Hair Favourites

Hello Lovelies, 

It feels like I haven't posted in forever! I planned on posting a trip to the countryside last Sunday with little Ozzy and the Mr. All was going well, we had a picnic and everything, but then Ozzy decided to be sick in the car so we had to turn around and go home. 

This week I thought I'd let you in on some of my all time hair favourites. My hair at the moment is very thick and can sometimes be very dry. This is my own fault though because I've not had my hair cut in over 2 years! It is on my to do list though I just don't know when I will get around to having it done. Today I washed my hair with Tresemme platinum strength shampoo and conditioner, followed by their stay soft leave in conditioner. I gave it a quick blast with the hair dryer and left it as I wasn't planning on doing much. I try not to use heat on my hair very often and only wear it down once or twice a week.

 I usually mix and match my products depending on the look I want. For messy waves I use Toni & Guy casual sea salt texturising spray, this product is amazing for messy beach waves, you only need a few sprays on blow dried hair to give instant texture.  

 TRESemme platinum strength is a new favourite of mine along with the shampoo and conditioner. This combo leaves my hair feeling so light and soft. With my hair being really thick it can sometimes feel heavy which can make it hard to style, not only that but sometimes it seems to take forever to dry. The TRESemme range seems to be doing wonders for it at the moment. 

When I wants straight hair I use Trevor Sorbie's beautifully straight lightweight serum. With this I pump a couple of blobs into the palm of my hands, rub them together and then apply from about half way down my hair. I tend not to use products on my roots as it can make my hair look really greasy. I then blow dry straight and run my GHD's over the ends.   

 Another great hair care range is Bed Head, this can sometimes be pricey and is mainly available in salons. However I purchased mine when it was on offer at feelunique.com. After party is amazing for smoothing down fly aways and frizz after you have finished styling and it smells beautiful. I usually on use one pump of this and rub it on my fingertips and then run my fingers through my hair. Ego boost is equally as amazing and is great for tangled hair, I apply two pumps of this through the ends of my towel dried hair before brushing and styling. 

I have recently discovered Lee Stafford's dry shampoo, it is so so good. I usually use batiste dry shampoo but I thought I would give this a go. Unlike batiste the Lee Satfford dry shampoo doesn't leave loads of white powder to rub in. It's great for a quick fix and freshen up. 

Let me know your favourite hair products in the comments as well as any posts you would like to see. I hope you all had a fab week. 

Thanks for the read.

Empties

Hello Lovelies, 

I have finally managed to find time to sit and write a few blog posts. As promised for a few weeks here is my empties post. I hunted around for the things that I have used up and have repurchased and probably will over and over again so here they are. 

There aren't that many things that I repurchase as I like to switch things up quite often. But these lucky 5 I find myself going back. 

1. Soap and Glory the fab pore facial peel. I love this product, it's quite a thick face peel with small blue beads that burst on your skin when you apply. I usually use this mask whilst I'm having a relaxing bath or watching a DVD. When it's washed off my skin always feels smooth and refreshed. All in all a nice product, you may notice that I repurchased this product with my birthday money in my birthday post. 

2. Rimmel Wake Me Up in ivory, I have extremely pale skin that often breaks out and this foundation is so good for covering blemishes and brightening my skin. I think I am now on my 5th bottle of this and love it. However, because it is an illuminating foundation and has a light shimmer to it I have recently been using it less. I will be purchasing this again for the spring and summer months though.  

3.PRO:VOKE Touch of Silver shampoo and conditioner. Because I dye my hair myself and have recently been dying my hair a lighter blonde than usual I have been using purple shampoos. I stared using the John Freida purple shampoo last year and loved it.

A few months ago when money was tight I switched from that to this, as this has a smaller price tag. I can honestly say that this shampoo helps to brighten my hair and dulls any brassiness. One downside to this product is the packaging, it might just be me but when I'm in the shower I like to be able to pick up my shampoo and conditioner quickly, I find it really hard to see the difference between these two bottles at a glance so always end up picking up the wrong bottle. I also find them really hard to squeeze although I am ridiculously weak haha. 

4. Boots coconut and almond leave in conditioner, this stuff is amazing! I can't praise it enough. I have long hair that knots easily when it's wet, probably because I haven't had it cut for over 2 years ooops, but this spray not only smells good enough to eat it helps to untangle my knotted hair as well as making it feel better. I am on my 2nd bottle of this and will definitely be purchasing again. The price is really good as well I think it's under the £2 mark although I'm not 100% sure. 

So there we have it my empties post which I was meant to be posting for the last 3 weeks. I hope that it has lived up to expectations. If you have any comments or questions please ask. 

Thanks for reading.
