Review - Pantene pro-V colour seal concentrate
This is targeted to be a deep conditioning treatment for hair that has been coloured and also to help maintain the colour. I was quite disappointed in that it just felt like a normal conditioner and after I dyed my hair I didn't notice it holding in my colour all that much either. Also it is a very small amount of product that you get, which could be useful for travel but as far as use for medium-long hair it is quite little. Smells nice just like most pantene products but overall I would pass on it in my opinion.

Review - BIO OIL
I bought this product a month ago to see if it could help with the dry skin on my face, and the only thing I can say about it is that this is a product for the first time that has seriously worked for dryness on my face! I don't think I could go a day without it now because it is the perfect base for my moisturiser (bodyshop carrot moisture cream). Also it has majorly helped clear the majority of my acne, this is literally the longest time my skin has been kept clear. I find that I can go ahead and use plenty of different face products and my skin still stays clear. This was a huge plus point because I love trying new products out. Not only that but it reduced the itchyness and hyperpigmentation from previous acne too! It makes foundation glide on a lot easier and gives a dewy finish my fave. If you have very oily skin then perhaps this could only work as a treatment for night times as it can show over excess skin oil. I would definitely definitely recommend this to anyone :)

Review - Tresemme salon professional hot rollers
I got these hot rollers for my birthday from my parents, they work a charm for adding volume to the crown section of my hair. Unlike most heated rollers they are larger so create looser waves and volume which is what I wanted because I already have curly hair. There are 5 included in the kit and come with the hair clamps that keep them in place. The cons of this product are that it takes a while to heat up so you need to switch them on in advance if you are in a hurry. The curls only last for that day and so hair is easy to restyle the next day. The packaging is compact so should fit your vanity table comfortably.

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 :)
