L'OREAL Paris Infallible

Okay so I absolutely swear by my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse used it for years and absolutely LOVE it, however I was away in Exeter and went to get my skin matched with my nan and whilst she was at the Clarins counter I spotted this foundation being applied to another woman, it looked so flawless on her skin I just HAD to try it!
I was also running a bit low on foundation anyway so I decided WHY NOT?! Give it a try! So I went and got my skin matched and decided to start trying this foundation, noooowwww, my skin is very dry and needs a lot of moisturising otherwise I get ugly peely offy skin!
So I asked the sales girl what she thought and she suggested I buy L'oreal Studio Secrets Primer.
(I feel like I'm jabbering on a bit here my head isn't really in the right place haha)
So anyway. ^ this is the primer and I've been using that as a base below my foundation for about a month now, I am really liking it actually, I don't think it's better than my Mousse and I will probably be going back to that afterwards because for a cheaper foundation it really is amazing. I will definitely still use the primer though it's really fresh and nice to wear just as a foundation substitute with concealer.

So yeah! It's a positive review but I wouldn't suggest getting this foundation if you have dry skin like me!

P.S. I'm going to be getting round to the reviews I've been asked to do eventually but after my operation I've still not been allowed out! :(

Schwarzkopf BC Oil Miracle

OMG! All I ever do is moan about my hair and how bad the condition is, I suffer really bad with split ends and dry hair!


So I went away down to Exeter and had a beautiful week there and I went to get a treatment on my hair and the stylist used this product, It felt really lovely on my hair but I wasn't sure weather it was just from this oil or from her other products so I decided to just purchase this tiny bottle of oil from the salon to try out at home, It's only 5ml but has last me about a month using it every week or so, you wash your hair as normal then apply a pea sized amount of the oil to your hand and run the oil through your damp hair then blow dry!


From the first use I was in LOVE!!
This is one of my most favourite products!


I'm buying one of the larger bottles because it's so good, if you trust me go ahead and buy a larger bottle if you just want to try it out then buy the 5ml bottle as it does last a long time and only cost me about £3.50 from the salon.
I'm going to leave below a link to the larger bottle on Amazon where I purchase a lot of my items from!!

Please check this product out as it reaaaaally is amazing!!

Apologies

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the large gap in between this blog and the last time I posted there HAS been a reason though, a few infact, I went away for just over and week and I was really poorly when I got back and have had to have an operation, the operation was yesterday so today while I am trying to recover I thought I'd do some reviews for you and try and catch up a bit.


I hope you've all been well, thanks for stopping by!


I've had a lot of emails so I'll try get back to you all soon!

Simple Products

Once again a really bad little collage of products but you get the idea!
Growing up my mum always taught me about the importance of skin care and always told me that less is more in the make-up department otherwise you'll get spots etc and the first products she bought me were some Simple wipes and Toner and Moisturiser.

Now I obviously can chose what skin care range I use but I still use Simple! EVERYDAY.
The wipes are my favourite products I take them everywhere!
My daily skincare routine is 
Wake up use the Simple Daily Gel Wash which really wakes up my skin I love using it!
I have recently started using Clarins Day Cream so I'll review that once I've been using it a few weeks so I can get a feel for it! But I don't use Simple Creams during the day because I feel like they have some work to do so I shouldn't cover it up with foundation!
Then obviously apply my make-up... The day is done I get home and before bed I use my (Just realised I didn't add my Simple Eye Make-Up remover to my edit up there) But yeah I use Simple Eye Make-Up remover round my eyes, then my simple wipes all over my face, I use Toner on a cotton pad then I moisturise.

I'm going to add a pretty long link here to Superdrugs Simple range section for you to purchase these items, I will be buying more when I can and trying them out so let me know if there's any in particular I've already had a few emails for products and I'm super excited to start reviewing them for you all!

