Lee Stafford: Matt Fat powder
I am always on the look out for hair products that I haven't tried before. When I saw Hele produce a little pink pot from her handbag recently I was intrigued and it turned out it was this! Lee Stafford's Matt Fat powder.
It was £8.99 which seems quite a lot for this tiny little pot but I really wanted to try it. I must also point out that when I got home I realised it was only half full, so I went back to Boots to swap it but it turns out the other 10 on the shelf were all the same! It is meant to be half full! Quite disappointing.
It is a powder designed to give more volume to the root and can also absorb excess oil too. All you have to do is shake a little bit of powder into your roots, salt shaker style, and use your fingers to create the desired effect.The first time I used this, I used a lot. And when I touched my roots I nearly died. It felt reeeeally dry! When I tried to achieve some volume I ended up with a birds nest at the top and sleek hair the rest of the way. I don't think that look is going to catch on :)
Since then I have got used to how much I need and how to get the desired effect. This product is great for giving me a little bit of lift at the root, as I don't like to have too much volume.
I have yet to find a dry shampoo that I like so this product will also be good for when my roots feel a tad greasy.
Have you tried this or anything similar?

This was me before work this morning. I tied my hair up and twisted a section down the front to keep my fringe out of my eyes. I like having my hair tied up and out of my face but sometimes it can feel a bit boring. I would love to do a french plait down the front but unfortunately I am not so skilled in the french plait department!
I went for simple makeup: Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, a tiny bit of Maybelline Pure Cover mineral concealer under my eyes, a little bit of Benefit Thrrrob, and a coat of Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara. Simples! I usually don't wear a lot of makeup for work, mainly due to lack of time in the morning!I picked up a couple of nail polishes in Asda last night as I was doing the weekly shop. At £1.50 I thought I would give them a try plus they had a great range of shades! Today I wore number 36 which is 'Smog'.
I have wanted a colour like this for ages and it is perfect! Cheap price, great consistency, it glides on a treat, and even without a base coat or a top coat today (lazy nail painter) it didn't chip or peel away.The other colour I got was a lilac colour which I will show you soon. Have you ever popped a couple of these in your trolley?

Share the Love!
Lipstick and Lollipops is definitely one of the prettiest blogs that I follow. It is jam packed full of girlie stuff and product reviews. It is clear and easy to read which I think is very important.
Cheryl is gorgeous and her photos/swatches are really good!
A really girly blog with a mix of posts. Also, how cute is the blog header! :)
Hayley is stunning and I love her blog. She only has 15 followers which is an outrage so go check it out!
Ella's blog is lovely. There is a mix of shopping trips, FOTDs and reviews. Plus she is gorgeous too!
Lovely, girly blog with detailed posts, and she has the cutest dog!
Before I discovered the world of beauty blogs I regularly read a couple of fashion blogs and they deserve a mention. You may already follow them but if you don't, go subscribe!
Audrey's outfits inspire me a hell of a lot, although I could never look as stylish as she does! She has a gorgeous figure, looks amazing in everything and manages to find so many charity shop bargains. She is the sort of girl I would like to go shopping with!
Frances is a very funny girl. She manages to make a jumpsuit look stylish as opposed to me who looks like a bag of spuds in one! Great outfits and again, she finds a lot of vintage bargains!
Thanks for reading.

During my stay in Gibraltar I had to use my sisters toiletries as we only took hand luggage so we couldn't carry big liquids. I must say it was great not waiting by the carousel wondering whether my suitcase had made it too!
I used 3 products which I loved and wanted to share with you.
First up is Loreal De-maq expert- Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover. Wow, that is a mouthful! This stuff is FANTASTIC for removing makeup, even my Double Wear foundation which is usually a pain to shift. It can be used on the eyes and lips too so it is really good for removing mascara and lipstick.
The next thing I used was a Molton Brown bodywash - re-charge black pepper. This stuff smells divine and is for men and women which is pretty cool. It is a tad pricey at £16.00 but I might just have to treat myself to some. I love Molton Brown products!
When styling my hair I would use a generous dollop of Tigi Catwalk - Fashionista which I distributed evenly through my wet hair. This stuff was great at giving me smooth and sleek hair and made blow drying really easy.
Do you use any of these products?
