Beauty buys!

Hey guys!

I picked up a few things at Boots today so I thought I'd show you what I picked up. I desperately needed a new foundation but I didn't want something I'd had before and No 7 is a brand I haven't tried a lot of so as I was browsing through the aisle I saw the instant radiance foundation, dabbed a small amount of the tester on my hand and picked it up straight away, the finish looked gorgeous. 

I also saw somebody using the Bourjois volume 1 seconde mascara and I wanted to pick it up so I bit the bullet today and decided to get it but I picked up the ultra black version. The brush is plastic which is what I don't normally like but it does look interesting and I wanted to try it out. 

My last purchase was the Yes to Carrots rich moisture day cream. I had a sample of this and loved it but  I couldn't find it anywhere so of course when I came across it I had to get it. It's such a gorgeous moisturiser which I'll definitely have to do a post on. 

Have you picked up any beauty bits lately?

Need to recover hungover hair? Avon conditioning balm review.

Hello guys!

My hair has been wrecked basically and anything that will even slightly repair it, I'm on it. I've bleached my hair numerous times, dyed it, used loads of heat, I really should stop... But one thing I've been using recently is this avon naturals conditioning balm. It contains almond oil and avocado. I couldn't find any exact instructions on how to use it, so I apply it after shampooing and I leave it on for between 2-5 minutes depending on how much of a rush I'm in. The packaging is ok, cream coloured pot with a screw off lid.

The texture is quite odd, it's slightly lumpy and looks a bit like melted marshmallow. The almond oil really comes through in the scent, it's quite sweet but it doesn't leave any scent on my hair. It leaves my hair feeling really soft and silky.  I wouldn't say it's the best conditioner I have ever used but for the £1.50 for 250ml I paid it's great. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the ordering process with Avon. I hate that you can't go into a shop and just buy it. It took me a month to get hold of the Avon stuff I had purchased whether that is because of the lady I ordered them through or the lengthy time Avon take to deliver I'm not sure, but it is a pain. But to end the post on a happier note I do enjoy using this product, and I'm eager to see what other products work as well from Avon.

P.s I will be holding a giveaway pretty soon, so follow to keep up to date on that!
