Current Hair Care Edit

Hey my little lovelies!! I wanted to give you a quick insight into my current hair care 'system' so to speak! And at the moment i believe it works perfectly with my hair type!!

TRESemme Thermal Recovery, Nourish & Renew Shampoo:- This is shampoo for dry hair heat damaged hair. I tend to use this once a week, as if i use it more often it can cause oil build up in my hair, as it's naturally oily. Available HERE

Babyliss Curl Secret C1000E :- This is seriously revolutionary... It zaps up your hair does 8, 10 or 12 seconds, and then out comes a perfect curl, Its surprisingly easy to use too!! Its not on the cheap side, and i was lucky enough to receive this for Christmas! Available HERE

Alberto Balsalm Green Apple Shampoo & Conditioner:- I LOVE Alberto Balsalm! For one, they all smell very nice, the green apple one is marketed towards my hair type so i though it was best  used this one, but i really like the scent well. Does everything a shampoo should! Available HERE

Enrapture Totem Curler:- The barrel part of this curler is split into three sections, each of which can be changed to different heat settings, which makes it really easy to change up your style regularly. I really like the fact that one heat styler can make so many different hairstyles. Available HERE

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Oil Treatment:- I was lucky enough to receive this one for Christmas, and have tried it out around three times, and so far i'm loving it! It stops frizzies, helps split ends and makes hair silky soft. I don't use a hair mask every time i wash my hair, as i have naturally oily hair... once a week is enough for me! Available HERE

And finally we come to straighteners are straighteners, and these Toni & guy ones certainly get the job done! There quite good, and don't leave your hair damaged when used at the right heat.... Available HERE

Hoped you enjoyed today's post guys!!!

Simple Light Moisturizer Review

Hello My Little Beauties!! Okay, so as you all know I've been raving about this product for months, my obsession goes back years infact! And guess what? I thought it was time i wrote a review finally!!!

Firstly i want to talk about the consistency of this product, its light, but not creamy... its definitely more textured, but i can't quite put it into words. When first applied to the skin as part of my morning routine, it makes my face rather shiny. But after 10 or so minutes it soaks in well and leaves my face looking much more refreshed! I have combination to oily skin, more oily than combination, and i find this can be very hard to cater for when looking for a good light moisturizer. This one though works well for me!! 

There isn't any scent to this moisturizer, which i prefer, as i really don't like putting scented things on my face (apart from the odd lip balm...i can't resist a good lip balm!) as i think of it as rubbing food on my face (yes, weird, i know!) So in conclusion i prefer this as its unscented! 

Another great point about this 'wonderproduct' so to speak is the price. No matter how much i try to put it out of my mind, price always helps me decide whether or not to try a product. And obviously at £3.99 i though this one was worth a go! Let's just say, i was impressed!!! 

In conclusion i do think that this is a great product overall. Price, Product and Packaging are all fantastic! So if you have oily to combination skin then i'd definitely try this one out, as in my opinion its well worth a go!

Hoped you enjoyed today's post guys!

Bath time Beauties...

I don't tend to be much of a bath kinda gal in summer i tend to go for showers, but in winter, i can't get enough baths... When i have a shower, i don't feel as pamper somehow, and i have no clue why, i also tend to use more 'luxurious' products too. And i thought i'd give you a quick insight into what i use in a 'pamper' bath

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil:-  I don't always use this specific one, but i always use a hair mask. I was lucky enough to receive this one for Christmas, and have tried it out around three times, and so far i'm loving it, i'm thinking about doing a review soon so look out for that! But in general, using a hair mask, stops frizzies, helps split ends and makes hair silky soft. I don't use a hair mask every time i wash my hair, as i have naturally oily hair... once a week is enough for me! 

Soap & Glory Smoothie star Breakfast Scrub:- I LOVE this stuff! It smells like fudge / maple syrup! Yum... Its really good for exfoliating elbows and knees, and is also good for before shaving your legs and fake tanning! Its a very thick consistency,   and a rather harsh scrub, probably not very good for sensitive/ irritable skin (Scrub Of Your Life from soap and glory is a much gentler scrub) It gets rid of dry skin like a dream! I will definitely be repurchasing this, even though its rather pricey for a body scrub. 

