Because, well - Who doesn't love travel size!

Hi Ladies,

So as you know from my last post, I've just come back from my holiday in New York, and I thought I would share with you the cute little travel size products I took with me! I normally steer clear of travel size products, and in the run up to my holidays will put aside shampoo's and conditioners etc when they get about half empty (I will never understand why travel size products are often twice the price of their full size counterparts?!) But for some reason, when picking up some last minute bits and bobs a few days before my flight, I found myself lured in by the cuteness of these teenie weenie bottles and before I knew it, I was in the queue for the tills with a collection of them in my basket - Oops!


I love soap and glorys clean on me shower gel, its smells amazing, is really creamy, luxurious and suprisingly quite moisturising. I have used this in full size before as its been bought for me a couple of times in christmas/birthday gift sets but I'm reluctant to buy it as my daily shower gel as it costs around £5.00 which for me is a little pricey! I'm definitely going to watching out for any offers on soap and glory in boots though :)

Although I have used some aussie products before I had never tried the miracle moist shampoo and conditioner, so this was the perfect opportunity to give them both a try. The miracle moist range is formulated for dry damaged hair and contains queensland macadamia nut which is supposed to help condition and smooth the hair. Like other aussie products these both smell divine, sometimes I find hair products which focus on adding moisture to your hair can leave it feeling really lank and heavy but with these it was completely the opposite - bouncy, light and fresh!

and finally, that product which I just can't stop talking about - Superdrugs dry shampoo, this time in the scent head in the clouds. Again, I really love the smell of this product and I really like the fact that is sprays completely clear. However I would still reach for my trusty batiste diva when my hair needed a serious refresh as I do not find the superdrug version to be as good at absorbing the oil from my hair (something which I noticed more with this travel size version). I still have some of the full size version of this product left and I think I will definitely repurchase it - it is great for a light refresh, or adding a bit of extra volume but I'll keep a bottle of batiste on standby for those very bad hair days!

I still have quite a bit left in all of these, and I have one more mini holiday left this summer - to the most spectacularly magical place in the whole of Europe - can you guess where!? So they will be jetting off with me one last time. However I'm not sure if I'll be splashing out on travel size products next year - we'll see!

Do you buy travel size products before you go on holiday?

Soap and glory winners and losers! :-)

Hi Ladies,

So like many me (and my sister!) were very lucky girls this christmas and both got the soap and glory hatbox in our stockings. I've tried out almost everything in the hatbox now and have been using quite a few things on a regular basis, so I thought I'd just give you a quick update on one product I'm really loving and the moment and one which I'm not too impressed with!

So the product which I am absolutely in love with and just can't get enough of is The Greatest Scrub of All.

This is a facial scrub/exfoliator which contains ''A blend of super gentle silicami particles and salicylic acid loaded scrub beads'' It says on the container that you should use it 2-4 times a week if you have oily skin and less if you have dry/sensitive skin. I have dry sensitive skin and I love this product so much I have to almost hide it from myself to stop me from using it almost twice a week! I really love the consistancy of the scrub, it is rough enough to feel like it is properly exfoliating your skin, but is not too abrasive. After using this product my skin feels so smooth, squeaky clean and fresh as a daisy! Its definately one of my favourites!

5/5 and a big thumbs up from me!

and now onto the product which has is not recieving much love from my at all (and I had such high hopes for it!) sad times, and It is Hair Supply.

Hair supply is described as ''a gloss giving radiance and repair mask for all hair types'' When I saw this in my hatbox I couldn't wait to try it out, I love anything to do with hair care! and it smells absolutely gorgeous, it has what I would call the soap and glory signature scent - A sort of intense soapy sherbet! However after using it for the first time my hair felt sticky and extremely tangled whilst I was drying it, I put this down to not rinsing my hair properly. The next morning I washed my hair again (I wouldn't normally wash it this often but the product had left it looking slightly greasey!). This time I made sure my hair was rinsed really thoroughly, but when I dryed it I was again left with this awful sticky residue on my hair! I read the directions for use on the back of the tube and noticed that it said ''coats and controls split ends'' so I am not sure if this is something the product is meant to do, but whether it is or it isn't it definately doesn't work for me :-(

1/5 (the one is for the lovely smell!) and a thumbs down from me I'm afraid!

What are your favourite soap and glory products? and definately let me know if you have got hair supply to work for you or have had similar problems to me, I have pretty long hair so I don't know if this is a product which may be better suited to shorter hair.

Hope this was helpful!
