Full Repair Styling Spray |JOHN FRIEDA

So if you haven't already heard John Frieda early this year brought out the 'full repair' range. These products are meant to improve over worked and damaged hair.

The product I am reviewing is the 'style creator heat activated styling spray.'

                              

Naturally my hair is ash blond, so to lighten it up I have half a head of foil highlights every 8 weeks.

Everyone knows peroxide isn't good for anybodies hair, so being the obsessive product trier that I am, I am constantly looking on blogs, websites and Youtube for a great  inexpensive hair protector. I have used cream and sprays from numerous brands, but it's got to be said this one I really feel makes a difference.

I apply up to 6-8 sprays onto damp hair. I feel the spray is quite light and doesn't give your hair that sticky coated feeling that's other brands do.

I dry my hair as quick as possible most days and just using a big barrelled brush to curl under my fringe and ends. Once dry I don't really tend to do much styling, some times I curl or wave my hair with a curling tong. Every time when we use a heat appliance on our hair such as straighteners, curling tongues and wavers, we are damaging our hair, the ends will show the damage by splitting or getting fine and rat tail like. However I have definitely noticed my hair feeling stronger and not as many fly aways. My hair is fine and limp at the best of times, so when it gets longer, it can look scraggy (not a good look) 

To sum up this  product does what it says on the tin!

It protects your hair from heat, when your applying heat tools onto your hair. Its safe for coloured and chemically treated hair so any hair type can use this. No matter what your hair type is you should be using a heat protector spray as no one needs or wants damaged hair due to styling with a heat tool.

If your hair is really weak and chemically damaged then I would suggest using all of the range, so shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner and perfect ends deep infusion products.

You will see your hair becoming healthier and much easier to manage.
For less than £6 a product you can easily achieve the hair style that you want without permanently damaging it. I think I will struggle to find a heat protecting spray that I like as much as I do this one.

**THEY ARE ALSO ON 2 FOR £7.49 AT SUPER DRUG AT THE MINUTE!**

Foundation | Rimmel Wake Me Up

As from the picture above you can see this post is about the rimmel wake me up foundation.

I have been using this popular drug store foundation since july this year.

I had seen my favourite beauty vlogger Tanya Burr (pixie2woo) on youtube using this in her tutorials. If you havent yet watched her on youtube, you must go and watch, she is a professional makeup artist and knows her stuff!

This foundation is less than 10 pounds and I think it lives up to its name and price.

The packaging is a funky clear bottle with a huge orange lid.

When using the foundation I apply with a brush, as I find it gives more even coverage.

To start with  I found this foundation had a lovely light, smooth texture. On the skin it feels really fresh and dewy. Not heavy and cakey one bit. It doesn't have much of smell. Not pungent like some facial products can be.

The coverage is good for my skin, I bought it in the shade ivory. I have a few blemishes and redness from time to time and this does the trick nicely. It gives your skin a really smooth and glowy finish and has a sparkle in the formula. I must admit (i think)this is what gives you the radiant/bright/wakemeup look.

I swatched this onto my hand for this picture

as you can see there is a shiny finish, so maybe if you have oily skin type, I would maybe refrain from using this product, or you might want to apply a powder to your oily areas after.

I haven't been using a pressed powder over this as its been summer, however coming to winter I prefer a matte/velvet finish so will be applying a powder over this.

I use this foundation daily, it gives me enough coverage for day to night.

It also have SPF 15, which is great for anytime of year.

Between wake me up and  Bourjois healthy mix, i would reach for this more as the finish looks more even to me.

I can barely feel the product on my face which is always an advantage.

Hope you have enjoyed the read,

Bye for now.

VO5 |give me textue spray

If you have read any of my previous posts you will know i suffer from flat and lifeless hair! So i have been looking for a product that will just give me the help to give some texture to my hair! I have had this product for a couple of months now and I wasn't sure if it would have the desired effect but as the price was low and i can always pass on products i don't use to my mum and sister i purchased it. Its the new V05 give me texture tousled style spray. The description on the packaging is tease your locks and enhance your waves. This is what enticed me in. So after using this product on dry hair, i felt it did give my hair volume and texture, the product itself is quite sticky and doesn't feel too nice to put into your hair. If you put too much into the hair i think it makes the hair heavy and stuck together also looking a bit wet. However using a small amount at the ends of your hair, scrunching the spray into your natural waves and then onto any layers you have i think it gives a great effect. I bought this product for £3.36, yes cheap as chips. I bought this product from Boots but i seen it also in Superdrug. I used this product today and i have taken a picture which will be below. I should have taken a picture of before, if you can imagine my hair blown dried is bone straight!

 The picture above is the product, below is me and my hair with the product in.

