MY FAVOURITE HAIRCARE PRODUCTS!!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having an amazing week, I have been so busy recently with work and everything but today I thought I would focus on my haircare routine and some of the products I use to keep my hair looking glossy and super soft. In this post I have included 5 products that I use and want to share with you so I hope you like this post! I have included different brands I like to use such as John Frieda, Tresemme, Philip Kingsley and Percy & Reed.

Tresemme Colour Vibrance Protection Shampoo

This is my favourite shampoo ever, I absolutely love it, it's by far the best shampoo I have ever used, it smells absolutely amazing, I love it!! Although this product is expensive, I do like to buy it when I can and I always buy a travel size one when I go away as it is my favourite shampoo ever. This shampoo leaves my hair feeling so smooth and soft and makes my hair look super shiny and glossy.

John Frieda 7 Day Volume In-Shower Treatment

This product is great, I use this after I have used shampoo, I apply about 3-4 pumps of this product and massage it into my roots and then cover my hair fully. I leave this product on for about 5 minutes and then wash it off. Instantly it leaves my hair feeling so soft and makes my hair look more volumised and thicker. I use this product about once a week, I don't use it everytime I wash my hair as its good to give your hair a break from using products but I do like to use this regularly!

Philip Kingsley Polishing Balm

This is my favourite product to use once I have towel dried my hair before I use my hair dryer, I apply this product to the mid length of my hair to the ends, this works best as leaves my hair looking more volumised and so soft!! I then dry my hair as normal and style it, this product works best for volumising my hair!

Percy & Reed Session Hold Hairspray

This hairspray is the best hairspray I have, it gives you a strong hold and leaves your hair feeling soft unlike other hairsprays which I often find leave my hair feeling hard and leave it so hard to brush after I have applied hairspray. I rarely use this hairspray however when I do, I have to say the hold is amazing and my hair looks and feels amazing!!

Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo is amazing, I use this product probably once or twice a week and I have to say when I when I use it, it leaves my hair feeling so soft as well as helps it look healthy and fresh. I always use this product if I'm busy and know I won't be able to wash my hair that day as it works so well and leaves my hair feeling so nice.

BIRCHBOX REVIEW - AUGUST 2016!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend, I've had such a busy weekend so I thought it would be a great time for me to post this blog post about my August Birchbox - If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know I have bought Birchbox for a couple of months now as I love the variety of products as I love trying travel sizes of different products as I think this is a great way to try new products without spending a lot of money on full size products - especially if you end up not liking a few of the products!

The August Birchbox was very different to the normal monthly Birchbox as it came in a bag instead of a box, I like this idea as it's always good to have lots of makeup bags and I use makeup bags a lot more than the boxes. However, I was surprised the little bags weren't more colourful and bright as the boxes are absolutely gorgeous and have beautiful patterns on them so I thought the bags would be the same. I received the "Blue Fin" Birchbag which was what the products were sent in.

Anatomicals The Buff Stuff Citrus Body Scrub (worth £3.99)

This was the first product I tried from this months Birchbox, I absolutely love this product as it leaves my skin feeling amazing, it feels so soft and smooth and this product smells absolutely incredible! It has a beautiful fresh citrus scent, the perfect scent for a body scrub! I don't usually like body scrubs as I have sensitive skin and often find them harsh on my skin but this one is amazing, it's so gentle on my skin and leaves it feeling amazing!!

Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo (worth £14.50)

I had never used dry shampoo up until I received this product so I thought I would try it out and to be honest, the product does what is says "one more day", it's good if you know you're busy and you won't have time to wash your hair because it leaves your hair looking super healthy and volumised, as if you have just washed it! I would buy this product again as even though it is expensive for a hair product, I think it's definitely worth it!

Yes To Coconut Facial Wipes (worth £3.99)

I haven't tried this product yet but I can't wait to try it. This product is supposed to be amazing to gently cleanse and hydrate my skin. Coconut water is amazing for hydrating your skin and leaving it feeling so fresh and amazing!! I can't wait to try this product, I will post my thoughts on this product either on Twitter or in a skincare blog post!

Balance Me Radiance Face Mask (worth £18)

This product is absolutely amazing, if you have been reading my posts for a while, you will know I love taking care of my skin and I love trying new face masks. This product is absolutely amazing, it cleanses, exfoliates and brightens my skin, leaving my face feeling amazing! For best results I apply this product in circular motions and leave it for 5 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth. This face masks develops into a clay based mask which I love, they are my favourite types of face masks.

Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Expresso (worth £10.50)

This eyeliner is absolutely incredible, it's so easy to create precise and even lines as well as use to create smokey eye makeup looks. I am not a massive fan of eyeliner to be honest, I wear it rarely, only if I really want to define my eyes or have bold eye makeup. This product is great as it's quite easy to blend the product and it's also waterproof. I probably wouldn't buy this product again as I don't use eyeliner that often, however I would say this one is super easy to use and amazing quality!!

