Hair Product haul!

One area I seriously lack in when it comes to beauty products is hair stuff!
I don't really try a lot of hair styling products and tend to get stuck in my ways when it comes to hair care products.
So earlier this week when I was getting fed up of 'second day hair' I popped to the shops to pick up some new styling products to see what was available and what I could do whit them.

So without further a do!


Going back a while now I picked up this Lee Stafford Treatment for Hair That Never Grows Past A Certain Length.
It's a protein based treatment which aims to strengthen hair follicles and speed up hair growth.
I picked up 3 pots of this in Boots. They were running a 3 for £12 offer (I have no idea if it's still running). But I thought it was a fab deal as these retail for £7.99 each it worked out that I got these for half price!
I've been using this for almost 3 weeks and have made my way through one pot already! I want to use this for a bit longer before I give you guys a review!


I finally picked up the Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel Heat Protection Spray. I feel like this product has been blowing up in blog land recently and I've heard such good reviews that I thought I'd give it a try. I got it in savers for about £2.50, which is a lot cheaper than every where else I've seen it.


Also in savers I picked up this Pro:Voke Touch of Silver Intensive Treatment Conditioner which is a purple conditioner. Purple shampoo and conditioner works wonders on blonde or grey hair so I decided that at £2 I'd give it a go. Now I don't have fair blonde hair (it's actually quite dark blonde) but I have been using the John Frieda Go Lighter spray and thought this conditioner might help with intensifying my blonde.


I'm a big lover of John Frieda products and have been for years so I decided to give the Shape and Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray and the Dream Curls Styling Spray a try! I'm not really a fan of the traditional aresol hairspray and think this liquid alternative will be a lot easier on my hair (it also smells pretty nice!). I'm also looking for some new products to help my crazy natural hair look a bit more polished so I grabbed the curl styling spray too. These cost £2.50 each in savers.


Another John Frieda Frizz-Ease product I purchased is  this Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque. I bought 3 of these from Tesco at £1 each. However Tesco are currently running a 3 for 2 offer across their entire hair care and styling department so I payed £2 for 3. This is another product which claims to strengthen hair to protect against breakages and since I've been noticing some breakages amongst hair on the top of my head I'm actively seeking to strengthen my hair. This is a wash out treatment.

I'm sure you're all aware of the new line of products from VO5 in this pretty pink packages. These were also included in the 3 for 2 offer at Tesco and I treated myself to Plump it Up Weightless Mousse, Give me Texture Tousled Style Spray and Give me Texture Dry Texturising Spray. This cost £3.49 each. I find it really hard to find a reasonably priced mousse which doesn't leave your hair crispy and I'm hoping this mousse won't let me down! I have tried the old formula of the tousled spray and really did not think much of it but since they have changed the formula I thought I could only be for the better! I've never seen a dry texturising spray before and actually have high hopes for this product as it just makes compete sense to me - as a dry spray it wont moisten your hair leaving it looking unstyled.

I asked my Mum to grab me a leave in conditioner when she went shopping and she picked me up this Vitapointe Leave In Conditioner for £1.50 in Tesco. I've never heard of it before and Mum tells me that it's quiet an old fashioned product that has been around for years and 'older ladies' tend to use. I thought I may as well give it a try because if it's been around for a long time it must be doing something right!


And finally I needed a new conditioner as saw a new product from Tresemme', Keratin Smooth Keratin Conditioner and thought I can't go wrong for £2.50 from superdrug. I always used to use Tresemme' as a teenage but I've always hated the smell. I stopped using it because I had extremely thick hair and found that all Tresemme products just gave my hair too much volume (first and last time you'll ever hear a beauty girl complaining about too much volume to her 'do!) but since then the texture of my hair has changed a lot and it's now a great deal finer. I've seen a lot of new products being bought out by Tresemme' recently and have decided to give them another chance!

So what hair products have you been buying lately?

NYX Haul


For those of you who don't know (because I didn't until recently) NYX is a brand of make-up popular in the U.S. I don't know of any store which shops NYX and after seeing lots of blog posts and youtube videos I quickly  made a list of favourites and was getting ready to purchase them on line.

That is until I was doing a bit of shopping at the shopping center closest to my uni. In this shopping center there is a bunch of market stall type shops in the center and normally I walk straight past.

Today however a table heaving with make-up caught my eye!
and amongst it all was two huge baskets of NYX cosmetics!



They were super cheap as well at 3 for £5 (the price did flag up a little alarm bell in my head, but what the heck! I had to have these products!)
Recently my spending has gone out of control so I had to rope it in a bit and only spent £5.

Here's what I got.


Eyeshadow - Platinum Pink



Black Lace Lipstick - Italian Chic

                                          

Swatchy Swatchy


Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss - Fuchsia Sparkle

                                          

Another swatchy swatchy.

These two lip glosses look stunning together I couldn't resist trying them as soon as I got back to the car!


Here they are!


This is definitely a statement lip I will be wearing on a night out!
(in this photo I have a make-up free face but had done my eyebrows)

Do any of you girls own any NYX products that you love?

Mac and Elf haul

Two boxes arrived in the post for me recently!
Sometimes I forget that I've ordered things on line and get a nice surprise when they pop through my font door!

I love ELF so much! 
It's amazing that a lot of their products are only £1.50 and their products range from make up to brushes and brush cleanser.
Even their products which aren't £1.50 are great quality at a good price!


ELF orders come packaged really nicely and neatly, which may not mean much to most people but I love organised packing (and cutely packed parcels!)
I ordered these three quads, one for me, one for my sister and one for my mum.
£1.50 for 4 eye shadows! Bargain.
L-R Nymph Dreams, Teal Dream & Rocker


Finally from ELF I ordered 5 eye shadow brushes.
Top: Eye Liner Brush & Blending Brush
Middle: Lip Defining Brush & Defining Eye Brush
Bottom: Eye Shadow Brush

Click here to visit the ELF website and grab yourself some bargains!


Annnnd the other box is from MAC!
Right now MAC have apromotion on their website, spend over £30 and get free delivery.
I spent a little over £30 and got a few products which I know I'll get loads of use out of and have wanted for ages!


Another neatly packed box of goodies!

This is a frost eye shadow in the shade 'Miss Piggy Pink'. Its a nice pink colour with purple undertones.

This is a pressed powder in the shade Light Plus.
It comes in a compact with a mirror and a dusting sponge.


And finally a small bottle of Fix Plus.
I've never used a finishing spray before and have been really excited to try this!

Have you ordered any make up recently? Do you have an recommendations?

Primark haul!

I love Primark hauls! It's amazing what you can get in Primark sometimes! I find that unless you look for something specifically you can miss some real gems, and this is where these posts come in handy!

First off is some mint green pumps. I have 2 other pairs of these and they are so comfy! They do wear down quite quick, which I don't mind for my nude pair but I'm going to try and keep these in a good shape!
£4

You can never have enough vests! I love these stretch vests and already have a white one and a purple one. I picked up a lemon colour and a deep coral.
£2.50 each

These slevless blouses are great for a simple outfit! (I have them in 3 different colours now!)
£4

Recently Primark beauty and acssesories have really been catching my eye! I picked up this duo fibre hair brush for £2, the nail file (and case) were just £1 and the clips were £1.50

I love the little case with this nail file and is super handy to slip into my handbag!

Primark are now carrying the Angelica range of nail polish and today these two caught my eye.
Left: Goddess Right: Hip Hop
£2.50 each

The in the home section I grabbed two candles.
Left: Orange and Mango smoothie Right: Jasmine and Rose
£1.50 each

I hope you liked this haul, I love hauls! Let me know if you would like to see more!
