Haircare Essentials I am Loving!

Dazzling Shine at a Dazzling Price! 

So, I should probably mention that I am a student and yes, as the stereotype suggests I don't have much spare cash to be spending on beauty buys. I always try and buy products that are affordable and I will very rarely buy a luxury brand of a beauty product, especially when there are such good, cheaper alternatives out there. 

In the past, I've had a very much love-hate relationship with Herbal Essences haircare. I go through fazes of liking it and then my hair seems to get a bit dull and bored of it. At the moment, I am very much loving it! And I am also loving the vamped up packaging. I bought a small bottle of the "Herbal Essences Dazzling Shine" shampoo around a month ago and started using it a little sceptically but I was very pleasantly surprised. I absolutely love it! It does exactly what it says on the bottle. Since starting to use it my hair feels so much more healthy, shiny and soft- not to mention the amazing smell the shampoo leaves your hair with! Last week I went into boots and bought the bigger bottle of the shampoo and also the conditioner. My hair can often get greasy very quickly so I am careful about the conditioner I apply to it. With this conditioner, I only have good things to say, it doesn't leave my hair greasy at all and is a great product to use in combination with the shampoo! Overall a great budget buy!

Nail of the Day

My Autumn Nails 


I wanted to spice up my nail varnish collection this week, while still staying on trend for the Autumn season! Harder than you might think, considering the major colours I love this season are so dark! I bought a new Revlon polish, as these are my all time favourite polishes! They are so opaque and easy to apply but to be honest, I do think they are a little on the expensive side but I thought I would treat myself.... and I am SO glad I did! The colour is literally beautiful! Maybe I should actually mention the colour... it is called "midnight" and is a gorgeous deep green/ blue colour. I love the colour but also wanted to make it a little more exciting, so I decided to add a glittery "technic" top coat that I've had for ages but never used! I bought the polish in Bodycare a few months ago and it was only £1. To be honest, I thought the price was too low for the polish to actually be any good but I love the blue flex of glitter over the turquoise Revlon polish. In conclusion, LOVE my nails right now! 


Glitteryyyyy!

Kate Moss




Collection for Rimmel

I am really not usually a fan of Kate Moss in general, she always seems like a right moody cow! However, I have to admit that I love her new collection for Rimmel. Well I should really say that I love the look of it because I haven't actually tried any of the lipsticks yet. I am trying to decide what one I want to try out most and I am having a dilemma! (First World Problems) 

The shades all look beautiful and most of them are firmly  in my comfort zone! I usually go for peachy, pinky toned lipsticks as I think darker shades are so much easier to wear. However I think I am going to step out my comfort zone and try the plum coloured lipstick (107). It looks beautiful but I am terrified of it! A lot of beauty bloggers I follow are wearing these dark plum coloured lip products and suit it so much but I am so unsure if my skin tone will suit it. I think I have talked myself into trying it out though! I will post how I get on and a picture if it doesn't make  me too scary and gothic.... ah well, at least it will be in keeping with Halloween next week! 

Here is the lipstick collection, give it a look... they are beautiful looking! 


   
  Well Kate suits 107!


Super cute packaging! :)

A few swatches, so gorg!
