How To Stop Split Ends

hey guys, i've heard a few people recently moaning about their split ends and saying how damaged their hair is so i though i could make a blog post for you all on how to prevent your hair from being damaged and keeping it in good condition.
if you are looking to get length on your hair you need to trim off the split ends. i would recommend using a pair of nail scissors that you just buy cheap at a drug store. they are very small which makes it easy to cut those ends and leave the rest of your hair.
you can do it at any time whether you are just relaxing, watching tv or i sometimes even do it when i'm sat in a boring lesson! take a small section of your hair, go down to the ends of the hair and when you see a split end, just cut it off.
another way to get rid of split ends is to twist your hair, you will then see small sections poking out, once again check for any split ends and just cut them off. most of your split ends will be at the sides of your hair which frame your face, usually caused by brushing, pony tails sleeping etc so be sure to check those areas of your hair the most.
carry out this method to all of your hair, if you do not get rid of the split ends, the split will travel further up your hair making it weak and eventually break off.
by trimming your hair it will stop it from any breakage or damage and will definitely help the growth of your hair.
 if you do this whenever you think of it, it will save your hair from unnecessary damage.
this is the only way you can trim split ends from shorter hairs that may previously have been broken and prevent further damage.
i really hope this post helped and it your have any further questions feel free to ask:) gyps x x

Lemony Flutter Review

a few of you might have heard of the product lemony flutter that lush sells. well if you haven't heard of it you definitely need to check it out, its amazing!
you can get it in lush stores for £16.95, which i know sounds a lot and i wouldn't normally spend that on a lush product but its worth it. if you haven't heard of it and don't know how to use it i will explain underneath:
apply it to your cuticles and any areas that are cracked that need softening including feet, elbows and knees. you hardly need any for it to spread a long way so it will last a very long time. i got my pot about 8 months, i use it every day and still have a lot left. it is made with fresh lemons, beeswax and avocado oil to soften your skin, which is definitely what it does.


i will be doing more reviews as i carry on blogging, so if there is a review you want me to do about a certain product comment below and ill definitely do it! gyps x x 



Orly No Bite Review

hey guys, i have a list of posts that i want to do and its pretty long, this is the first day i've had free for a while so that's the reason i've done a few today.
this post is a review on Orly no bite. it is a nail bite deterrent and its the best thing i've ever used. i've bitten my nails my whole life so my mom decided to get me this, i have been using it for about 3-4 weeks and honestly, my nails have grown so much.
the idea of it, obviously is to stop your nails, it is a clear nail varnish, and makes your nails very shiny, but it tastes very bitter.
you apply it to your nails as you would with a normal nail varnish and it only takes around 30 seconds to dry which is another good point about it. i usually apply it when i wake up, after school, and before bed because the taste does tend to ware off.
it is £8.79 and you can get it online, i'm pretty sure my mom got a new and sealed one from eBay so you should check that out.
if you dont have this product then you need to get it (if you bite your nails obviously) its amazing and one of the few things ive bought and am completely happy with, gyps x x

How To Look Like Kendall Jenner Tutorial

so this post is going to be a tutorial post on how to look like kendall jenner with the kind of makeup to wear and the clothes to wear on special occasions and casual outings, if you want to know any other tips please tell me in the comments and i will get back to you. so in case you dont know who kendall jenner is, it is the girl underneath this paragraph and also a half sister to kim kardashian.
i will showing and telling you how to get the same hair as her, the same skin tone and eye makeup and dress the same as her, so i hope this helps alot. i watched a youtube video on this and really helped alot, i feel like my eye makeup is now similar to kendall, so i will share my tips and other tips i have heard. 
so in the 5 pictures above are her 'casual' clothes. she usually wears denim shorts, alot of the time from bambi and manson which ill put a link to in a second. then with her shorts she wears colourful vests and sheers tops with flats and sunglasses. if she isnt wears shorts she is wearing rolled up jeans like in the fourth picture along. you can find clothes like these in a lot of places and depending where you go, the price will vary. here is the link to bambi and manson http://www.bambiandmanson.co.uk/
so in the picture above, you can see that the outfits in that photo are her formal clothes for the red carpet or a family meal,etc. she loves to wear high waisted skirts with dressy tops, or very pretty dresses. you can easily get this look just by buying a high waisted skirt which they sell in a lot of places and a flowy nice top to match the skirt, which they sell in places like primark, h&m, new look etc. 
so in the picture above, it really focuses on her eyes, she likes to wear dark eye makeup, bronzer and pale lips. i will now tell you how to get your eyes to look like that.

 first you use a white eye shadow and blend it into your eyelids, don't use too much just use enough to cover the eyelid with a thin layer. then choose a big eye shadow brush and a shimmery white highlighter and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes and on your brow bone.

   pick a grey-ish purple colour and brush it all over your eye lid on top of the white, NARS cosmetics do this perfect colour. the great thing about using a white underneath this, is it really brings the colour out and makes the colour pop.

 then take a bit of a darker grey and brush it in the outer corners of the eye up into the crease. once you have done that, take a white again and apply it in your lash line kind of like an eyeliner but with eye shadow instead.

 try and find a really soft black eyeliner and apply it on the inside of your eye on the bottom. if you aren't very good at tight lining then do this and when you have done close your eyes fairly tight and when you open them it will be on the top as well, depending on the eyeliner you use it will show up more/less. if it didn't transfer, then take your eyeliner and rub it into your top lash line.

 use an angled eye liner brush and apply some of your eyeliner onto the brush, when you have done that rub it in the outer corners of your eye but don't flick it out too much, just go to the edge. using the brush makes it look more smoky than defined which is what kendalls eyes usually look like.

take an eye shadow brush and a black eye shadow, and go over everywhere you have eyeliner on with it to seal it and make it stay on and not smudge as much. something about powders makes it not smudgy stay on for longer. 

take any mascara you like and apply it any way you feel comfortable doing, kendall have really thick eyelashes so applying a lot of layers will help achieve this look. remember to always apply layers of mascara while it is still wet so it doesn't go clumpy. 

she likes to wear pale pink on her lips a lot so either take a pale pink lip gloss or a pale pink lipstick and apply it on your lips, but not too much that it look heavy. 

finally pick the bronzer of your choice and apply it with a bronzer brush, make it heavier at the top of your cheeks going down into a lighter colour as you get closer to your nose and lips. 

so there you have it, this is how to look like kendall jenner, i hope you all really enjoyed this and i hope it helped, if you have any questions please ask me in the comments or if you have any of your own tips share them with us and write them in the comments also, keep subscribing, gyps x x
