Hair Care Routine

22/11/2015

Hello Everyone!
Happy Sunday,
Do you have anything nice planned for today?

Today I'll be telling you about my hair care routine.
I know some people really go to town with hair care... I am not one of those people.
I only use a couple of hair products and  hair tools.
(Looking at this post on my iPad, the colours of the photos look really yellow? They're fine on my laptop, so just be aware!)

I always use TRESemme shampoos and conditioners as they leave my hair feeling looked after.
The ones I'm using at the moment  are the Perfectly (Un)Done shampoo and the Cleanse & Replenish conditioner. I like to mix up my shampoos  and conditioners sometimes so that my hair doesn't get too used to them and then not be as  effective  (I'm not sure if that's a real thing? but it works for me).
I love this shampoo because it makes me hair feel really deeply washed and so clean.  The conditioner is an old favourite of mine and leaves my hair soft, smooth and  voluminous.

I always brush through my hair before I get in the shower to detangle and then I  shampoo and rinse my hair. I use a wide tooth comb to tame my hair and then  I apply my conditioner. I use a big banana grip to hold it off my neck and let it get to work. While it's absorbing, I wash and rinse my body. After that I rinse the conditioner out and comb through it again. I think a wide tooth comb is  a shower necessity!

I whack my hair up into a towel turban and let it towel dry for about 15 minutes.
Then I spritz my hair with  the Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight spray  and let that absorb for a few minutes.
I wear my hair straight, but my hair likes to dry randomly  - sometimes it'll dry how I like it , other times it'll be slightly wavy or curly - so this serum just helps to try and control my hair!
Once the serum has got to work I spritz my hair  with heat defence spray (which I forgot to take a photo of because I was doing too many things at once!- sorry), I use the TRESemme  Protect Heat  Defence Styling Spray and let that  sink in for a couple of minutes.
To dry my hair, I tip my head upside down and blow dry it  to try and give it some volume.
I use my hair dryer on the strongest setting but on the second hottest heat and then once it's mostly dry I switch to cold air to set the style and give it some shine.
After that I squirt a few pumps of the Superdrug Hair Therapy Oil With Argan into my hand and rub my palms together  and apply it to the ends of my hair. Any excess I'll use to smooth the flyaways.
​I like to think it help restores my hair a bit as I always blow dry it and often straighten it.

That's my hair care routine wrapped up.
Although I like having nice hair,  I'm not really a fan of doing my hair, do you enjoy doing yours?

Huge Superdrug Beauty Haul

8/11/2015

0 Comments

 
 ​Hello  everyone!
Happy Sunday!
​
I had some birthday money to spend so of course  I headed straight to  Superdrug to get my make up fix! The main point of the trip was because all my make up had started to run out at the same time (waah) so I was picking up some of my favourites and  a couple of extras too. So I thought you might like to have a looksie.  Brace yourselves for a lot of photos and a fair bit of text.
Huge Superdrug Beauty Haul
Let's start with the all important skincare; I'm rubbish at remembering  to exfoliate and I never use toner but I always make sure to moisturise every morning and night  and  apply  lip balm without fail.
Garnier Daily Oil-Free Moisturiser
Garnier Daily Oil-Free Moisturiser
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm
Garnier  Daily Oil-Free Moisturiser / Palmer's Lip Balm
I really like this moisturiser as it helps combat my oily skin.  It's a lovely consistency and  it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling smooth. It makes a nice base for make up too.
This is my favourite lip balm and I've been using it for years , its the best one I've used as it leaves my lips soft and well moisturised. I much prefer  a stick lip balm than  a pot  as I don't like applying  it with my fingers.
​On to make up!
L'Oreal True Match Concealer
L'Oreal True Match Concealer
Barry M Radiant Rod Highlighter
Barry M Radiant Rod Highlighter
L'Oreal True Match  Concealer (in Beige) / Barry M Radiant Rod Highlighter
I used to use this concealer a few months ago until I came across the Rimmel 'Lasting Finish' Concealer (Review HERE). I've got a bit bored of using the Lasting Finish so I've gone back to the True Match  as I like the consistency and  the coverage. It also has a doe-foot applicator  which I think is handy for applying under the eyes.
I can't wait to use the  highlighter; to be honest I've been looking for a powder highlighter for a while and I was hoping I'd find one from MUA or Make Up Revolution but I had no such luck in my Superdrug  (I'll keep looking though as I will not be beaten!) but I had a look at the Barry M Radiant Rod Highlighter a while ago,   but  I couldn't resist it this time!  I love the crayon style  as I think it gives more controlled application. 


Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
 Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner by EyeStudio (in Black)
I'm going to start straight away by saying how sad I am that you can no longer purchase the original Maybelline Gel Eyeliner *cries*.  Might have to buy it online in future!  I think the  consistency   is different with this one, the brush is huge and  imprecise  and I never use the smudger.  Never the less I must soldier on, there's really nothing wrong  with this eyeliner, it's a really good eyeliner, I'm just bitter  haha! I love the jet black colour, the consistency is smooth and it lasts for hours; by the end of the  day, my make up may have melted off my face but my eyeliner is still on point.
​
L'Oreal, Maybelline, Collection Mascaras
L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Collection No Clumps Mascara
L'Oreal  Miss Manga Mega  Volume (in Black Angel) / Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara (in  Intense Black) / Collection No Clumps Mascara (in Ultra Black)
I love these mascaras, I always go back to them. If you read my  blog post " How To Achieve Long, Thick Lashes" (HERE) you'll have seen two of these before. 
I love Miss Manga as it adds loads of volume, Lash Sensational is great because it has a spoon-shaped brush and catches every lash and No Clumps is perfect as it has lots of little teeth  so you can really build length and volume  and roll the brush to  get all the product off the brush.
They're my holy grail mascaras and they're excellent on their own and used  together. I literally cannot express how much I love these mascaras!
Lastly is Nail Varnish.

 Collection 7 Day Wear Nail Polish (in 17. Milk Caramel)
I've  been looking for a nude nail varnish for ages now but I never know quite what to choose as nudes vary so much; there's creamy nudes, pinky nudes, browny nudes (said 'nudes' too many times...) etc, but this one stood out to me.  It's a peachy colour and I think it looks very classy.
The consistency  is lovely and it has a pearlescent sheen to it, so it isn't a glossy finish, nor a matte finish and it dries quickly too.  

Hope you enjoyed the haul, let me know if you love/hate any of these products by leaving me a comment!
