Highstreet Sweet Highstreet

1.    Jeffrey Campbell Lita I think these would be perfect for going out down town in the winter as they’d definitely keep feet warm, and would look cute paired with a pair of lace socks (number 3.). Although £120 seems quite expensive, I think you definitely get your money’s worth as they seem quite hardwearing. The raised platform also means the shoes aren’t as uncomfortable as they look, as the feet won’t be at such a harsh angle. www.office.co.uk   2.    Topshop Faux Fur Collar I’ve noticed these in stores everywhere and will definitely be purchasing one soon! They add lovely detail to any jacket/coat, especially leather. This specific one from Topshop is £35, but they can be purchased anywhere from H&M to Matalan from just £6, but make sure you get a soft faux fur as some can be very harsh and irritate your neck. www.topshop.com   3.    Wine Organza Trim Ankle Socks These laced top socks are perfect for ...

Hello! So I've realised this blog doesn't yet have a proper introduction, so I thought I might as well introduce it here. My name is Julia and for years I have adored watching beauty gurus on YouTube and reading their blogs to find the best new products around and to gain advice on the application of make up. I have a huge interest in beauty brands and feel I now know just enough to be able to review and enlighten others on certain products. My blog has recently had a name change to "HighstreetSweetHighstreet" as I'm going to mention mainly drugstore/highstreet products rather than high end products.

So, before I give you the lowdown of this product, I thought I would give you a bit of background about my hair. This is just so you know if I say anything positive/negative about this product, it could just be referring to the effects of my specific hair type. I have VERY curly hair, which is a nightmare to tame daily. Whether it is straightened with GHDs (where I make sure heat protection is used) or left to naturally dry, I seem to have split ends. I don’t straighten my hair that much anymore, but did abuse it in my early teens (13-15) which I regret immensely, and feel the dried-out-ness was un-repairable... Then I caught sight of the remarkable reviews of this product... Beauty gurus on YouTube constantly have this product in their “Beauty Favourites” or “Haircare Routine” videos and rave, rave, rave about it, to the point where I considered ordering it for full price from an online store. I decided not to do this as I never really purchase “high end” hair products and t...
