Beauty Haul ♥


Hello Lovelies, Tonights post is on my recent little beauty splurge enjoy. 


First up we have Loreal True Match foundation in the shade W3 Golden Beige which I brought from Boots for £9.99. Now I wont lie I love my foundations I think there is nothing better than a flawless base, I always tend to keep them quite high end NARS sheer glow being one of my favourites (see full review here) However every time I watch a You Tube tutorial more often than not the girls are using this foundation and they swear by it, it always looks so good on them so curiosity got the better of me and I had to purchase some. I am actually pleasantly surprised at how much I like this foundation it gives a nice coverage I would say medium but most definitely build-able for a full coverage and do you not what it's staying power isn't all that bad either, I always use a primer before I apply any foundation but i honestly thought this would go patchy by about 10am even with primer but it really doesn't and it does a good job of sticking around, I do a 12 hour day and at the end of my day the only places it had gone patchy was on my cheeks a little and chin I never reapply my make up at work as I work with kids so theres no point but I think thats pretty good going for a drug store foundation that was under £10 (just). The finish of this foundation is matte.


Next up we have the much raved about Bourjois Bronzing Primer which was £9.99 from Superdrug, eeeeeek I have wanted this for ages but it has always been sold out so I was very happy when I nabbed one the other day. I must admit when I first saw this in the shops I was like what the hell....To me it looked really dark and a bit scary but when I applied some to my hand I loved how well it blended and how flawless it appeared it's not scary once blended. Phew. It has an amazing chocolate scent so whats not to love about that. I have been applying this under my foundation and I have been loving the natural golden glow it gives off, I have seen some others using it as a bronzer or contour above foundation but I am yet to try it this way. I must say I don't use this as a primer alone I still apply a little of my Benefit Porefessional before hand and then go in with this.


Now we have the ever so famous Baby Lips by Maybelline in Pink Punch £2.99 from Boots, when I was in America I saw these on every shelf in every shop and I could kick myself for not stocking up and bringing them all home as I knew the Uk were raving about them and couldn't wait for them to be launched, however as they are only £2.99 I don't feel to sad. These surprisingly give quite a pigmented colour to the lips I was quite shocked when I applied it in a good way obviously. Pink Punch appears on the lips as a baby pink my favourite kind of pink and they do make your lips feel really moisturised when on, very happy I finally purchased one of these and will most definitely keep my eyes peeled for other shades.


Last up we have one of my holy grails Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment £7.99 from Boots, this is my third tub I love it that much, I actually did a full review on this not that long ago so check that out here. All I will say is that if you have that annoying hair that doesn't like to grow then try this its done wonders for my hair :)

Have you tried any of these products? Let me know your thoughts I always read and reply to my comments so be sure to check back if you ask me something specific. as always thank you for reading girls. Mwah.

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment ♥

 
Hello Lovelies.
I Hope your all well and enjoying this gorgeous weather. This evenings post is on the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment its actually named 'For Hair that Never Grows Past A Certain Length' but that's very long winded so lets stick with hair growth treatment. So last month me and a friend were in Boots and we saw this product, Lee Stafford products always stand out to me because well if you didn't guess there pink amazing. Anyways so we saw this and had a read through what it promised and liked what we saw so we both purchased a tub.
 
 
Product Info:
'Hair Growth Treatment with Pro-Growth Complex for strength within, a protein based complex to fertilize your follicles creating a healthy environment on the scalp to help hair grow faster and reach maximum potential length' .
 
 
Now I don't know about you but I am a sucker for anything which claims to help my hair grow and with a clever name like this product girls will pick this up all day long even though deep down we have our doubts about if it will ACTUALLY help our hair grow. Its a 200ml tub and costs £7.99 from Boots, you are advised to use an egg (yes egg???) sized amount on your hair after you have shampooed and then your to leave it for 5 minutes wash off and condition as usual, it smells lovely like all the Lee Stafford Products and is slightly pink in colour.
 
 
My Thoughts:
So I was itching to start using this even though in the back of my mind I was like this is never going to work in a million years. After the first use I was pleasantly surprised my hair felt and looked amazing, really shiny, frizz free and full of life, result. I like. When you apply the product it feels quite heavy and thick on the hair so I was a bit worried it would make my hair greasy but it didn't at all, after a few more uses I really started seeing a difference in my hair it was healthier and much thicker and by the end of my first tub I had noticed a bit of length wahooooo, now im not saying I woke up looking like Rapunzel that would of been fab but we defiantly have some growth coming along and a few people have even said to me my hairs grown yaaaaay. My friend who also brought this has been using it regularly and her hairs looking lovely and healthy too (we both had slightly colour/heat damaged blonde hair). I am now on my second tub and absolutely loving it, this product has fast become my holy grail and will have a firm place in my hair routine for a long time :)
One tub lasts me about a month maybe just under as using an egg sized amount every time is quite a lot but I don't think £7.99 is that bad compared to other hair treatments I have owned also boots more often than not have offers on so that's a good chance to stock up.
 
Have you used this before? If not what are your top products or tips for healthy hair and growth I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave me a comment :)
Thank you for reading  Mwah.
