New Health Supplement Regime

Recently I started taking some other supplements alongside my vitamin C tabs, they are not medically related and I wanted to try them out to see if they helped my body in general. So I had a mini Iherb.com and Holland & Barrett trip...

Vitamin C chewy tablets
Sea kelp tablets
Natures plus papaya enzyme chewables

May - June 2012 Favourites

Hey guys seems like its been a while since I have uploaded a favourites post...but here it is in its full summer glory!! I have been loving these products in the build up to my favourite season...

Design Line Olive oil leave in conditioner - Smells clean and fresh, works well for when I want to leave my hair curly. The best part about it is its texture...smooth, creamy yet almost like a serum cream!

Clinique Chubby stick in Pudgy Peony - This product is as cute as its name, a lovely raspberry shade with a moisturising formula. Lovely even to put on without using a mirror.

Lush skin drink facial moisturiser - Fabulous for dry flaky skin! I especially enjoy it as a night cream, however definitely not for those of you who have oily skin types as it is a heavy duty moisturiser.

Lanes Health tea tree and witch hazel cream - MY FAVOURITE acne product up to date, it stings but clears up the redness by the time I wake up in the morning! LOVE IT.

ELF blushed and bronzing powder duo - lovely soft blush of a coral shade and perfectly blendable bronzer, a great kit for everyday and on the go application. Nice packaging too :)

HAUL: Bath time and hand care

This was a small yet useful haul! I spent the day with a lovely friend of mine and also got some great stuff.
My new found love for lounging around in comfy bathrobes - sorted by this Yves Delorme (Paris) bath robe. Thought it was a spa appropriate colour, a lovely pastel/mint green with large pockets to warm up with. The best thing is the material, a towel fabric which is great for drying off in after relaxing showers.

Bronnley Lime and Bergamot conditioning hand cream - It had an interesting serum like texture with a scent that I just loved instantly. Sort of like a zesty woody smell. It mentions that it is a hand cream but I have used it on my body so far and enjoyed it just as much.

Herbacin Wuta Kamille + Glycerine hand cream - I bought this for my hand bag since especially in the colder months I tend to get dry bits between my fingers and my hands in general. Its a lovely thick moussey texture that soaks in fast and it has a gently almost baby like smell :)

Review : Nuxe Huile prodigieuse

I have really enjoyed using this Product it makes my hair soft and manageable without weighing it down and making it look greasy...an unappealing look we all try hard to avoid haha I received the sample size version in a glossy box and it's lasted me ages and I've barely made a dent in it. It is an oil meant for face body or hair, I particularly recommend it for your legs it leaves them soft, smelling good and with that hint of golden shimmer! I have seen the full size available in spaceynk which is a delight since its relatively easy to access in the uk or online. Recommended !

Review: Oliva pure olive oil soap

This was purchased at a local health food store and has turned out to be a great facial soap for my dry skin. Most soap bars strip moisture from my skin, however this left my skin strangely soft! It has a clean yet olive like scent and the downside is that it does sting your eyes and so cannot be used as eye make up remover. I keep it in my shower caddy and use it in the morning to cleanse my face. I wish this soap came in a liquid form, it would be easier to travel with. Packaging was cute and simple, not the most eye catching but got the message across.

Review: Celestial Crowns shower caps

I received these shower caps or shall I say brilliant shower 'crowns' to review, and was absolutely thrilled with the idea that shower caps could be made in larger sizes for those of us wanting to preserve hair style or have thicker longer hair. To me a very simple yet innovative concept. 

Now, they do come in different sizes and I got the opportunity to try medium, large and extra large. Let me tell you something the size of them all is impressive ! On the website there are many cute patterns and colours to choose from within the range of different sizes from small to XL. So depending on what type of hair you have there is something available for everyone. Recently also several new patterns 

The medium sized one here is in the style - Peace N' Love. It features a gorgeous purple organza detailing around the rim! This being the first one I tried out, I thought it was nice and felt secure around my head. However slightly on the smaller side for me because when I style my hair curly I prefer not to squish the style :) It would be good for short to medium length hair, but more on the shorter side. 

This large size is in the style - Please don't worry...Its a simple clear material with a fun smiley face pattern, certainly entertaining in your shower ;P In terms of comfort even though they are all rate highly, this was my favourite since it was slighlty less tight around my head. In terms of sizing, this is the ideal size for me. Not too large and so great for medium to long hair styles!

Finally this extra large size is in my favourite style - Shower up. I ADORE the pattern, its got pictures of brushes and soap on it with a frosted background so it conveys shower time to me perfectly! It also features a lovely mint green organza trim and let me tell you this is by the most fun one to wear because I just cannot describe how extravagantly large the size is!!!! Its perfect for those gals with luscious thick long hair. A neat feature to note is there is a hanger hook hole which is great for hanging it up in your bathroom and also there is a adjustable snap so you can size it securely around your head, even though its large it won't fall off!

The packaging is unique and thoughtful, as each crown is presented in its own bag with an appropriate label and a cute tag including a nice message. 

Overall I would highly recommend these shower 'crowns' to all you ladies with big or not so big hair...just add some fun to your shower! Visit them at http://www.mycelestialsouls.com. Special thanks to Margie the sweet owner :) 

Review - Bodyshop coconut oil hair shine

I bought this because I heard that coconut oil has very good properties for enhancing the condition of dry hair.   It smells like real coconuts with a creamy scent involved too, I do like this scent and it is quite strong but wears out within a few hours. The texture is like a thick paste that has been pressed so I just scoop a little out between my fingertips and rub until it turns into an oil. I like putting this through my hair at just then ends to help lock in my curls. I would not add this near the roots because it is likely to cause greasyness lol! All in all I like this as a finishing product for curly hair.
