Monthly Empties

Hi guys,

Well it's officially September, and with that the weather in Newcastle has really become cold - like under 10°C! So with the start of a new month comes the empties post of the month, or in my case a collaborated July and August monthly empties.

I haven't used up many products, as I've been swapping and changing them up over the month or so.

Lush Dirty Spray - I will and always repurchase this! I love it so much, you can read my review here.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation - Although there is still a few applications left in the bottle, I thought I would include it. I really like this foundation because the texture is so light and liquidly, meaning it blends like a dream. The finish is natural, lightweight, non-sticky and slightly dewy. 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - I've already repurchased! I really like this powder as makes you look flawless! It makes your skin appear matt but not flat, and leaves your skin looking airbrushed. 

Lush Mask of Magnaminty - I will repurchase this too, as soon as I am finished with my other face masks. I like the way it exfoliates my skin, but also leaves it feeling refreshed without being too dry.  I also really love the smell!

Sunsilk Leave-in Balm - FINALLY THIS IS EMPTY! I mean this was ok, but my it lasted for so long I got sick of it. It did make my hair smooth and smell nice, but I probably will not repurchase it.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Deep Nourishment Intensive Mask - Yummy! I love this so much! I actually have 4 more of these. I have been using this as a daily conditioner, as I love the way it makes my hair feel and smells. 

Herbal Essences Smooth and Soft Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask - I already have another one of these in my stash so no need to repurchase yet! But I do really love the Herbal Essences masks, they are so good for the price.

Hopefully I can finish more products by the end of September!

Haul; Hair Care, Body Care and Shoes!

Hi everyone,

I went shopping on the weekend with my boyfriend and picked a few things out!

First I got some more Herbal Essences things. I picked up the Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner, two Hello Hydration intensive masks and then a Smooth and Soft hair mask too. You can read a review on the Smooth and Soft mask here :)

Next I picked up some hair dye, I decided to get the Schwarzkopf Colour Xxl Shake It Up Colour Foam as it looks pretty interesting -I just hope its not too messy! I got the colour 'Black Velvet Crush' as I have black hair and my roots need doing. I will be doing a review on this when I get round to doing my hair, if you have uses this leave me a comment telling me whether you found it messy!

I then got another bottle of Vanilla Dee-Lite from Lush. I just got the small one as it takes me a very long time to use it all up. Vanilla Dee-Lite smells like vanilla and coconut yoghurt, it isn't as thick as a body butter as it's more watery. I was going to pick up Vanillary solid perfume but Lush was out of stock!

 I then went to Matalan and got these shoes! I really have been loving Matalans shoes recently, there was about 8 pairs that I could have bought, but alas I couldn't afford them all! 

I settled for these cranberry coloured Chelsea Boots, as I can't wait until autumn and winter. They came in a few different colours and are were only £16! They are made from a suede material so not good for wet weather but I couldn't leave with out them -here's the link :)

So that's my little haul! 

Have you bought anything in the past few days?

Review; Herbal Essences Intensive Smooth And Soft Hair Mask

Hey girls,

When I was in Tesco a few days ago, I picked up Herbal Essences Intensive Smooth And Soft hair mask. If you read my half price Tesco haul post, then you would know I picked this up really cheaply for £2 as most of the Herbal Essence products are on offer. I normally use the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration hair mask but decided to change this week and get the Smooth and Soft kind. 

The Smooth and Soft hair mask really makes a difference to the feel and look of my hair. The mask is quite thick but spreadable, if you know what I mean, so a little goes a long away. When I apply it I use it all over as I don't find masks make my hair look greasy or weigh it down. I leave it on for around 5 minutes (basically as long as I can) then wash it off. After using this my hair was left nourished and felt super soft to the touch. I also noticed that my split ends were hidden quite a bit, leaving them soft and healthy looking.

The Smooth and Soft hair mask smells like tropical fruit juice, and lingers on your hair after washing it out too. The smell of the mask is also similar to the Hello Hydration version, the only difference between the smells is that Smooth and Soft is more orangey and Hello Hydration has a much stronger coconut smell.

The packaging on the mask is really up my street too - I love the bright orange as it's a fun and happy colour!

Overall I really love this mask, in fact I love all the Herbal Essence range! I do have to say though, I prefer the Hello Hydration mask to this only because I prefer the coconut smell. Otherwise I feel that this mask is perfect, and something every girl with damaged, dry or frizzy hair needs! 

Have you tired the Herbal Essence masks?
