Haul: Superdrug, Boots, Lush and eBay


Lush Creamy Candy Bubble Bar £2.50 
I really wanted some new things from lush as i haven't actually tried that many products from them. I decided to buy a bubble bar as at home we don't really have any nice bath products. I thought this smelt really nice and looked really pretty so i decided to get it, and it was a really good price at £2.50 as most of lush's stuff is normally quite expensive.

Lush Bubble Gum Lip Scrub £5.50
I used to make my own lip scrubs but i always see people going on about how good these are so i decided to pick one up. I couldn't choose between this one and the mint one but i choose the bubblegum one in the end because i really like the sweet smell, i have used it a few times and its really nice but its very different to the ones i used to make.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks in Funtime fuchsia and Notting hill nude eBay £2.98 each
(Pictured in college at the top, i had to take the big pic down as it was blurry)
I think these have recently been reformulated so at the moment they are all over eBay for like £2-3. I have heard some people say that notting hill nude is good for pale people so of course i had to pick it up, i have used it a few times and it actually is very nice. Essie button loves the shade Funtime fuchsia and it looked really nice on the blog post she did about it so i decided to get it, i have used it a few times and its lovely i was expecting it to be a bit darker but it still lovey and its very pigmented.

Professional Cosmetics Stipple makeup brush, eBay £1.99 
I have always wanted to try some more versions of the real technique brushes but they are kind of expensive, so the other day when i was looking at the brushes on eBay i saw these and i thought i would order a few, and i must say they are lovely, they are very soft and good quality, they are from Hong Kong so they do take a while to get here but believe me they are worth it.


Nivea daily essentials rich moisturising day cream, Superdrug £3.00
This is my every day moisturiser and i love it so much, its great if u have dry skin as it is so moisturising, it literally saved my skin last winter. Its only cheap and it is a staple for me, if you have dry skin you should give it ago.

Clean and Clear deep action cream wash, superdrug £1.99
I recently started micro-dermabrasion at college so i had to stop using my exfoliating products so i decided to pick up a new face wash. I really like clean and clear products so i thought i would give this ago i haven't actually started using this yet as i have been using the other one i brought.

Clearasil Daily clear vitamins and extracts wash and mask, boots £2.99
When i was in boots i saw that these clearasil products were on offer so i decided to pick some up, i have been using this every day and i have been really loving it. After i have taken my makeup off i get in the shower and wash my face with this. It makes my face feel nice and clean and i think it might of helped clear up my spots a little. I really like that it is also a mask so I'm almost getting more for my money.

Clearasil daily clear superfruits refreshing pads, boots £1.99
When i saw these i was very intrigued so i picked them up and decided to give them ago. When reading it i didn't see the part were it said they are exfoliating so that's annoying. But they are still nice, they smell amazing just like apples but very strong. I have used them on my nose when it was feeling a bit ruff and they did a brilliant job.

September Empties 2013


Morrisons Papaya and Mango Shower Scrub
I brought this ages ago and only recently started using it. It is morrisons own so it was really cheap i think it was around £1-2. It smells amazing one of the best things i have ever smelt, im not sure if it actually smells like papaya and mango but it does smell amazing and very fruity, and the smell stays on your skin for a few hours which is nice. For a scrub its not very invigorating, the particles in it are very small and there's is not many of them. I don't think i will repurchase this.

Batiste dry shampoo
This is a product i have talked about many many times so i don't want to bore you. I'm sure you have all used this before and know how good it is. I spray it on second day hair when its looks a bit greasy and my hair looks brand new, it does come out white but i can deal with that, i think i might try the one for brown hair. I will always repurchase this.

TRESemme Ultimate Hold Touchable finish Hair spray
I really love this hair spray but it makes me sneeze which is weird, any way i really like it because it keeps my hair in place all day and it doesn't make it crispy. I might buy the full size of this but im not sure as it does make me sneeze which is a bit odd.

Amargan Hair oil
I brought this at a beauty show that i went to with my college in May. The man working at the stand tried a bit of it on my hair and after it felt amazing so i decided to buy a set of three different products. This is the only one from the pack i have used and that is because i love it so much. It makes my hair feel so amazing, i put about three pumps in to my hand and then spread it in to the ends of my hair when its wet, then when i wake up in the morning my hair feels so soft and looks amazing, i really want the full size but i think its like £20 so that wont be happening.

