NARS Afghan Red Lipstick



Having been a fan of NARS for some time now it was about time I got myself a lipstick for all those Christmas events that are soon to come around.

Afghan Red is a gorgeous dark red/plum shade that is perfect as a winter shade for your lips. It has a satin formula and glides onto lips with a rich pigment whilst giving beautiful shine. 








I'm really into my dark lipsticks, so this addition is perfect for my growing collection.

Have you ever had a NARS lipstick?


At First Sight by NARS




The other day at work we got to play around with the new At First Sight palette from NARS.

Creating two looks that you can check out on the HQHair blog ( Lilac Look and Smokey Eye), which I then got to take home to enjoy myself :)

With 4 beautiful eyeshadows accompanied by a blusher and bronzer, this is a real all rounder for making creating looks for everyday an easy task.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink




I'm a nightmare with hair! I'm forever wanting to go from blonde to brunette and it's only my will power to get longer, healthier hair that's stopping me from making changes at the moment. 

So to ease my hair colour craving, I've decided to try myself with the world of hair chalks!

I saw this Colorsmash collection whilst I was at work one day and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Torn between a gorgeous fuchsia pink and jade green, I opted for the Cosmopolitan pink channeling Beyonce from her Bootylicious days (as if I could ever look as good as Queen B, but here is my attempt)




Adding it to the ends of my extensions and rubbing through to get a faded out, dip dye feel. 





The colour looks really strong in the pot but once you get it on your fingers and rub in, it looks divine. Just add a bit of hairspray to hold it and then you're ready to go. Giving me my fix of colour change I need in order not to get bored. 



Best thing about this, it washes out. So if you then get bored of that colour, you can just wash it away. I'm definitely going to be looking into the Jade version of this now. 

ORLY Mani Mini Lacquer Trio



This summer neon is going to be everywhere and if you're not brave enough to bright clothing, pull off the trend with neon nails!

This Mani Mini Lacquer Trio from ORLY provides you with three 5.3ml bottles of the brightest and most summer ready colours for you to enjoy. 





Wear solo or mix and match these brights that will really show off your tan, no matter if it's real or not.

You can find ORLY polishes at HQHair



Friday Favourites #5

So this week I decided that my theme would be accessories. Simply because every girl loves them and my choices could be completely random. 

It was really fun putting this together, going with items that I instantly loved, including a pair of Kurt Geiger platforms that I've had my eye on for months now. 




NEW The ORLY Mash Up Collection



If you're looking for a collection that's summer ready for any style then this is a definite win!

Featuring 6 colours that spark off the neon, glitter and pastel trends of this year.
