Empties/Products I have used up #2

Saturday, August 25, 2012











Another empties post for you guys!

Clynol Shampoo - I got this in a Glossybox and really loved the shampoo. It's a shame it's only a sample size as it only lasted for two washes! The problem of having long hair! I might considering repurchasing but it is rather expensive for a shampoo!

Botanicals Rose and Camelia Skin Tonic - I was sent this from the lovely people at Botanicals and I fell in love with it. It was so good on my skin! It's such a shame it ran out. I do have this on my repurchase list! So roll on payday!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo - I got this on offer for a £1 in Asda and wanted to try it out. I really loved the shampoo and think its great on long hair. I probably will repurchase this again at some point!

Gliss Conditioner - I brought this from poundland and I was really impressed the conditioner is really rich and perfect for my dry ends. I need to pick up some more of this!

Noble Isle Shower Gel - I adore this shower gel! I got this sample in Glossybox and it's amazing. Sadly it costs £20 a bottle! So I won't be repurchasing this myself, however if someone wants to buy it for me! I'd be more than happy!!

Soft and Gentle Deodorant - I've had this kicking around for a while and mainly used when I stayed round mr swan's. I won't be repurchasing this one, not because I don't like it I just tend to settle for what's on offer at the time.

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation - I brought this after a few recommendations. And I did enjoy using it. However I found it to be a bit dewy for my oily/combo skin. So I didn't repurchase this. I brought one very similar but for oily skin. I'll be doing a full review on that soon!

Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skin Balancing lotion - Another sample in Glossybox! I did really enjoy this! I love Elizabeth Arden skincare I don't think you can beat it. I loved using this before I applied my foundation it worked in really well on my skin!

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - I got this in my L'Occitane goody bag and I love the scent. I really want the Eau De Parfum in it! I won't be repurchasing as I have so many shower gels at the minute I should use those ones up first!

Botanicals Clay Mask - The best face mask! It leaves my skin feeling plumped and hydrated! And perfect for my sometimes sensitive skin! I swear by this and this is also on my wishlist come payday!

Aussie Angels Haircare Post!

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

Now if you've been on my blog before you will know that I love my hair and taking care of it is one of the most important things to me. So I decided to share some hair care advice.

My hair has had highlights and kinda dip dye since September last year, and nothing prepared me for how dry the bleach would leave the ends of my hair. So it's vital that I condition my hair regularly.I use conditioner every time I wash my hair and try to use an intensive conditioner once a week to give it that extra nourishment. 

I also try not to use heat on my hair and when I do, I always without fail use heat protection spray. You really should use it, give your hair a  fighting chance.

I've come up with a five tips for good hair:

1. If you can bear it, finish your last wash of your hair with a blast of cold, it will add shine and make it nice and glossy.
2. When you comb your hair hold the root. Pulling the root can lead to damage and maybe even hair loss.
3. Keep your brushes and combs clean. Clean them once a week with shampoo.
 4. This little tip costs less than 10p!! - For a nice tousled texture, put some sea salt (2 tablespoons) into a spray bottle, top up with water and spray onto to hair, then dry (scrunching your hair while you dry it always helps too!). The sea salt sends your hair curly!
5. Treat your hair well, you wouldn't burn your skin with lots of heat!

I've created this post because I want to be an Aussie Angel. The chance to work with top haircare brand Aussie, would really be a dream come true for me. I love nothing more than haircare, trialing new products and giving my honest opinion. So Aussie, I've got my halo (plait) can I have my wings now please?
