Bling-ing Gorgeous!

last week I did a collaboration shoot with the very gorgeous Valentina who is a model and circus performer!

We wanted to do something with lots of sparkle and after searching the internet for inspiration we came up with the perfect idea!

I couldn't wait to show you the pics so here are a few behind the scenes pics whilst I wait for the final edited ones!

We had a great photographer Paul Claridge ready and waiting to take some amazing shots.....I can't wait to see the final images!

The dream team that worked on this shoot are

Royal Moroccan Hair Serum

Have you ever been flicking through a magazine and had hair envy when looking at the celebrities? Ever wondered how they get their glossy locks looking quite so luscious? Most of you have probably answered yes, well fear not as there is a product that may well hold the answer!

I recently got the chance to try out some products from Royal Moroccan including the serum treatment.

Royal Moroccan is an Argan Oil based product that is a treatment and styling tool all in one. Aiming to give an instant long lasting shine.

This light weight serum will help combat that candy floss like fizz without weighing the hair down.

For anyone who has hair that is thick and coarse like mine you will know what a pain it can be styling your hair, I can honestly say that since I have been using the serum my hair has become more manageable, its like a miracle!! It has even reduced the amount of time it takes to blow dry my hair too!

You can use the Royal Moroccan oil in damp towel dried hair, apply a small amount throughout the hair and then dry and style as normal or use as an intensive treatment by applying all over dry hair and leaving in over night, rinse out and then shampoo and condition as normal.

This is definitely a product that is worth a try!

You can get Royal Moroccan Treatment serum here

Have you tried Royal Moroccan? What did you think?

Bespoke Bride

Recently I was asked to be part of a photo shoot for Bespoke Bride to create some pictures for their fabulous blog! Bespoke Bride is a wedding blog but not just any wedding blog.....Emily and Jess set up their blog to help couple create weddings that are unique to them and simplify their special day

Once the date was set we got the girls all dolled up headed to the sea side! Luckily the sun was beaming although the wind was still blowing!

The scene was perfect we had the sun, the sand and even a vw camper van courtesy of Love Bus Wedding.

Photographer Craig Dearsley took some amazing shots and captured the scene perfectly!

It was a lovely shoot which I am very pleased to have been part of!

If you or someone you know are planning a wedding be sure to pop over to Bespoke Bride for some inspiration and handy hints!

Some of you fashionista's out there will have heard of Puckoo Couture but for those of you who haven't I'm sure you will love them!

Puckoo Couture is the fashion baby of Bristol born designer Dionne Thomas, she has talent running through her veins and set up Puckoo Couture in 2010.
Her range of fashion forward clothing is something that anyone can wear and make it their own.

I was lucky enough to work with this amazing brand on a fashion show as a Make Up Artist and Hair Stylist where they were showcasing the "Animals on Acid range"

The look was a heavy sixties inspired with sleek hair, the models looked amazing and absolutely rocked it on the catwalk!

Bid TV

Hey Lovelies,

I hope you are all well!
I know I haven't blogged for what seems like forever but I do have a good excuse!

I have been pretty busy with work and have been back and forth between Bristol and London which takes up almost as much time as the actual work!

As a freelancer I seem to always have a few jobs on the go at any one time! I'm sure that some of you may have seen on Facebook or twitter that there is one that I am very excited about is that I am a Beauty Expert for Bid TV and Bid Plus shopping channels!

Bid TV Freeview 23 Sky 654 Virgin 745

This means I work on LIVE tv as a guest host representing different Skin care, Hair Care, Nail care and Make Up ranges. I will help to give an expert opinion and a bit more of a professional view on the products and also share some insider tips and tricks for the viewers and buyers!

On my first show I was so nervous I actually thought I might be sick but once we got going I was fine, luckily since then I have got to grips with it all and feel quite confident! Plus I get to try some amazing products.....any beauty junkies dream!

So watch out for me....coming to a TV Screen near you!
