Love Your Hair

If you have read my previous blog posts, you may have noticed that I mentioned I've ombred my hair. We all know how damaging bleach can be to our hair. 
The ends of my hair very much needed some tlc. It had become very dry and brittle and just really didn't look nice anymore. 
I had been looking for a good hair mask that I could use as often as I needed and stumbled upon this one by Avon in there Planet Spa collection. I can't remember exactly how much I paid but it definitely wasn't more than £5. 
I use this hair mask every other time that I wash my hair and apply it to just the lengths and ends of my hair, avoiding my roots and leave it on for anywhere between five to ten minutes, then rinse. First of all it smells absolutely amazing!! It's shea butter like you have never smelt before. I really can't stop smelling my hair after I have used this (yeah...strange I know). It's leaves my hair feeling alot softer and very nourished. 
I have been using this hair mask for nearly a month now and have noticed a massive improvement to the ends of my hair. It no longer looks like straw and is a lot less brittle.
As you can see from the pictures, it is very well loved and I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.


Do you use a hair mask? If so, I would love to know which one. Leave me a comment below.


Until next time

May Favourites

I thought I'd do a May favourites as I didn't do one for the month of April, mainly because I didn't really have any new favourites. 
For the month of May I have rediscovered some product and also I have fallen in love with some brand new products, well, new to me.

 Soap & Glory Foam Call Dual-Use Shower & Bath Body Wash
I've only just got round to trying this product and I'm in LOVE with it! First of all it smells absolutely amazing and I love how soft it leaves my skin feeling. I've been using this for about three weeks now and I've hardly used any at all. A little really does go a long way with this product.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara 
The first time I used this product I wasn't that amazed by it if I'm honest. But after using it for nearly a week I have totally changed my mind! I love the way the brush is shaped to hug my lashes and picks up lashes I didn't even know I had. It makes my lashes look fuller and longer, a very natural look without clumps.

Invisibobble The Traceless Hair Ring
I've had this product for a couple of months now and haven't really used it. But lately I have been using it more and loving it. I find it to be the perfect hair band for a messy bun and no bobby pins needed! You use it as a normal hair tie but because of its shape it grips hair so easily and doesn't pull.

Eyeko London Eye Lash Curler 
I love how easy this is to use. It doesn't pull on my lashes and it curls them perfectly. I find my lashes stay curled all day.

L'Oreal Elvive Full Restore 5 Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner 
I've recently ombred my hair (if you wish to see how it turned out and what products I used, leave a comment below and I'll do a post about it) and as we all know using bleach on our hair is very damaging. The ends of my hair were very dry and looked very damaged but since I have been using these products my hair has improved massively!

Pro-Voke Touch Of Silver Twice A Week Brightening Shampoo 
This is another product I've been using on my ombred hair. It brightens the blonde in my hair and banishes any brassy tones. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers 
This is one of my favourites out of all my perfumes. I've gone through many bottles I love it that much. I hadn't used this one for a little while until a couple of weeks ago and I've fallen in love with it all over again. It's perfect for day and night.

Bee Good Honey & Wild Water Mint 3-In-1 Cleansing Water
I've only just started to use this product but I'm already seeing that my skin looks clearer and is feeling so much better. I'm not going to lie but my night time skin care routine isn't what it should be but this product is helping. Full review on this product coming up soon.

L'Oreal Paris Studio Line Hot & Smooth 
Ive had this product a little while just laying around, as when I first bought and tried it, I really didn't think much of this product at all. But since rediscovering it, I'm really liking it this time. I'm finding my hair is definitely a lot smoother and less frizzy. Which is perfect as summer is just around the corner.

I'd love to know what products you have been loving lately.


Until next time

The Dream Box

A couple of days ago you may have seen that I posted about the latest beauty box must have, which as predicted sold out super quick! The British Beauty Blogger teamed up with Latest In Beauty to bring us The Dream Box and what a dream it is! I don't think I have ever been so excited about a beauty box before. The three days I had to wait for it to arrive at my door seemed like forever! 
So, I thought I would share with you all what I received. Although all the boxes have the same products inside, there our different variations in some.

I think you will agree with me when I say 'this is a very impressive beauty box', a big well done to The British Beauty Blogger and Latest In Beauty for putting this dream box together. The box is worth over £100 yet only cost £19.95! Not only is this a value for money box no brainer, it's filled with 15 pretty awesome products too. 
I am so excited to start trying these products out. I will be posting some reviews on them in the near future, so keep an eye out.
Were you lucky enough to get your hands on this fantastic dream box?
