Everyone needs some Hair Supply!!!

Ok meet the Holy Grail of Hair Masks this is a MUST for everyone!! If you havent tried it then WHY NOT???


I have a 50ml size which came in the Big Thrill, this is available in 200ml at the great price of £6.
I`ve been loving this product ever since my first application, the smell is amazing and I quite often find myself just popping the lid open for my daily fix!!
I even popped this little beautie into my hospital bag when I had my little girl, it was really nice using it and made me feel at home :) especially when you have all those horrible clinical smells!!

This repair mask leaves my hair super shiny and glossy and quite often after I've used it, I get many comments asking if I've recently had my hair dyed. It really brings out the colour of my hair and makes it look lusicously rich!!
The consistency is great too, an ultra-lite gel formula which helps defrizz and hydrates your hair without it feeling heavy or thick, unlike some hair masks on the market.



Soap & Glory say Leave on 60 seconds for a daily smooth, or 3-4 minutes for a more intensive weekly treatment.



Im nearly at the end of this and sooooo happy I have a back up ready!!


Have you tried this?? If not head to Boots/Havery Nichols right away and grab yourself some Hair Supply!!!

My shopping spree!!!


Well yesterday evening, my close friend and I went on a spree!! This is a sneaky pic of everything I got...


Heres all my makeup freebies & purchases :)


First off we visited the Bare Minerals counter where the lady matched us both up and gave us samples of 2 colours. She said I was inbetween Fair & Fairly Light. She only had samples of the Fairly Light BUT she kindly made up a small pot of the Light for me.



I have to say my intial judgement is thats Im not won over by the mineral foundation. I did have to take ALL my face makeup off for her to match me up and so I could really see the look it creates.
Next we popped into Boots where we both got our free sample of Lancomes Teint Miracle. I was macthed to shade 2 , I must admit at first I thought the pot was so small!! But after using it this morning and seeing the cute little spatula inside the lid I was pleasantly suprised, you dont need alot!!



I then visited the L`oreal counter so I could finally pick up their Renewal Lash Serum, and they are currently giving a free gift when you spend £15+ so I picked up one of their Contour Khols in Golden Green the colour is so pretty and ideal for the autumn. Here is a pic of their free gift and the goodies inside...

I think the gift is very good and I can honestly say i will look forward to using every product :)

Next stop was the No7 counter where I used both of my £5 off vouchers and I bought another 2 eye liners!!! Ok I think I was on an eyeliner mission BUT I have to say I was in need of some new colours and now I have a nice selection!! Especially seeings the L`oreal gift contains a Contour Khol in Dark Chocolate.

Anyway meet Blue Grey & Gold... It was love at first sight. The Gold is a Metallic eyes pencil and felt so soft when I swatched it on my hand. Blue Grey is from their Amazing Eyes range and has a sponge tip applicator on the opposite end. This is also very soft and you can see a very slight shimmer to it in the light. Both only cost £2.50 each after using my voucher.


I got another No7 voucher after spending £15 on L`oreal, ha ha think I will get a lipstick with that one.

We then popped into Zara so I could test their fragrance, after reading on Darling Hearts blog about this being a daupe for Chanels Chance.

At first I didnt like it but once it settled down on my hand it smelt lovely, but think I need to give it another go. Has anyone else tried this?? What did you think??



I did however spot a bargain! A casual 3/4 length black studded top. It was £14.99 reduced to £3.99!!!!!!! Perfect for the chilly weather arriving soon no doubt!!

Then I bought a few bits from good old Primark.....


I wanted a cheap Self-Tan mitt for my St Moriz as it stains my hands terrible!! Saw this cute little alice band for £1.50!!


I saw these really cute Jewellery items and all for £4.50!! The ring is a Bunny with black crystal eyes, when I saw it I thought it looked like something Accessorize would do, quirky looking!! The birdcage necklace is nice and long whereas the bow necklace is shorter.

If anyone would like swatches please comment below :)

Who`s the fairest of them all?

Look what the postie brought me yesterday!!! I didnt get this till later on in the afternoon because I was out all day.
I have been longing for this lipstick for months now since I read about it on numerous beauty blogs, I had to have one lol.
I searched everywhere as this particular colour is not available here in the UK :( dont you just hate it when that happens!!!
Eventually I found an Ebay seller with 2 for $7.95 (£5.14) what a bargain!! Thats for 2 of the beauties!! International postage was $6.95 so all in I only paid £ 9.64.


Well I have to say Im soooo happy and impressed with the colour and the staying power of this lipstick, I`m glad I got 2!!

It`s perfect with my skintone, a nice soft pinky nude :)

Heres a close up with flash!


Has anyone else tried this Lipstick?? If not YOU really should :)

Hand Cream :)

Ok do you have a favourite which you re-purchase?? Or do you just pick up what evers around or on offer??

WELL..... meet my favourite hand cream of all time Body Shops Hemp Hand protector. It comes in 2 sizes 30ml £5 and then 100ml £10 which is what I have normally as its such good value and the product is amazing!! This is my 2nd tube and it wont be long before I need to get another. The 30ml is perfect for your handbag though :)


The Body Shop says...

Hemp seed oil - Has an unusually high concentration of essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin's moisture barrier thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness. Allantoin - Helps to relieve and soothe dry skin. Panthenol - Is proven to improve flexibility of the nails, helping to reduce flaking and breakage.

Heres some others which I have been testing and giving a chance...lol :) But NONE come close to Body Shops Hemp Hand protector.


Ok first up is Organic Surge Tight Fisted this smells lovely and contains Orange Blossom & Lemon. BUT I feel it leaves my hands feeling greasy for a little while after :( 100ml £3.99.

Second up is Body Shops Hemp hand protector which you already know I love, this does have a particular smell to it but you get use to it, its because of the ingredients :) Its also one of their Bestsellers.

Third up we have Soap & Glorys Hand Food which is my 2nd fav. It comes in two sizes and both at great prices, 50ml £ 2.25 or 125ml £4.50. I love the typical S&G smell, it doesnt leave my hands greasy and my skin feels great afterwards but I still think the Hemp Hand protector gives your hands something extra. Especially if you had a job which exposed your hands to extra work like building, factory work, gardener or a cook :)

And lastly we have Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Hand cream spf15, the smell for me is neither here nor there not sure what its meant to smell of mind you but it does have an spf15 whereas non of the others have. This is more of a treatment for age spots/fine lines I think which is similar to the Hemp Hand protector. In the sense that they both gives the hands a treatment aswell as being your everyday hand cream. In my opinnion it does what it says but for me its nothing special.
