Tresemme Deep cleansing review!


My hair is flat. As much as I'm grateful for my straight, easy hair; I hate how nothing seems to make it as volumised as I want it to be! ANWAY ... moving on:
Being the summer holidays and all, i've been going out a lot and have had a lot more time to 'work' on my hair, or should I say damage my hair!? There's been backcombing, hairspray, mousse, constant teasing and more backcombing!! This all ended with my hair being greasy, damaged and I just didn't know what to do with it anymore ( I felt so guilty!!) So when my gorgeous sister came home with two industrial sized bottles of 'Tressemme Deep Cleansing' shampoo and conditioner, I was bursting to try them out!! So last night I hopped into my shower and got to work! Straight after I used the shampoo, i felt as though my hair was 'squeaky' clean, I cannot describe the feeling, but it just felt SO clean and to be honest the conditioner felt just like your ordinary conditioner, but it was still good and moisturizing! When I got out the shower, my hair was slightly volumised and just felt SOO clean! I sprayed in a bit of 'Aussie Lushious Long leave in conditioner' and put a bit of volumising mousse in, like I do every time I wash my hair. After I dried my hair it was. SO. SHINY. And felt so refreshed and CLEAN( and was even slightly volumised!) I am in love, I'm planning on buying my own when I've used up the rest of my current shampoo and conditioner!! I definitely, 100% would recommend , and i'm pretty sure it's going to be in my September faves!!
God Bless xoxox

P.S. Would it be worth me taking a picture of my hair after using the product - just to show you how clean it is? Lemme know in the comments :) x

NEW Dainty Doll make-up range!

I'm sure most of you know who Nicola Roberts is, but for those who don't, she is an ex-bandmate of the girlband 'girls aloud'. She's commonly known for being ' the pale one' of the group and has had a lot of sh*t from the media, anyways, enough on that, because today I am going to be blogging about her new make-up range; 'Dainty Doll'
All the bases in the 'Dainty Doll' range are designed for women with pale skin, because she herself has always found it so hard to find a foundation pale enough,hence the name of the foundation.
I know for a fact that lots of you pale beautys out there will be interested to try this out - I know a few of my friends do! However, not the entire range is designed for pale skin types, the range includes blusher, lipstick, eye-shadow and a mascara and eyeliner duo(which I thought sounded rather handy!!) At the moment you can only get the products from 'Harrods', which is a bit of a bummer because the packaging has already won me over!! The range seems quite quirky and very personal, which i really like and the price is actually more than i thought it would be(you can't have it all) But with the price being higher, it's making me think the make-up will be a good quality?
I personally will not be in a rush to try any of these products, but I think anyone who has trouble finding a foundation light enough for you, should definitely check this brand out!!! Anyway heres a few pics, courtesy of google image:

August Faves!

I know, I know, August isn't over yet (thank god!) But I was way to exited to wait to tell you my August favorites, this is going to include things I do own and I do not yet own :)

1. Barry M Nail paints, the colours are absolutely gorgeous and reasonably original and for only £2.95 I could buy them all! ( But I'm not going to because I do have some amount of self control) Other than the colours being great and the price being so inexpensive; I think it's the names that grab me... I'm not sure why though.. anyways here's a lovely list of my favorite shades that I just HAVE to get my hands on! :
Mushroom, Strawberry Ice-cream, Blueberry Ice-cream, navy, grey and i'm in two minds about 'spring green' I recommend you check them out!


2. 'Dove gofresh energising grapefruit and lemongrass scent anti-perspirant deodorant.' (pheww that was a big one!) I love the summery smell of this and the fact that it has 0% alcohol, keeps you dry and smelling delightful for 48hours, contains no trace of parabens AND lets your skin breathe, makes this the best deodrant ever!.. well for me, anyway! I hear the cucumber one smells lovely too- that ones next on my list!

3. LUSH's 'The Soft Coeur" massage bar...OMG the best smell that has ever touched my nose! It keeps my skin sooo soft and smelling gorgeous till I next hop in the shower (or bath) and the fact it has a bit of REAL chocolate in the middle, is just the cherry on top of the cake!
The natural ingredients are : Shea Butter, honey, cocoa powder, almond oil, and sweet wild orange oil - oohh how fancy!
Heres how LUSH explains this amazing little product:

"The honey toffee bar with a soft core. The Soft Coeur was designed for a romantic tryst. It got its name from its chocolate and honey soft centre, which you can melt and smooth all over your lover's body to make him or her extra tasty. It came about after a request for a massage bar with a soft centre, which Helen got to work on straight away."

( I am aware it says to massage it all over your lovers body, but i just rub it on my own body when I get out the shower, as if it were a moisturizer - still just as good!)

4. Rimmel Natural Bronzer - it's cheap, it's cheerful and i use it everyday, its very natural looking and dosen't contain any of shimmer - it's perfect for a summery glow!

5. Sorry, another 'bronzing product' but 'Lee stafford fake my tan instant tanning lotion, wash off, matt finish' is something I wear everyday! I'm not particularly fond of the packaging, but this is just what i need to put on my cheeks and cheekbones everyday to keep me looking NATURALLY sun-kissed throughout the day! It also has Olive not Orange Undertones! ;)

6. DRY SHAMPOO! I've been meaning to pick up some dry shampoo for a while and the other day I popped into 'boots' and picked up 'batiste blush' dry shampoo. This is probably the most popular dry shampoo in the UK and it's pretty in-expensive for £2.1o ( I think! Don't take my word for it!) I have been using this most days now, and it is doing it's job.. however I think next time I'll try the 'original' one, rather than the 'blush' one, because it kind of smells of old lady perfume! I hear tresseme I have one out, but i'll have to do my research on it!

soo yehh, thats my August Favorites, sorry it's a bit boring - my budget was a bit tight this month!!

God Bless xxx
