Favourites - January

Hey everyone , today's blog is brought to you by .... Me !

We are talking Favs of January 2014 !! So we are into the first month of the year , well I say that it's nearly over and while some of us have been detoxing , dieting & generally trying to get things in order from the past year , I've been experimenting with different products to determine what's right & wrong for me for this year , with that ive come by my favourites for this month although some will probably be used throughout the year. So here we go !

First off hair ....

(Left to right)
Argan Oil hair shampoo , Argan oil conditioner, Argan oil hair mask & Argan oil heat protective spray.
All of the above products were bought for under £5 !!! Bargain right ?!?
Despite their small price tag these are of great quality , making your hair super smooth& manageable and in my opinion I have the worst type of hair Afro Caribbean frizzy everywhere apart from my ends which are right curls, and sometimes it can be a nightmare to manage , I really cannot recommend these products enough they help a lot so for anyone who has corse , frizzy, unmanageable hair add these to your hair routine (you can thank me later). 

Next is bath&body ....
 

Johnson's be fresh & retreat body wash , Wilkinson sword intuition razor (sensitive)
Pretty self explanatory products but are the best for me by far , the body wash because of its sweet almost tropical smell & the fact it leaves my skin feeling so slinky soft. The razor because it's has a soap bar fitted around the actually razor head. I find it very hard to find razors and shaving foam or soap that doesn't leave my skin feeling harsh/ sore but this is the perfect combination for me.

Next is face ....

Dermalogica clear start foaming wash & Yu-Be mouisturizing Cream.
I received these in my subscription beauty box (glossybox) , both of these have been repurchased as I don't think I could live without them now ! The dermalogica has a very citrus-y smell , after applying leaves my skin feeling all refreshed. Then I would apply the Yu-be cream at first it goes on like any other cream , but after a while became almost gel like while it was sinking into my skin but when left overnight you can guarentee you will wake up with the softest face you have ever know..... One more thing about this product is that it says you can use it on lips , I would recommend against that I tried it on my lips when the were becoming sore but not chapped/cracked and within an hour they were really sore and red but may not be like that for everyone just a heads up! 

Next is fragrances ....

Dove anti-persprant roll on , impulse very pink & Christian lacroix Nuit perfume
The roll one is one of my favs because of its smell , sounds silly but it smells fresh and creamy and is so kind to my underarms totally a fav or anti persprant.
Impulse body spray great for spray yourself or putting a spritz on your clothes smelling of roses& grapefruits I think this is a great smell for teens,tween and anything in between.
Ok now onto the perfume , I have an obsession with perfumes I just seem to collect them, this one is from my high street side (Avon) and it's great the smell last at least 8 hours and was only around £10 so all in all had to be a fav!

Next My go to make up .....

Rimmel 1000 kisses lip stain , cheap DIY palette, beauty uk cc cream (biscuit), maybelline cover stick concealer , maxi moisture lipstick (how do I look?), maybelline cherry candy (550) lipstick, magnifibres mascara & maybelline the falsies.
As a mum of 3 little babies I need to have a small selection of make up to go to when I'm doing the school run or errands and this is it , although there are a few within this selection that I will pick for the school run over others I.e. I will use the maxi moisture lipstick (pink) instead of the others for a few reasons with the red lipstick I feel to over dressed and the lip stain is too drying on its own. The magnifibres is just for lengthining& fullness and then a coat of the falsies makes a natural look for every day use.

So there you have it my favs for January ! If there is anything that anyone wants reviewed in detail please ask leave questions and I will see you all very soon xox

Mermaid blue hair & What I did ?!

Hey guys this post is going to be all about my new fantastic mermaid purple-y blue hair & what I did to get there from having very darkest brown roots and mid lengths to reddish brown mid lengths and tips. Ok to start off this was my hair before I started  Although it doesn't look how I've described I promise you it was ... I had been to my hairdressers and she worked her magic !  Ok so my method was to not was my hair or put any products on for at least 2 days ! Any one with Afro English hair like me knows how hard that is to do !  Anyhooo so when your ready I wore an old top that I wasn't afraid of getting manky and an old towel too as they will be a state when your finished.  Then I sectioned my hair into a hot cross bun style so you have your four equal sections , I started to sort of my bleaching stuff and this is what I use.