Carex Sensitive Hand gel
Everyone needs hand gel and this is the one i always buy, its around £1-2 and you can get it any were. I use this before i do my makeup and before i take my makeup off. It cleans my hands very well and i use it all the time. I have already brought another bottle.


Clinique Even better Clinical Dark spot Corrector
My aunt gave me two samples of this a few weeks ago and i started using it and i really liked it . Its a peachy colored serum type product that i applied every night. Im not really sure if i noticed a difference but it was nice to use, i just looked at the website and the full size is like £80 which is ridiculous so i wont be buying that.

Estee Lauder Take it Away Total Makeup Remover 
My mom gave this to me ages ago from one of those big sets that they do at Christmas because she wasn't going to use it. I used it a few times but i didn't really now how to use it so i just left it. But a few months ago i was searching through my collection and i found it so i thought i would give it another try and i really liked it, you can tell i did as i chopped the top off. I message this in to my face then take a damp Kleenex facial cloth and take my makeup off. It is fragranced but it didn't brake me out in spots or any think. I think the full size is like £20 so i wont be buying that, but i do really like this product.

Nivea Soft Refreshingly soft Moisturising cream
Another product that i talk about all the time is this and that is because i love it so much. This is manly a hand cream but i use it on my face and feet, it is so moisturising and makes my skin feel really soft. I will always buy this.

Lavera Cleansing Milk
I was sent this a while ago and i really loved it but then i stopped using it, so when i was trying to use up some products the other month i started using this again and i didn't love it as much but it is nice. Its good because you can use it to take off eye makeup as well as face makeup. Its a yellow colour and it smells a bit like sun cream which is strange. I wont be buying it but it was nice to have.

August empties #10



Lush 9 to 5 cleansing lotion
I actually finished this bottle ages ago but for some reason i decided i was going to keep the bottle, but it was taking up room so i thought i would through it away. This is 100 % my favorite cleanser to use in the evening to take my makeup of, it has no scent and it is very gentle, i repurchased this a while ago and i will for a long time. If you want to know more about this i have done a review of it here

Lush Eau Roma water toner water
Same as the cleanser i was keeping this bottle for no reason and it was taking up space so i am getting rid of it. I tried this a while ago and i must say this is now my all time favorite toner i haven't tried many but i really love this one, its very gentle and has a lovely scent. If you would like to know more about this product i have done a review on it here

Dove hair therapy nourishing oil care express treatment conditioner
I got a few of these at clothes show last December and i hadn't used them so i thought i would try and use them just to get them out of the way . I took it on holiday with me and it was really nice very nourishing and made my hair feel really nice and soft. I smells really nice and the product comes out really cool it was like two colours swirled in to one (like toothpaste), i used quite a lot as i found that you needed to, it made my hair feel really nice but i don't think i will buy the full size.

Schwarzkoft got 2 be to sexy volumising hair spray
This is my all time favorite hair spray i love it so much. Its smells amazing just like cherry aid. It dose go a bit crispy which i actually don't mind. I'm sure i will repurchase this for a while and i actually need to get a new bottle, i get it from body care as its way cheaper than superdrug and boots.

VO5 gloss me smoothly conditioner
In my last empties post (here) i mentioned the gloss me smoothly shampoo and i said that the conditioner would be in my next empties and i was right :). anyway this is a really nice range it makes my hair look lovely
very soft and shiny. If you would like to know more about this i reviewed it here.

Simple kind to skin cleansing lotion
I actually use this to take my eye makeup off as its very gentle and has no fragrance, as a face cleanser its not very good i don't think it dose as good a job as my lush cleanser, i really like this to take eye makeup off and i have already repurchased a new one.

Pretty Perfect nail polish drying spray 
For 99p this is one of the best products i have ever brought. I have already repurchased it and i think i am now on about my third can. It is really good it actually dose help dry your nail polish, it doesn't do it completely but is dose make it touch dry, if you haven't tried one of these then you really have to.

