Kiss Haute Couture Eyelashes

Regular readers will know I LOVE falsies, I actually feel naked on a night ot without them. 

When I was asked to review these new lashes by Kiss* I was so excited, brand new to hit Boots stores everywhere are these amazing Haute Coture Lashes, there are 3 styles in the range, Kiss, Lust & Wink. 

I have reviewed Lust, and I was not disapointed... 

Perosnally these lashes, in my opinion are to heavy for daytime wear, they are thick and full and give a very dramatic effect to your eyes. Kiss lashes are always really black, eliminating the need for mascara, except on your bottom lashes of course. 

If you are inexperienced in applying falsies these even come complete with a handy applicator, which will long outlive the lashes so keep it handy as I am sure you'll find it very useful! 

The packaging is really eye catching & very appealing to the beauty savvy girlies out there. 

 One thing I realy like about these lashes is the glue that comes with them, its really hard to capture it on camera but the glue itself is a pearlescent type of fluid, and this glue is fantastic! It dries really quickly and holds so well. I hate the glue that comes with some lashes and its really wet and takes ages to go tacky, again if you have found lashes hard to apply in the past you should invest in a pair of these as the glue makes it really easy. 

Despite the fact that they are dramatic lashes they give a very natural look, I have shot the lashes at different angles so you can see the effects. 

These lashes are on sale in Boots now & currently they are on buy one get one half price, at £5.49 per pair. 

What do you think of these Kiss lashes? Will you be investing in a pair?

Garnier Body Ultimate Beauty Oil

As an avid moisturiser, I was so happy to see this hit the shelves in my local Boots recently. And it's currently on 3 for 2, so if you haven't tried it yet go grab some!

This is the first beauty oil for the body, and Garnier know they are onto a good thing by bringing us this little gem.

You'll have no doubt seen the influx of hair oils on the market, and this is a luxurious body treat using the same idea.

The body oil smells delicious, enriched with Enriched with 4 precious oils - Argan, Macadamia, Almond & Rose, and it's 5 times more concentrated than any regular moisturiser.

You would expect the oil to leave you feeling greasy, but this miraculous oil glides on and melts into your body, It gives you a lovely dewy glow, and your skin looks super polished.

Give it a go if you haven't tried it already, priced at £7.99 and considering you only need 6-10 sprays per application a little goes a long way!

My Birthday Celebrations!

Last week I turned 27, and as this was to be my first birthday as a single gal in years I was dreading it, I was sad at the thought of waking up on the day without my ex and that I wouldn't feel happy like I did when he made an effort to make my day special.

Well I am pleased to report I couldn't have been more wrong!!

What an amazing birthday, one I wont forget in a hurry.

Upon coming into work I had cards waiting for me, and a cute little plant... these little thoughts were enough to make me feel that my day was going to be special after all.

My actual day of birth was Thursday the 11th of October, after returning home to work my housemates had gone to a huge effort for me...

Presents & Cards were a lovely surprise to come home too :)



In addition to these lovely gestures, my phone had been going crazy all day, and I was definitely feeling the love with a huge amount of birthday messages on my Facebook & Twitter, thank you to all of you for thinking of me on my special day :)

Followed by a Chinese for tea on the Thursday night, and the standard bottle of wine of course I was well in birthday mode :) and the nights out hadn't even arrived yet...

And those of you who know me well will know that my Hello Kitty cake was the perfect ending to the evening :) 

After getting my Friday at work outta the way, It was time to party! I had 2 nights out to look forward to, the one on Friday night was a booze cruise to celebrate someone else's birthday, so double celebration, and lets just say I had the BEST night ever...here are some pictures from the night..

The booze cruise was 4 hours of fun & then we all hit the town after, It was so good to let my hair down and party, I definitley needed it!

After only a couple hours sleep I woke up the next day and the thought of having to go out the same evening was a little cringeworthy! Never the less, being a blogger I have the best in cosmetics to hide a multitude of sins, so at 7 in the evening I jumped in the shower and poured out another drink...

