Review - SKIN79 BB cream



This is the first BB cream I have tried and although is not my exact skin tone it still suits me as a tinted moisturiser. There is a pump dispenser mechanism which is always a plus on any foundations etc. You get 40g of product which is a lot and I only use a small amount for my entire face. I have the pink one but I believe the gold one is for dry skin perhaps. I do have dry skin but I usually sort that out with my moisturiser before I apply this over. It has a slight scent but will disappear after a while. Smells a little floral thats all. Very difficult to find but try amazon or ebay etc but make sure the seller is authentic.

Review - NEW Bodyshop rainforest moisture hair butter

This hair butter is part of bodyshops new hair range called Rainforest and it is a deep conditioning treatment for damaged hair. It can be washed out after use but I like to use it as a finishing product, so when i am done styling my hair i add this to the ends to keep it smooth. The smell is my favourite part of this, its like a tropical paradise! Its quite creamy so a little goes a long way. I use this only when i have my hair naturally wavy because if I used it on straight hair it might weigh it down, I gotta save the volume lol. Anyways I lovee this!


DIY hair styling - Sea salt tousling spray

Having looked around quite a bit in the market for sea salt sprays there don't seem to be that many available, some which I have tried have been good but if you would like an easy solution then here is a cute recipe :) Sea salt spray is used to give texture and create slight waves in your hair to give that beachy vibe. I like to use a hair crimper then spray this in to add to the style. Its really simple because you can use any brands of products you already own...

You need - Boiling hot water, sea salt, leave in conditioner and rosewater as an optional bonus.
I have used avon leave in conditioner because I just love the smell of it so much! All you have to do is dissolve the salt in the water then add as much of the rosewater and conditioner as you like and you are done. Just pour into a spray bottle and its ready to use on your hair. Enjoy :)
