Hair mask- For a pound

I love this hair mask! It's perfect, I am pretty sure I've spoke about many times. 

There is nothing to complain about this product. Even the price at an amazing £1!!! 

I think it makes a huge difference to my ends after washing. I also think the smell is really nice. The brand itself is quite nice, Ive tried quite a few different products from them, from shampoo to heat defence spray. To be honest i don't think are there many products in the range from this company. But i could be wrong just Ive used all the ones i can find.

This Product is from ' argan oil ' and its kind of a knock off dupe for the ' macadamia oil ' products, which Ive never tried because so far i haven't been able to justify spending so much money on a hair product. Yes Ive heard how amazing everything is, and I'm also sure one day i will try it, but up to now i have never have an excuse to spend that much money.  

I first bought this product a long long time ago, thinking oh i will try it but i assume it will make no difference its £1, i mean that is a huge bargain! I've used hair masks before but never that cheap, but i thought for the price i will give it a go, I'm not exactly losing anything (well apart from 100 little pennies ) 

so i picked this up telling myself it will be crap but it isn't! 

Don't get me wrong it isn't the best thing in the world, but if you cant afford anything more pricey just go for this, or especially if your knew to hair masks and don't want to pay out for something and then hate it. 

£1 product!

Today is just a quick review for you, it's on a concealer that I bought last week. It's the ' hide and and conceal ' from mua. And obviously as most of you know a lot of their products are £1. I think at one point everything was a £1 but as prices always do, they rise, and it's no different for this brand. 

This concealer obviously isn't the best but it's actually really good if you look at the price too. 

I don't like the thing it's self, if that makes any sense, but I don't like the stick itself but the product itself is great! 

It hides exactly what I need it to, and for most of the time too without it going cakey. I think it's one of those products though that you love or hate. 

Happy girl!

100! This is my 100th post! And I just want to thank every single one of you for reading my blog. I assume you've ended up hear accidentally but you don't know how much this means to me. Last year I became very ill and needed something to pass the time and I thought about it, about what I enjoyed doing or took any interest in. And it's beauty! Any thing beauty, skin, hair, anything! I just enjoy reading product reviews, checking out new products coming out. 

So to pass the time I started writing silly reviews on products, and now I really enjoy it and wish I could take it seriously enough to make a job out of it ( that'll never happen ) but It would be amazing. 

Thank you everyone so much!! 

Love you all xxxx 

Bargain bubble bath!

I'm a sucker for bubble bath and always need to have some in the house, horder alert!! 

Most of the time I also have some weather it be a full bottle, a bottle with a tiny bit in or a little sample of some sort, I need to have bubble bath in my life. 

Baths are for relaxing so I can stick whatever I want in the water. As long as it smells nice.

I thought id share with you my recent find. I was in pound land a few weeks ago and thought oh I'll get some bubble bath. I didn't have high expectations but bought some anyway. I know that radox bubble baths can be found for £1 but I've tried a lot and wanted something different. I picked up a strange branded bottle and have it a sniff! Beeeautiul! 

I couldn't not buy it. 

It's nothing too exciting but it smells incredible! They had a few other scents but as soon as I smelt this I didn't give the others chance. It really is fruity. It does leave your water looking a bit pink, but surely that's a good thing, all girls need pink somewhere! It makes loads of bubbles without using to much product and for £1 who really can moan? It is really nice. I think people think ' pound land' I'm not going in there. But think of things you need, is there any point paying £3 when you can spend £1? You need to check it out. 

When your next in there look for this bubble bath! Or any of the other range, and just have a smell. 

Face Masks - part 2

I decided to split to post into two because, i didn't want it to be extra long and drag on ; and also i thought i would do the tubes on a separate post. Also these aren't higher end but are obviously more expensive than £1.

I'm going to start off with an Avon product, It's actually a little gift set that i received for Christmas. But is a really good idea to try out different masks without buying the tube and then not liking it, So this was a great present idea. 

As you can see I've posted a photo of the actual packing it came in and what came with it. 12 sample ' planet spa ' face masks. I like the fact there is 3 different ranges to try out. I've not used all of these yet because i am constantly changing up my skin care routine and i think these are nice little travel friendly sized masks. As i said in the previous post to me a mask that has one use is silly, but i disagree on these because i think it's a lovely gift idea and you have a little bit of choice. 

All 3 of these masks are really good, 

- Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask

- Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mud Mask

- Mediterranean Olive Oil Hydrating Face Mask

I think this is a great gift and i really do like all 3 masks it comes with, I'm pretty sure you can buy the masks singular. I do really like these but maybe will not buy again afterwards because they are so hard to get your hands on. 