Soap & Glory Clean On Me: - This body wash is in soap and glory's signature scent (like hand food and the righteous butter) Its a perfect body wash, and ensures a nice smelling bath time. I saw on one of MissBudgetBeautys videos, that this wash was really good to use when shaving legs, so i thought i'd give it a try, a by-gum its a winner. It leaves my legs feeling silky smooth! Its very creamy and moisturizing perfect for those winter blues!

Space Girl Bath Bomb: If you saw my post on what Abbie got me for Christmas you would have seen that this is my favorite bath bomb from lush. It smells like sweets and whizzes around your bath tub, what more you want? I'm not going to go into too much detail, as i practically did a full review on that post so check it out. But if your not a big fan of lush, you can just replace it with your personal preference.

Finally we come to Soap & Glory's Righteous Butter: - As i said above, its Soap & Glory's signature scent, thick and creamy. I tend to avoid moisturizing my legs (don't tell the beauty bloggers) as i find it such a chore. But since i tried this i can't get enough, i moisturize after every bath/ shower, and i can definitely tell a difference. My skins looking (and feeling) softer and much more moisturized! And the best of it all? It doesn't feel like a chore anymore, i actually enjoy moisturizing!!! 

Hope you enjoyed today's post my little lovilies!!!

What did Abbie get me for Christmas?

Okay, so i know its been a while since i last posted, but hey ho its been Christmas, and my schedule has been jam packed! To get back into the swing of things i thought i'd show you the beauty bits Abbie bought me, and let's just say i was well chuffed!

Okay, so the first thing i opened was this little beauty! The soap and glory breakfast scrub! And my-oh-my it smells good! To me it smells just like fudgey-maple syrup flavor! M-mm. It's very thick, and GREAT for exfoliating all over, although i think it would be rather harsh to tr and exfoliate your face with, so bear that in mind! :) Soap & Glory range available HERE

As you can see from the above photo, Abbie bought me some good old lush. And im a HUGE lushie!!! I'm a big fan of the Christmas range at lush, even the wrapping, is extra cute this year!  

A gift from the angels? haha see what i did there? This soaps sadly only available around the Christmas period, but well worth the year round wait! I'm rubbish at describing scents so i'm gonna use the lush booklet to help me. This is a 'super fruity' scent, which is also rather sweet and delightful! Yum! Sadly, this soaps no longer available, but hopefully it will be back next year! 

Abbie obviously knows me VERY well, as space girl, is one of my fav lush bath products, from the normal range, and thankfully its available all year round. Its fabulous for fizzing and whizzing around your tub, and even contains some popping candy for good measure! This to me just smells like sweets! yay, i'm a big fan of sweets so thats' a winner! And for the price of £2.25, its one of lush's cheapest product, perfect for chillaxing! Available HERE

Finally, i got this little wonder, and i'm sorry i know the photo is rather crappy and doesn't really do the product justice! Again, this is from the Christmas collection, so its no longer available sorry. However its the cutest most glittery thing i have ever seen... And it smells really refreshing and citrus-y! Star Light Star Bright is a perfect post Christmas pick me up, so if its  in again next year be sure to check it out!!!

I also received, lots more smellies of friends and family, including a HUGE soap and glory set, and a Lush Christmas Bathtime favorites box set!!!

1. The Real Techniques core collection brush set.

2. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag

Before anyone starts, I know 'tag' videos are usually only done on YouTube... But I thought i'd bend the rules! Let's go!!!! :)

1. What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand?


I really like Rimmel and  Maybelline, I can't really choose between! I have a variety of both brands and there's hardly any I dislike! I also really like MUA and Sleek!

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?


    I like the MUA cream blushers, natural collection pressed powder and the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation.  I LOVE the Kate Moss lipsticks from Rimmel and the collection lipsticks.

3. Least favourite product?


    Personally, I don't like the MUA pressed powder, I have really oily skin so the product isn't for my skin type. That's not to say, I won't work for you, everybody's skin types are different!!

4. What is the best makeup bargain?


    I think that the MUA pro palette's are amazingly pigmented for the price (£4). The Sleek palettes are really good too!

