Liz Earle Botanical Shine Nourishing Hair Oil Review




Looking after your hair is one of the most important things a women should maintain. With numerous products on the market claiming to transform your hair, adding shine, fighting fizz and being the hair miracle, what do we buy & why hair oils.





Using oil after conditioner will give your hair an extra kick of moisture, they're the most important stage in the conditioning process as they essentially shut the cuticle down locking in the moisture.

Secret Ingredients:
Kenyan yangu oil  
Radish seed oil:  
Coconut oil
Vitamin E

The oil is thin not thick like other hair oils, 

I had Liz Earle for a while and earlier this year I decided to say good-bye to my Moroccan oil and give this beauty a go! I'm already a fan of Liz Earle with her products being natural and I really do believe this is a hair product every women must purchase.

Hair Diagnosis 

Hair Type: Normal / Dry (suffer with dry scalp)
Length: Long Lower back
Type: Thick, Curly.
Haircut: Once every 6 months (that's my bad side)

The trick of using the oil

1. Apply to wet hair before styling
2. Smooth a couple of drops into the palms, and smooth over hair to add a finishing gleaming touch, taming flyaways and controlling those annoying static hairs at the same time.


Results:

I have used this product 3 times a week for 8 months, it's helped dramatically with hair strength, even hair growth and those days where my psoriasis plays up I'll add a few drop on the scalp which helps ease the overgrowth. My hair was in good condition, but honestly this oil makes your hair, shiny, smells heavenly & soft!!



This is my own sample.

Got The Blues For Red





Okay, so about an hour ago I was meant to be posting about my Christmas OPI Nail's, something I could of written (now I've made a hot chocolate) about two hours ago. 

When it comes to nails I love love love OPI colours. The names are something that extracts me more when I'm picking out a colour. Over the years I've become set to my Spring / Summer & Autumn / Winter colours, but this Christmas I've decided to go for a very hollywood glam red. Being fair and blonde, I have to be careful what red to choose
* Can't be a slutty red
* A red that goes with my complexion
* Not to red / red

Decisions, decisions...... 

This was the outcome, Got The Blues For Red - £8.95 A beautiful deep red which oozes Christmas not in a slutty way but in a way of sophistication.

Christmas Beauty Wishlist


Having worked in beauty PR and a little trip to America this year, my beauty products look over healthy! Certainly with my other half questioning my motif on why I wanted to purchase another lipstick. Why not?!

Rattling my brain thinking what little pieces of beauty -must haves. I have to ask Santa for such last minute, i came up with these beauties.













1. Benefit Bronzed & Dandy - I love anything benefit, have been for many years. I love the mini versions of the full versions, perfect handbag size! 

2.  Tom Ford Lip Colour - Spanish Pink £37 from House of Fraser. I J'adore this colour. I am a pink fan when it comes to lips, I don't like being over too daring. Tom Ford hasn't been introduced to my make up set yet! 

3. OPI Live & Let Die - £7.95 from Amazon.co.uk - I need a little black nail varnish in my collection of OPI, January has got a lot different next year.

4. Nuxe Rose Petal Comforting Cleansing Milk  £13.50 from Marks & Spencers- Nuxe is my favorite skin care range EVER! Especially with rose petal, my skin loves me for this. Having it available in Marks & Spencers online as well, has made me even happier 

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit - Buynowbloglater made me want this and also watching Angela Lanter on youtube   on how to use the kit, I'm thinking move over Sleek & hello Anastasia. One problem I can't seem to find it any where, help guys! If you know of anywhere please let me know. 

6. Nars Unlawful Blush - Sad to say I am a NARs virgin! I can't find a product that makes me go WOW like MAC.  Hopefully, this little beauty of a blush maybe love!


Do any of you guys have any last minute beauty products you fancy for Christmas?

Merry Christmas

Paul & Joe Moisturizing Primer N Shade 02 Review







First came the 'Paul & Joe Moisturizing Primer' and now there is 'Primer N.' 

Paul & Joe say the primer N gives the complexion a sensual glow whilst offering a flexible coating for the skin that will help makeup stay on longer. 





One thing I love about Paul & Joe is there charming packaging and stylish bottles. It never see's to amaze me there new collections, always cute stylish and fun! 

A primer to me is a clear silicone based product like smashbox, Lancome etc, so what is the difference with Paul & Joe's primer N to others?

PRO's
* Cute packaging 
* Reduces blemishes and redness of the skin. ( Which a clear silicone based primer does not do.) 
* Light Coverage 
* Versatile - Can be used as just a coverage with powder, if you just want a cute day look. 


CON'S
* Leaves the skin dry
* Shows lines
* Dry's quickly, not enough moisture to smooth across the face




Overall the product is great as it is versatile, there some con's but they may due to my skin type which is normal/dry skin. It acts as a soften to the skin if you do red blotches which is eased by the product before putting on your main foundaion.

This is my own product not a PR Sample.