Barry M lip gloss
I have had this lip gloss for ages now about 3 years and its starting to look a bit worse for wear, so i thought it was about time i got rid of it. It doesn't have a name as i got it a clothes show live, but i can tell you its a lovely light pink colour with multi coloured shimmer in it, it also smells amazing my friends said it smells like the blue WKD i really loved this and i would buy it again but i haven't seen it on any Barry M stands.

First aid beauty gentle body wash
I got this in a first aid beauty set a while ago, but i wasn't very impressed so i didn't use any of it, but again i started to use it to get rid of it. This smells horrible like the rest of the set and if im honest it wasn't any think special just a plain old body wash, i wont be repurchasing this or any think else by first aid beauty.

Collective Beauty Haul - Superdrug, Boots and China Glaze

Hello everyone, today's post is going to be a collective post of some makeup and some other things i have brought lately, i hope you enjoy. I have taken these pictures in a different set up because im getting a bit bored of my old one, i don't really have many places to take pictures with really good lightening but this one is okay, tell me what you think of the new set up.


E.L.F eyelid primer in sheer, eBay £2.89
Lots of people have been saying how good this primer is, so i thought i would pick it up and give it a go, its meant to be like the urban decay primer potion and i do agree with that, i have the UDPP and it wasn't working that well for me so i wanted to try a new one, but this elf one is more or less the same. I brought it from ebay simply because i didn't want to pay for delivery on the elf website.

Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeshadow paint in Rich Russet, superdrug £3.99 (offer)
Again lots of people have been talking about these and saying how good and long lasting they are so of course i had to pick one up, i have used it a few times and it is lovely. I am actually going to do a review on this and the next product so im not going to say to much.

Rimmel Scandaleyes retro glam mascara, superdrug £4.99 (offer)
I brought this because i wanted to try a new mascara so i picked this one up mainly because it was on offer, i have used it a few times and it is very nice, i would say it is more of a volumising than lengthening, as i said i am going to do a review of this so that's all im going to say.

Collection Lasting perfection concealer, superdrug £3.99 (offer)
I have used this once before but i brought it in the wrong shade so i haven't really been able to use it, so as i had a little more money this month i thought i would pick it up and give it another go. And im safe to say it really is as brilliant as people say, it covers up my spots and any redness i have, im glad i brought it.

Bourjois colour boost lipstick in peach on the beach, boots £7.99
People have been raving on about these saying how brilliant they are, so i thought i would pick it up and give it a go. I have used it a few times and i really like it, the colour is a lovely peach colour and looks great on my skin tone, its very pigmented and goes on like a dream. It says it lasts 10 hours but that's not true at all. I love this product but i £7.99 is a lot for it.

Collection Work the colour eyeshadow pencil in Vanilla Sky, Wilkinson's £2.50 (offer)
I am actually obsessed with eyeshadow pencil at the moment and these collection one are what stared it all off. I have actually done a review on these here. These are so soft and very pigmented if you haven't tried these i recommend that you do.



Batiste dry conditioner smoothing conditioning mist, boots £2.99 (offer)
I love batiste dry shampoo so when i saw they had came out with a dry conditioner i had to give it a go, i have used it once and it made my hair nice and soft buts that's about it, it wasn't overwhelming like an amazing product i thought it was just okay, i expected it to add shine to my hair but it didn't, kind of a disappointment.

L'Oreal skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micealler solution, superdrug £2.48 (offer) 
People always say that this is really good and i have wanted to try it for a while, so when i saw it on offer i had to pick it up, i have used it a few times and its alright, i think its great that you can use on your face and eyes and it doesn't irritate them, its very soft and takes makeup off well, but i will still use a cleanser after, its not amazing if im honest i think i prefer cream products, but i will still use it as i think its a nice product.


China glaze nail lacquer in Awakening, Sallys around £2-3 on sale
This is a lovely purple duocrome colour with gold shimmer in it, its quite sheer so its best over another nail polish. I got this for a right bargain and im glad i picked it up.

I have recently started a instargam account to go along with my blog, i will mainly be posting pictures of makeup and cosmetics so if that your sort of thing then please follow me my name it: beautycallls or there is a link over to the right somewhere.

Products i have used up #9





Batiste dry shampoo
I brought this little bottle for my holiday and it was great, it lasted the hole holiday bearing in mind i didn't use it everyday. I used it on second day hair to make it look a bit cleaner and less shiny. I love batiste and i don't think i will waste my time trying other dry shampoos.

