Stop !!! I didnt mean it

Oh my gosh , i take it back !!

What am i talking about ?

Well my post about boots hair, skin and nails tablets.
To be honest im glad i wasnt raving about them, as i said i was so so about em, but as always i kept using them, one a day like i was instructed too but then about a week or so ago i started to feel tired all the time dizzy and just lifeless and i was certain i was sick but when i went to my doctor he asked are you taking any thing different/ medication and i told him about the tablets he just advised me too stop taking them and come back in a couple of weeks so like he told me i didnt take any and now i feel absoloutly fine ...
You do the math,

So as much as i desire long hair ill have to sit tight and wait for it
damm ,

But is this the end of my battle for long hair quick ?
Err i dont think so !

you may or may not know that i live in Spain
and in Spain summer nights are hell
its far too hot too sleep and maybe I'm insane but i always sleep with some kind of cover on whether its a duvet or a sheet ...

Boots hair,skin and nails capsules

These are tablets said to make your hair grow faster, your nails much stronger
and your skin in better condition...

sounds great right ?

they come in 30 capsule pots and are 4.99



well ive been taking these since january this year and i think they work
maybe its in my head
but im sure my nails are stronger and my hair has grown.

Now that could be because its been 6 months since my last hair cut..
and im sure thats a possibility

they contain biotin and evening primrose oil things that naturaly improve hair and nails
this is what the boots website says
"Boots Skin Hair and Nails Capsules is a multivitamins and mineral food supplement with evening primrose oil and biotin.

Boots Skin Hair and Nails Capsules contains a wide range of ingredients that work together to help maintain:



■healthy skin
■hair
■nails


Specifically, evening primrose oil helps maintain healthy skin and biotin helps to build the proteins in healthy hair and nails."

as you can probly tell im not sure about this product dont love them dont hate them
but i keep buying them all the same..

have you tried any hair growth tablets ?
did they work for you ?

Recent shampoo and conditioner combos

I have a serious issue with shampoos and conditioner
I'm always finding new combos to try out

My hair is very frizzy and dry so i use a lot of products
i haven't used all these products yet so in a few months ill do a full review on them but for now ill be telling you my expectations for the products and
the ones i have tried

unfortunately i cant say the exact prices because they are drugstore brands and different in every store
I'm going to start with the ones i haven't used yet



this is Alberto balsam shampoo and conditioner i got this from a corner shop for 1.50 for the both of them the duo is called sun kissed
and on the wrapper it says

"the sun kissed raspberry conditioner will give your hair a refreshing burst of moisture and leave your hair feeling and smelling fabulous.
it uses most of the ingredients you'll find in expensive brands but at a great price which means you can afford to look glamorous every day".

as said before i haven't used this yet but i did buy the pomegranate one and i like that BTW this product smells amazing

next up are OMG shampoo and conditioner
i got these from Iceland for £1.25 each

sadly i cannot find a picture of these anywhere :(
but that's okay because the packaging is boring anyway
the quote on this is

"your hairs in for a treat !!!
this replenishing conditioner will help re moisturise damaged hair leaving it looking strong and healthy"

this doesn't really have a smell just smells plain to take that into consideration

next up is Schwarzkopf ( yay i spelled it ) supersoft yogurt and berries smoothie shampoo and conditioner



I'm really excited about these mainly because they smell like yogurt and berries yummy
but also because this is for coloured hair
AND !!! because i like the quote...

"supersofts rich and creamy yogurt smoothie shampoos contain yogurt protein.
supersoft shampoo strenghtens the hair ,improving its texture and making it silky smooth"

and the last of my will get round to it eventually combos is sunsilk silky and straight shampoo and conditioner


" for hair that tends to kink orr frizz "
" sunsilk silky and straight conditioner,
enriched with satin proteins, will help smooth your hair along its whole length,
leaving it fabulously sleek and shiny"

enough said

now i am currently using ....


herbal essences seductively straight silk and shine shampoo and conditioner

the quote "lets get one thing straight ..your hair ,
feel me smooth out your misbehaving stands.
head straight for the herbal school of seduction.
lesson 1 -my captivating shampoo helps tame hair into a sleek line of shine

lesson 2- my creamy formula, with silk extract helps get full marks for silk touch and gloss."
mm mm i love it,
smells great feels great make my hair shiny soft and smell yummy
BUT does it make my hair straight ? err no !
so very sad but the ultimate question will i repurchase ? not for a while but yes i will :)

tell me would you buy this ?
have you tried it ?
if so what do you think ?
and which combos would you recommend ?

