It's a haul!

Hello My Lovelies,

It was pay day on Friday and I was ready to go and treat myself to a few bits that I've had my eye on!

First up.... La Roche Posay Effclar Duo- this is a repurchase, I've bought and used three of these and I love it, I wish I had known of this product sooner! £13 from Boots.

Aussie miracle moist shampoo and conditioner and the beach mate intensive conditioner- I've recently got back into using this brand as the summer sun, chlorine and sea water has wrecked my hair. I'm going to have a hair cut tomorrow and using these products will fingers crossed help my hair out! I bought all three from Boots for £10

 

Liz Earle limited edition cleanse and polish- as soon as I received an email from Liz Earle telling me that this would be on sale at the end of August I knew it would be mine- I've only used it once so far but it is divine. It cost £19.75 for 150ml and you also get 2 of the muslin cloths too!

I also purchased a 15ml brightening mask, I've not tried this before and decided to give it a go before I buy a full size.....£5.50. Finally I bought some of the deep cleansing mask sponges to use with my favourite face mask of all time the Natural Collection Rosemary & Witch Hazel. 

I went into Boots the other day to buy some more of the Natural Collection face masks and they were not only out of stock but there was no ticket for them on the shelf...I have an awful feeling they have been discontinued!! What face mask would you suggest I use instead?

So that's my shopping for the month, roll on the next pay day!!!

Till next time,

Tori.

Beauty UK CC Cream Review

Hello My Lovelies,

I've been on the look out for a CC Cream for a while and when I was in Superdrug a few days ago this one ticked all the boxes.

 

Firstly it contains SPF 30, I love to wear an SPF all year and its a bonus that its a 30. Some other positives of this cream are.... You need very little of the product to cover your face, a 10 pence piece is enough. On the back of the tube it says "A lightweight, hydrating colour correcting cream" and this is exactly what it is- It doesn't cake, or clog your skin. I purchased the colour fawn which is the second colour of three and perfect for my skin in the summer months.

Once on the face it looks amazing my skin feels fresh, illuminated and glowing!

 

Now for the negatives! 

 

It's very runny so you have to be uber careful how much you squeeze out of the tube.

The coverage of spots and blemishes could be better.

Only 3 shades.

Only 25ml of product so not much for your £4.99

Would I buy it again? Maybe if the negatives in this review were corrected! For a drug store the CC cream by Beauty UK is a good starter product.

Have you tried this cream?

Till next time, 

Tori.

Purple Hair Don't Care!

Hello My Lovelies,

A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and dye my hair for the very first time! So I didn't go all the way and do my whole head, however I did dye the ends bright purple and I love it! I work in education and that means I'm currently on a six week holiday,whoop! I thought with all the time I would have to wash it out if it went wrong, that now was a great time to experiment. I decided to use the Schwarzkopf Live Colour or as the box says "color" in Purple Punk. Schwarzkopf have some other crazy colours I would love to try like the electric blue but this time I stuck with the purple.

I roped in my mum to give me a hand, and after watching some YouTube video's I found the best way to apply was to part my hair into sections, add the colour and then wrap it in foil. I left it on the ends of my hair for the suggested 20 minutes and then got my mum to wash my head over the bath. I have to say I am super happy with results and can't wait for the Christmas holidays and the chance to do it all over again!

Here's a picture of the finished hair do.....

Have you ever decided to go a bit mad and dye your hair a vibrant colour? Let me know in the comments section below.

Till next time,

Tori.