Vo5 gloss me smoothly shampoo
I got this at clothes show live last December and i have only just run out of it, i used it every two - three days and barely using any other shampoos, that shows that a 500ml bottle really can last a long time. This shampoo was lovely, it cleaned my hair so well and made it look very healthy and smooth. I have almost finished the conditioner as well, im sure that will be in my next empties post. I really like Vo5 hair products and if you haven't tried any think by them you have to. If you would like to now more about this product i reviewed it here.

Schwarzkoft got2b guardian angel heat protection 
I think i am now on about my third or fourth bottle of this stuff, its just an essential in my hair care routine, its a product you just now you should use even though you don't really see a difference in your hair. I have already brought another bottle and i think i will repurchase this for a very long time.

Olay gentle cleanser conditioning milk
I got sent this a while ago and at the time i didn't think much of it as i was using it to remove my makeup, but since then i have been using this to cleanse my skin in the morning and it is great for that. It is very refreshing and i feel like it cleans my skin very well. I have already repurchased this and im sure i will for a while.

Nivea soft refreshingly soft moistruisng cream 
I have talked about this product so much and by now im sure you all now how much i love this product. I use it every were on my feet, my face and my body, its a great product and if you have dry skin any were on your body i would recommend trying this. Its very affordable only about £1-2 and for me its a staple product i will always repurchase this.

My Favorite Hair Products

Hello everyone, in today's post im going to be showing you my favorite hair care products.




Amargan hair therapy oil 
I brought this when i went to a beauty event at the NEC. A man put some on my hair and my hair felt amazing. I use this on damp hair and then let my hair air dry, in the morning my hair feels so amazing so soft and very moisturised. I have almost used up this little bottle and i don't no what im gonna do when it runs out, as i think its kind of expensive.

Herbal essences beautiful ends split and protection cream
I have been using this for ages now, and im on my second bottle. I use this on damp hair, i put about two pumps into my hands rub them together and then smooth it through the lengths of my hair and then let my hair air dry, in the morning my hair feels so amazing very soft and shiny and i actually think that after a while of using this it has helped my split ends stay away. If you would like to now more about this product i have done a full review on it here.

Herbal essences fresh balance clarifying shampoo
People always go on about high end clarifying shampoos but you don't tend to here about any you can get on the high street, so when i saw this i thought i would give it ago as im not up for spending a bomb on expensive ones. I have used this a few times now and i can say that this is a brilliant product it really dose clean your hair so well, and makes it feel squeaky clean. I would recommend making sure you use a very moisturising conditioner on your ends though as you don't wont them drying out.

Schwarzkoft 2 sexy big volume push up volumizing hairspray 
This stuff smells amazing just like cherry aid, it holds my hair so well but it can go a bit crispy which i actually don't mind, as i feel its doing its job. This is my favorite hair spray and i love it so much.

Products i have used up #8

Hello everyone, today's post is going to be about the products that i have recently used up, hope you enjoy.





Nivea daily essentials rich moisturising day cream
If you have read my blog before then you have probably seen me mention this before. I have tried many face creams and i have finally found my holy grail moistuiser, i use this every morning under my makeup or just by itself. Its so moisturising if definitely changed my skin for the better. I have already repurchased this and im sure i will be for a long time.

Batiste dry shampoo
This is my all time favorite dry shampoo and i will forever repurchase it.

Pretty perfect nail drying spray 
I was using a nail polish freeze spray a while ago from AVON and when it ran out i wanted to buy something else that dose the same job, so i picked this one up in poundland just to give it ago and lets just say i love this this product. I have already repurchased this and i will for a while. I might actually review this so if you would like to see that let me know.

TRESemme touchable finish hair spray
I brought this a while ago to take on holiday with me and it was alright i wasn't that impressed, it did its job but it wasn't that brilliant. I don't think i will repurchase this.

Rimmel match perfection foundation
This is my all time favourite foundation and i love it so much. This was the first foundation that i ever brought and im so glad i did, the colour is a little dark for me but i can get away with it, there is a shade lighter than this one, that i would like to try, but went to repurchased it they didn't have it, but that's okay as this darker shade should last me the summer when my skin is a little darker.

