I bought a pair of GHD straighteners in March. They were great at first, my hair was smooth, shiny and whatnot.

After a few weeks, product began building up onto the ceramic plates. I attempted to remove it but no luck. I ended up resorting to scraping it off but some of the coating came off. Most of my other straighteners did not have this problem.

So product just kept building up, therefore my hair began looking dull and just generally unhealthy.

Anyhoo, a few weeks ago, they blew up, whilst I was straightening my hair! All I heard was this little "Poof" and saw a bit of smoke.

Seriously, if you pay over a £100 for straighteners, you'd expect it to be better quality. Clearly GHD don't understand quality.

I COULD send the straighteners back to customer services and get it repaired. And if I do, not sure I'd want to use it again.

From now on I'm sticking to Corioliss. I've had these straighteners for over 2 years and are still in mint condition, never have a problem with product build up and ohhh yeeeah, it works! :)

I finally jumped onto the bandwagon and bought some goodies from Elf. :)

After all the raving reviews on youtube, I'd be mad not to try it. Plus, it's cheeeap! Wo0t!

Anyways...

Nail polish in Coral (Left) and Champagne (Right). It looks like Champagne must have leaked but I think it looks ace, so I'm gonna keep it that way, ha! :)

From the Studio range, the blusher and bronzer compact. so far I've only tried this and the contouring brush. This is my first bronzer :) I use it to contour my face with a big, fluffy brush, sweeping it down the temples, under the cheekbones and along the jawline. And the remaining product left on the brush goes down the bridge of my nose. So far so good! It doesn't make my face look muddy or anything. I use it sparingly though. :) I applied it this morning but by 4pm, it seems to have worn off quite a bit, it would have probably lasted longer if I used a primer?

The actual blusher is okay, but maybe a bit too pink for my skin tone so I probably won't be using it again. I hope they come out with different shades of blushers and bronzers.

Mineral eye shadows :D

They're either shimmery or frosty. Temptress is probably the only matte shade.

Here's the swatches...

Wild (Top left) Confident (Top right) Socialite (Bottom Left) Sassy (Bottom right)

Celebrity (Top left) Temptress (Top right) Caffinated (Bottom left) Golden (Bottom right)

They all look so pretty. Can't wait to try them out. :D
 The contouring brush from the Studio range. The brush is dense, and picks up colour and easy to blend. All in all it's very good quality :) Bargain for £3.50!
