New Hair Care Routine

Hello Girls,

This time of the year I like to change my hair care. From the Summer my hair has split and been frizzy and unmanageable. 

For the past 4 weeks I have tested and tried all these products and and am very happy to say they all work. I bought these with my own money, in BOOTS, on a 3for2 deal and am glad I did. 

So what are they might you ask and how do I use them, well read on.....

From left to right!

Tresemme Keratin Smooth, 7 day System, Scwarzkopf Got2b Argan Oil tame and shine and Garnier Ulimate Blends Silky Smoother Vanilla Milk and Papaya.

I really find these work wonders for my hair and as a combo are fantastic.

Want me to tell you how to use them and what they do? Course you do!

At first I use the Garnier Ulimate Blends Shampoo with Vanilla Milk and Papaya, 

This shampoo is targeted for Mid-long hair with split ends, which fits in my category. It smells devine. I dunno if anyone remembers the HB Maxi Twist Ice Creams, well it smells like the lime side of that. So it has hit childhood memories with that and I love it. It is has that milky feeling but is not too runny, it really lathers well and my hair feels so clean and boosted. In some shampoos I get a build up of residue on the mid part on my hair but this did not do that and it really tames the hair and helps flatten them split ends. The scent stays in my hair for hours and the next day. It has made my hair feel fresh and it feels like a luxury. I would recommend this if you have long hair and need taming. 

Next after shampooing, I move onto my saviour! I mentioned on a recent post about the Keratin Steam Pods, well this is a home dupe and it really works. Tresemme Keratin Smooth, 7day System, is the best new hair product I have seen. We all loose keratin when we dye out hair, use heat products, use harsh shampoos and in the environment. So we need to replace it. This is a heat activated treatment that is sealed by your straighteners. The smell is like stepping out of a salon, which I love. It lasts through 4 washes and really defrizzes and smoothes your hair. With the shampoo, its like I have no split ends. I towel dry my hair and section it into three, I apply 3 pea sizes to each section and then 2 all over. It says at first to apply 8-10 pumps and then comb through, brow drying. I will do all that but you will not need to do this until 4 washes again or else like me you know them ends or frizz will come back I apply 3 pumps all over the hair and then blowdry. After this section the hair and straighten a small piece at a time 3-4 times, this is to seal the product. If you need something extra do try this.

Finally, once all that is done I use, Schwarzkopf Got2B Tame and Shine Oil. I like to use this as a serum or to tie down them fly aways. It is really light on the hair and doesnt not make my hair greasy one bit. You can use this as a pre wash for extra treatment and care, a pre styling on damp hair or a finishing product on dry hair. I use it as my finishing touch and a little goes a long way. A pea size all over is just enough for me. You can use it daily, but I find it lasts me till my next wash.

I really love this new routine, I am coming close to the end of my shampoo and will be repurchasing. 

I bought all these products with my own money and am not sponsored.

I if you have a question or tip, please let me know!

PAINT IT PINK!

Hello Lady!

image google search and Cosmopolitan

Seeing PINK everywhere? 

This is because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 

In aid of this month, we have the opportunity to wear PINK boldly so raise awareness, to CHECK yourself regularly and to support the people battling this horrible disease. 

Today is PAINT IT PINK! A day where you share your photos and Pinkness and DONATE !!

You can share your Pics on Twitter with the TAG #PINKPICS...

In this case on FRIDAYS WE WEAR PINK!

If you are stuck on what to wear or how to wear it, as most of us are not into our brights. You can go LOUD AND PROUD or Subtle and still make an impact on the day and the whole month!

Here are some ideas on how to PAINT IT PINK!

Shoes!

What girl doesnt love there shoes, but if you work as a teacher or in an office and care tied down to the pencil skirt and blazer, why not add the touch of pink on your feet.

These ones are from New Look and wont break the bank with them under €25. You will wear these over and over and great of an night out all through October.

Clothing!

Whether its out with the girls for lunch, the pub for a few drinks or a night out on the tiles tonight. Kimonos are still in trend, so popping this one from ASOS, with a pair of skinnys and a tank top or a LBD will make you pop. I nice nod to the PINK!

Accessories!

I love my stash of accessories, they always glam up or make my outfits complete and tie together. One I seen on Xpose and in the latest U magazine was a bracelet from StellaDot. Simple but will the little elephants, it makes it fun and sweet. 

Called the Strength bracelet, which is very fitting for the cause, it comes in at €39. 20% of the retail price goes to Breakthough Breast Cancer. So not only will you be wearing pink but supporting it by buying it. Can be worn alone or in a bunch with your other bangles and bracelets.

Makeup!

Lastly, if you havent money to spend on new items, why not look through your makeup bag for a pink lippy, pink blush or pink nail polish. Again, if afraid of colour, this will be a good way to dip your toe in the colour and also raise awareness.

My favourite PINK!

MAC Girl About Town €19.50

It is so important that we raise this awareness among us women and to check ourselves. 

To DONATE €4, text...

PINK to 50300

So Whats been happening?

Hello Ladies!

I guess your thinking, well stranger! Where have you been these past weeks?

Well, I moved!

Myself and my Boyfriend finally, moved into a rented house together, and are delighted. 

Only downside, lack of Internet coverage on certain networks, so I was isolated from the world of media and social networking for a while, but I am back.

Although our current internet situation isn't ideal, plans are being made to fix that, but I am not complaining. 

I hope you are doing well, and that you havent lost faith in me!

Currently I am tooked up in my bed, listening the wind outside, its a stormy one tonight. Cosys on and curled up is the best feeling in the world. Makes Autumn/Winter a little special. Cooler days with sun and windy or crisp nights, my heaven. I know people will hate the sight of the season, but for someone who has allergies to pollen and asthma, I am glad to see the change. 

I have no further news really to report. Will be stirring up my blog in the coming weeks, with some Halloween looks on the lead up, some gift ideas for xmas and some other series posts. I will continue DUPE FRIDAYS, as alot of you seem to enjoy them. 

Any posts you want to see please let me know, and I have gotten some great ideas for Halloween so please get in touch if you fancy me recreating one.

I am only a click away....
