Herbal Essences Bee Strong shampoo & conditioner

Hello everyone!

About a month ago I was searching the shops for a shampoo and conditioner for my hair that would make it feel smooth, silky and help repair the ends of my hair that I had been using straighteners on quite often.  I also think sometimes combing my hair when it is wet has caused some of the damage too.  

I have always loved the Herbal Essences Hair care range and because recently I have been using a different brand I thought it would be a nice to change it up a bit.  The first thing I noticed when I got to the Herbal Essences section when I went shopping about a month ago was the vast amount of shampoo's for different types of hair they had created since I last looked.  They honestly had one shampoo for each hair need.

But because I was looking for a shampoo that could solve my damaged hair I was drawn to the Herbal Essences Bee Strong shampoo and conditioner.  Before I buy anything like shampoo, conditioner, face wash... (and the list goes on)  I always have to make sure it smells good.  Well I can confidently assure you that this shampoo and conditioner smells absolutely AMAZING.  It says on the bottle that both have apricot and honey extracts.  Personally all I can smell is the apricot.  But honestly you will not be disappointed by the smell at all.    

The shampoo states that it helps to strengthen hair by protecting the outer layer of each strand to leave it strong against specifically combing damage.  The conditioner states that it is a serum-infused formula for moisturised softness. 

 In my own opinion, after using this hair product my hair definitely feels a lot more softer and lighter.  Also the ends of my hair feel a lot less brittle than they did before.  So overall I think this product was a great buy and I can see myself indulging in some of the other Herbal Essences hair products in the near future. 

I hope you enjoyed this review!

Benefit - Big Beutiful Eyes contour kit

 

Hello everyone!
 
Today I thought I would do a little post about one of my favourite benefit products that I own.
 
So here we go...

To start of with one of my favourite things about the benefit range is the interesting and creative packaging.  It Is definitely the brand that stands out as soon as I walk into a boots store!  However the only down side is that the brand is quite expensive.

To sum up this product I would say that it is a simple, easy to use eye shadow kit which comes with a handy concealer (boi-ing 02 medium) for under the eyes to cover up any dark circles, 3 shades of eye shadow (alabaster pink shade eye shadow, coco shimmer contour shadow and rich chocolate brown liner shadow) a miniature concealer, contour and liner brush and a little leaflet of instructions.

 

I absolutely love the eye shadow shades in this kit. The fact that the finished look is neutral means I could wear it every day.  And also the shimmer in the two eye shadows in the centre of the kit create a really pretty look.:)

Please do let me know if you enjoyed this post in the comment section below and also let me know if you would like me to do another Benefit review in the future . I have also linked the benefit website to the bottom of this post. <3 

Have you purchased any Benefit products recently that are so amazing?

Thank you for reading! xxx

6. I love little cute things like inspirational quotes on a postcard and stuff like that.

7. I love love love shopping!

8. I have always hated sports day ever since pre-school.  I once was about to start a race (probably a bean bag race or something) against a long line of my school friends, and when the whistle went off I just stood there and cried because the pressure was just too much. I know, I know, life was hard back then.  Actually, just thinking about it that must have been so embarrassing and awkward for my Mum and Dad.:/

11. I love all my pets so much and when ever I go away on holiday I miss them like craaazy!

12. My favourite place to stay in the UK is Cornwall because I live in the country side my self so when we go to Cornwall it doesn't feel too different.  And its also the only holiday where we take Hector, our family dog.:)

13. I really enjoyed primary school years however I found secondary school so scary and it took me a long time to settle in completely.

15. My favourite beauty/fashion/make-up magazine to read at the moment is probably LOOK magazine.

16. I love learning tips from other beauty bloggers.

17. I used to really badly bite my nails ever since I was about 4 years old, however last August after continuously telling my self to stop this habit I decided that I would really try to stop altogether.  And it worked! I now have nice, non-bitten nails, yippee!

18. This will probably sound really lazy but my favourite days are when I have absolutely nothing important to do and can just relax for the whole day! 

19. I have just finished my GCSE's and now am awaiting those scary results, eek:/

20. I have absolutely no idea what I would like to do when I'm older.

I hoped you enjoyed this post! I have seen loads of other bloggers doing this too and thought I would give it ago. :)

Rimmel London Salon Pro nail polish

Recently I have been loving the BarryM Hi-Shine Nail Paint however a few weeks ago in Superdrug I came across the Rimmel London Salon Pro nail polish and thought I would give it a go and see what's different about the two!

I didn't think at the moment there were many shades of this nail polish but just researching, I have now found out that they now have 32 shades altogether.  I own 3 shades-701 Jazz Funk (what I would call hot pink), 317 Hip Hop (a sort of bright red with a hint of pink) and 237 Soul Session (a Classic nude colour).

Now, I'm not the most patient person in the world. I can never sit there for half an hour waiting and waiting for my nails to dry.  I'm sure you'll know what I mean when I say that some nail varnishes trick you.  They convince you that your nails are dry, so you get up and do some sort of productive task and find out that they are really not dry at all  and you have to take it all off and start again, am I right? Well this varnish is one of them.

I have to say though, I absolutely love the shades I bought from this range, they are so pretty!  Also when they are fully dry they do last a while however, although its says on the bottle that the polish should last up to 10 days, I can never keep a nail varnish on for that long without wanting to change the colour so I wouldn't know, ahaa! :)

So now onto the BarryM Gelly nail paint.  I really love this nail polish mostly because of the wonderful array of colours there are.   I Have recently bought the colour 313 Lychee which I love!   I would definitely say that they probably dry much faster than the Rimmel London Salon Pro nail polish but do not last as long.  They are also super shiny which is great!

I hope you have enjoyed this post, if you have any suggestions that you would like me to review in my next post please do let me know. I would be so grateful!

Bye, bye!x   
 

Sanctuary Spa Body Lotion Review

First Review!

I have been looking for a body butter for ages.  I am aware that to be really pleased with your body butter you have to be prepared to pay a high price for it.  But whilst in boots the other day I came across the Sanctuary Spa section and noticed they had their own body butter which cost around £10-£12.  Although this is probably quite a reasonable price for a Spa body butter, having not used any of these products before I didn't really want to take the risk just in case it didn't like it.

However, as I looked further through all the products of this brand I noticed they were selling a body lotion for almost half the price (£5.50).  I have never actually used a body lotion before so I thought I would give it a try.

From the packaging personally I thought that it had a professional appearance. As said on the front of the bottle it is believed to give you 24 hour moisture which easily absorbs and hydrates your skin.  It also says that it contains ginger to stimulate you circulation and jojoba which gives your skin moisture.

The first thing I noticed when I used the lotion was the consistency-Its much thinner and lighter than a body butter.  In my own opinion after using this product I think that it makes your skin incredibly soft and also giving your skin the appearance that its well looked after.  I also think that applying this lotion just once a day is enough to give your skin 24 hour moisture!  It also has a beautiful summer fragrance which made me like it even more.  Overall I think this body lotion was a good buy and was just what my skin needed as I have quite dry skin.

I hope you enjoyed reading my first review! :)
