Nylon Hair Ties!

A couple of months ago I read @isobelmeg's Under £10 Winter Gift Guide blog post containing silk hair ties and became instantly interested in the idea. I have wanted to purchase some for a while now as I have to spend a majority of my time with my hair tied up for work and find ordinary "bobbles" drag my hair and are just uncomfortable to wear.

I never got around to purchasing the products though the website linked from Meg's blog post but I luckily came across nylon versions in Claire's Accessories. They were in the sale section and I purchased two packs for £2.50 each (usually £3, which is still a bargain) each pack contains 4 hair ties and after my first full day of  wearing the bright pink one I knew I had to write about them.

I don't think I am ever going to return to wearing ordinary hair ties, as non of them even compare to these hair ties. These nylon beauties...
  • ...don't drag on the hair and don't pull any strands out whatsoever.
  • ...don't leave nasty unpleasant kinks in your hair after removing.
  • ...look cute, like you've simply tied a ribbon in your hair, Matilda-style.
  • ...are comfortable to wear, they don't tug from the roots which can normally give you a really sore scalp.

If you hadn't guessed already, I would definitely recommend these hair ties, especially to those who require having their hair tied up for long periods! Unfortunately, I can't find them on the Claire's website, but if you're interested to purchase some the place I bought mine from had loads in stock so check in your nearest store, they should have them in.

Empties November 2014!

Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau De Parfum no.15 After receiving a sample of this perfume with my purchase of the Cleanse and Polish I knew I had to purchase the full size 50ml version, as I had never come across such an endearing smell. I would definitely say this is an autumn/winter fragrant and as I am awful at describing perfumes and their “notes”, I would recommend anyone to pop to a Liz Earle concession and give this a smell. I have heard this perfume be likened to Viktor and Rolf’s Spicebomb, but after smelling both I definitely think the L.E. perfume is nicer! Overall 10/10 Would I buy again? YES! & Other Stories Body Lotion in Moroccan Tea The first time I had ever been to an & Other Stories store was this year in February and everything about the brand blew me away! I am in love with their accessories, clothing and beauty range! I originally came across a soap bar of this Moroccan Tea scent in the store and as I was about to purchase it I noticed the b...

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...