Tips and tricks of the month ( june)

-I heard on tv that to stop mosquito bites you should eat marmite in the morning
personally marmite is really gross but neverless i tried and ...... It worked they were mosiess every
where but i didnt get one bite
- the longer your eyebrows are the smaller your nose looks
- When waxing you can use oil to remove the left over wax
- if your jawline is longer than two inches ( ear lobe to middle of chin)Long hair will suit you and visa versa
- to make nails really shiny and smooth use a buffer
- if you heat up eyeliner in your hand for 30 seconds or so before application
it will go on smoother
- to give your face more dimension use two shades of blusher
the lightest at the back of your cheekbones the darkest on your cheeks but blend at middle of cheekbone and blend well
- if your lips are naturally dark use a concealer then blot them with powder then apply light shade of lipstick.
- if you have oily skin use blotting papers on your nose and forehead to remove oil
if your about to pop a spot use a strerilized needle because your hands are full of bacteria and sweat even if you wash them the bacteria will get in your spot and cause either infection or it will just grow back

Thats it for june

thats all i picked up

Elf makeup brushes

I went on the elf website and saw theese brushes they retail at £1.50 each but
you can buy them in sets however i bought them separately
and im going to tell you honestly exactly what i thought about them
ill start with the face brushes

Elf professional foundation brush
I really dont like this it clogs with foundation after one swipe then sticks together in 3 or
4 clumps i have no idea how this is " professional " at all
really please do not buy this

elf professional total face brush
i really like the red colour of the bristles
its really pretty but this brush is really big and
i dont know what anyone would use it for
ive had theese brushes for about a month and
the bristles are fraying and flying everywhere
its quite soft to touch so overall im not sure on this one

elf professional bronzing brush.
it has the same colouring of the total face brush so thats cute
and it has an angled edge but it is a bit rough and dosent pick up colour evenly
but i use it everyday for contouring and it works well

then we are onto the eye brushes

Elf professional smudge eye sponge
well its really hard and it hurts to put near my eye so that is pretty useless
it dosent smudge well at all so really this is useless
i dont hate it but i wish i didnt buy it

elf professional eye shadow brush
i love this brush the bristles are really short so it holds lots of eye shadow
feels lovely and soft i really think eberyone should get one

elf professional blending eye brush
i love this brush too
really soft and blends well and it also makes
a gorgues sharp edge to a smokey eye
they are all the brushes i bought and i may get more
soon so ill be updating on that

See you soon xxx

In's and out's

Firstly in's :

summer, yeah this is pretty obvious but finally summer is fast approching
which means holidays, sunburn if your lucky, beaches and ice cream
sounds pretty good ey ?

Bright colours, dresses, shoes, headbands anything you can get in a neon pink

wavy summer hair, im feeling that poker straight hair has lost its trend and big wavy "beach hair" is really in this season

coral lips, again with the beach theme the orange pink colours show off a tan really well

Out''s

Clip in hair extensions, big bulky fake looking extensions just dont look nice anymore whereas last year
they were all the rage but now when i see them i feel phiscally sick please women if you want
longer hair get real extensions or do the unthinkable... Grow it

ugg boots, im sad to see them go and i love them but maybe theyll be back next winter :)

thats all i can think of so far so see yall layer xxx

Lush favourite

For those who dont know lush is a bath/shower company everything is organic and envirorment friendly
and at the least i could say its one of my favourite shops, this is a review of just a few lush products

Upside: first off " space girl bath ballistic" this i think is from the retro range its a bath bomb the shape of a flying saucer with sparkles of
purple glitter everywhere i love this it smells of blueberrys and blackcurrent and sugar all in one sniff its very addictive and very
sweet so if sweet smells dont do anything for you this will most likely not be the one
for you.
down side: When i put this in the bath i was exeptcing something amazing and magical and to be
honest that is not what i got at all, it sort of hit the water then dissapeared it didnt leave a very strong fragrence
and the water had no change execpt from a slight liliac tint that lasted all of 5 mins
price: i think this was £1.80

this is a "comforter bubble bar" used to make bubbles like a bubble bath gel but this is in soild form,
upside: smells like blackcurrent, blubberies basically super dooper sweet and berryie :) well this huge
i broke it into 6 good sized pecies and thats 6 baths in one item even though the website says to break.
into 2, it made my bath go a gorgues bright pink and it filled the room with its sugary smell and to fit the
name i certantly did feel as if there was a big blanket wrapped round me i was certainly " comforted"
downside: i dont think ive said this yet about anything but honestly for me there was no downsides at all
price: £3.99

then here we have it the ooh so popular rockstar soap
upside: smells like a sweet shop theres no better way to describe the scent than that,
it can be cut off to any size you want i normally get the 100 g small blocks and i cut them into
3 i use these in the shower and scent lingers on my body

Downside: lush soap dont lather well at all for instance this would not work at all for shaving your legs
or having that " im shampooing my body " feel and maybe that wont bother you but
for me i like being in a big fluffy sweet shop smelling nest of clouds
price: around £3.00 depends on the exact weight.