Witch |Concealer

I bought this product last Thursday and i am loving this concealer. It was around 4 pound from Superdrug, which is great value as it has glam packaging, slim for your purse or makeup bag. The concealer (witch hide and clear) is in natural colour number 1. It has great coverage and has witch hazel to soothe and reduce your blemishes. I went to a wedding on Saturday and i didnt re-touch my makeup I just kept covering up my spots with this (which i had a serious breakout a few days earlier.) I felt this concealer really toned down my spots and helped with the redness.

I can assure you this is a great product, its creamy not too chalky, great shade and cheap. I have a concealer palette from Avon which i bought recently and even though it has a great variety of shades like yellow and apricot for reducing redness and blemishes, it hasn't got the witch hazel which helps reduce your blemish as well as covering them for a perfect finish.

Buy Here!

Smokey Eyes |Collection 2000

I bought this over a week ago now, and I must admit i thought because its not an expensive brand i wouldn't use it very often and probably need to use a primer!

Except i have used it every day since! Collection 2000 has a variety of affordable products, i really like their concealer and eyeliners. This is great product and i think collection 2000 have really related their products to the more popular and expensive brands. The palette has a selection of 9 colours. 3 medium, 3 dark, 2 light and 1 cream. (as you may see from the picture below.) The colours do not have name but from left to right i will tell you my description of the colours.

• silver with glitter, black, white
• gold with glitter, brown, pink
• grey, dark brown, pink cream 

 So from the picture and the description you can probably tell that this are very neutral and earthy colours, which i think can suit dark haired or fair haired people. I can use the light to medium on the days i have worked and if I'm out late in the evening i can just use the medium to darker colousr! The darker colours are great and highly pigmented, the light colours are not that great but do the job. The cream which is used as a highlighter is pretty nice quality and does give a nice glossy look to the inner corners of your eyes!

The only problems i have with this fairly cheap palette is that the eye shadows when you apply them they can fall a lot and means lots of concealer under the eyes. Also the applicator for this product is like the sponge on sticks i had when i was younger in a toy makeup set! I binned that as soon as i saw it! I just use my eyeshadow brush and a fluffy blending brush, which works fine.

On the back there is a how to use in 4 easy steps, i did take note of this, however the lighter shades are not very good at the brow bone highlighting because they aren't very pigmented.

I bought this palette from Boots, its was around £4. Which i think to get 9 colours is a great bargain! Especially as they are half decent eye shadows! They had two other colour scheme palettes, one was really bright loud colours and the other one was purples i think. I preferred this one as it was more neutral tones. I have the Benefit smokey eyes palette and I think this is a good cheap alternative for people who like the smokey eyes look!

Lush Lips!

This has to be one of my faveourite lip glosses ever! It has amazing shine and feel! I am quite a neutral lip kind of girl and rarely dare to wear a lipstick which is matte coloured. However with this i think it gives a great colour and a fabulous shine! It claims to stay on for 6 hours which i havent witnessed yet! Maybe 4 hours. Saying that I do like to apply the lip gloss often! As for the packaging its in a glam diamond looking tube with the shiny handle. I had a friend comment on the packaging, saying it looks fab! The applicator for this product is a small heart shaped spongy wand, which i think is so easy and smooth to use!! I think Cheryl Cole may have advertised this product earlier this year! This is a great cheap lip gloss available at most drugstores. Loreal really suceeded with this product, i bought it for about £8, and I think i will have to invest in a darker colour for the night as  the "103  forever nude" is better for the day!

Glam shine is a small tube but I have used my day in and day out since early August and I still get great coverage from it still. If you want perfect glossy lips with an easy application this is the gloss for you, they have 16 varied colours.

Argan Oil | Hair Treatment

This is a serum which I use on a daily basis!
Its a fantastic new product that is used for your hair.
 It had vitamin E and a natural anti-oxidant which nourishes your hair and gives it a great shine! I bought mine from Boots at £12.99 for 100mls.
I was looking for the more popular Moroccan oil but I came to this first and thought I would have a dabble at this one. I was immediately impressed with the product, it makes my hair feel soft and gave moisture to my dry ends.
 Also as I have blonde hair a shine is hard to achieve but this does give me a slight shine without looking greasy.
 I use a couple of pumps and that usually rids me of my fly aways and smooths down my layers.
 I would recommend this product to anyone who feel they need to give there hair a treatment for dry ends.
 My mum noticed a change with the healthiness of my hair and was soon asking for a pump or two. My mum also has fine limp hair like mine and too prone to fly aways, however she loved this oil treatment and use it as religiously as me now! I use it up to twice a day, mostly after its been blown dried.
 I have only used a quarter of the bottle over 3 months! Its great value and I think the popular Moroccan oil is about the same price for a lot  less product!
So this is great if your on a budget but still want a quality product for the money you do spend!

I will leave the link below for the boots website where they will have more information on the product.
