Review | TRESemme Keratin Smooth

Image
Information Brand | TRESemme Expert Selection Product | 7 Day Smooth System Heat Activated Treatment Size | 120ml Price | £6.99 What it claims |  TRESemmé 7-Day Keratin Smooth Heat Activated Treatment is a first-to-market breakthrough in new generation hair technology. Using Heat Activated Polymers, this brand new formula is activated simply by using hair straighteners to provide long lasting, salon looking hair that stays beautifully smooth for seven days, and up to three washes.  To use this product you first start with towel dried hair. It says to use 8-10 pumps of product on medium length hair, in my opinion that is far too much! My hair is about boob length and I use a maximum of 3 pumps. You get a lot of product out in just one pump. So I'd say for short hair 1 pump, mid length 2 and long 3 to 3 1/2 pumps. I actually really like the scent its smells like a sweet. It works into the hair really easy and doesn't feel greasy. It says to blow dry hair and then straighten, alt...

P.S Love...

Image
I'm a lover of all things bargainy so last week when I picked up a lipstick from Primark to give a try, I kinda fell in love! So today I went back and picked up a few more bits. I picked up a two palettes 'day' and 'night' for £2.50, a lip gloss, two lip crayons, a lip gloss crayon and two lips stain pens for £1.50 each.  I wanted to do a quick swatch post because I kinda get excited when a buy new products and these are so cheap I wanted to share them! I really love that you get a mix of shimmer and matte in both palettes. The colours in the 'Night' palette are more opaque where as the 'Day' palette is a tad more on the sheer side. From Left to Right:  + Lip Gloss + Red Lip Stain + Pink Lip Stain  + Red Lip Crayon + Bright Pink Lip Crayon + Pale Pink Lip Crayon I'm really looking forward to giving these ago as I was so pleased with my PS Love lipstick. The gloss is really lovely and opaque and the stains look like they will leave good colour. Af...

Review | Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo

Image
Hi Guys! Today I'm sharing with you my strongly mixed feelings on this Lush product. Information Brand | Lush Product | No Drought Dry Shampoo Size | 115g Price | £6.75 Would I re-purchase | Un-decided So what our are ingredients, Cornflour, Magnesium Carbonate, Talc, Perfume, Grapefruit Oil, Lime Oil, Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool. So I bought this when I was going through my brief obsession with Lush. I wanted to try it out and see how it compared to the Batiste dry shampoo which is in aerosol form. To use you can either puff it straight on to the roots/grease affected areas or pop some on your hands and work through. I prefer this technique better as I have more control where I'm putting it. Although I do sometimes use the puff-straight-to-scalp technique too. The powder is super light-weight and smells divine. Its so fresh and citrusy, and you can defiantly smell the grapefruit oil. Although I find that the scent does not translate into the hair, if that makes sense....

Foundation Review | George Mousse Foundation

Image
Like everyone else I'm always looking out for the perfect foundation and so I'm willing to give anything ago whether it be the cheapest of the cheap or something a bit more high end. This foundation I'm reviewing today is the Asda own brand George Skin Perfection Mousse Foundation. Information Brand | George @ Asda Product | Skin Perfection Mouse Foundation Shade | No.1 Porcelain Size | 20g Price | £6 but I bought it at introductory price of £3 Would I re-purchase | Yes! So let me start off by saying I was pleasantly surprised with this foundation. It comes in a little glass tub with a black plastic lid. When I purchased mine there were only two available colours porcelain and ivory beige. I recently checked the website and it now shows another two shades natural beige and honey beige,  so four in total.  When buying foundations I always opt for the lightest shade even though I'm olive toned all foundations oxidise on my skin making them darker so the lighter I go the...

100 Happy Days

Image
The #100happydays is something I've been seeing a lot on instagram, and being a little inquisitive I googled. What I was led to was this  WEBSITE  asking 'Can you be happy 100 days in a row?' It sounds tough because we all go through things in life that make us feel a little less than happy from time to time.  As you read down the website the general premises is that we are all so busy running around with super busy schedules that we find less and less time to stop and appreciate a moment and before we know it, its gone and we just carry on rushing about. We forget to look at the everyday beauty that surrounds our lives and appreciate our lives, and our own miracle of being alive. There is a Dr Manhattan (from Watchmen) quote which I think everybody should hear/read at least once:  " Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, i...

First Impressions | Sample Rimmel BB Cream Matte

Image
I'm getting bit of a Sample collection so I thought it high time I actually start using them! So I'm going to do a little series of first impressions.  I got my little sample in my Company magazine last month. Information  Brand | Rimmel London Product | BB Cream Matte 9-in-1 Shade | Light Price | £6.99 Will I Purchase | No First off its very thick and creamy and glides on really nicely. It gives good coverage but the colour on me is a bit more orangey than I'm used to. The downside to this product is that it only comes in 2 shades light and medium. It claims that it is a 9-in-1 product:  1| Minimises the appearance of pores  2| Evens skin tone  3| Mattifies  4| Controls shine all day  5| Smoothes  6| Soothes  7| Conceals dark circles  8| Helps prevent blemishes  9| Gives all day coverage  For me this only does about 2 of these things. It does minimise the appearance of my pores and has concealed my dark circles a little bit. M...