Carex hand gel
This is my favorite hand gel, just because it has a pump its so easy to get the right amount out and it cleans my hands so well.

Rimmel sexy curves mascara 
I got this mascara about two years ago so i thought it was about time i got rid of it considering you are only meant to keep then for 6 months but oh well. I love this mascara so much its brilliant, but i cant seem to find it in superdrug or boots so i really hope it hasn't been discontinued, i found that i wasn't very good a first but ounce it has dried out a little its much better.

I hope you enjoyed this post and please follow

Products i Have Used up #7


Hello everyone, today i have an empties post for you, i have used up quite a lot of products this month and im not actually showing you all of them.


Aussie Dual personality conditioning gel spray
I really loved this product it was very conditioning and made my hair feel really soft and look very healthy. I really enjoyed using it and im said that its finished because i think its been discontinued so i cant buy it again :(
VO5 ultimate hold hairspray
I brought this because it was cheap and the bottle is massive but i kind of regretted it because its not that good and i didn't want to buy a different one until this had finished, this bottle lasted me a good 6 months. the hair spray is alright it did its job but its not the best one i have ever used. I don't think i will buy this again.
Batiste fresh dry shampoo
Everybody loves dry shampoo, right. Im not really a fan of any of the other scents so i either buy this one or the original one. This is great just to freshen your hair up when its feeling a little greasy, or if you are just way to busy to wash your hair, if you haven't tried this already, wear have you been living ??
Next diamonds body spray 
I love the perfume version of this, so my mom brought me the this, and some other things from the range for me when i got my GCSE results last year. It was alright it didn't smell exactly the same as the perfume which was kind of annoying, but it was still nice to use to freshen my self up through out the day.


Nivea soft moisturising cream
If you have been reading my blog lately then you will have seen me mention this in quite a few of my posts, that's because i love this product so much, im sad its run out and im definitely going to be buying another one. If you would like to now more about this product click here to see my evening skin care routine.
Lush eau roma water toner water
I love this toner so much and im sad its gone, but actually i have had this for about four months which is really good considering i use this almost everyday. I will definitely be buying this again as its not that expensive, like some lush products can be.
Garnier body intensive 7 days soothing lotion
If you have seen my second from last haul then you would have seen me mention the gel version of this and i must say im not a fan, this is much better.The bottle has lasted me a long time and and i think im going to buy this again and give the other one to my mom, as that one kind of irritates my legs and i need something for sensitive skin like this one.
Next diamonds body wash
Again i got this from my mom last year. Its smells the same as the body spray. It was alright nothing special, i wouldn't buy it again but it was nice to use.

Thank you for reading and please follow

Beauty Haul


Hello everyone, so today i have another haul for you, these are just a few bits i have picked up over the last few weeks.


Clean & clear exfoliating daily wash, superdrug £1.99 (on offer)
If you have seen my morning skin care routine you would have seen this already. This a great exfoliater for daily use, it is very gentle on this skin and cleans it well. I brought this because i broke out in a load of spots and this really helped to clear them up.
Naked skin looking good soothing eye gel poundland £1
I brought this partly because i had wanted to try an eye cream for ages, as i have never used one before and partly because i now that this brand it meant to be quite good, but this first time i used it, i used way to much and it really stung my eyes, so for a few days i was really hesitant to using it, but i did use it again but this time i used a lot less product and it was alright but still stung my eye a little bit, i don't now if i really going to start using this properly as i really don't like that it stings my eyes !!
Clean & clear deep cleaning lotion, superdrug £1.99 (on offer)
As my skin was really bad, i wanted a liquid cleanser that i could use in the morning, to make sure my skin was as clean as it could be, and also to treat my skin. The product is self is very good, the only thing is the scent it smells so strong of chemicals. I also mentioned this is my morning skin care routine.


