Quick Fix Hair Days

 

We all have those days where our hair just feel a bit limp and lifeless, and not exactly fresh either. On the second day after washing my hair, my hair tends to feel slightly greasy so I always use a dry shampoo to help with that. Dry shampoo is a great way to make your hair feel cleaner and look much more volumized, and is especially helpful when you don't have time to wash your hair in the mornings and get completely ready and out the door in the space of 30 minutes. Recently I purchased one of Ruth Crilly's Dry Shampoo's in the fragrance, London. Her range is available in Superdrug and on Feel Unique. There are five different scents to choose from, the one I have in the black can is called the 'classic fragrance' and is a lovely sophisticated smell. I also love how this dry shampoo doesn't show any traces of white chalkiness after you've applied it, so you don't have to spend ages rubbing it into your scalp. A few sprays on your roots, massage it in, and voila!

Beauty and Fashion Haul - November

I've been shopping a couple of times in the past few weeks and picked up some new beauty products as well as some fashion pieces, so I decided I would share them with you today and give little reviews on the products I have tried.

The first item I bought was the Maybelline Fit Me concealer because I had heard brilliant reviews on it all over blogs and YouTube! I got the shade '10', and it suits my skin colour quite well. I always find it so difficult to match concealer shades in store as you can never tell if the colour is right because of the yellow lighting. But anyway it works very well at covering dark circles; I find it doesn't crease like the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer does on me. The formula isn't too heavy, although it has good coverage. Overall I am very pleased and for £6 I think it is great.

My skin has been playing up recently, I'm not too sure why but I was getting pretty annoyed. I read some reviews on The Body Shop Tea Tree range and so many people said the products worked wonders on their skin! I went in store and found a set for £13 including the tea tree foam cleanser, toner and clearing lotion. I have been using these items for just over a week now, and I am really enjoying using them. The tea tree scent is so refreshing especially good in the morning to wake you up! I may do an updated skincare routine soon, when I have tried out the items for longer.

The last couple of things are some fashion pieces. I was looking around the sale section in Topshop expecting not to find anything in my size and then I spotted a pair of Mom Shorts reduced to £10 from £30. I kind of had to buy them, even though we are now getting into the colder months of the year... I figured I could pair them with a nice woolly jumper along with some tights and boots. Let me know if you'd like me to write a winter style post, or how I style jumpers. I have also been needing a new bag, not too big, not too small, to go shopping with or just out and about. I found this lovely burgundy/wine red coloured bag from Primark for £5, it is the perfect size and the colour fits in with the Autumn season well.
