A few purchases from superdrug :)

Hi Ladies,

I picked up a couple of things from superdrug I thought I would show you, I went in for a bottle of water but as ever managed to pick up a few ''essentials'' while I was there - doh!

I absolutely love batiste (for the record the blonde and diva versions are my faves!) so I had to try their new XXL volume dry shampoo. I have only used this once so far and I have to say I didn't like it as much as the other versions of batiste I have used, it left my hair feeling quite stiff and heavy. Nevertheless I am not giving up on this just yet, and will let you know how I get on with it :)

If you have been following my blog for a while you will know that I love the sheer blonde gleam creme, I have used this product since I was about 15 and I always have a tube of it in my handbag and another on my dressing table. I distribute a pea sized amount through the ends of my hair if they are feeling dry and a little throughout my hair to tame any flyaway's. This is one of my all time favourite products.

Any finally...very exciting face wipes! The garnier fresh essentials are my favourites, and I love the other products from the fresh range too - especially the moisturiser which is a bargain!

and thats everything, have a great week and speak soon!

February Ins and Outs :-)

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would try and do an ins and outs post once a month, so as we are getting towards the end of Feb (yikes!) I thought I would get the ball rolling :)

In

My Birthday - Its my birthday next month - yippeee! I have no idea what I would like so I'm hoping for a few suprises, I'm looking forward to having a nice meal with family and friends and lots of yummy birthday cake!

Baking - I have really got the baking bug lately, I've baked something different every weekend for the past five weeks, the best (as voted by family and friends!) have been cupcakes and mars bar crispie (amazing!). I use this recipe for my mars bar crispie and it is delicious, I am absolutely in love with this website at the moment - It has loads of fabulous sweet and savory recipe's which are super yummy and easy to follow :)

Sheer Blonde healthy attitude spray - I am really happy with the condition of my hair at the moment, and one of the product which I think I need to thank is this leave in nourishing spray. I have had this for yonks and have used it intermittently, but after having a look at the ridiculous amount of hair products I have, I decided it was time to start properly using them up and this one was first in the pile. I spray it liberally all over my hair after washing and then blow dry it. It leaves my hair feeling soft and silky and the ends seem not to dry out as quickly as they used to.

Primark - I went to primark the other day and picked up some great bits and bobs without spending too many pennies, watch out for a post on them soon :)

Holidays - My summer holiday is booked and I can't wait! I'm already looking out for nice holiday clothes :) we're going in August this year so I've got a little longer to wait, but hopefully it will be worth it.

Out

So much to do so little time! - This is a how I feel at the moment, There just doesn't seem to be enough minutes in the day for me to get everything I need to do done! I'm going to concentrate on trying to get as much done as possible this week then reward myself with a super lazy weekend (fingers crossed!).

And thats everything :) I hope you have a lovely week,

Haircare Favourites :)

Hi Ladies! :)

I am forever on the hunt for my new haircare holy grail, and if I am ever going to be tempted into buying something I don't need it is more often than not to do with my hair! Who can resist a something which claims to make your hair shinier, healthier and thicker?! Not me apparently! Anway enough waffling! Aside from all my frivolous haircare purchases there are some products which are staples in my haircare routine, and I thought I would share them with you :)


1. CHI Silk Infusion - I love this product! I use a teeny tiny amount on the very ends of my hair after towel drying and it leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth and glossy. The best thing about it is that as you use such a small amount at a time it lasts for ages!

2. Mark Hill Heat Protection Spray - I have tried allsorts of different heat protecting sprays/serums/creams and this is the best I have come across. It is really lightweight and doesn't leave your hair feeling heavy with product. It has a light scent which isn't overpowering and it works really well on damp and dry hair - excellent!

3. Sheer Blonde Healthy Attitude Leave-in Nourishing Spray - This another great lightweight product which has the added bonus of a heat shield. I spray this generously all over my hair before I dry it and I find it leaves my hair feeling healthy and soft.

4. Loreal Elnett Hairspray - This is the limited edition Cheryl Cole version (Cheryl Cole + a pretty bottle - who can resist?!). For me, Elnett is the best hairspray on the market, it has incredible hold, doesn't leave my hair feeling dry or crispy and brushes out easily at the end of the night.

5. Sheer Blonde Gleam Creme - Another favourite sheer blonde product, I always have atleast two of these on the go at once - one in my room and one in my handbag! If the ends of my hair are ever feeling dry, I smooth a pea sized amount of this through and they instantly feel soft and nourished.

6. Insette Volumising Hair Mousse - This is a total bargain at less than a pound! I often use it to add a little bit of volume to my roots or to help my curls stay put and unlike some hair mousses it doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky or greasy.

and thats everything! Let me know what some of your favourite haircare products are :)
