GARNIER- Ultimate blends first impressions!

Hey guys!

Browsing the aisles of Tesco I came across Garnier's new ultimate blends range. I decided to pick up 'The sleek restorer' shampoo and conditioner which promises super-sleek smoothness. Being somebody who has very damaged, bleached hair this sounded good to me! They both also contain coconut oil and cocoa butter. So the night after I bought them I jumped in the shower lathered the shampoo into my hair and rinsed it off, I then put the conditioner on and left it on for around a minute (it's hard to judge the time when your in the shower…) and washed it out. And I have to be honest and say I was definitely impressed with the results. I don't want to write a full review since I've only used them twice but so far I'm pretty keen!

I'll pop back in another few washes and let you know exactly what I think of them!
Hope you enjoyed this quick post! Let me know if any of you guys have tried anything from this range.

The Colossal GO EXTREME VOLUM' Mascara Review!

Hey guys!

Maybelline's The colossal mascara is my all time favourite so when they release a mascara in the same range I HAVE to try it! So they've released the Colossal GO EXTREME VOLUM'! and I've given it a good testing. I love the original colossal mascara because the brush is ideal, the bristles are a good length and a great shape, having relatively small eyes I find it hard not to get mascara all over my eyelids but like the original this baby is doing a great job at sticking to my lashes and not all over my face! The brush is definitely one I've seen before but I like it, it's rounded a bit like a rugby ball. The wand is an extreme volume double wand, in all honesty I haven't really noticed a difference with the wand except for it being slightly more flexible. The colour is a deep enough black for me, I wouldn't say its the darkest (even though it is called very black) but it works well for my complexion.

                                       

The packaging is yellow with shiny pink writing on it- makes it so easy to find in my bag! I have noticed a tiny bit of flaking from this mascara but mainly when I try to re-apply a bit on top if I decided I wanted more after it had drying which happens with nearly every mascara. It lasts well throughout the day but is relatively easy to take off, I don't end up scrubbing my eyelashes at night. I much prefer this version to some of the others in the range. Overall I would say it's my second favourite Maybelline mascara next to the original colossal mascara. I would rate it at 8.5/10. I would definitely pick it up again! You can get it here. P.s for those who like waterproof mascara's you can also pick it up in a waterproof version too!

Have you tried this mascara? Let me know what you think!

Flake off! Korres fig body scrub.

After using up all of my Sanctuary hot body polish (which I love and have featured here) I decided I'd try something different. I picked this up in T.K Maxx for £2 which was super cheap! I think they're between £10-£14 normally. It claims- to effectively remove dead cells and improves microcirculation. It has 90.6% natural content. The exfoliating grains are naturally derived. It has no parabens, no silicones and no phthalates. You also get 150ml! One thing that I'm pretty picky with is scent. If a product smells horrible I find it super hard to use or get over. This luckily doesn't smell too bad, I wouldn't say it necessarily smells like fig, but it is sweet and 'earthy' if you get what I mean? haha. It's full of exfoliating beads, which really help scrub of any flaky, dry, dead skin. I'd say it's quite harsh but I prefer that to exfoliators where the beads barely exist. I mainly use this all over my body but I have used this on my face when I've felt I really needed it, it didn't break me out and was fine. I do like this product and probably would buy it again, it does the job and that's what you want from an exfoliator right? You can get it here.

Fed up of expensive trips to the salon? Check out Primark's fake nails!

Hey guys!

I am one of the worst people ever at painting my nails, and then picking it all off as soon as I'm nervous. Fake nails are a life saver! A few weeks ago I picked up the polka- dot ones from Primark and thought I'd give 'em a go. The sizes are perfect for my nails, a few of the sizes fit my nails, so I could use the set more than once. Last week I also bought the ladybird ones, which are super cute! They're both the same quality, which is pretty good quality fairplay. I don't use the glue that comes with them, because I use my nailene glue on all of my fake nails. The glue costs around £2.50 and you can get it from Boots, Superdrug or Tesco, and loads of other places probably do it too though. They don't snap easily and last me up to a week before I change them, they'd probably last longer but I'm so fussy. Each pack of nails costs £1. I really recommend picking some up! They have loads of different prints. Ones I've seen lately include cheetah print, red and white polka- dot, and french manicure.