After an hour of prepping I was ready for my night out with my Plymouth friends...

Sunday was a day of rest for me, after having around 5 hours sleep all weekend it was a perfect chance to relax in my Hello Kitty onesie a birthday present from my wife Amanda :)

Safe to say my birthday was AWESOME! Thank you to all of you for making me feel so loved and liked on the day, I will never forget the efforts you went to.

Happy Birthday to me :)

E-Raze Non Laser Tattoo Removal (not good if your squeemish)!

 
Regular followers of my blog will know that following my recent relationship split I had to look into option for removing the permanent declaration I had made to my ex when i had this tattoo on my body.

So my options were, a cover up, resulting in me needing something bigger & darker to cover it up, or laser removal, at a costly price in comparison to what I originally paid to get it done. 

I stumbled across E-Raze Non Laser Removal, and after looking into it and pricing it up I decided to go for it, I was terrified, especially when I received the tube of numbing cream to apply before hand.

The day of my appointment arrived, I turned up to with my Mum & the bestest Amanda in tow for moral support, I am such a wimp! 

I don't really know what I expected, except pain!! 

The lady performing the treatment explained exactly what was going to happen, using a special liquid called Rejuvi, she tattooed over my original tattoo. 

The Rejuvi liquid works by forming a hard crust over the tattoo to which it is applied, and pulls all the ink to the surface, dragging the pigment to the surface. The key to this treatment working is to keep the crust dry & also to not pick at it!! The crust comes off in 10-14 days and should remove most of the tattoos pigment with it.

Here is the techinal info on e-raze: 

The e-raze Rejuvi system is a unique method of tattoo ink extraction which is designed to completely remove your tattoo ink pigments from the body. The treatment has been extensively researched, developed and tested for over ten years, and in use worldwide for over eight years.

The treatment utilizes similar methods as having the original tattoo. The removal formula is delivered to the ink using a tattoo or permanent make-up machine, therefore the treatment can only be performed by a trained tattoo or permanent make-up artist or medical professional. The extraction cream is specifically designed to blend with and capture the original tattoo ink.

The formula then forms into a thicker substance which the skin easily pushes out taking the captured tattoo ink with it. A number of treatments are normally required to completely remove a tattoo. After the treatment course is finished the skin should return to its natural state over a period of months*. There are numerous benifits to this method of removal compared to other methods. for more detailed technical information on the remover click here.

The e-raze treatment is substantially less painful than other removal methods and the treatment course and subsequent tattoo removal is typically much faster and more effective than laser removal options, including effective removal of all tattoo colours.

The e-raze system is suitable and effective on both professional, home made tattoos and permanent make-up and on most areas of the body apart from sensitive areas near the eyes or areas where high levels of moisture occur (where special aftercare considerations may be required). The treatment is not colour selective (unlike laser) and acts on all colour pigments equally.

Here is my tattoo straight after my removal...

It looks really red around the area, this is purely due to the skin being manipulated slightly during treatment. You can see the Rejuvi liquid has formed a layer on the tattoo and the black you can see in the layer is the tattoo pigment coming to the surface. 

I will keep you updated on the progress of my removal, as I cant wait to see the results! 

Here is days 2, 3 & 4...

Like I said I will keep you updated, via my instagram on a daily basis, so if your not already following me on there add me missejkelly

Check out the E Raze Website for further info...
http://www.e-raze.com/ and to find a clinic or tattoo place near you that offers the service.
Expect to pay anything up to £150 per treatment, this depends on the place you go and the size of the tattoo you want removing.

I am sorry for the gross pictures, I know they aren't pretty, I just hope the pain and scabbing is worth it!

And a note to anyone out there considering getting a name tattoo.....DON'T you don't want to end up in the predicament I was in! 

Have you ever had a tattoo removed? I would love to hear your experiences!
