Soap and Glory hair supply

My sister gave me this travel sized Soap and glory hair supply to try out, before then i wasn't even aware that soap and glory did hair products,seriously. I would never have opted for this before hand as i always associate soap and glory with shower gels,scrubs etc and just kinda think stick with what you know?! Anyway, here is my verdict.

Soap and glory products all have that distinctive floral scent, i sort of like it but for someone who has sensitive skin i don't usually like using products with a fragrance. Anyway,this hair mask is no different, i love the consistency of this when i apply it to my hair,it says to massage it from roots to tips but for me i would look like a big grease ball if i did so, so i applied a generous amount to the mid to end lengths of my hair. When  i had applied it and combed it through my hair felt so sleek and soft, it suggests leaving it on for 60 seconds but if you're like me and like a more intensive mask i leave it on while i'm having a soak in the bath.

After washing it off my hair it did feel super soft and more manageable with no tangles. I liked the product but i kept smelling the product on my hair even after washing it off thoroughly, which isn't a bad thing but for me it was too strong a smell. My hair the next day was also really fluffy, so for me i wouldn't purchase this product again,it may just be because my hair is so long and it needs something that is more moisturising. But for someone with shorter hair this product is probably perfect, and at least i gave it a go! But It definitely doesn't change my opinion on their other products which i will always keep repurchasing!

Have you tried any hair products from soap and glory? What do you think of this product?

Monthly favourites // August

How is it that September is now just around the corner?! These holidays for me have just flown by and i really don't have anything to show for it apart from a sun tan..But,I am so happy to say that i have survived my first month of blogging (yey) and with many more to come. I am a lot more motivated now and i'm getting into a routine of posting regular posts and i have chatted to some such lovely bloggers through twitter and on my blog posts, and i want to thank everyone who has read my posts and followed me, i'm very grateful and it really makes my day hearing from you!

Anyway, onto this months favourites,its a good bunch!

Vaseline spray & Go body moisturiser (cocoa radiant) - This is one of Vaselines newest releases and its safe to say i love it, and will be repurchasing again. The spray element to it makes it so easy to apply and it only takes a couple of rubs and you are moisturised in seconds. So many moisturisers take so long to rub in properly but i can literally moisturise my whole body in 2 minutes flat, it smells great too and it is really moisturising despite how fast it sinks into the skin. This product will be perfect for when its cold and you jump out of the shower and just want to quickly get changed but without skipping moisturising. I have been using this same bottle for almost a month now and i am thrilled with it.

Boots Soltan Aftersun - This is a pretty boring product but it really has been a summer necessity for me! I never see much point in spending a lot of money on aftersun as boots own brand one is great,i picked some of these up for £2.50 when they had half price off all suncare. It's really helped to prolong my tan this summer,it absorbs easily,it cools down any sunburn you may have and it smells like summer!Sold.

Schwarzkopf Gliss Total repair shampoo - I'm always trying new hair products and this has been my go to shampoo this month, it claims to repair hair with liquid keratin and is targeted at those with dry and damaged hair. My hair is very long and it is in great condition now but i'm always trying to prevent and limit any further damage, my hair feels soft and looks shiny after washing but to be honest it really is hard for me to tell if a product works these days as i always use Moroccan oil (amazing!),however i do love this shampoo and again it makes my hair smell great so i would buy this again.

Unite 7 seconds conditioner - Nothing but love for this product, this featured in my hair cost post which you can read here. It honestly does what it says on the label and helps to detangle my hair when it's at its worst. Fully recommend this product if you are prone to tangles or have thick hair.

Bourjois 1 seconde & Manicure laser toppings - I wrote about these in full here. I only discovered recently how amazing the fan effect brush which comes with these 1 seconde polishes are, it makes the task of nail painting easy and i will be buying more from their range for sure. 

Acne Killer Mask - Honestly,this is the 'creme de la creme' i suffered really badly from acne and within 2 months it was gone due to using this. Its a painful peel off mask but oh so effective. Read my full review here.