Batiste dry shampoo fresh, body care £1.49
Body care sells batiste so cheap so if you like this product but not the price, go to body care. Now im sure you all now what this is so im not going to say much.
Schwarzkopf got2b 2 sexy big volume hairspray, body care (around £2)
I have used this hairspray before and when i saw it in body care for really cheap i new i had to get it. This product smells absolutely amazing, it smells like cherry aid its honestly to die for. I haven't used this yet and i cant remember if its any good or not, but im sure it is.
TRESemme platinum strength deep conditioning treatment, Sainsburys (around £2 on offer) 
I have seen lots of people talk about this range and i really wanted to try this so i picked it up while it was on offer. I have only used it once so i cant give you my full opinion, but it is very lovely and i made my hair feel really soft.


MUA nail polish, superdrug £1
I saw these out the corner of my eye and i was literally drawn to them. Lots of people have been blogging about these so i really wanted to pick a few up. The old packaging was horrible so i am so glad they have changed them, they look very much like Essie nail polish's but i don't know it they are as good as i have never used Essie before, i think they are way to expensive just for a nail polish. I got the colours Moody Mink and Natural Days, Moody Mink is a gray, purple kind of colour i have wanted this shade of nail polish for ages so i am very glad i picked it up, the other colour Natural Days this is a very light baby pink i don't actually own a pink this colour so i had to pick it up as it was only £1. I really want to get a few more colours that i have seen some people blog about as they look lovely. If you want to see a whole post on these with swatches then let me know :)

What have you brought recently ??

Whats in my Holiday Skin and Hair Care Bag.

Hello all, today i will be carrying on with the posts from my holiday, today i will be showing you all of the hair care and skin care that i brought with me.


Hair care

VO5 gloss me smoothly shampoo and conditioner (in bottles with pink tops)
If you read my hair care post you will know that the actual bottles for this shampoo and conditioner are massive to i brought these travel bottles from primark to put into, so they would be easier to travel with.
Onto the actual product, this shampoo are amazing they make my hair feel so clean and really conditioned. if you havnt tried any VO5 shampoo and conditioners you really need to they are lovely. If you want to see more info on these click here for my hair care routine.
TRESemme touchable finish hair spray
A few weeks ago i asked you guys on twitter what your favorite hair spray was, and a lot of you said this TRESemme one and the LOreal one. So i thought i would try and kill one bird with two stones, i thought i would buy the small bottle, as it is travel friendly and just so i could try it out to see if i like it, and yh i like it, but i think i will try the LOreal out before buying the big size of this.
VO5 miracle concentrate argan oil
This is such a great product, it smells amazing, makes my hair feel amazing and i really enjoy using it. I thought it would be good to take on holiday as it is only small. That's all im going to write about this, is you want to know more i featured it in my hair care routine
Schwarzkopf got2b guardian angel heat defense
This is a great heat defense its protects you hair up to the heat of 220 degrees and it smells lovely. this is my favorite heat protection along with the tresemme one as it has a cool spray pump on it haha.



Face and body care

Nivea rich moisturising day cream
This stuff is amazing it actually saved my skin this winter. It is so moisturising and lovely, its pretty thick for a day cream but that's fine with me, as it makes my skin look fresh and moisturised. the one i have is for dry and sensitive skin but i believe they also do one for more oily skin to, so whatever your skin type i highly recommend this to you.
Nivea soft moisturising cream
Another amazing moisturiser from nivea. I use this as my night cream and i use it on my body as you can use it on your face, hands and body which i think is very good. It is slightly perfumed but nothing to over the top. My skin feels lovely in the morning very soft and supple. This is a great all rounder product, if you haven't yet tried it you have to.... now.
Skinetica spot treatment
I brought this with me just in case if i had any random breakouts. This is alright, i haven't really noticed any difference to my spots using this, but i just brought it just in case of an emergency spot.
Levera cleansing milk
I bought this because it is a 2 in 1 product it is a cleanser and an eye makeup remover, i thought it would save room in my luggage.I love this stuff it makes my skin look and feel very clean and it is great for getting eye makeup off.
Lush eau roma water toner water
This is the only toner i own and i love it, its so fresh and cool to use on the skin, it gets any excess makeup off and any unwanted cleanser that maybe left on the skin. Its just under £4 which isn't to bad, when this runs out i will definitely be buying it again.
First aid beauty body moisturiser  
I brought this because it is small and i wanted to start using it, but i just hate the smell and it really puts me of using it, and it dosent help that i brought a new moisturiser when i was there so i was using the new one and not this one.

