Love thy make up's Blog

At this time of year, we find our hair is often lacklustre and dry following months of cold winter days and the drying effects of central heating. So, to treat ours we’ll be making a homemade olive oil hair mask. Simply mix two eggs with five tablespoons of olive oil and apply to your hair, before wrapping in a warm towel for 15 to 20 minutes. Once it’s had time to fully soak in, just shampoo and condition as normal and voila, you’ll have much improved locks and all without having to splash too much cash! x

Statement lips are going to be popular this season if the catwalks are anything to go by and it’s a look that anyone can achieve. You simply need to choose the right lip shade for you.

We love our Technic range of lippies, which boasts a variety of colour popping shades that cost just £1.25 each! Keep the rest of your makeup toned down and let your lips do all the talking! x
