Cheap and Cheerful

I have been a lover of the Aussie conditioners for a few years now especially the 3 minute miracle one, but recently my mum picked up the Alberto Balsam conditioner from our local Tesco's and i have been really impressed! 

I have always scanned past the Alberto Balsam range when looking for hair products because if im completely honest for 99p, YES 99P, i didn't think it would be amazing.  But i was completely wrong.

   

Ok so this smells BEAUTIFUL if you love the smell of coconut then literally get up now and buy this.  It lingers in your hair after its dry and i just swish my hair round all day and its great :) haha.

One of the other main factors which really surprised me about this product is how soft and nourished my hair feels after using it.  I have used more expensive conditioners than this and they haven't left me with the softness this gives.

On the back of the bottle it quotes 'It uses most of the ingredients you'll find in higher priced brands but at a great price'  (Which i didn't actually notice until i was taking these pictures).  So that's always a plus and for 99p you cant go wrong!  I really think the quality of this conditioner is amazing and the smell i can happily agree is heavenly.

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth

Hello guys :) feel like i haven't blogged in ages! i have been enjoying the lovely sunshine we've been having and i have literally been making them most of it sunbathing everyday haha. 

Anyway I wanted to talk about a nail treatment by Sally Hansen i have been really loving.

Up to the age of about 14 i have to shamelessly admit i bit my nails, i then decided i wanted to stop and have healthy long nails.  As easy as it sounds it really wasn't, I stopped biting my nails and when they got to a certain length they would just break off, they were very weak and brittle.  

I saw this in boots and thought id give it ago, it says to apply a fresh coat daily and will help make your nails more flexible so this will prevent it your nails just snapping off.

I have seen results using this product my nails are defiantly more flexible, they have grown (not to a length i am satisfied with yet BUT there is an improvement)  This drys extremely quick which is always a plus, i apply this on my bare nails then apply a colour and then i use it as a top coat and it works great and helps the colour from chipping.  If you do have weak/ thin nails i would recommend this it does make your nails stronger and just look healthier :)

Also i will add this bottle has lasted me ages and was only around £4 something.

Macs Hey Sailor Collection | Sail La Vie lipstick

Iv never bought anything from any of Macs collections in the past as nothings ever really catched my eye, but i'm a sucker for packaging so i went to my nearest Mac counter to check it out.  
I was drew to this lipstick immediately, its like nothing i have in my little collection.

                                                                      (Without flash)

                                                                     (With flash)

I would describe it as an orangy red, i have always been afraid of wearing orange tones on my lips but this is so pretty on and i think would look gorge in the summer and with a bit of a tan.
It a Satin finished so its not completely matte it does have a bit of sheen which i really like, i wore this yesterday and the wear is really good i would say it lasts for a good 5 hours and it does leave a slight stain so you can tell its got good staying power.
I bought this for £14.00 which is 50p more than your average Mac lipstick probably because of the packaging.

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Other than foundations and lipsticks, Bronzer is a make-up must for me.  I wear it every single day, it makes me look alive, healthy and of course lovely and tanned, so of course i had to splurge on the most talked about bronzer that is Nars Laguna Bronzer.
I have used my Bourjois Chocolate bronzer to death and i still absolutely love it, but i still couldn't resist. 
I bought it from Space NK in Chester , which by the way i had the best service in there all the ladies were really helpful and lovely :) Funny thing is i originally went in there to get a sample of the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, but she told me they did not do samples and offered to apply it there and then and see how i liked.  I agreed, to be honest i wasn't that blown away but i do prefer when i can apply the foundation my self and also there were lots of artificial lighting in there i couldn't really make a good judgment.  But ANYWAY she then applied some bronzer and when i found out she used Laguna i died.

I really love the packaging,(when you have first bought it haha), because after that it just gets marked when you touch it as its a rubber material, it also has a great big mirror inside.

Ok so i bought this bronzer for £25.00 , yes i agree its expensive, but i am sure this will last me a very long time, and we all deserve a treat now and again. ;) i apply it using a slightly angled brush.
The colour of this is gorge, its brown with tiny tiny gold shimmers throughout but you defiantly do not look like a disco ball after applying. 
It honestly does make me feel better after iv applied it, i feel 'glowy' and bronzed, i would re-purchase and i would recommend :)
