Hair Care!

Since I had my ombre done I have been more conscious of the products I use on it. I try to buy the shampoos/conditioners that are most suited to my hair type (fine) and will benefit the bleached sections most!

 These are the three products I most recently purchased and use most often. They were all from Bodycare and not too expensive. i really like Bodycare for this reason; I can go in there and always find a great deal! For example, the Tresemme Vitamin E Moisture Rich Shampoo (500ml) and the Tresemme Instant refresh Shampoo came together for only £2.99!!

Tresemme Vitamin E Moisture Rich Shampoo (500ml)  
This is a really nice product with a pearl like appearance. It smells really good and expensive. I wouldn't say the outcome is anything different to what I have found with any other shampoo, but nevertheless I still really like it and would buy it again. There is plenty in the bottle and it is lasting me a long time, and for less than £2.99 for that (AND MORE) I can't really complain.

 Tresemme Instant refresh Shampoo (200ml)
I cannot stress enough my dislike for this product! It just seems useless to me. I;'ve tried it a couple of times just to make sure, but my results were exactly the same. I applied this to dry/greasy hair and then hair dried. At first glance it seemed alright... but 10 minutes after and when I looked closer my hair looked even greasier! I am glad i didn't spend a fortune on this and I will not be buying it again! I'm sticking to Batiste Dry Shampoo :)

L'oreal Elvive Triple Resist Conditioner (400ml)
This was also fairly cheap at £.199 from Bodycare. I really enjoy using this as it smells lovely and leaves me with great results. I find that the conditioner leaves the blonde tips of my hair feeling really soft, but strong. It really worked well for me and i will be buying it again. Plus, I like the pretty pink on the bottle... CHIC!

Skin Care Reviews!

These are the 4 skincare products that I use on a daily basis! I usually can't be bothered to go through skin care routines, especially in the morning, but over the past few months I've made an effort to stick to my routine! Yay, I'm proud!

 This is the Visibly Clear Oil-free Facial Wash by Neutrogena. I really like this product as I think the colour is just so bright and feels so soft on my skin. I use this one in the morning as a refresher before applying my primer. However, even though I like the smell and appearance I'd say, as far as facial washes go, this is nothing special. It does the trick and does no harm. 

From Boots, 2 for £5 on Neutrogena products. 

 This is product no.2 from Boots; Visibly Clear Gentle Exfoliating Wash, again by Neutrogena. I really do love this one! I use it at night as it is an exfoliating wash so really helps to remove my make-up. It leaves my skin feeling soft and removes any dry bits. I'd definitely recommend! 

This is the Blackhead Clearing Cleanser by Clean & Clear. I can;t remember the exact price but I know it was quite cheap. (less than £5) This is GREAT for removing my make-up. I've not used it for long, but usually after using my face wash at night I'd just assume all of my make-up was off! BUT it isn't! After using this product at night I noticed all of the excess make-up it removed that I didn't even know was still on there! SO THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PRODUCT OF THE LOT!!

This is the Fix & Perfect Rimmel Primer, from Boots at £6.99. I wasn't happy with the cost, but wanted to try it out. It did set my skin nicely and soften it for make-up application... but didn't make much of a difference once I'd done my make-up... and I expected it to be different just because of the price. One tiny thing is that it helped to mattify my skin. But I wouldn't recommend it as i think it is overpriced and does't have much effect.

What's inside my make-up bag?

Firstly, my make-up bag was only £1 in Primark, so if you're looking for a cheap one then go there. It's also an easy wipe-clean material so perfect for holding your make-up.




This is my Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara... and I love it! I always buy Rimmel Mascaras as I think they are the best for giving volume and length compared to others I have tried such as, Elizabeth Arden, No.7 etc. Also, Rimmel's products are generally really reasonably priced too! 

This is my Silky Loose Face Powder also by Rimmel. It is a good touch-up for throughout the day to just blot your skins and keep your make-up in place. It is only around £7 and I got it as part of a 3 for 2 offer on at Superdrug which is still on now!  

I don't use this often as I don't think I suit eye-liner. However, when I do use this I think it is great! It lasts a really long time and is so hard wearing that I don't feel the need to touch it up through the day/night. It's pricey at £18 but is definitively worth it. 

This was £18 too and is by FAR my most favourite lipstick in the world! NO JOKE! It is so soft and such a nice "soft coral" colour and really warms up my fair skin tone. I would completely recommend!  

 My cover-up concealer stick by Collection 2000 is only £1.99! It works really well and is great value for money! it had such great coverage and doesn't break the bank. It's really compact too so will fit nicely in your handbag for touch ups. However, I never usually need to touch it up when I use the product. 

I only bought this Maybelline Stain Liquid foundation yesterday but so far, so good! I decided to buy a lightly darker shade than I usually choose in foundations and was worried it would make me look orange or leave me with foundation lines on my neck. As far as I can see it blends really well and I like it! It was only £8 too! Cheap as chipsssss...

'A' Topshop Sale!

Yesterday morning, to my delight, I stumbled upon the new Topshop mid-season sale! I raced in store and immediately scoured through the bargains! My friend came over to me with a jumper she thought I'd like... and she was correct! I looked at the price tag and this lovely pink knitted jumper was reduced to a mere £5! If the wasn't good enough, my student discount made it even cheaper!

So this is my lovely jumper! The material is so so soft and comfy and I really love it! The A in the is made of a furry felt kind of material! All-in-all I am really pleased! Having said that, I don't think this item is in stock anymore and to be honest I would be surprised if it was at that price. (Should have been £36, wowza.) The only negative is the letter on the front... would have been more ideal if it was a 'K'... but then again, beggars can't be choosers. At least it is pink!

I will definitely be paying several visits to Topshop throughout sale season and can't wait to dig out some more bargains. 

Don't miss out.

Ombre

I am very excited! I just had my hair done... and I had it done Ombre style! I'm still getting used to it and was very weary about trying it out. I am glad I had it done in the end though because after about 16 years of practically not dying my hair at all I was beginning to get a bit bored of it!

after

So now after jumping onto the Ombre bandwagon I can't wait to curl my hair, tie it up and just experiment with it. Apparently I can dip the ends in food dye to change it and it will wash straight out! Excited!

Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray

I only just bought this product but my first thought was how good it smells! I just want to eat it all up... but I don't that would taste nice and it probably isn't advised... Anyway I bought the smaller bottle for £2.17 from Boots to just give it a trial and I love it! I curl my hair quite a bit but sometimes I find it looks a bit too formal and tidy for day-to-day life. This spray gives more texture and roughens up curls to make them more relaxed and give an effortless look! I'll definitely be buying the larger bottle next time!
