearing falsies and making jokes about how (not) gorgeous my chewed up stubs looked, I wanted to finally take on this bad habit and nip it in the bud.

This is where Renunail comes in. 

The Dr Lewinn's Renunail Original Nail Strengthener eliminates peeling, flaking and chipping whilst working on nail strength, growth and health. You start the process with 2 layers of Renunail on your first day, followed by 5-6 days of 1 layer. Once the week is up, you remove with nail varnish remover and start the process again over the next 4 weeks. You should leave your nails for a 2 week break in between months.

So here is my before and after... Pretty impressive I think

As well as Renunail just generally being amazing for your nails, for me as a nail biter, the ritual of adding a layer every day and seeing them grow so fast really helped with stopping chewing on them. 

I would showcase my nails to everyone I could and soon started painting them. Now I can't get enough of my new, healthy and long nails. Everyone has noticed how nice they look now and I feel so much more like a girl now. 

I can't recommend Renunail enough. If you're a nail biter like me or your nails are suffering in the cold weather, then give Renunail a go.

Silver Band Nails with Ciate

I am obsessed with doing my nails atm. 

One. I love picking a new colour, sitting myself down and having a half hour quiet session doing my nails. It's like meditating.

Two, it helps with my nail biting. I haven't chewed on my precious ten in over a month now and painting my nails not only reminds me of how pretty they are long, but when I get a bit fiddly and stressed out, I can pick the nail polish off rather than biting my nails. Problem solved.

So my latest manicure uses a brighter shade than my recent colours of late. A baby pink from Ciate with a silver french tip on my feature nail.

I always, always, always put a base coat on when I put a new nail polish on. I'm currently using the Nailtiques Protein Formula 1, created for flexible and brittle nails. It has left my nails so strong after just a few uses and my once bendy nails are now as hard as, well, *nails*. 

I had to do 4 layers of this Ciate nail polish to get an opaque finish. I'm putting this down to the fact that it's a light shade but Ciate polishes dry fast and don't smudge easily so this is a non-issue really. 

Silver glitter from Locket then goes onto my ring finger and is sealed in with the Ciate Speed Coat. 

I wonder what my next meditation session will hold. Feeling creative.

Getting Floral with Primark

I took a little visit to one of my favourite places the other day and I found the cutest accessory for those sunny days that I hope will turn up soon. 

How adorable are these daisy print sunnies! Just £2 too and bang on trend for spring 2014!

Friday Favourites #25

After moving out, getting myself on the road and starting a new job, it is so nice to get back in the swing of things with Beka's Beauty. Friday Favourites is probably one of my favourite features, mainly because it's so simple to do and it allows me to put my beauty and fashion dreams out there without having to getting my purse out. 

This week's Friday Favourites features a print that I think will be EVERYWHERE in the next few months. I remember daisy prints like this being around when I was growing up in the 90's and I'm kind of loving the comeback. I love the idea of this dress being worn for a girly lunch or casual date, and those shoes! Swoon! I am really looking forward to summer and getting my legs out with a pair of tan boots or heels.

I haven't really had any adventures of late, as you can see from my blog. So where have you been or want to go that's maybe worth a visit? Let me know :)

MUA Make Up Brush Binge

This is probably a beauty blogging sin, but I don't actually have that many make up brushes.

So when I browsed the pages of MUA the other week, I thought I'd start to get myself on track with a few budget brushes to see where they would take me. 

I opted for 3 eyeshadow brushes and a concealer brush. 

I've got to say, that these brushes instantly look luxurious. Black, sleek packaging with minimal writing just looks really smart in my opinion. The quality of the brushes are great too, they blend colour perfectly and the concealer brush doesn't smudge my foundation once on. 

And at just under £2 each, I think these are an amazing start to what could be a make up brush hoard.

What are your favourite make up brushes and why? What should I invest in next?

Saffron Nails - Bargain Buy

Since I've managed to stop biting my nails and grow them, nail polishes are back on the menu for me and I've scouted out an amazing little purchase whilst on a girly shopping trip in Warrington. 

There were so many colours to choose from but I went for this gorgeous iridescent burgundy shade that's really up my street at the moment. At just over £1 I was chuffed with this little purchase. 

After two coats I got a glossy, streak free finish that hasn't chipped now for 4 days. Pretty Impressed. I don't think this will be my last purchase from Saffron anytime soon.

Lime Crime Velvetine Dupe - MUA

So this post involves 2 of my favourite beauty brands, Lime Crime & MUA. I haven't, as of yet, used any products from Lime Crime, I've merely admired greatly from afar.


So when I saw the Velvet Lips from MUA, I couldn't help but notice that it was a great dupe for the Velvetines that Lime Crime have on their site. 

They look like a normal lip gloss, but once on, dry into a matte finish that I've only ever seen achieved with a lipstick! So, I'm kinda impressed. 

What do you think? Have you tried Lime Crime before?

MUA Lipsticks

I have been slightly obsessed with MUA recently and it's not hard to see why.

They have an amazing range of quality make up without the huge price tag. So I had a little spree before Christmas and I've only just got settled enough to get them out, pictured and now blogged about, starting with this gorgeous lipstick duo.

I love berry lipsticks and I've wanted a nude lipstick for a while, so I thought I'd take the risk (at just £1.99 each) and I loved the results. 

Here is Totally Nude on. It has a really creamy texture but takes a few layers to get great coverage.

And here is Wild Berry, with a more shiny finish.

Have you bought anything from MUA before?
