Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo Review

Morning Lovelies
Yesterday I received some Batiste Goodies from the Lovely Missguided on Twitter & This Morning I used the XXL Volume Dry Shampoo to try it out.



So this was Me at 7am this Morning (dedication)...


My Hair is Really Flat & a tiny bit greasy! Eewwww >.<

I Sprayed the Dry Shampoo in the top sections of My hair so It didn't go on My extensions, then massaged into the roots & brushed out.

I then Styled My Hair & I found it was Matted & a little hard to brush through, But it has left me with gorgeous Volume & Clean looking hair.


I think this Product would be best used If You was having Your hair up & You wanted Lots of volume, I.e A Bouffant because it seems to act as a Dry Shampoo & Hairspray together and when Your hair is down instead of your hair flowing nicely its stuck in one place.

I would Definately use this product again but when I have My hair half up half down & I need some volume ontop.

Have You Tried the XXL Volume Dry Shampoo?

Thanks for Reading Lovelies

I'm Totally Crushing on Ryan Gosling's Scorpion Jacket from the Movie Drive

Hey Girl.

As one popular Tumblr ode to Ryan Gosling says, he's "your favorite sensitive movie dude-turned-meme." Another Tumblr puts it more bluntly. And a recent video by Gosling doppelganger Joey shares "How to Look Like Ryan Gosling." Which got me thinking about snagging Ryan Gosling's style. Forget the hoodie and well-groomed 5 o'clock scruff. I mean, did you see that embroidered scorpion jacket he wore in Drive? (Ahem, in case you can't tell them apart, that's Ryan on the left.)

You can actually buy it -- oh, but making it would be so much more fun. And so I set out to make some sweet scorpion threads inspired by that original jacket -- no satin quilting, no embroidery, just a white jacket from a thrift store and some fabric paint. And since my favorite new sensitive dude happens to be pint-sized, I've decided to make it in miniature for my little gosling. (Note: These instructions can produce a version for a full-sized goose as long as you start with a full-sized jacket!)


Materials:
-White zip-front jacket or sweatshirt
-Pen
-Contact paper
-Craft knife and cutting mat
-Masking tape
-Yellow fabric paint, brush or spray on (for scorpion)
-Orange fabric paint, brush or spray on (for highlights)
-Black fabric paint, brush or spray on (for trim)
-Paint brushes (optional)
-Sewing machine threaded with white thread (optional)
-Scissors (optional)



Make it:
1. Lay the jacket flat and measure the approximate dimensions of the back panel. Cut a piece of contact paper to those dimensions. Draw or trace the outline of a scorpion onto the paper.

2. Use the craft knife and cutting mat to cut out the contact paper stencil.

3. Peel off the paper backing of the contact paper and press the stencil onto the back of the jacket.

4. Paint the entire scorpion shape with yellow paint. (Use fabric spray paint or paint it on with a brush for more precision.)

5. Paint some highlights on the scorpion with orange paint to show the shadows.

6. Line the bottom edge of the jacket, the sleeve ends, and the shoulder seams with masking tape and paint them black.

7. Let the paint dry completely and carefully pull off the tape and stencil. Optional: If the jacket has a hood, cut and hem it to create a collar. (Hey, we're going for authenticity here!)

8. Try the jacket on your littler driver. Okay, so he can't even hold his head up yet, but he sure knows how to grip the wheel! Next up: Get him a driver's license...in 16 years.

Crafty Cinema: 'The Hunger Games' Face Painting & Body Art

The Hunger Games-inspired facepainting. My 'tribute' to Katniss Everdeen: Half my face is painted with foliage for hiding in the woods; and the other has flames to go with her initial on-screen debut where she shows off the amazing dress that Cinna makes for her! My husband painted the Mockingjay on my chest because we ran out of room on my face!

I'm a book geek. 

Last year I became addicted to The Hunger Games trilogy. Think of a teenage version of Survivor – with the twist being that only one person will be left breathing at the end of the series. The story is vivid, emotional, multi-layered and features flamboyant people from “The Capitol” who tattoo, paint their faces and bodies in elaborate designs. They even sport huge, crazy wigs, implant whiskers and permanently embed gems into their skin. Anything goes for the sake of fashion! The author leaves the ultimate vision up to the reader’s imagination, and that was enough for me to get creative. 

And with the movie coming out later this month, I put my vision into action using Tulip Body Art!

Click here to see the trailer!

Click here to see the actors on their mall tour this week.

Body art inspired by people who live at The Captiol. Jewel-toned mosaic blocks with an embedded crystal. This is my friend, Dania from http://LaBeautyPie.com.

I recently gathered some fellow Hunger Games friends and we painted our faces inspired by the characters. The first three are what we think some of the Capitol designs could look like, bold and bright, contrasted by shimmery gold and jewel-tone accents.

The final image is my tribute to Katniss Everdeen, our heroine. Half my face is painted with a forest/jungle theme to help her blend in with her surroundings while the game is being played. The other half is decked out in flickering flames – in honor of her title as “the girl on fire.”

My Katniss-inspired camouflage. See? I told you I was a geek!

More Capitol-inspired designs. Lots of gold accents, like the character of Venia!

Basic painting with glittery designs!

Supplies:

Face and Body Paint Kit: 28841 Festival

Face and Body Paint Kits: 28842 Neon

Tulip® Body Art™ Tools:

-       28850 Angled Barrel Paintbrushes

-       28847 Glitter Brush Set

-       28836 Body Crystals and Adhesive

-       28848Cosmetic Sponges

Lotion

Makeup wipes

Cup of water

Paper towels

Directions:

Version 1:

1.     Wash your face and apply a thin layer of lotion.

2.     Choose a stencil and apply to skin, press down with fingers so there are no gaps.

3.     Dip the sponge in water and then rub in Body Art paint until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.

4.     Dab the paint over the open areas of the stencil.

5.     Continue until stencil is covered. Peel away stencil.

TIP: If you want to add glitter, before removing stencil, add Tulip body Art Adhesive and use brush to add glitter.

Version 2:

1.     Wash your face and cover it with a thin layer of lotion.

2.     Choose a foundation color.

3.     Dip a sponge in water and rub it in the make up until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. Smooth it on around your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth areas. Let dry.

4.     Use one of the brushes and begin to draw out your design shapes using a base color – for example, if you are painting leaves, use green.

5.     Use the darker colors for shading and contour.
