Up-coming Products!

Hello Everyone :)

Just wanted to let you know that a ordered some products to help clear up my spots from Amazon, and they arrived this morning!!! I'm soo exited about them and cant wait to try them out :D
I've tried a tun of face-washes and creams that claim to clear up spots and acne, and i guess they work for some people they do, but not me :( I really hope that these are my 'magic' products that will finally work (fingers crossed).
In past i've tried to you things that are natural and that arent going to cause my skin more damage, but none of them worked, so the 2 things i ordered are perscription things: an anti-bacterial face wash and a 5% benzoyl peroxide spot cream.

Used them this morning and they didn't cause any irritation, but of cause its too soon to see if they have made an improvement. Look out for a review soon!!
(btw, i bought these products with my own money)

Hair Routine!

Hello Everyone :)

So this evening i was sat with my laptop, wondering what should be the subject for my next blog post.... and i decieded that my hair routine would be a good choice!! Here it is;

When i first step out of the shower, i spray Schwarzkopf Gliss Liquid Silk Gloss Express Repair Conditioner in my hair, mainly foucusing on the bottom half because i dont want to make my roots greesy by applying too many products! This leave-in conditioner also makes my hair really soft and de-tangles at the same time :)
I then put my hair up in a towel for about 20-30 mins to let it air dry slightly.. but i dont leave it enough to completly dry it, you just want it damp. After this i brush through my hair with a wide-thooth comb, this reduces breakage in my hair because it's gentler ( is that even a word?!?!) than a brush.

Next i apply Avon's Advance Techniques Smoothing Cream all over my hair but not much near the top of my head, i mainly focus it to the middle of my hair . This makes my hair really smooth, adds shine and seals all my fly-aways together! Plus it smells great!
After this i apply 2 pumps of Avon's Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum to the ends of my hair because it mends any dry/spilt ends i have and makes them really soft!

Last but not least i apply a few squirtes of Clairol's Professional Volume Booster Spray to the roots of my hair to give it more volume and body! Then i take a hair dryer and blow dry my roots! i dont blow dry all my hair because i'm currently trying to reduce the heat i use on my hair. :)

Thanks for reading!

Review: Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub!

Hello everyone (:

I picked up the Lush Bubblegim Lip Scrub a few months back, and at first i had mixed feelings about the product but now its a definate fave :) It edible so you can lick it of your lips after which sounds gross i know but it taste's GREAT! Plus its pink! It smells and taste's just like Snow Fairy! ( a popular christmas product Lush make)
The issue i had when i first bought the product was that it left my lips feeling really dry, but after a few uses i worked out that if you apply a good lip balm, like Vaseline, straight after you get perfectly moisurised and exfoliated lips :D
I'd recommend using the scrub about twice a week, but you could do it more/less if you want. It's £4.50 on the Lush webite:

Did i mention that Lush are totally against testing animals?!

Review: Boots Skin Clear Oil-Free Mattifying Lotion! :)

Hello everyone :D

I have been using the Boots Skin Clear Oil-Free Mattifying Lotion for a few years now, and LOVE it!! I normally use it in the morning as a primer because it give you a really nice, smooth surface to apply foundation. If you don't use foundation then it will still be fine for you :)
If you have dry skin (like me) or just need abit more moisture now that winter is here then i would suggest applying your regular moisturiser before, let that sit on the skin for a while and then apply the mattifiying lotion over the top.
A quick tip; allow the lotion to sink into the skin for about 5-10 minutes, otherwise the lotion may start the peel of slightly when you start rubbing it or applying foundation!
It sells for £2.99 on the boots website, but the Skin Clear range regulary has special deals like buy 1 get 1 free or 3 for 2!
