Product of the week!

Im going to start a regular 'product of the week'. I love getting my hands on new products and luckily enough my sister was sent this amazing new 2 in 1 tangle teaser brush by 'ScareDoo'. This brush is great! If you're like me and have  long hair that often gets in a tangle wether im just walking down the street or have justdeeply conitioned it- no matter what it gets tangled! So,as you can imagine this is tres annoying and I need a product that can help me with these knotty issues! This is it! This brush glides through my hair with ease without ripping half my hair out in the process (which is always a bonus.) 

Another great feature that really makes this product stand out from the rest is its two way brush! Just a simple click of the tangle brush and you can flip it over to the all time fave paddle brush! Even better is, the accesable space inside can be used to store all those forever dissapearing hair toggles and bobby pins! Pefect! 


Overall this product is great for any-one with knotty hair and at only £10.99 there's no reason not to have one! Another absolutely amazing bonus is they donate £1 from every brush sold to the pink ribbon foundation charity! Totes- worth every penny in my case, so get online and order one asap❤️

If you have this product or have any question's, feel free to comment below!

Ashleighs Nails!

Its that time again,new nails time! I absalutley love changing my nails and I will try my best to keep udating blogs about them! First up (better late than never) is the halloween nails! I went for a simple yet unique approach to halloween with thses mix&match scary prints! The thumb is hidden but that was a pumpkin, the rest are the more favourable to me! All of them were created with different colour nail pens! A key element to any keen nail artist! I think these turned out ok overal, and they dried just in time for me to open all the sweets!! 

My next set of nails from this month were inspired by a post I saw on @wahnails instagram! I love following them for inspiration as they always have the best and freshest designs out there! I went for this monochrome style with a hint of red to make it pop! I also wanted to try out my black matte with shiny black tips! Look at my first 'Ashleighs nails' blog to see how I create the hounstooth effect! I created this look with a BarryM black matte and silky red polish with black and white nail pens from models own! 

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy:)

Newcastle shop!

So, I havent posted in a while and I am truly very sorry! However,I have a little treat as im posting twice today! Thats right two posts! Awesome. Anyway, the reason I havnt been posting much is because ive been a busy bee interning at this really cool digital marketing place so I have been blogging but just for other companies! The pics below are from a little shopping I did at the metrocentre in Newcastle! I went up a few weeks ago to visit a friend who's at uni up there! I had a truly amazing time and will never forget that weekend! So,here are a few goodies I got! 
Zara Tan Bag- £24.99
Above is one of fave buys of the day! This amazing leather luxe tote from Zara. I couldnt resist, at only £24.99 who would? Its perfect to fit my mac book in and loads of room for day to day wear! Deffinatley my deal of the day :)

Primark Denim Faux fur Jacket- £19.99

Another bargain above,this lush denim jacket from Primark! So comfortable and extra fur lining for that little bit of warmth needed now its getting cooler! This was only £19.99 and goes with any outfit, perfect all year round too! 
H&M wax effect skinny jeans- £22.99
Zara Denim Jegging skinnies- £19.99

I needed some casual/smart clothing for work so I decided to buy some new skinnies whilst I could. There great to wear with anything and I think these dark colours are perfect for smart/casual office wear! Anyway,these luxe wax effect skinny jeans were £22.99 from H&M wheras the dark blue denim jegging's were only £19.99 from Zara! 
H&M Floral B&W Kimono- £16.99

Above is another great H&M buy! This floral kimono is perfect for day wear or evening! Paired with black skinnies or a little black dress thus kimono adds an element of class to any outfit! This top was £16.99.


Last but not least,beauty! I had to grab some new make-up for this winter weather,ive been looking ghostly for the last month and needed some brightening up! The boots in the metro centre is also massive so had to give it a go! I started of with the nails,ive been wanting matte polish forever and spotted this croc crackle whilst at the Barry M station. I thought they would work wanders together but thats for another post! They were £3.99 each. Next I moved onto the face, powder and foundation are a basic necessatie and I needed to top up! I went for Max factor powder (as always) its my favourite powder! It always feels so light and makes the best difference! The foundation was a first for me, I usually use Rimmel but I went for a different type. This Wake me up however is really great! Its ever so slightly dark for me  but it still fits my complexion after a light brush on! It feels airy and doesnt leave me looking greasy and orange after,bonus! 

Overall I loved newcastle and wish I could of splashed way more cash but unfortantley with christmas coming up I wasnt allowed:( Nevermind,all set for the office and fresh faced too!
