I thought I’d share with you today some of my favourite hair treats at the moment. Good hair care to me is paramount, especially as I am a natural blonde bleached up to platinum. Nourishing, replenishing and SLS free as far as possible. I try out LOTS of hair products from high end to supermarket so this is my current group of favourites.
Hello Lovelies,
As you all know, I’m a bit of a sucker for my hair to be icy white and as cool as my cold stone heart (lol) but if you have ever been on this quest, you’ll know how hard it is to banish those pesky warm tones.
Thankfully I’m a natural blonde so I don’t have too much to contend with but unless I go to a salon….. reaching the perfect cool tones at home is bloody tiresome.
This is where Scott Cornwalls Colour Restore comes in. It has truly transformed my hair routine and I will not be parted from my trusty tube! Priced at £11.99, you can buy it from exclusively from Boots, www.keepmeinspired.co.uk or directly from the Scott Cornwall Website HERE which accepts a myriad of different payment types including Paypal which gets a humungous thumbs up from me!
Depending on your desired results, the handy, simple instructions give you 3 different ways to tone your hair. A rinse through for subtle toning, a medium length tone for mid level changes and an intensive tone for the full effect.
Ice Platinum promises to do the following wonderful things :
Hello Lovelies,
If there is one thing I have noticed since August is my skin has been extremely lack lustre. Given recent events, it’s no surprise really is it?
The extreme mixture of super hot holiday, rubbing at my face with tissues, removing my make up away from home with a wipe or just soap and water (my mother doesn’t have the best stocked beauty bathroom!), puffy skin from crying, the fluctuating temperatures, being run down and the onslaught of harsh heating blasts.
All in all my skin is sending out a ginormous SOS!
In the last week or two I have taken control now i’m feeling better and readdressed my skin care. Needless to say, I have a few absolute GEMS that have seen me through and I thought i’d share them with you….
Make up remover – Elemis Melting Gel Cleanser
I have reviewed this before HERE and it’s the one product I use daily and re-purchase again and again. I’d say it is my holy grail make up remover. Yes it is high end but we are allowed treats aren’t we.
Cleanser – Boots Cold Cream
Again, this is a winter favourite that I have reviewed HERE. I oddly find it too heavy in warmer months to use to cleanse but in Autumn & Winter I love the thick luxurious application and the toasty warm hot flannel to remove the product. I find this method of cleansing is super gentle on my hypersensitive skin, nourishes the dry flaky dry patches I have been suffering and doesn’t aggrevate any breakouts
Moisturiser – Avene’s Rich Compensating Cream
Great, nourishing, thick moisturiser that is great for sensitive skin and tackles those pesky dry, scaly patches with ease. I find it a little too heavy to wear all day under make up, but I like to remove my make up as soon as I get home from work and apply this so it is nice and settled, soaking in to the skin for a maximum time before my morning wash.
Skin Mist – Avene’s Eau Thermale
You’ve guessed it, reviewed HERE. I have been using this product religiously for a long time now. I travel with it and have a can in my bag and on my desk. I wax lyrical about it. Gentle for sensitive skins, it’s a great post cleanse product to mist and refresh, and if you are hot it cools you down super quick. I have been using it to cool my angry red skin from crying and rubbing at my face, but it’s also great when you have a cold and your nose feels like its on fire.
Make up – GOSH BB Cream
No, no review YET…. but I have been absolutely loving this BB Cream. I had fell out of love with the wave of drug store BB creams as they just didn’t match my requirements but the offering from GOSH is amazing. This product is light enough to feel weightless on the skin but gives a really great, natural looking coverage. I admittedly haven’t felt like wearing make up every day but this just effortlessly evens the skin tone and covers redness and dark circles. My only gripe is this comes in what feels like a TINY tube but it has lasted me absolutely ages!
So there you go, an odd mix, but these few products have really got me through and I thought I’d share
Hello Lovelies,
After my recent post HERE on the amazing Undressed palette from MUA, they have released a great Olympics themed palette called Going for Gold.
Not only is this a great price (£4) but the shadows are actually bigger than in the usual palettes too!
I don’t actually think I have anything else to say about this palette to be honest, it’s just another great, high quality palette from MUA which is one of the best low cost, high quality high street brands at the minute. I just truly hope they don’t follow suit with Sleek and get too big for their boots then hike the price of the palettes right up as that would be a crying shame, it really would.
Available in Superdrug stores or via the MUA online site directly HERE, the Going for Gold palette retails at £4 and I highly recommend you go out and buy it… now.
Hello Lovelies,
On a recent trawl around Space N.K, I found myself drawn to the Supergoop! display after seeing it crop up once or twice on my Instagram.
As I’m new to the brand, I thought it was safest to start with a lip balm. Retailing for £8 for 0.5 fl oz at Space NK and elsewhere for around the same price.
Thanks to the weather in England at the minute, I haven’t really had call to test out the SPF qualities but I shall definitely be taking this little gem on holiday with me in August as I know I’ll need some SPF protection for my lips in the heat as my lips always get very dehydrated, no matter how much water I drink or product I use!
£8 for a lip balm may seen excessive to some and it is, but I am a firm believer of buying quality and I would not hesitate to re-purchase this. I will also be hunting out more of the Supergoop! Brand and see how it sits with my hypersensitive skin.
