Threading vs Waxing

Threading vs Waxing which one comes out on top?
There is one thing that i hate the most that is my eyebrows, they have always been big and bushy and horrible to control or tame! Ive always had a problem with my eyebrows no matter what they just seem to grow.
I first had my eyebrows waxed when i was 11 or 12 (i think) my mum and auntie tried to freak me out saying that it really hurts and they strap you down to the bed. I didn't fall for it! Until i was 14 i would have my eyebrows waxed, then i found threading. It was my cousin who had hers done and got me on it (funnily enough she is the one that got me into my very dangerous make up obsession introducing me to the likes of Benefit and MAC). 
Waxed eyebrows (in case you didn't know I'm in the red on the right)

Threaded eyebrows (on the left this time + part of fringe in the way ugh)

              



 There is not a massive difference between the 2 visually apart from waxing leaves my eyebrows looking a little thicker than what threading gives me.
Now lets talk about the pain as we all know beauty is pain. Is it just me or does anyone else really enjoy the feeling of hot wax (just me?) and the actual process of waxing doesn't really hurt, i find it the less painful one of the 2. Threading is more on the painful side i mean its not oh my god I'm going to die pain its just a tad more painful and it always makes my ears pop for some strange reason. Threading can remove a whole row of hair at one time resulting in a straight line making it more painful. Threading removes the hair from the follicle where as waxing removes the hair from the root.
I always find that threading last longer than waxing. With threading i can go for a few weeks without having to pluck little strays or go back again but with waxing i usually notice regrowth quite quickly!
If you have it done often then both only take a few minutes.
For me i think threading wins i like the overall look better and it lasts longer!
Which one wins for you guys? Have you had both of them done before or just 1 let me know down below what you think.
Hope you guys have a great Christmas and Santa brings you what you want

This or That?


Coke or Pepsi? That's an easy one coke. Oh and i can tell the difference between the 2... there is so a difference isn't there?

Ice cream or Frozen yogurt? Ive never had frozen yogurt so will have to go with ice cream.

Clothes or Makeup? AGGH that's a tough one erm i think if i had really good eyebrows good skin and a tan i could maybe go without makeup but that's a maybe!

Hairspray or frizz lotion? Easy hairspray

TV or book? I love books but i love TV even more

Water or Soda? I'm much more of a water girl now

Pool or beach? Beach I'm always happy when I'm in a hot country and sitting on the beach

Purse or backpack? Purse

Harry Potter or Twilight? That's so easy Harry potter kicks twilight's ass and truth be told I'm not much of a twilight fan Ive only seen the first 2

Team Jacob or Team Edward? Hmmm i would have to go with Edward but Jacob is way fitter.

NOTD: Facets of Fuchsia

So I'm currently jamming to Coldplay Paradise, I'm not much of a Coldplay fan but i love that song!! I thought I'd show you guys my nails, i took a hiatus from painting them and just let them be natural but now I'm back in the mood. I'm currently wearing Facets of Fuchsia by Revlon I just love the look it gives. I tried to capture the best angle to really show them off but if you follow me on twitter you would know that i failed at doing that and as i sit here writing this it has just occurred to me to use my camera... Oh well. This is the kinda outcome you get when using your i phone to capture pics.....
Pretty bad i know but hopefully you will be able to tell what the polish looks like, its very much a deep purple with i don't want to say glitter but what looks like glitter (bet that was helpful)
You do have to apply 2 or more coats as when you you apply the first you will think what the funk this looks nothing like the bottle but once as you apply the 2nd coat you will be like oh yeah!
Hope you guys have a good day
XOXO

Hello

I'm back!! I hope!! The last time i posted was in November... eek how bad am i *slaps wrist* Ive been going through so things lately and just needed to take some time and try to work through things. The good news is that I'm now on Christmas break which will hopefully result in regular posts for you guys!
10 sleeps to go.. This year i am really excited about Christmas I really know when its christmas is when i see the coke christms advert this year it seemed like it was on super early.
Here are some of my family christmas traditions: When me and my brother were younger we would always say that we would never fight to get more presents. Another thing is that my mum always makes trifle and the last one is that whoever wakes up first me or my brother we would wake each other, one time my brother woke me up at 3 in the morning!
So tell me some of your family traditions that you do at this time of year?
What have you guys asked for this year?
Hope you have a good day
XOXO

Britney Spears Femme Fatale

I was doing so well i don't know what happened! Well actually I do I'm just lazy! 8 days ago i went watching Britney Spears in Manchester and OMG it was the best night of my life i don't even care if she was miming she puts on such a good show! There were only 2 problems: 1. My friend fainted half way through the show. 2. My camera stopped working during the show! Luckily we were standing at the front so she got help straight away and was fine afterwards (oh btw if you book standing tickets be prepared to stand fro a long time if u were heels and the only way to get the best view is to push your way to the front). If you have a Nikon camera (mines the coolplix s3100) you might understand my frustration when of all a sudden it popped up 'battery exhausted'. Now its not even turning on 8 days later. I did manage to get a few shots before it decided to go on a break. If you were lucky enough to go to the Manchester showing you also got to watch The Wanted which were also amazing. They sang i think 5 songs which were: All time low, heart vacancy, gold forever, lightning and glad you came! Words cant describe how good that night was so I'm going to leave you with a few pics of the night.
Hope you have a great week
XOXO

Goals are dreams with deadlines --Diana Scharf Hunt

Yesterday i tweeted about OPI's The muppet collection and today i got my hands on 4 of the polishes and some other things!





My current shampoo and conditioner is colour goddess, its suppose to prevent premature fading and i have to say it does do that. I got my colour done at the start of August and i have only just noticed that is needs doing again so i think in that department it does a good job. The shampoo is also sulfate free and also helps prevent against UV damage! With all bed head hair products they smell so good, which we all want our hair to smell good dont we?


More hair products... i think you can tell that my favourite hair brand is Tigi my newest additions are the catwalk collection which is inspired by fashion designed by hairdressers. I havent tried those 2 products before so if you want a review on them let me know. I got 2 for the price of 1 when i bought the box, i was originally going to get just the haute iron spray (the larger one of the 2) which is £9.95 then i spotted this and it came with the blow out balm also. Lets see if the blow out balm will give me the Kate Middleton lookNext is the big sexy hair spray in pink for Breast cancer awareness, if you get one of these visit www.sexyhair.com and enter the code on the bottom of the can on the philanthropy page and sexy hair will donate $1 for every code entered. All proceeds go to Look good..Feel Better (LGFB), this helps women cope with the appearence-related side effects of cancer treatments. Donations to this programme help fund 14,500 workshops in America that offer beauty techniques to help women look good, improve their self esteem, and manage their treatment and recovery with confidence. To date they have received $41,968.AMAZING! I am currently growing my layers out and i had very short choppy layers which at the moment is giving me some serious flatness so what better thing to get than big sexy hair!
Last but not least...
So these are my final products i got 4 from the muppets collection. On the left is Pepe's purple passion and Divine swine, on the right is Animal-istic and Gettin miss piggy with it. I am super excitied to try these out. Normally OPI nail polishes or nail lacquer are £10.50 each at Alan howards they are £4.75.... yes i typed that right. What a huge saving! For these 2 sets they were £9.15.. yes for 2 full size polishes and toe separators.
Hope you enjoyed my haul and i didnt bore you too long let me know if you want reviews on any of the products. Hope you all have a good day and night!
XOXO