Nair Roll On Hair Removal

I brought this roll on wax hair removal just to get rid of the few stray hairs that i get in between my eyebrows it was just a little change from plucking that I was interested in, just something to do at home better than going out to the store and paying 5- 10 pounds a time...
So anyway I got it and ended up VERY disapointed it did not latch on to ANY hairs and didn't remove one single hair it just left my skin in a mess as it only pulled off 60% of the wax that I had applied. 
Now considering I have actually learnt how to wax professionally I can promise you I was doing it properly!
I would not consider buying this wax so I won't provide you with a link!

Still trying to find a home waxing kit that works...

I'll let you know!

TRESemme Products

I'd firstly like to apologise for the poor quality that this collage has come out in!!
Just quickly threw it together as I thought doing all the TRESemme products in together would be better than doing 5 different posts!
My hair is VERY thin and dry most of the time and I suffer with split ends!

Now I use TRESemma Shampoo, Condition, Heat Defence Spray, Mousse and Hairspray!

Shampoo:
I love using this shampoo it makes my hair feel so smooth like I've used a conditioner all over, I have tested how many days I can go without washing my hair using this shampoo as I always feel that's a test you should carry out and I managed to go 4! That was after straightening it once having it down everyday without it looking greasy and up the last day as it was looking a bit greasy on top!
If you suffer with limp hair like me I highly recommend this product as if I wash my hair with this and then blow dry it I get a nice bit of volume on top which is perfect, just what I want!
Conditioner:
Love using this condition can't complain! It hasn't really done anything for my split ends but it doesn't claim to either so if any of you have any treatments you can recommend for split ends that would be AMAZING!
I'm always after new products to try out for my hair!
Heat Defence Spray:
When you blow dry and or straighten your hair with layers sometimes you will get fly away bits throughout especially if you suffer from split ends, this heat defence spray STOP THAT until you wash your hair again, I wash my hair then apply this spray then blow dry and sometimes straighten my hair and it does exactly what it says on the bottle ;)
Mousse:
I am considering changing the mousse actually, I don't use it often but when I do I don't feel like this mousse really works for me however I will say that's because I need quite a firm holding mousse because I have straight hair so I try scrunch dry it sometimes with a large amount of mousse and this mousse just doesn't really help with that I can obviously only speak from experience so I don't know if it would work better on someone with wavy/curly hair.
Hairspray:
Love this hairspray I have both the firm holding one which is black and pink and the more fair holding one which I believe is black and green labelled.
I obviously use the Firm hold when I have hair up as I have a lot of baby hairs that like to fly away and this hairspray holds them in place perfectly then I use the green one after blow drying if I have teased my hair a little just as an all over coverage to hold my hair in place without appearing sticky!

I speak VERY highly of most TRESemme products simply because I think they all do exactly what they say they will do! 
The Shampoo's all have different ranges for Dry hair for Coloured hair and after getting the Shampoo for Coloured hair I honestly have noticed my hair colour becoming more vibrant and even though my hair is currently at a colour I don't like this Shampoo is making me like it as it is making it shiny and giving it volume!

I buy my TRESemma products with out weekly shop at ASDA but it's available in all supermarkets, BOOTS and Superdrug!

Sweet Pea Candle

I found this candle whilst out on a rather boring shopping trip to B&Q, however I can't seem to find it on their website, I got it for £5 and I have managed to find it on Amazon for £4.99 with free delivery (You're welcome).
I currently have this candle burning in my bedroom at 00:40am and the smell it's letting off is amazing, I love candles burning in my room especially ones that let off a lot of scent. It smells a lot like parma-violets I think!

I will definitely be purchasing another one when this one has burnt down but I have a feeling it will last a long time! It comes in a lovely tin which gives me peace of mind because I always worry about wax dripping down onto my furniture etc!
NO WORRIES WITH THIS ONE!


Go ahead and treat yourself if your boyfriend enjoys eating smelly foods like cheesy doritos in your room this is a 
MUST HAVE!
