Wow, this month has gone so fast which i'm rather happy about as it means its nearly Christmas yey who is excited?! I haven't had much time for my blog this week as i have so many deadlines due in the next few weeks, so bare with me! Anyway, here is what i have been loving this month!
Loreal Paris Elvive nourish and shimmer highlights shampoo- Believe me i get through a lot of shampoo, with swimming training most days and having a lot of hair i need to find something that's very moisturising and i know when i find it. I have come back to this brand a few times now and i love the lather you get from this product,i always think that's a good indication as to whether its moisturising enough! As well as the nourishment of this product it is also meant to enhance your higlighted hair which it really does with my hair,it almost looks too shiny nowadays! Overall it a great nourishing shampoo and it smells lovely!
Oleo Argan oil - I did a full review on this here a few weeks ago and i'm still loving it! I occasionally use it in my hair when it needs it but i prefer using this as a moisturiser as it really sinks deep into the skin and you still feel moisturied hours later!
Soap & Glory The Scrub of your life & The Righteous Butter - I received both of these products in the relax station set for my birthday and beforehand i had never really used Soap & Glory products which i don't understand as their whole range is amazing! Firstly, the smell of both of these products is heavenly,its such a luxurious scent and feels so nice to apply after a bath or shower. I find the scrub makes my skin super smooth afterwards and applying the butter straight after helps to lock the moisture in. The righteous butter is one of the most moisturising butters i have used and despite the price of around £10 a pot i would definitely repurchase this!
Bourjois delice de poudre bronzing powder - I was in need of a new bronzer and i picked this up on 3 for 2 in Boots a couple of weeks ago. I love the colour of this bronzer and i find its highly pigmented, although i have to be careful that i don't apply too much as it can look quite dirty and unnatural. If i blow the excess off the brush before and then apply it it looks great for contouring!
Bourjois healthy mix serum - I'm fed up of never finding a foundation that suits my combination skin and struggling to find the right colour to suit my skin tone so i opted for 53 in the healthy mix serum after hearing really great things about it. The honey colouring of it is a bit different to what i usually wear but its gives me a really nice healthy colour and i find it gives me a subtle dewy look without it being too oily,although i do find that my face can resemble an oil slick by the end of the day if i don't wear powder! But for now its my favourite foundation until i get my hands on the coveted Nars Sheer Glow!
Models own Emerald city - This is seriously my favourite colour for this Christmas. Its such a bright emerald colour and the amount of glitter it has is amazing, i usually use 2 coats of this and remains chipless for days. If you're also a lover of glitter polish you can vouch for me when i say its impossible to remove!! Its about time a special remover was invented for glitter polish!
I hope you enjoyed reading! What do you think of my November favourites? What are your favourites this month?
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a nice weekend, what are you all up to? I'm off to a Vintage fair today which i'm soo excited for and hope i pick up some good pieces and there will definitely be a blog post up next week on it, i also have lots of revision to do as i have my first exam on Monday eek!
Hair oils have been the best find for my hair this past year and Moroccan oil has always been my go to oil and it has greatly improved the condition of my hair and also helped it to grow even longer,the only thing i don't like about it is the price which is around £30, so i am so glad that i have found a cheaper alternative to this which is this brand of hair oil which is called Oleo Argan oil* which is 100% pure organic argan oil. This product is sourced from Morocco and it is the only place that the finest argan oil is produced, so you know you really are getting the best stuff for your hair and body!
This is also the added benefit of oleo argan oil as it can be used on more than just your hair, also on your body,face and nails! So it really is a multi purpose oil for a fraction of most oils price,you definitely are getting the most for your money.
Hair -
Firstly the oil really has no fragrance to it at all, compared to other oils i have tried where the scent is far too strong for me. With most oils as you probably know it really is a case of 'less is more' but with this oil you need even less than you would with say Moroccan oil for example. I used a small drop for my hair and i just applied this to the ends of my hair after i had washed it. The product is very greasy and you really don't need much at all!! It made my hair feel really soft and nourished and not dry at all. I also used this as a pre shampoo treatment, when i was swimming i put this onto my hair under my swim cap and it really helped to keep my hair moisturised in the water and it helps to protect it against the chlorine. It can also be used as a conditioner, a deep treatment or even as an anti-frizz serum before blowdrying your hair. There really is so many ways you can use this on your hair and when you use so little amount of the product it will last you a long time.
Skin -
I think i have found in this oil one of the best moisturisers i have ever discovered! Again you don't need to use much of the product and you just apply it to the skin like you would with a normal moisturiser. I was worried that my skin would feel greasy afterwards and would just sit there but it absorbed into the skin so quickly and when you rub it in the oil warms up. My skin felt so moisturised and 12 hours later my skin still felt reasonably moisturised which for me is unheard of with most other moisturisers.
Other uses -
As i previously mentioned it can also be used on your face which i haven't tried as personally i think the product would be too greasy for my face and i am scared that it would cause my acne to return but i'm sure that if you suffer from dry skin this would be great for you. Also if you rub this on your nails regularly the condition of your nails should improve and become stronger over time,i will definitely be trying out this use next!
Overall i think this is a great product,for £19.95 for 100ml you really do get the finest quality and as a small amount goes a long way, it is cost effective because it will last you a long time. You can also purchase it in bigger sizes or if you want to give it a trial run you can buy a travel size for only £11.95. If you are looking to improve the condition of your hair,skin and nails and are looking for a cheaper alternative to other oils then Oleo Argan Oil is your answer!!
I hope you enjoyed reading my review! Have you tried this oil before? Do you love oils too?what oils do you use?
