Garnier Ultimate Blends Sleek Restorer shampoo and conditioner review

Last year I was looking for a new shampoo and conditioner, previously I was using Aussie but I fancied a change, I needed something that would get my back to being silky smooth and looking healthy.

What I use when I have my hair natural

If you know me you know you will know that 90% of the time my hair is straight. I mainly do this for ease, literally wake up and go, it's quite easy to maintain. Previously if I was to have my hair natural it would go frizzy and to me it would not look that nice like there would be some straightish bits to me it just looked a mess (or I would say a birds nest lol). 

I made a decision to lay off using heat products so much as I know with the consistent heat the damage it will do over time will not be good.

After different serums, curling creams, curling activators I think I have found my perfect combination of products and my hair feels great and the curls are soooo much better than they used to be.

Empties of 2019 part 6

Here is another one of the empties posts, as you may already know these are products I've recently finished and here are my thoughts....

Naobay Protective hair mask volume and conditioner
I received this in a GlossyBox and as it says it's a volume hair mask and conditioner. I had quite a few uses out of it and my hair did feel lovely after using it.

Would I buy again?
No and mainly because I have no idea where to purchase it and I feel there is other volume conditioning masks you can get more locally.

Colgate max white toothpaste
Recently I've been getting into the whole charcoal/whitening toothpastes and I feel this is definitely a good like budget one. It doesn't have a funny taste as I have noticed some charcoal ones have and I did notice my teeth looked a bit more white.

Would I buy again?
Yes, a lot of places have this for £4 but have a look around you can pick it up cheaper.

Empties part 3

Another empties post ! Very slowly I am getting through the stash of beauty products I have and I am making sure that I finish them unless I didn't like or get on with them. So here is March's empty products.

Rodial dragon blood eye mask
The name of this had me curious like dragons blood hmm? I've never tried a eye mask before and this hydrates, tones and reduces puffiness. The application was very fiddly to be honest and I nearly gave up the actual bit you put under your eyes has a protective layer each side, I don't know why tho? Once applied it was fine and I left it on for about 30 minutes and just massaged the left over serum under my eyes. After my eyes actually felt refreshed and a little brighter.


Would I buy again?
Yes, we all need a little brighten and refresh now and again.


PS Beauty Pollution protect wipes
OMG these wipes are just like the best, I recently reviewed them (click here to read) so I won't go into too much detail about them but for a wipe they really did remove all my make up and make my skin feel clean. I cannot get over that they are from Primark too!


Would I buy again?
Yes over and over and over again!

Empties of 2018 Part 6

It feels like I haven't done one of these for a little while but it was only last month maybe earlier in the month? Anyway here is some of the products I've finished lately, I am excited to do my next one as there is some products I just love that are included.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Berry lipgloss

This has summer written all over it, it's so amazing and smells lovely. It is very moisturising as I find I use this more in the summer as it's got a little gloss and keeps my lips soft. Sometimes I even apply a little of it over a lipstick just for a bit of shine to it.


Would I buy again?

Yes, I bought a two pack from Amazon!

Autumn 2018 purchases

6 things I'm currently loving

I thought in this post I would share with you all a few things I'm just obsessing with at the moment whether it's food or beauty related. This list is completely random and I haven't done anything like this before but I thought I would share a little about me.

Pasta with green pesto, feta and spinach

Recently I've tried something new for lunches at work it's so simple and yet so yummy. I literally cook pasta add green pesto, spinach and feta. I'm trying to do some more recipes of what foods I'm currently eating so keep an eye out.

La Reina Del Sur (TV)

This is based on the book by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, there is already a series based on the book which is also called Queen of the South and is on Netflix. It's basically about this young female who falls in love and due to their line of work they die and she is on the run and makes a life for herself. Both series are kind of similar and I can't stop watching it. I will advise La Reina Del Sur is in subtitles so just be prepared.

Twinnings cold infusion tea in passion fruit, mango and blood orange
With the weather so hot lately putting one of these into cold water has been so refreshing it has a subtle hint of flavour and is not too over powering. There is other flavours and I've tried the watermelon and mint one but I was not overly keen on it.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Shampoo and Conditioner review

It's been a little while since I've found a shampoo and conditioner I can actually say I love! Usually I'll stick to the Aussie ones but since using Palmers Cocoa Butter shampoo and conditioner, I honestly prefer it so much more. My hair is very long and is naturally wavy with slight curls in places, I often blow dry and straighten it like once a week so I need something that is going to help protect it against the heat without it being weighed down.

Palmers have a whole range of hair products in different formulas ie, coconut oil, cocoa butter and manuka honey and more all of which have so many products within each of them. There will be something for everyone whether you looking for a leave in conditioner, edge control, root spray or curl pudding there is something for all.

This particular formula, cocoa butter, boasts of three main ingredients:

Vitamin E - to help the natural repair to damaged hair and strengthen the hair to promote healthy growth.

Peppermint oil - to balance the PH levels and stimulate the scalp.
Cocoa butter - conditions the hair without weighing it down
Also it's Sulphate and Paraben free!

Empties of 2018 part 3

I think it's time for a little empties post as it's been a few months since my last one. I put all finished products unless they are repeat staple purchases in a bag and it wasn't until I looked the other day and realised it is building up so I picked some at random but I do try to get a mixture of things.

See what my thoughts were on these products

How I get soft waves

A few people at work have asked how I get this soft natural wave hair style I often do and it was hinted slightly (Nikki, lol) to write a post on it. This is my I don't have the energy to do my hair and I want my bed look. It's so easy and does not really require any long winded process or loads of products.

 

I'll go through step by step what I do to achieve this simple look.

April's Love Me Beauty

I've been subscribed to Love Me Beauty for a few months now and I must say for a beauty subscription box/bag I really quite like it. You pay Around £13 including postage per month and you get 60 credits to use in their store, everything is of different value, the products are not always full size they are more like deluxe samples but they are so ideal and perfect for on the go and your trying the product before you buy it full size. They often have a feature brand each month within their edit which has a selection of products from that particular brand, for example they've had: Make Up Forever, Kat Von D and Charlotte Tilbury, it feels like a treat to try these brands as some of them can be pricey.

Each month you will receive an email to let you know once you're credits have been renewed and a link to shop the edit. You have to use a minimum of 60 credits per order but you can buy additional credits if you want if there is something else that. Some months there will be products from previous edits but sometimes these are handy as they are mainly of smaller value and can bulk up your order. I do look forward to receiving my order as I find the products in the edits are really good quality, also they come in a little zip up pouch with different patterns/colours each month.

This month I had a look through and I decided to pick the following:

Eco Tools Full Powder and Precision Blush, Dr Bragi Sheet Intensive Treatment and Popband hair band.

Beauty favourites of 2016

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a lovely time. I haven't made any new yeas resolutions but 2017 will be a year I want to be happy and I wish for all my friends and family the same.

On the last day of 2016 I posted a video to my YouTube channel. It took a lot of courage to take the video and post it as I am very shy and I hate hearing the sound of my own voice (when editing). I hope in the future I will make more of these, make sure you check it out and give it a thumbs up and also subscribe.
