GHD Scarlet collection

I've had my current GHD's for quite a few years and whilst they still work fine, they were looking a little tired. OK it's nothing a bit of a clean wouldn't fix but still the allure of brand new spangly GHD's kept enticing me.

A couple of months ago I was off work with a crippling migraine and whilst I was feeling sorry for myself for being stuck in bed when it was the hottest few days of the year I saw a tweet from GHD saying that their Scarlet collection had £60 off making it only £89!

Bargain! I don't know if it was all the drugs I was on but I caved and bought them! The next day they arrived and I was sooooo excited!

Inside the box you get a red keepsake box to store everything in and inside that you get a little red heat protection bag to store the straighteners in.

You get the straighteners with red plates, two sectioning clips and a rather funky contraption to keep the plates together.

The plates are quite snazzy I think you'll agree!

As well as the straighteners you also get a hair dryer. Yes for £89 I got new straighteners and a new hairdryer!

As the GHD Air dryer had been getting rave reviews I had high hopes for this little beauty. I quite liked how it had a foldy handle which makes it perfect for travelling and for storage.

The dryer has two speeds and a cool setting.

So onto the reviews......

The straighteners are great as always. GHD will never do a bad pair of straighteners. End of. I really like the little contraption you put over the plates, such a great idea. As for the dryer, it dries my hair quickly and is really quiet. If you're looking for a dryer that you can use in the mornings whilst everyone else is asleep then this is for you.

Oh I forgot to mention, even though I got these at the end of May I bought them as a birthday present for myself but my birthday wasn't until the end of June so I had to sit looking at them for a month before I allowed myself to use them!

Currently I'm using the cardboard box to store these in and I use the big red box to store my nail polishes in as they were bursting out of their bag.

I'm really happy I bought these and I can see us having many happy years together!

The month that was....May

Ok I admit I forgot to write this post until this morning when I realised it was actually June! Where is time going?!

And now I'm trying to think of exciting things I've done this month.......hmmm well I've had lots of time off as I've been using my annual leave up because I've been unsure whether my contract at work was going to be extended, which I found out yesterday it has been my hours have been reduced which I'm not happy about but hey ho. I'm also off work today so I get a nice long break with the Bank Holidays and I don't go back until Thursday which is even nicer!

With my time off I also finally got round to sorting out my clothes and donated alot to charity. These were things that have been in the drawers under my bed since I moved last year which I haven't worn since so probably never will.

I also had two days off work last week as I had the worst migraine ever but I did order the Scarlet collection GHD's with hairdryer which was on offer for £89 instead of £149. These are for my birthday which is on the 29th June so I'm going to keep them for then. I also blame all the painkillers I was on for making me slightly irrational and thinking it was ok to buy them!

And I'm also being sucked in to all the things with the Union Jack on for the jubilee.

And one last photo of the amazing weather we had last week but as I was at work or in bed ill I didn't really get to enjoy it but never mind :-(

Hope you had a good month :-)

On my make up table

This is another post I've been meaning to do for a while now but again I haven't had the time.

My make-up table is actually my old computer desk but after I moved I needed a bigger computer desk and a smaller make-up table so I swapped them around.

So here it is:

So what's on it? A lot!

• My No7 magnifying mirror (which I couldn't live without)
• GHDs
• 2x hairbrushes
• A clock
• Multi-coloured bangles
• A basket full of hair products including: hairspray, hair mousse, heat protection spray & heat protection balm
• A basket of make-up which I don't use daily
• A mug with make-up brushes in
• Sure deo
• Urban decay eyeshadow pallet
• A selection of Benefit products

1. Sugabomb
2. Stay don't stray
3. Throb
4. Boiing
5. Lemonaid
6. A powder set (cant remember the name)
7. Powderflage

• 4x foundation
• No7 anti-shine make-up base
• No7 spring eyeshadow pallet
• No7 mineral highlighter powder
• L'oreal true match powder
• L'Occitane moisturiser
• And much much more!

But I also have my little pink stool with products on too as this week at work we are dressing up as a decade from the 40s right through to the noughties and I'm being the 80s so I have layed my things out ready as I have to be up early in the morning.

Right so on the stool there's:

• No7 mineral foundation
• Benefit one hot minute bronzing powder
• W7 neon yellow eye shadow
• Collection 2000 gold glam crystals eyeliner
• Avon bronze lip gloss
• Revlon double twist mascara
• Benefit lyin eyes concealer
• Soap and glory arch de triumph eyeliner pencil
• FCUK make-up bag
• Fresh breath spray!
• And finally a nail file!

Phew! So I think that just about covers everything - oh there is an avon tea tree spot roll on treatment but I'm not going to be wearing that!