Thank you so much for reading and please follow

Hair Care Routine


The other day i was looking through the posts i have done and i released i haven't done a hair care routine and i thought it was about time i did it so here it is.

Before i get started here is some info on my hair. My hair has never been dyed it is its natural colour, which is a light brown dark blonde colour. My hair is quite long just under my boobies. I use to have quite short layers and a fringe but i decided to grow them all out because my hair was getting so thin. I wash my hair every two days, at night because i don't like washing my hair in the morning because its to fluffy and my hair doesn't do what i want it to do.

In the above picture is my Shampoo and Conditioner i use on my hair every two days, VO5 gloss me smoothly for frizzy hair i got these for free with a company magazine subscription along with some other products you will see in this post. This shampoo is lovely it smells amazing and makes my hair feel lovely and clean, the conditioner also smells amazing (they have the same sent) and makes my hair feel so soft and moisturised. Both of these products are enriched with a blend of five essential oils, the oils are: Avocado oil, Argan oil, Apricot oil, Grape seed oil and Jojoba oil. These ingredients are what makes the products smell so amazing. On the back it says 'caress and smooths your hair to control frizz and fly always, makes hair more manageable to style' which must be very useful for people who was their hair in the mornings.



Some times i wont use the conditioner i will use this VO5 treat me fight hair mask i also got this free with the magazine subscription. Like the shampoo and conditioner this smells amazing, it does have the same smell just a lot more stronger, this is also enriched with the same essential oils. This product is amazing it makes my hair look so healthy, and makes my hair feel incredibly soft and very moisturised. I get a whole load of this product in to my hands and put it through the lengths of my hair and leave it in for 1-3 minutes as it says on the tub and then wash it out.


When i get out of the bath/shower and have towel dried my hair i will use one of these products on my hair.

Herbal essences beautiful ends split end protection cream i have done a review on this here and mentioned it in my last empties post here so i m not going to say to much about this product but i will tell you that it is amazing i think that it has helped keep my split ends at bay.
VO5 miracle concentrate i also got this free with the magazine subscription. This Elixir is lovely it smells amazing, it has the same scent as the hair mask. It is a brilliant oil you can use it on wet and dry hair and it hydrates and deeply conditioning the hair. It makes your hair nice shiny, smooth and silky soft.
 Aussie dual personality conditioning gel spray this is an amazing product i brought it on a whim ages ago because it was on offer for like 50p, well actually i think it has been discontinued because i haven't seen it since, that's a shame because i think this bottle only has one or two more uses left :( The weird thing about this product is that it is actually a gel consistency which is so odd. But this makes my hair feel so lovely and soft and my hair looks very healthy after using this.
I also use Batiste dry shampoo, whenever my hair need a bit of a refresh if its looking a bit greasy.
Another i use is the Schwarzkopf heat defense, i spray a bit of this in my hair just before i blow dry or straighten it.

What is your favorite hair product ?

Products i Have Used up #6





Hello everyone hope you are having a great half term. Today's post is my products i have used up, hope you enjoy. Also sorry i haven't posted all week i was ill :( and have also been at family gatherings, so sorry about that but im back now :)x

AVON Nail experts liquid freeze
My mom actually brought this from AVON but she wasn't using it so she gave it to me, which was really nice of her. This is actually really good i find it dose actually "freeze" your nail polish. When you spray it, it dose go all over your hands which is a bit annoying, especially because its a little bit greasy which is a bit strange, but it dose dry after a while. I would say my nails are touch dry within about 5 mins but you still have to be careful as you can still smudge them.
I don't think i will repurchase this as i don't think it is worth the £6 price tag and also i think i have found something that is a lot better.

Herbal Essences beautiful ends split ends protection cream
I have actually done a review on this so if you want to see that click here.
This is really good, i brought it on a whim because it was on offer for really cheap, and i have ended up really liking this product. I find that over time using this product it has actually helped my split ends, i have a lot less split ends than i used to and i definitely think that it has something to do with this product.
I love this product and im really glad i brought it, i have already repurchased another bottle of this.

