July Favourites! (a little late)

Hi Ladies,

Sorry this is a little late, I've been mega busy this week, and I never seem to get round to doing my monthy favourites even though they're one of my favourite posts to read! I have found quite a few new products I really like the past month or so, so here are my super July faves :)

It was actually started raining while I was taking these photo's (can you tell!) once I got inside it progressed into a full blown storm, I can't believe its the middle of summer! anyway onto the favourites!

I always have one of these little Carex hand gels in my handbag. The grapefruit and lime refreshing aroma gel is my favourite, people have actually asked me what perfume I'm wearing after I've used it!

The two nail polishes I have been reaching for the most this summer have been BarryM's Pink Flamingo which is quite possibly my all time favourite BarryM nail paint and Rimmels 10 day nail colour in Cafe Au Lait. Cafe au lait is a really great nude nail varnish, it is perfect for work and I find it lasts really well. I always like the way my nails look when I wear this colour.

Batiste dry shampoo in blonde is by far my top dry shampoo, it blends really well with my hair colour and I love the scent.

I've been really impressed with the Schwarzkopt got2b guardian angel heat protection spray which I bought earlier this month. Unlike some heat protectants it doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy or sticky. Its very light, smells lovely and leaves my hair feeling smooth and sleek. I love the packaging too!

The Me Me Me Blush Me blush in coral has definitely been my most reached for blush this July. Its a really pretty wearable coral with a fine shimmering finish which gives a lovely glow. This has satisfied my lust for Benefit's Coralista (for now!).

And finally MAC's Pink Plaid lipstick, has not left my handbag since I bought it. It is a matt finish which I don't normally go for, but for me it is a fab wearable pink with great staying power.

and thats everything :) let my know what your favourite have been the past month, and have a fabulous August!

Product Rave: Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Shampoo

Hi Ladies! So I'm finally back with a super massive product rave, and it is the schwarzkopf gliss hair repair shampoo. I saw this in my local pharmacy, and was attracted to it as it contains argan oil which seems to be the current hype for hair care. If you havn't heard about argan oil before it is a natural oil derived from the argan tree which is believed replenish and strengthen damaged hair. Although I no longer colour my hair, it is pretty long and breaks quite easily, with the colder weather on its way i have been looking for a nourishing hair repair shampoo so was really pleased to come across this! So here is the shampoo (my 2nd bottle!) pictured below:

I have never tried anything from the GLISS range before, however I can remember once reading that Rachel Stevens uses the GLISS shine tonic (and doesn't she have lovely hair!) so when I saw this on the shelf for £1.99 I definately thought it was worth a try!

It is described on the bottle as an anti split end shampoo which repairs inside the hair cell. The blub on the back says ''because the gliss cell repair system contains proteins that are identical to the hair itself , it is able to repair the hair from deep inside'' (sounds pretty good eh!)

After about two weeks of using this shampoo daily I have to say I am really impressed, I'm usually a bit of a snob when it comes to hair care and although I definately have my holy grail conditioner (tigi catwalk fashionista) I have never found a shampoo which quite matched up to it. This shampoo leaves my hair feeling soft and silky and tangle free, although I'm not sure whether I have fewer split ends I have definately noticed a difference in the strength of my hair - I have less breakage when I brush it, and my ends feel more nourished and a lot less dry!

I can definately recommend it for someone who would like to try a hair repair shampoo without a salon product budget - I'm defiantely going to give the conditioner a try too so i'll let you know how I get on with it!

Hope you're all well, have a fantastic weekend!
