My Haircare Routine

Hello!
Wow, it has been a LONG time since I have last posted, but alas, nothing has changed as I simply just want to share my passions with you.

So, today, I thought I would show you my hair care routine as I have never done anything to do with hair on my blog before.

I hope you enjoy!

When do I wash my hair?

Usually, I wash my hair every other day, but days where I have been particually busy I end up washing it every day- which I know is bad for you hair, however I despise my hair when it doesn't smell like shampoo. (Weird, right)

Even though I wash my hair every other day, sometimes I can get to 4 days without washing my hair- I feel so disgusting sharing this- and it normally will still look like freshly washed hair. I am not sure if this is only because I have medium cut length or whether its as I have the thicker side of having fair hair or not.

What products do I use?

I recently took a trip to boots to buy some new hair care products as I wanted to try something new as I had been using the body shop: banana shampoo and conditioner, which did work wonders on my hair. Moreover, I still love the product, but it was just time for something new.

Currently I am using Lee Stafford: my big fat healthy hair (shampoo and conditioner) and I am also using, Lee Stafford: for hair that never grows past a certain length (hair mask/treatment).

I LOVE the smell of the products, I believe the scent is floral with a fruity twist.

The shampoo instantly makes my hair feel fresher and I have noticed that my hair is a lot smoother than before. 

The conditioner is perfect as it leaves you hair feeling soft and moisturized, thankfully not greasy.

I typically use the hair mask in the shower after using the shampoo and I leave it in for 2-5 minutes, massaging it into the roots of my hair. This is beneficial to me as I pull strands of my hair when I am stressed, ( so everyday) which I great as it calms the roots of my hair when I use it. 

The mask also has the same scent as the other two products.

How do you dry your hair?

I don't actually blow dry my hair as I like to leave it to dry naturally, plus It makes my hair frizzy, despite using heat protection (mine is a duo protection).

And that is it!

I hope I will see you in my next post!x

Rimmel London Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder: Review

Hello!
Sorry it has been so long since my last post (I don't actually have an excuse as to why I haven't posted) so lets just ignore that factor as today I will be reviewing my new transparent powder!

Please feel free to recommend any drugstore products that you have found to be amazing.

To start of, I should have bought this powder before, rather than waste my money originally on the collection one (oops!) as it is much better; which I expected considering its Rimmel!

The packaging is very simplistic and very easy to fit into my makeup bag, which is rapidly getting harder to close- which obviously means I have spent too much money on makeup these past few months. 

My only concern is that the plastic top may break if something accidentally prods it (fingers crossed that doesn't happen!) and that I won't be able to cover it back up.

The base colour of the packaging is very cute as its a pastel green/mint, but it would look even prettier if Rimmel did coloured powders with a different base colour each time, eg. Medium could have a pastel pink color- just to make things fit in together, rather than being anomaly's.

Now, on to the powder!:

After all the raving reviews I had heard on this, I definitely knew what I was buying. The powder itself is not heavy and does not leave a caked residue, and can easily be rubbed off any item of clothing. Moreover, because the powder is so light, I wasn't that surprised to see that it didn't stay very long, (probably only an hour) despite what the packaging said as it claimed to stay on for 5 hours- which seems a bit surreal. I don't necessarily mind that the product doesn't last 5hours but would at least expect it to last more than 1 hour as here I am, reapplying it once again.

Despite that, I was generally pleased with the purchase as it was only £3.99 at my local boots and wasn't likely to leave me loathing it.

Thank you for reading, I will be back with another post soon.
