A Little TLC for The Locks ♡

Me and my boyfriend recently visited his brother and sister in law down in London, we had an absolutely amazing time and i got a good bit of advice for my hair too!

Nathan's sister in law is a head stylist at one if the Vidal Sassoon salons and she offered to give my hair a little trim which of course i was more than happy about - she did grimace slightly when i told her it had probably been a good year - year and a half since i had last had a trim! *naughty me!* 

When she trimmed my hair she said that i has some breakage to the underneath of my hair and obviously had a ton of split ends, she also said that my hair was quite dry. I asked what she  would recommend to help it out and she said to try get a shampoo, conditioner and hair masque that has protein in it. 

The protein with help the hair lock in moisture but also make it a lot stronger and less inclined to break. So i scoured Feel Unique and there is quite a few good - and pricey!- hair treatments on there, i really recommend the Aveda Damage Remedy range, it smells very spa like but works like a dream on the hair! 

A bit of a long back story but today i wanted to share a masque that has done wonders for my hair and is a lot more accessible and affordable then the Aveda ones. Charles Worthington Salon at Home Mineral Hair Rescue Masque. I got mine from Boots for just £5.99, it comes in a good sized 150ml pot which is lasts for quite a while, i've used mine twice a week for about 3 weeks now and i still have half left.

This little masque has so many amazing ingredients for you hair like Argan Oil to nourish, Marine Minerals to aid recovery and helps hair grow and Conditioning Proteins which help replace the hairs natural proteins lost during heat staying and make hair stronger and more healthy looking!

The masque also comes in a little pot with a flip up lid so its really easy to get exactly the right amount of product and you don't have to worry about squeezing a bottle to an inch of its life when its getting toward the end! 

The masque has made my hair look and feel so much more healthy. It super soft and so easy to brush through after a shower - i will definitely continue to buy this masque its super cheap and just amazing!

The Perfect High Street/ Drug Store Foundation? ♡

So as most of you probably know, L'Oréal has quite a few brands under its group such as YSL and Giorgio Armani, but somehow it still amazes me when L'Oréal Paris release something as amazing as this foundation! 

I have been using this foundation for a good month now in conjunction with the L'Oréal Infallible Primer - which you can read about here and like most other people who have tried this is has soon become my favourite everyday foundation. 

The formula is light on the face but still has a medium to high coverage, and easily covers up little imperfections. It blends super easily and i have had quite a lot of compliments saying how nice my skin looks! 

The formula is Matte, but its not super matte, it still allows the skins natural glow to shine through a little and it doesn't dry my skin out at all and i tend to suffer from dry patches around my nose and forehead. The consistency of the foundation is more toward the thicker end of scale but i have found that its not cakey in the slightest - even with my pores! 

The shade i picked up matches me perfectly - i have relatively pale skin with pinky undertones and Natural Rose is ideal! The only downside i can see to this foundation is that at the moment it is only available in 6 shades which is a bit of a bummer and the shade look like they are more suited to pale and medium skin tones, so if you are rocking a tan or have dark skin, you may find it hard to find a shade to match up with!

Have you tried the L'Oréal Infallible Matte Foundation yet? What did you think?

In The VIP With The Movie Stars - L'Oréal Color Riche Lipstick - VIP ♡

Since buying this lipstick a few weeks ago it has fast become one of my favourites. Its a perfect matte lipstick and what makes this super special is that the formula is really creamy and not drying in the slightest. 

The is a perfect red toned coral, which makes it perfect for the upcoming months. Like i said the formula of this lipstick is super creamy which means it glides onto the lips like a dream without any dragging and the colour pay off, i mean wow these lipsticks are super pigmented and the colour is really buildable.

The colour is really long lasting and doesn't transfer when eating or drinking - which is always a winner in my eyes! 

I adore this lipstick and there are so many other shades in the range that very from pinks to nudes to bright reds. They also have some shades in a satin finish if you are not a fan of matte. I will definitely be picking more of these lipsticks they are amazing!

Have you tried any of the Color Riche Lipsticks yet? What shades do you recommend?
