Hair bargain of the year: Philip Kingsley Elasticizer!

I recently bleached my dark, dyed hair to a dark blonde colour. After 4 lots of bleaching within a week, my hair was left rather frazzled and broken. I scoured the internet for a long term fix as I really don't want to cut my hair and time and time again I saw people mentioning the infamous Philip Kingsley Elasticizer.

My fave peanutty snack...

I always make the mistake of forgetting to eat breakfast and then wonder why I'm so hungry throughout the day. If I'm in a hurry or just feeling plain lazy, I end up with some generic chocolate coated biscuit or something equally as unhealthy, but I've found my perfect health-conscious snack...!

Quick savings! Origins Mask Marvels Christmas Gift Set!

It's a well known fact that Boots has some of the best Christmas gift sets, both for value and choice. Whilst paying a visit to my local store, I stumbled across this amazing valued gift set that I just had to spread the word about!

Review: Revlon Photoready Primer!

I've just finished using the Revon Photoready Primer, and thought I'd just give you a quick review of it, and why I wouldn't repurchase this product.

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago in the hope I'd suddenly fall in love with it, but no luck unfortunately. 

Review: Blush By 3 by Sleek

Throughout the seasons, my make-up tends to change around quite a bit. During the summer months, I still like to wear foundation (It's a must, I just like that coverage unless I'm REALLY tanned) but I tend to stick to just a bit of eye liner and mascara, with either a bold lip or bright cheeks.

As it's been roasting hot in the UK for the past couple of weeks, almost beating the summer of '76 (apparently! Bit before my time), I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite blushers, coincidentally all from sleep

Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat!

La Roche-Posay  are a French skincare brand that is readily available in most Boots stores, and are reasonably priced. Their Effaclar Duo seems to have become a bit of a cult product for many, so with oilier skin I decided to give the matt version a whirl.

Review: L'Oreal Skin Perfection 15 Second Miracle Cleansing Oil!

Cleansing oils have been around for a long time, however up until recently they were only made by more higher-end and less accessible brands, such as MAC. L'Oreal has just released their version; Skin Perfection 15 Second Miracle Cleansing Oil.

Review: Carmex Moisture Plus Tinted Lip Balms!

It seems like the whole of the beauty world is moisturising lip product crazy at the moment, and this product is one of my everyday favourites.

Review: L'oreal Touche Magique Concealer!

Not getting enough sleep at night is definitely my biggest downfall in terms of taking care of myself. It's so important but yet I still stay up late, which has taken it's toll on my dark under eye circles. In order to cover them up, I've been testing this concealer that claims to be "anti-fatigue, illuminating and a true match". 

The L'oreal Touche Magique concealer is very YSL Touche Eclat-esque, however a fraction of the price!

Review: L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation!

Recently I've lifted myself off a 'no more foundation buying' ban. I had so many at one point that it got to a ridiculous level, however as I've only got a few bottles at the moment and Boots was on 3 for 2, I thought it would be rude not to take advantage of this!

The new L'oreal Lumi Magique claims to be 'light infusing' and give 'flawless skin as if lit-from-within' so I thought it would be a nice change to the matt foundations I've been wearing recently.

Lip Love: Sheerly Vampy!

I am in move with moisturising lip products at the moment however I don't actually own an awful lot, meaning I've been sheering out some of my lipsticks into more of a lip tint. I stumbled across this combo and fell in love with it! It was so difficult to photograph it with any kind of likeness to what it actually looks like so I had to edit the photo a little to make it more close to life.

Review: L'oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick!

Just before the Revlon Lip Butters were due to be released in the UK, I spotted the L'oreal Rouge Caresse that appeared to be quite a similar concept; a lipstick that's a little sheerer and balmy-er. Being the impatient person I am, I quickly snapped up shade 401 Rebel Red.

Review: No7 Quick Cover Concealer!

I think I've found my HG Blemish hiding concealer!

Beauty Find: Aloe Vera Gel!

Recently my skin has been messing about A LOT. Dry one day, oily the next, clear one day, breakout city the next. Fed up of this, I ventured into Holland and Barrett and purchased their own brand Aloe Vera Gel.

Nail of the Day: Deep Dark Forest!

Deep Dark Forest nails! (Yes, that is a tattoo!)

My first Nail of the Day post! I've deliberately never done one of these because I have horribly dry and nasty cuticles, and my nails are so short due to them being really bendy. Yesterday I painted my nails like this on both hands though, and I reaaaaaalllyyyyy like it!

One Week's Impressions: Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue Hair Oil

There's a lot of hype around hair oils at the moment, and having dry and damaged, coloured and bleached hair, I thought I'd jump on the wagon for this one. I found the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue Hair Oil which has RRP of £40 on a deal for £28, so I snapped it up straight away.

Review: Mac Beauty Powder in Play It Proper - Chen Man Collection!

Recently I visited Mac, which is a rarity for me as I tend to find I don't like buying their single eye shadows or blushes as I find them bulky, and I don't want a palette, which leaves only powder or foundations for me to buy there. Or lipsticks but I definitely have far too many of....

Back to the point, my Mac store had the Chen Man collection and there was only one product that jumped out to me, and I bought it - Mac Beauty Powder in Play It Proper.

Review: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalising Gel Body Oil

Todays review is on the Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalising Gel Body Oil which I purchased after I purchased the Aloe Vera version of this (review coming up) thinking it would be a more moisturising version of the other body gel, however I wouldn't really compare the two at all.

Review: Good Things Dream Cream Night Cream!

Just a quick review today on a product I've just finished up today; Good Things Dream Cream. This is a night cream with 'superfruit extracts, fig and avocado'. Good Things is a brand that is known for being one of the less chemical brands, so this cream doesn't contain parabens, mineral oil or sodium laureth sulphate and is animal friendly.

Review: Clean & Clear Morning Energy Skin Brightening Facial Scrub!

As I'm almost finished using this facial scrub, I thought I'd just do a little review of it before I throw it out.