Next up

This is and isn't a face mask, it's actually a scrub but can be used as a mask. It's the ' Soap & Glory, Scrub Your Nose In It '

I was really excited to try this stuff, but i was very disappointed. The product is great does great things to your skin ( which is obviously what we want it to do ) but the smell is so strong. It stinks of mint, and just reminds me of toothpaste. No one wants to rub toothpaste all over their face. It actually looks like it too, It's a greeny blue colour. 

Overall though it is actually a good skin product, but for a 'Soap & Glory ' product you expect it to have the usual smell and this just surprised me. I actually bought it from www.amazon.co.uk a while ago because my local Boots didn't have any in and i was that excited to try it, so maybe if i had smelt it in the store i wouldn't of purchased it, but i did. Maybe if they change the horrible fragrance i will try it again, but it was too overpowering and stung my eyes. 

Nextttt

This next one is actually a really new one i have purchased so really its cheating putting it in here but i cant do a face mask post and not include all the ones around my house. This was an impulse buy, i hadn't read any reviews i literally went into the shop saw that it was on offer and thought ' ill have this ' afterwards when i left the shop i realised how much the product was full price. £10 is a little steep for me, but if its good enough maybe i can justify it. 

It's The ' Sanctuary 5 minute thermal detox mask ' maybe some of you have tried it. I've used it once so cant really comment but the one time i have used it i quite enjoyed it. I don't really think it has a scent. Its really thick consistency but it left my skin really smooth and that what i like, i like to feel it doing something. 

Usa- Basically i think you could find all of these products online, Ebay or amazon will more than likely sell them. Maybe difficult to find, but you can. To be completely honest i dont know if you can be find any of these in shops! Let me know if you can. I've tried my best to find things out but obviously i only have ' Google ' to find out. 

Stretch mark time!

We all know everyone man or female, they will have at least one stretch mark, it's more likely it women because of pregnancy. But obviously that isn't the only cause. They make you feel insecure about certain parts of your body. 

I'm a person with stretch marks, I don't have a baby, so that's not my excuse. Really I don't have an excuse. In the long run its all just my fault anyway. When I was at school obviously your still growing, but I started to put a lot of weight on. Ending up at a size 16, there is no problem with that, but aswell as growing, it ended up badly for me. 

       At first I had no clue what was going on, but soon began to realise, I had stretch marks coming on my inner thighs, ( how embarrassing ) there was nothing I could do I tried to lose weight I tried creams nothing worked. Now I'm older, I've lost weight( still not as small as I want YET! ) but I have a partner he doesn't care obviously he loves me looking my worst. 

       But it makes you feel rubbish, getting in a bikini on holiday in case some one sees them. 

       So does anyone know any tricks to get rid? Today I bought some oil, it's just a cheap non known brand because I don't actually know if they are any good? If anyone recommends one I might try it, but I thought I might as well just try this first.

As you can see I have no idea what the brand is ( Osiris avise) French maybe? But it was £1! From savers uk. ( maybe you can buy abroad or online) but what a bargain, and if it doesn't work I won't of lost out on too much money. I put some on tonight, and I thought it would leave me feeling sticky and horrible like baby oil does, but it dried quite quickly, so let's hope it works. Does anyone know how long they normally take to work?! 

So if you want to try something cheap for your stretch marks, try savers. They had quite a few different ones. Including the well known bio oil. 

Thanks for reading. Sorry for the lack of posts, but I have a few coming up :)

Mua makeup

Some people have heard of mua ( make up academy) and some haven't. Most people just hate the idea of using makeup that's so cheap, because they think it would be rubbish. I agree some of the products are rubbish, and some aren't. 
       For example the eyeshadows are really good. Single ones are £1 which is really cheap! And ok if you just want one colour inpaticular. But I prefer to go for the pallets as you get more for your money, they just aren't something you can fit into your average make up bag. There are so many different ones, some £4 some £8. Like for example there is a palett witch is called ' immaculate collection' which is £8, but it has an amazing 24 shades! From browns, blacks to blues and pinks. It's a really wide range of choice. It comes with a double sided brush inside it. 
     Some of the other products for example the primer, isn't the best I think primer is something you need to spend more money on to be effective, well at least in this case. 
      I haven't tried all the range of products because some just dont shout at to me, and wouldn't be something I would ever use. Apart from the kohl eyeliners, I only have used black because other bright colours wouldn't suit me. But for £1 they are great, they come with a sharpner In the lid so that's always handy. The eyeliner is really dark and goes on great but it won't last all day, it's something that will need topping up, but who can complain at £1? 
     Don't be afraid to be cheap, try it out!
