My Very Little Beauty Haul ♥

hellooooooooo.

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, I just thought I would Share with you my new little beauty buys nothing amazingly exciting but new products none the less :)

 

 

'Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner' £6.99 Each.

Okay so I have always been quite a snob when it came to products I used in my hair but with good reason after my complete hair disaster. (if you missed that post find it here) I have been a slave to Kerastase 'Bain De Resistance' Shampoo and conditioner for the last year or so but as amazing as it is it comes with a very hefty price tag and would cost me well over £30 when I repurchased both 'gulp'. Now my hair is back in good condition I thought I might start looking for more affordable shampoo's and conditioner's also its always good to have a mix up so your hair doesn't become used to a product and therefore the product stops doing its job. Anyways I came across the brand Organix in Tesco I have seen this Brand a few times in lots of different shops but never had a proper look, I really liked the sound of them and as im loving my actual 'Moroccanoil' of late I thought I would give these a whirl so I shall let you know how I get on.  "A unique, precious blend of Moroccan Argan Oil which helps to instantly penetrate the hair shaft restoring shine and softness while helping to strengthen and protect hair from harmful heat styling and UV damage and create soft seductive, silky perfection" sounds promising!!

 

'Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Serum' £6.99

Lucky for me it was 3for2 in Tesco over all hair care so I picked up this little beauty as well, I really loved the sound of this and im a sucker for a hair treatment so again I shall let you know how I get on with this. Also its Coconut my most favourite scent ever and also coconut is great for hair so I have high hopes. "Indulge your senses with this exclusive blend of coconut milk to help nourish your hair while ultra whipped egg white proteins help add strength and elasticity, along with weightless coconut oils for added hydration and balance"

 

'Garnier Moisture Match Ultra Hydrating Rich Cream For Dry skin' £5.99

I have recently been on the hunt for a new moisturiser, I have been using Clinique's Dramatically Different moisturiser for a while, I like it but I don't think its that amazing and its also on the pricey side so for me not to be 100% on it isn't ideal. I have seen the new Garnier moisturisers advertised in allllllll my magazines and actually received a tester sachet in Cosmo of the Illuminating one but I have very dry skin so unfortunately that one was no good for my skin. Il see how I get on with this as I have mentioned before my skin is very temperamental and doesn't take to kindly to change so hopefully I wont break out in a million spots.

 

Have you used any of these products? If so what did you think? Or can you recommend any good products for me to try? Please leave your comments I always read and reply to them, thank you for reading.

 

Lots Of Love

Moroccanoil ♥

I have been reading post after post after post on Moroccanoil it seems everybody is using it and not one person has anything bad to say about it, so being the beauty junkie I am I just had to go and buy some.
I only brought some last weekend so I have only used it a few times, I will do a full review when I have been using it for at least 6 weeks This is just a little informative post on the product for the time being :)

Product info:
Taken from the Moroccanoil website: "Moroccanoil® Treatment’s versatile, nourishing and residue-free formula can be used as a conditioning, styling and finishing tool. It blends perfectly with other products and even speeds up drying time. This treatment for hair completely transforms and repairs as its formula transports lost proteins for strength; fatty acids, omega-3 oils and vitamins for shine; and antioxidants for protection. It absorbs instantly to fill gaps in hair created by heat, styling and environmental damage."

Price: £30.45

Bottle and Packaging:

 

I really love the packaging and bottle its so eye-catching, also the fact that it actually came with a pump is really handy, the price is quite steep but I am hoping it will be worth the money :)

like I said a full review will be coming soon so stay tuned but I must say the few times I have used it I have absolutely loved it!!!

