21st Birthday Wishlist


Eeek it's my 21st is at the end of this month,i'm sooo excited but i literally had no idea what i wanted. So compiling a wishlist helped and i have picked out a few things that have really caught my eye so if my family or boyfriend are reading this... take note! 

I got my first tangle teezer on my last birthday and its been my best mate ever since,i wonder how i ever tamed my hair before this. They have now released the aqua splash TT which is a lot bigger and is a lot more appropriate for my long hair than the travel size one i have,it is also specifically made for use on wet hair, i do a lot of swim training so this is perfect for me and naturally i want the pink one.

I have never used a brush for my foundation before. From hearing lots of talk about this face brush in the beauty community i think its time to be converted from using my fingers. Along the beauty side of things I've also ran out of my favourite mac nude lipstick - shy girl ,so i quite fancy trying a new one out and Hue looks gorgeous on the swatches i have seen.

Cut out boots are definitely on my list for the upcoming A/W trends. Black ones seem to be everywhere so i fancy being a bit different and i found these white/black ones from Bank they are only £32,so cheaper than the Topshop ones and they look like a dream! The hologram bag i have just fallen in love with,its from New look and its not overly priced,i need this clutch desperately!

Lastly i need a new camera for blogging! I have been using the exact same one this summer as the one above but its my Mums, and the pictures come out so well considering its not a DSLR. I love the quality of pictures on those type of cameras but its too big for me and i would never take it on holiday as they are such a nuisance to carry. This digital camera is the next best thing,its small and at 16.1 mp its pretty good!

I hope you liked my wishlist what do you think of my picks? Do you have any of these?

My hair care


Hello everyone! Today i'm going to be telling you about what products i use to care for my hair. It has taken me years to grow my hair to this length and after a few nasty dye jobs a few years ago i have finally got my hair into very good condition and this is down to these 'wonder' products!


Moroccan Oil 100ml- £31.85
So most people know what Moroccan oil is by now,but if not check it out here . This product has completely saved my hair. I started using it in February and purchased the small bottle(25ml), but of course i loved it so much i had to buy the big bottle(100ml). This stuff is costly but it is 100% worth it. It has reduced the frizz on the ends of my hair and since using it i have not developed many more split ends,it gives my hair shine and the overall condition has improved meaning that my hair has grown even longer! I usually use about 2 blobs of the oil which i rub between my hands and i apply this to the mid/end lengths of my hair.

TRESemme platinum strength conditioner - £2.35
 I never really have a favourite shampoo or conditioner as i like mixing it up and trying different products. But i always return to TRESemme, you cant beat a good professional salon product and this conditioner can also be used as a mask, it leaves my hair tangle free and super soft! Not only that is is so cheap and i picked this one up in Wilkinsons for only £2.35!!Also, for those of you who like swimming or if you are on holiday my top tip is applying this or any other conditioner to the ends of the hair beforehand because it protects your hair from the chlorine and it doesn't leave it feeling like straw when it dries! When i'm doing serious swimming i pop my swim hat over the top and the heat inside acts like an intensive hair mask,brilliant!

 Loreal Paris Elnett satin heat protect styling spray170ml- £5.99
I rarely use heat on my hair these days and if i do it is only for special occasions and nights out,i guess i really should make more effort haha. Anyway,when i do use heat i always use a heat defence spray and this Loreal Paris one is fantastic! I've tried many others in the past but this is a winner for me,i love the smell and it doesn't feel like i have any product in my hair at all.It also locks-out frizz and tames my flyaways, it also states that it locks in a straight look for 3 days,but for me it usually lasts for about a day as my hair has a mind of its own! Not only this but it also protects your hair up to 230 degrees which is perfect if you're an avid GHD user!

Unite 7 seconds conditioner 59ml -£5.10
I have very thick hair but my hairs are fine meaning that they are always getting tangled,it's painful and heartbreaking seeing clumps of your hair in your hairbrush! I recently heard about Unite 7 seconds leave in conditioner and i had to try it,i purchased the travel size first. It is amazing! It really does what it says on the bottle that it detangles hair in 7 seconds, not only this it also locks in colour,its a UV protector,thermal protector and a weightless conditioner. The smell of it is also really nice and i always use this before i brush my hair and it has really reduced the breakages in my hair and it has made it a lot more manageable.

Leopard print Tangle Teezer - £8.99

Lastly is the trusty tangle teezer. I don't know how i ever lived without this! Pretty self explanatory but it can be used on dry and wet hair,it really helps to manage my tangles and the added benefit of using it on wet hair is perfect for me because i swim a lot.

I would recommend all of these products if you have or are seeking long hair! As well as this i also get my hair trimmed every 6-10 months to keep the split ends at bay!I hope you enjoyed my first hair themed post! Have you tried any of these products or have and hair product recommendations?