    

5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)


    I don't really know if it counts as an 'underdog' product. But the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I think it gets overlooked as in most drugstores, it stands next to the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (the infamous foundation, that EVERY 'beauty guru' On YouTube raves about).

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

    Definitely Mascara... Its extortionate!  L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara is £10.99, going on for high end prices!  

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)

    I haven't personally got my very own 'drugstore dupe' that I've found myself, I do know of one. The MUA Undress me and Undress Me Too palettes are supposedly really good dupes for the Naked 1 & 2 palette!     

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

    The Nivea lip butters. They taste nice and there not dreadful. They just don't work for me. I think this product would be much more effective for people with dryer lips than mine! :)

£1 Bargain Beauty... Worth it? #1

Hola my little beauties! I'm gonna be starting a little mini series of '£1 beauty bargain buys!' where i will be reviewing a whole host of beauty bipits and bopits! And to kick it all off, i'm gonna be posting this about this OZ Botanics Major Moisture shampoo! 

This Shampoo is aimed at all hair types, so ideally it should suit any one! However, my hair is reasonably oily, so this added excess oils into my hair that weren't really necessary. But this isn't to say that it won't work for you, in fact i think that this will probably do the job for most people! The smell of most beauty items is definitely a big factor, and can't decide if i love or hate the smell of this product! At the first sniff it smelt like bubblegum, or at least i thought it did, and it continued to smell like this for the next couple of washes, which is a plus in my opinion! However after around three washes it started to smell  much different but not bad at all! So if you like that sort of smell (bubblegum) this is almost matched to you! :) 

Personally, i will not be repurchasing this as it doesn't really suit my hair type, and leaves it looking rather greasy, although it does make it very light and soft! I think that this product should be aimed towards people with slightly dryer hair than my own, but hey ho, you win some you loose some!

All in all, if you have dryer hair, this is probably the product for you! I bought mine from home bargains for a £1 (Obviously!) Haha

Ps: i hope you like my slightly (well very) christmassy background, i rather like it myself!

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Hey everyone! This product i'm about to rave about is by far my favourite foundation that i am using at the moment! It is....the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. 

First of all, in my opinion, the main crucial points you need to consider before purchasing a foundation are shade and skin type. For me i am quite pale and i have oily/combination skin. I find these very hard to cater for. However, the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation seems to do the job! Although, it is not perfect as it appears quite dewy on my skin, it does give a natural look perfect for everyday or school (especially if you're not allowed to wear makeup!) I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain, which i believe is the lightest shade in the collection.

One benefit of this product is that you are almost guaranteed to find a shade to match your skin tone, hence the name! It is actually a perfect match for my skin. This could be down to the "advanced Smart-Tone technology" which makes your skin look flawless under any light, as it says on the bottle. I can't disagree with this statement, i think it works a treat! And after you have applied it to your face, your skin still looks like skin (which is always a bonus) without it looking cakey. Another great thing about this foundation is that it has SPF 18, which is ideal so no damage is done to the skin throughout the day. It keeps your skin nice and healthy! I also like the bottle as it feels and looks quite expensive, with it being made out of glass. And even though it looks expensive, it is at a fair price of £6.99 RRP. You can buy this from HERE

As i have said before, a negative to this product is that it can appear shiny and dewy on the skin, which is not ideal for you out there with oily skin (like me). And that is why i used a long lasting matte powder over the top, to keep it from looking oily. 

Thank you if you're a trooper and you read all of this post! And be sure to leave us a comment or two telling us how you find this product, or even if you have any questions at all! We're always happy to help!

Heavy Duty Moisturizer Perfect For Winter?!?!

Yes, i know were almost into the thick of the winter months! But that doesn't make it too late to try and recover our dry, itchy skin. We shouldn't have to put up with it! A simple is making it easier than ever.

This little number is perfect for the cold harsh conditions, and practically all year round! It's unscented which will appeal to most, and best of all it works... I think this is aimed at people with dry to combination skin, as it definitely adds plenty of moisture. Its light and works a treat! This is by far my favorite moisture booster that iv'e tried, and i'm not going to be changing up my routine anytime soon! This little beauty retails around £3 and you can find out more here, and buy it here. This is the perfect moisturizer for the bargain finder! I know its only a short review, but honestly i don't have a bad word to say about this product!