Simply pure Gentle eye makeup remover 
I have done a mini review on this and some other products from this range, if you would like to see the review click here.
If i am remembering correctly i believe that this wasn't that good, i had to rub at my eyes a lot to get my makeup all off. This has no scent which is good and its for sensitive skin. Its been a while since i have used this so i don't really remember much about it so sorry about it. I wont be repurchasing this product as i have been converted to cream eye makeup remover, i find they do the job a lot better and they are a lot softer on your eyes.

Protect hand gel, ASDA hand sanitiser
I was in ASDA and i really needed a hand sanitiser and this is the only one it could find so i just brought it. This was alright it did the job, it wasn't any think special. Again it has been a while since i was using it so i don't really remember much about this product (sorry).
I don't think i will repurchase this as i prefer the carex hand sanitisers.

Umberto Gannini Glam hair Rock "n" Roll Extreme hair spray
My cousin brought me a Umberto Gannini set for Christmas, it came with this, back comb in a bottle and an eyeliner.
This was alright it kept my hair in place but did make my hair a little crispy which i didn't really like, i wasn't to keen on the smell either it was very hair sprayey (duh). I don't really have much to say abut this as its just a hair spray and it has also been a while since i was using it lol, i wont be buying the big size of this.

Palmers cocoa butter Daily Calming facial lotion
I absolutely LOVE this stuff, this such a great moisturiser to use at night and in the day. It moisturises so well, it actually saved my skin this winter. I got two of these little samples in a goody bag from clothes show live in December and im glad i did as i never would of picked it up if i saw it in superdrug. I think it retails for £5-6 which i think is quite a lot for a moisturiser in the drugstore but i don't care i will still buy it. I didn't realise until i was editing the pictures that on the bottle it says "reduces redness and irritation, calms stressed skin" i think this is a bonus as i get quite red skin. I love this stuff and i would recommend it to you if you get dry skin.
I am deferentially going to but the bit bottle of this.

Have you tried any of these products ?

Thank you so much for reading

Original eyeshadow pallet, eyelashes, red lip gloss ( already had this :( and i don't use it) and face and body highlighter.


 Black snood £8
This is the only item of clothing i got, me and my cousin were not very impressed with the clothes that were there, they had almost the same stuff at every stool and even though its meant to be reduced in price we found it still expensive and we just didn't like the clothes they had.



 Random things
so...? were giving out free dry shampoos so i picked up two, i also got the models own goody bag which you wont see in this post as somebody is giving it to me for xmas ( you will c in my xmas haul) this more magazine came free with it and lastly i got a stylfile nail file, there was a offer on where you can get three for £5, so i got one for myself, one for my mom for xmas and my cousin got one for her mom and tom the man from the apprentice who invented them was there and he signed them for us.

Clothes show live goody bag
I had the special ticket were you get a goody bag, just like last year it was terrible, the only reason why get the more expensive ticket is so we can get a really good seat in the fashion show.
lady gaga perfume sample, Brittany spears perfume sample, garner BB cream sample, dove conditioner, tooth paste ( random), another perfume sample ( cant remember what it is) and Nivea body oil, and there was some other things but i got rid of them as i wasn't interested in them.
So that is most of the stuff i got, as i mentioned i got a models own goody bag but someone is giving it to me for xmas, the same for the Barry M goody bag i got, i decided for someone to get me these to as i wasn't that impressed with them.
If you want me to do ant separate posts on any of these things do let me know.

Herbal essences beautiful ends split end protection cream.


Hello everyone

So today i have a review of the herbal essences split ends protection cream for you i hope you enjoy.




This is a leave in split end protection cream, i use this about 10 mins after  iv come out the shower/bath when my hair isent dripping wet, i split my hair in to two sections then pump about one and a half pumps of this in to my hand and run it through the ends of my hair on the first section and then repeat in the second section of my hair with another pump and a half of the product, then let my hair air dry.
I think that this actually helps my hair i brought this in august and have been using it since then, i haven't had my hair cut since may and i barely have any split ends and im going to put that down to this i think its brilliant and it actually dose the job.
On the back it says "lavish me through to your tips to give your hair the daily special treatment.  Don't rinse out just put me on towel dried hair or dry hair and ill keep loving your locks and help protecting your tips all day long".
This product is lovely and i definitely recommend that you go and buy it, i got mine on offer in superdrug.

If you have any request pop them down below and i will be sure to do them for you.
