John Frieda Frizz Curl Around Style

I tend to always straighten my hair and rarely have the energy to curl it - it takes agggessss and then never lasts the whole day. I've not really tried hair curling products before, but when given the opportunity (by BzzAgent) to try some from the John Frieda range I thought I'd give it a go and see if they would work as a styling agent, at the very least.

These products are meant to enhance your curls and keep them frizz free! I got both a shampoo and conditioner, as well as a heat defense spray which all aim to do the same thing. My hair is normally straight, with a slight wavyness to it. It's very thick too, which is why it takes so long to curl it all.

March Favourites

This month has been whizzing by so quickly! I didn't realise it was so long since I last blogged! I thought I would write a blog post on my favourite products this month. I have accumulated quite a few new products this month and some of them have made it to this list already.

So one of the products I have bought recently is the W7 blusher - this product has been raved about quite a bit and I can understand why now. It doesn't provide great colour, but it does give the skin a really nice glow. It has a shimmering effect, which looks lovely over a pinky blusher. The brush included is so soft too - I will write a full product review on this soon! This cost around £3.99 and I ordered it from Xtras.com.

Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream

To be honest I'm not fully sure what the difference is between a BB cream and a CC cream. Even now comparing my Maybelline BB cream to the new Bourjois CC cream, I'm not sure how they compare in terms of overall appearance on the skin. Saying that, I have really loved using this Bourjois CC cream and it has certainly met my expectations.

This CC cream has three colour correcting pigments, which are meant to give a fresh and luminous result. It contains apricot for anti-fatigue, green for anti-redness and white for anti-dark spots. It also has SPF 15 and provides 24hr hydration. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer Review

A few months back I sadly lost my Benefit Fake Up concealer, which I'm still really annoyed about, as I really liked the coverage it gave and it cost £18.50! I really didn't fancy spending another £18.50 on the same concealer and so I decided to try Rimmel's Match Perfection Illuminating concealer, which is a lot cheaper at £5.99. 

This concealer is aimed to help conceal signs of fatigue. It should illuminate and highlight the eye area, giving the appearance that you're wide awake! The product only comes in three shades; ivory, soft beige and classic beige. I have ivory - which is a perfect match for my skin tone.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Review

I put my hair through quite a bit with using my hair dryer and straighteners at least once every other day. It can become quite dry at times and I do get worried about getting split ends. I have used Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends shampoo and conditioner before and really loved the smell and the result from using it and so the other week I decided to try this intensive hair mask from the same range. It is designed for dry and damaged hair.

There are two types you can buy - one which you leave in your hair and the other which you wash out after 5 minutes. I decided to get the one which you wash out, as I'm not too sure I like the idea of leaving a conditioner in my hair.

HD Brows Grow Baby Grow

(Currently £14.98 on HDBrows.com)

The battle with my eyebrows has been going on since secondary school, when I realised that my big bushy brows were not cool at school and decided to get my hands on some tweezers! I think quite a lot of us girls go through the phase of over-plucking our brows and just not realising it, until we look back at photos. I was definitely someone who over-plucked - and now my brows are quite sparse and in some parts just refusing to grow back.

I decided to give HD Brows Grow Baby Grow a try, as it seemed quite promising from some of the reviews I read. Normal price, it's quite a lot of money (£29.95) but I thought if it works then it's worth it.

January 2014 Glossybox Review

I decided in December that the January Glossybox was going to be the last box that I received from my subscription. I had some glossy points to use up and so I didn't have to pay for this month's one - and I am SO glad that I didn't pay for it, as I reckon it's the worst box I have received since joining over a year ago.

I don't think I'm the only one who was disappointed this month - in fact the best thing about the Glossybox this month was the box itself! And the lovely ribbon!