 

Have you used Moroccanoil before? what did you think? leave me a comment I always read and reply to all my comments :)

 

loads of love

My absolute favourite hair saviours ♥

Through the years my hair has played victim to a fair amount of abuse.
My hair is naturally thick, curly, friztastic and quite unruly so as you can Imagine I have been the straightening irons number one fan from a young age.
I had always been very lucky with my hair it was always long, thick and in fairly good condition except a few spilt ends here and there.
My natural hair colour is a dark golden blonde and when I was about 19 I decided I wanted platinum blonde hair, surprisingly my hair took quite well to the change it carried on growing and remained thick and healthy.
A few years on I grew tired of the constant upkeep 'Barbie blonde hair' needs so I asked my hairdresser to take my hair back to its natural colour, I loved it at first and then a few months on I started to feel boring and surprise surprise I wanted the Barbie locks back again (uhhh ohhh).
Off to the hairdressers I went, as soon as those foils came out so did half of my hair!!! I was heartbroken, it continued to snap off for weeks after, I had gone from my hair resting just above my rib cage to it being above my shoulders and SO thin :( I cried for weeks, I also had horrible short little tufts sticking up left right and centre, it was a disaster!!
I tried all your typical drug store hair repair products but nothing seemed to help my 'beyond help hair', however with LOTS of online research these are the products I found which I can safely say saved my hair!

REDKEN EXTREME ANTI-SNAP 250ML £14.30:

Anti-snap provides heat protection, reduces friction from brushing and helps prevent breakage and spilt ends. It helps restore the lipid layer of protection and resurfaces the cuticle.

You apply Anti-Snap to the fragile and damaged areas of the hair, I personally work it all through my hair and then apply extra to the more damaged areas for example the hair that frames my face.

REDKEN EXTREME STRENGTH BUILDER FORTIFYING MASK, 250ML £17.65:

I use this as a weekly intensive treatment, after i have shampooed my hair i apply this to towel dried hair and leave it for 15 minutes and rinse, you must follow with a conditioner as it may leave your hair feeling a little brittle if you don't.

I love the results this gives my hair it always looks healthy and full of shine :)

 

REDKEN EXTREME CAT PROTEIN RECONSTRUCTING TREATMENT 150ML £14.30

If your hair is very damaged Redken recommend you use this up to 3 times a week its really convenient to use as once I have shampooed my hair I just squeeze out the excess water out and spray CAT all over i normally do a good 10 sprays and massage it in. I leave it for 3-5 minutes (recommended time) and then rinse and follow with a conditioner. This product adds intense reinforcement and you can really see a difference after just one use, this really is a 5* product if you were going to try one i would recommend this one, the only downside is you use it up quite quickly.

 

KERASTASE RESISTANCE CIMENT THERMIQUE HEAT ACTIVATED RECONSTRUCTOR MILK 125ML £15.12:

This product is really clever as it is activated by heat so therefore it will carry on working even after up to 2 washes although i use it every time i wash my hair. It protects hair from the stress of heat styling and adds visible shine, it can be layered with any other styling products you use (i use quite a few lol) I apply a blob to this on towel dried hair comb through and style as usual :)

 

COCONUT OIL FROM HOLLAND AND BARRETT 453G £14.99: This really is a little gem of a product and its all natural so no hidden nasties what so ever!! I use it as an intensive treatment about twice a month i should probably use it more but its quite time consuming. I apply to dry hair and really cake it on, the product melts really fast in your hand or you can melt a chunk in the microwave and then apply it as a hot oil. I put it in early evening and leave it on for about 5 hours you can leave it on over night also. Every time i use this i always get a hair complement, it completely eliminates frizz and leaves hair super soft and shiny!! I also use this as a body moisturiser it works a treat and leaves skin so soft for days :)

 

 

Okay so those were my 5 little miracle products i know they are a little on the pricey side but they really are worth it!!

 

MY HAIR ROUTINE:

Shampoo hair

Apply Redken CAT

Leave for 5 mins and rinse

Condition hair

Towel dry hair

Apply Kerastase heat activated reconstructor milk

Comb through

Apply Redken Anti-Snap

Style as usual

:)

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my post I really hope this has helped please feel free to comment with questions or advice on any other products. Have you had the same problem as me if so what products did you use???

 I read and reply to all my comments :)

 

Lastly just so you know I'm not exaggerating here is a before and after picture of me, in the 'after' photo I had had my hair trimmed so it was all one length after it all snapped off but it gives you an idea of the amount of length I lost :(
