May Favourites

I thought I'd be adventurous and take outdoor photos to celebrate the beginning of Summer! Of course England being England, it's not consistently hot yet, more random sunny days followed by weird hail storms, so I was lucky to get these without being rained on...

I've got quite a few things on my love list for May, read on for mini reviews and links, and of course more daisies!

Eau Roma Water | LUSH

I bought the little version of this a while ago because I read somewhere that Rose and Lavender are good for calming sensitive skin, and it worked so well that I went back and bought the big bottle! It's really nice and gentle, I use it morning and night after I've taken my make up off and it really reduces redness and soothes sensitive skin. I loves it! (Name that reference!)

3 Minute Miracle | Aussie

I stocked up on a few of these when they were on offer for 3 for £10 at Sainsburys, and I forgot how much I LOVE them. This version which is a deep conditioning treatment for dull hair makes my hair sooooo soft! I've got blond-y/brown hair so it doesn't make it mega shiny but it's definitely more sleek and less frizzy naturally when I use this! 

CK One Shock

I remember buying this when it first came out a few years back and it's imprinted itself in my smell memory! It reminds me of summer so I always make sure I save it for sunny days to preserve that nice memory. It's so fresh and floral, if you like that kind of scent, go and have a sniff in boots and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do.

Naked 3

This will be a forever favourite but this month, the shadows I've been loving in particular are Liar and Factory. I love using a wash of Liar with Factory underneath my eye and then  using my brown stila smudge stick. This takes me 2 minutes to do so it's great for everyday work makeup when I'm rushing around trying not to be late!

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist

After using dry shampoo on my hair it tends to get quite dry and damaged, but when I spritz this on the ends it really helps to rehydrate it and make it look more healthy! Its smells lovely and lasts ages because you only need a tiny amount. When I was looking for the link to put above I also found out it can be used on skin as well as hair! 

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs
Now that it's a bit warmer, tights aren't really appropriate any more so I've been forced to bare my pasty white legs! This has been my best buddy, it's so easy to apply and I only use the tiniest bit so it lasts ages! 

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

I have been using this all through May and have definitely seen a difference in my nails, I apply two coats and also apply my Burt's bees cuticle cream and my nails look better than they've ever looked! They do still get flaky occasionally after I've painted them with a colour but after reapplying this, they are strong again. I loves it.

YSL Rouge Pour Couture Rebel Nudes Lipstick in shad 60

I love breaking out the bright lipstick for Summer, and this is one of my all time favourites. It's such a pretty bright pink, with a lovely glossy sheen. The packaging is so luxurious and I just love it.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Coral Tonic

I do sometimes wear orange lip shades in Autumn but I think they look best in Summer! This is a really bright orange which can be applied heavily for a bold look or lightly for a subtle look. I've been wearing it with a bit of bronzer and black liner for a really summery fresh faced look.

So that's all for May! What have you been loving this month?

Hello! How are you?

Not much to report, I've been working away on my dissertation all week. I feel like the representation of female journalists in chick flicks has taken over my life! It's quite nice to sit there watching Devil Wears Prada with a cup of tea and call it work though, it could be worse! This post is all about three products that I've been using on my hair recently that work so well together, that I think this will have to be my routine forever now! (or at least until I see some snazzy new product I want to try...) My hair is in quite good condition nowadays, (It was long when I first dyed it blonde and it was disastrous! But since I had it cut short it's much healthier and thicker) however it can get quite dry due to colouring so I have to make sure I have good protection from heat and something to add moisture to it.

Veganese Hair Conditioner

I've only recently started using this, see my review here, and I LOVE it. I don't think there is anything I've tried from Lush that I didn't like. It's really lovely and light but still makes my hair really soft, and it smells amazing, what more could you want?

Wella Luxe Oil

This is my little luxury treat! It is expensive but really worth it, and I only use one pump for all my hair so it is going to last me a lonnnnggg time. If you've read my review (here) then you'll know I think it smells like Britney Spears Perfume, I rub one pump together in my hands and spread through wet hair, and then add half a pump more to the ends once its dried and styled. I don't tend to use this on the days I don't wash my hair because I don't want to weigh it down but its still soft anyway so I don't feel like I need to.

Tigi S Factor Heat Defence Spray

I've repurchased this twice now and I think I'll always use it. You can see my full review here, it smells lovely, it protects my hair from heat and it gives my hair a lovely shine! I use this any time that I use heat on my hair, so after I've washed it and also if I'm going to straighten or curl it on the day I don't wash it. 

That's all! Hope you enjoyed, do look at the reviews I've linked if you want more information, prices and links to the products :)

What combination of products do you rely on?

Have you tried any of these ones?
