Tresemme Split Remedy Serum | Beauty Review

Hey everyone :)

I have fine yet frizzy hair which is very prone to breakage and split ends (don't you just envy me?) so I've been on the hunt for some products to help me tame the mane.

I've never used any type of serum - hair or skin - before so was quite intrigued when I saw this Tresemme Split Remedy Serum on the shelf in Superdrug. I haven't heard anyone talking about this online but after trying it out it definitely needs more recognition.

 

Although it's a serum and is quite oily, it still feels quite light in your hair and doesn't way it down at all. It's easy to apply - I just use it on my ends - and makes your hair feel soft and adds some subtle shine. I'm really loving it so far and I'm keen to try some other products from Tresemme's Split Remedy range. If you have any recommendations, let me know below!

I hope you enjoyed this post and if you did, please follow and feel free to say hello in the comments.

Also, feel free to request any posts and reviews to do next :)

Mini Beauty Haul | Beauty

Hello :)

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently went shopping and picked up a few beauty products and also received a late Christmas present (don't worry Nanna, I forgive you).

After hearing one of my favorite vloggers, Tanya Burr , rave about this mascara on her YouTube channel I just had to try it out. It's Maybelline's The Falsies mascara and I got the limited edition 'Black Drama' one. I got it for £4.99 in Superdrug and so far I'm really loving it! (Let me know below if you'd like a review).

Yes..I fell for the hype. I've seen so many bloggers going nuts over these little pots and I have to say, I was intrigued. I never usually go for cream eyeshadow because they're annoying as hell to apply and crease like a mofo. But I REALLY love this. I got the shade On and On Bronze, a shimmery neutral that I knew I'd get the most use out of. I used it for a tutorial today and it hasn't come off yet - result! (For those wondering, this was £4.99 in Superdrug).

I'd never known that Accessorize had a makeup line! I was instantly pulled in by the floral designs and bright colours and decided to go well out of my comfort zone (one of my new year's resolutions). I never wear bright bold colours when it comes to makeup, but when I saw this palette I fell in love. As you can see from the picture, I've done lots of experimenting with the glitters. It was maybe slightly overpriced at £13... I'm not sure it's worth it to be honest as some of the colours aren't that pigmented.

Next is a late Christmas present from my Nanna, but it was definitely worth the wait. I've never really been into perfumes and always went for the impulse sprays, but I've been keen to start wearing perfume more often. This Ted Baker 'W' eau de toilette is perfect for me - it's sweet, slightly floral but not too sophisticated. I love the triangular bottle and the pink looks really pretty on my desk. It's £46 for 100 ml and is definitely a contender for my new signature scent :)

This last item isn't exactly beauty related, but I HAD to include it in a post. I got this Charlie Chaplin style phone case from Ebay for only  £3.99 and I absolutely love it. The design is so fun and quirky and I've had loads of compliments on it. They have loads of different colours if you fancy taking a look!

So that's it for my mini-haul :) If you enjoyed this post please follow my blog and feel free to say hello in the comments. I like doing little mini hauls of things I've picked up during the month and if you do too let me know.

Vintage Print Jeans | Fashion

Hello :) 

I recently went shopping and bought a few beauty products (which will also be featured in a blog post soon), but while wandering around Tk Maxx I came across the 'MOD' section. I'd never really had a look in this section before, but basically it has loads of vintage looking pieces and cool band t-shirts. I came across these jeans and fell in love with them instantly.

They're acid-wash and have almost a 'jegging' feel to them - they are quite thin and stretchy but still very warm. I love the floral print on them and I like that these are a statement piece without being too dramatic.

£16.99, Tk Maxx

These jeans are super comfy and perfect for summer. I can't wait to wear them this S/S13.

Hope you enjoyed this post :) If you did please follow this blog for more fashion and lifestyle posts.

'New Year, New Me'..Hopefully - 2013 | ybfo

Hi everyone :)

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted on here. It's just been a very busy past few months with Christmas and revision so this blog has been put aside, unfortunately.

Because I'm in the middle of exams, I'm not going to be able to post very regularly (obviously they are my main focus right now) but I am going to be posting more 'diary' type things. That's not a very good explanation..(sorry). For example, if somethings been bugging me all week, I feel like a rant or if something's just caught my attention I'll post about it. I thought it would add a bit of variety to this blog instead of just fashion and beauty posts all the time :)

Sorry for the long intro, now into the actual post. HAPPY 2013!! I'm not really one to make resolutions but I decided that I was going to make a change this year. So here are my 2013 resolutions..

1. BE ADVENTUROUS!

 

I've always been a very shy person and have suffered with anxiety in the past. I'm just afraid to put myself out there and be daring, because I'm afraid that people won't like me or that something will go wrong. But this year I've decided that I'm going to start with the little things.

Like talking to people I don't normally talk to, and going out more. I'm not going to try anything drastic because that's just not me. So I'm just going to be a little more daring now and then :)

2. GET ACTIVE

I spend waaaay too much time lounging around the house on the internet or revising. I used to do loads of sport but in the last year I just haven't had the time or energy. So, I've decided to start going to the gym with a friend once a week and spend an hour on the treadmill. It's about as much as I can do at the moment, and I think it will give me a real boost (as well as a toned body for my trip to Rome in the summer - EEK!)

3. DRINK MORE WATER

 

I never realized how little water I drank during the day, and how much of an effect it could have on my skin and overall mood. I've been in a really bad place really and because of my dehydration my skin has definitely suffered. So my final resolution is to drink at least three glasses of water a day. And, when I'm at school I will take a bottle with me which must be drank! (how strict).

I'm not promising that I will be able to stick with these resolutions, and if I don't that's okay. But, I do like a challenge so let's see how long I can go :)

Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Leave them below :)