Lush sweet lips vanilla and chocolate sugar lip scrub - Most people know how fabulous lush lip scrubs are, and the deliciously tasting flavours they do. Not long ago i picked this one up and have been using it ever since,i usually do it as a weekly treat and it really helps to eliminate dry skin and leaves them looking and feeling smooth,making lipstick application on top of them afterwards look flawless. Not only that but the taste of this one is to die for,okay so maybe once or twice i have accidentally eaten it...

Bourjois Color Boost shade 2 Fuchsia Libre - I picked this up on a 3 for 2 offer after hearing lots of bloggers raving about them so i took the plunge and picked up shade 2 which swatches as a glossy bright pink (fuschia), i wont say much about it as i plan to do a full review but so far i love it when its first been applied but then the gloss tends to go as soon as i eat or drink something boo!

So that's my first round up of my monthly favourites,i hope you have enjoyed reading it!

Acne Killer peel off mask | Review

 I have always suffered from skin which is prone to a few spots but at the end of last year i developed really bad acne, which i believe came on from badly blocked pores as i knew i hadn't been looking after my skin properly in the previous summer. The acne was so bad and if anyone has ever had it you know how much it knocks your confidence and makes you self conscious. I tried every spot remedy under the sun,wasted a lot of money and nothing worked,i was also reluctant to try medication to treat it.

While i was living in Finland i saw an ad which came up for an Acne killer face mask,i translated the page to English and as a last ditch attempt i went for it and paid for a 5 pack of these masks which was about 20 euros, its benefits of using the mask are so good that they guarantee your money back if it doesn't work! Now back in the UK you can purchase these from Stylelux UK for £14.95,i have also seen these on eBay.  It is a danish brand so it is not readily available to the UK at the moment. I have never found anything that worked on my spots in the past but please believe me this product is an absolute MIRACLE!

Sorry for the stern face,the mask was so tight i couldn't smile haha

 This mask claims to 'remove pimples, blackheads, impurities, and excess oil while the mask dries in just minutes.Not weeks, not days, not even hours. Just minutes!' It also removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and when it is peeled away it leaves your skin looking cleaner,fresher and smoother than ever.It also contains completely natural ingredients meaning it wont irritate the skin.

This mask has a thick and gloopy consistency but it spreads onto the skin easily,my tips for this are to avoid the delicate skin areas such as under the eyes and away from your eyebrows,i also push my hair back with a headband because this mask will stick to your hair and rip it out! I usually leave the mask on longer than the 10 minutes recommended but to be fully dry it takes about 40 minutes. Now i must say this mask is not for the faint hearted. Peeling this mask off is so painful,BUT for me it is totally worth it as you can see from below it comes off in one piece unlike other peel off masks i have used in the past which are watery and end up having to be taken off in multiple pieces and you can actually see what has been pulled out from your pores,from the first use it pulled out all of my dead skin cells meaning that it was a fast and effective way of clearing my badly blocked pores. 

Pretty scary!

I used this mask once every two weeks while i had the acne, and i kid you not my acne started to clear up straight away i really could not believe it,it was a miracle! 2 months later and my acne had completed vanished,i wasn't even left with any small spots. I now use this mask once a month just to prevent my pores from becoming blocked again and since February i have only had a few spots here and there but nothing major. I literally cannot recommend this product enough to anyone that is suffering from acne or has skin prone to spots, i wont lie because it is painful and it does sting for a while after but this does calm down quite quickly, but i will never stop using it as it has been the only thing i have ever used which has treated and cured my acne. At £14.95 it is not that expensive and it has meant that i haven't wasted more money on trying to find an alternative that works.

I am so happy i discovered this while i was in Finland because else i would probably still be suffering from acne and i hope i can help some of you in the discovery of it! Have any of you tried this before? What are your thoughts on this product?