Merci Handy Antibacterial Hand Cleansing Gel (worth £2.90)

I actually really like this product, it's always great to have a hand gel in your handbag and this one is fab! I like this one as it's packed with vitamins to hydrate and nourish my hands which is great. I find these great for when you want to freshen up before you eat or when you are out and about as they instantly refresh your hands leaving them healthy and clean!

One thing I love about Birchbox is I get to try different brands and products I wouldn't normally buy, this is good as I get to try the products before I buy the full size as well as I'm also able to find new products and if I like them then I can buy them again. I'm so happy I subscribed to Birchbox and I really hope you enjoy these posts, I love writing them and giving my opinion.

Thanks so much for reading!

MY FIRST EVER BIRCHBOX REVIEW - MAY 2016!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have been wanting to subscribe to a beauty box subscription for ages and the other day I was having a look on the internet and I came across Birchbox. I love trying new products and the Birchbox website was so informative on what products the boxes offered so I was desperate to try them. Once I had ordered mine, I was able to enter some information in order to make sure products I would receive products I like. I ordered one and it arrived a few days ago and I couldn't wait to share this box and the amazing products I received, I would love to make these a monthly feature on my blog so I hope you all enjoy this blog post!!

The May Birchbox was the "For the Dreamers..." box which included a lovely booklet on the products included in this box as well as I also received a 20% off voucher which I can use to buy products from the website. My Birchbox cost £12.95 including delivery which I think is so affordable as I received loads of wonderful products including a free Jelly Pong Pong luminater gel in Glow Getter which is a beautiful subtle shimmery highlighter, I absolutely love it. I would recommend subscribing to Birchbox if you want to try new beauty products regularly as I love trying new products and this product is amazing!!

There were so many amazing beauty products that I received in my May Birchbox, I can't wait for next months! The booklet I received in the box was helpful as it provided information on all of the products as well as suggested the best way to use the products. All of the products were in a drawstring bag inside the box.

1. Spectrum Cosmetics Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge

The first product in my box was a product from Spectrum Collections which was the Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge, this is a gorgeous sponge, similar to the beauty blender I have at the minute, just a little bit smaller. I love this sponge, it's so soft, I absolutely love using this sponge to apply my make up as it's absolutely lovely to apply make up. When I ordered this box, I was given the option to choose a pink or lilac sponge, I chose the lilac one as I already had a pink one. This sponge came in the cutest packaging in a lovely little plastic packet, I love this sponge, it's so simple and easy to use, I love using this sponge to apply my foundation as it's great to use for a flawless finish!

2. The Balm Cosmetics Staniac in Beauty Queen

Another product I found in my Birchbox was a product from the Balm Cosmetics, Staniac in Beauty Queen, this is a beautiful lip and cheek tint, I love the shade of this product, it's a gorgeous dark red shade, I absolutely love it. I love this product as it is absolutely amazing and looks really nice when used as a cheek tint. I really like the Balm Cosmetics, the products are absolutely amazing, I have a few products from this range and the quality of their products is so good!!

3. Philip Kingsley PK Prep Polishing Balm

I absolutely love using this product, I love using different hair products and this one is amazing!! This hair product is more like a gel than a cream base product and it smells divine. This product is great at making my hair look shiny, glossy and sleek, I love it! I like to use this product after I have blowdried my hair as it's great to style my hair. I also love to use this product in the mornings to make my hair look super glossy and sleek! I've heard so many good things about Philip Kingsley products so I can't wait to try some more!!

4. Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator

This product is absolutely insane, I absolutely love it, it's an amazing exfoliating cleanser, it's great for making skin brighter and smoother!! I have used this product a few times since I got it and I absolutely love it, the product recommends using it regularly therefore I can't wait to use this product more often!

5. Kueshi Foot Care Cream

I love this product, the foot cream is so nice and nourishing, it's really rich and leaves my feet feeling so smooth! This product smells absolutely lovely, this product is very soothing and rich, I would recommend this product to anyone who is wanting to try a new foot cream!!

I was also given two extra products in the Birchbox, one of the products was a product from Sarah Chapman, this product was Skinesis Spot SOS Stickers, I haven't used this product yet but I can't wait to use it, I've read so many great things on how they diminish spots and minimise redness, I want to use this product, I think I will use them a few times and then I think I will feature them in a skincare routine blog post in a few weeks.

Another product I was given for free when I bought this box as a promotional offer was the Jelly Pong Pong Luminizer Gel in Glow Getter, this product is absolutely amazing, I love highlighters and this one is so subtle and natural and very different to any other highlighters or illuminators I've used previously, yet it has an absolutely gorgeous shimmer, I think this product would be a great highlighter to use daily.
