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?

OOTD | The last days of summer

Top - Bank// Skirt-Jack Wills// Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters// Sandals - Topshop// Necklace - Miss Selfridge// Watch - Michael Kors

So its now September,which means the countdown to Christmas can begin and the cold weather will start to set in. But at the moment its surprisingly still quite warm where i live (Plymouth) so i am taking full opportunity of still being able to wear a skirt with no tights!

I bought this skirt at the start of the summer from Jack Wills but i haven't really had much wear out of it, i love the floral pattern though and it has strands of gold ribbon running through it which makes it slightly different to the standard floral design. Since forever i have been wanting an off the shoulder black crop top and i finally found one in the bank sale for only £5, so it had to be mine. Black literally goes with everything and this will be a firm staple of clothing for nights out teamed with bright/patterned bottoms! 

These sandals have appeared in my outfit posts before but i love them so much, they are so versatile and go with ALL of my outfits, you have to love tanned colour items. So now I'm getting the most wear out of them i can until its too cold and not acceptable to be wearing them anymore!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you own anything similar?

Part 2. Top 10 money saving tips for uni

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I am going back to uni in about 3 weeks now eek, I really cant wait to get back into a routine again after a 4 month summer! Anyway, if you read my blog you will have seen my first of a series of university posts on my guide to surviving freshers week. Now i am sharing with you my top 10 money savings tips for uni,read on if you have an expensive beauty,clothes and shoes habit...or if you just like spending money!

1. Loyalty cards! So many places do loyalty cards these days, they enable you to gain points on each purchase,then the more points you build up the better the rewards are,it tends to vary from store to store. The best loyalty card for me is boots,especially if your'e a beauty addict,they are the best of the bunch at 4 points for every pound spent,also look out for their special events in stores and coupons in the post where you can get double points and extra points on certain products. What i do throughout the summer is save all of my points up and then when i'm at uni and if i want to treat myself or cant afford something one week i just use my points to purchase the item.Sorted.

2. Don't immediately go to boots for all of your beauty needs, the places that do the best savings on decent hair care brands/toiletries are actually Wilkinson's, savers and poundland, you can usually end up getting good quality products for little more than a pound. But if you cant bear to shop anywhere other than  boots then look out for the 3 for 2 offers.

3. The Vouchercloud and vouchercodes apps are lifesavers,just because you're at uni it doesn't mean you cant go out for nice meals. With these apps that i have on my Iphone i have saved so much money, you can get 20% vouchers for restaurants, buy one get one free, the list goes on,its definitely worth a download.

4. Save up your pennies! Its crazy how much you end up having if you save your pennies for a while, before i go back to uni i always stash my pennies and any odd cash lying around and before i'm due to go back i go to my local Morrisons where you can change your pennies into a credit receipt that you can spend in store on that day, and i use it to buy some of my toiletries with, saving me a little bit of money!

5. Magic freebies UK is an amazing website that lists the most recent offerings of free samples and competitions. I have got so many free samples from this website, i then save them all up and take them to uni with me. Here are just a few of what I've collected below..

6. One of the well known reasons people go to uni is the nightlife. Yes its fun,but it costs an absolute fortune if you go out a lot(especially freshers week). This is a well known tip, but pre drink before you go out meaning you don't need to keep buying drinks when you're in the club,and believe it or not you can have fun without drinking as well! Add your names to the guest list of the club beforehand and you can usually make quite big savings with free entry before midnight etc.

7. Student discount, Carry your student ID everywhere,so many shops offer student discount now and also sign up to Unidays. They offer such great discounts across a wide variety of shops. People ask whether its best to get an NUS card too but you really don't, as most shops just ask for a valid student id nowadays.

8. Student railcard, if you're living away from home you really should buy a student railcard. They cost £30 BUT you save a 1/3 off all train fares and that totals up to a lot in the long run, i dread to think how much i would have spent without this beauty!

9. Funding that expensive clothes habit is hard, i should know! Use your student id to get discounts as mentioned before,also try looking on eBay for cheaper alternatives and look out for student lock ins which are usually held at shopping malls, these events entitle students to an evening where everything is so much percentage off,so look out for these(not all shops participate)!

10. And finally, cutting open what you think are empty bottles. This may sound straight forward but a lot of people don't do it! When your toiletries and makeup get low,for example creams,foundation cut the tube open and you will be surprised just how much of the item you have left, decant the remains into a spare bottle or wrap cling film around it to stop it drying out!

I hope you enjoyed reading my tips and i hope they help some of you! Do you have any other money savings tips? Do you already use these tips?

Bourjois color boost lip crayon

Hello everyone how are you all doing? This is my first lipstick post i have done eek! I have featured this in my August favourites here and now i am going to do a full review on the product. If you didn't know recently Bourjois released their latest offering of lip products which are the color boost glossy finish lipstick/lip crayon. They are described as having a melty formula which leaves a radiant veil of the colour over the lips and providing shine and moisture to enhance each shade.They come in four different shades and i opted for shade 2 called Fuschia pink.

This is first kind of lip crayon i have ever purchased so for me i have nothing to compare it to already but, i love this product! The application of this crayon is dreamy,it applies so smoothly onto the lips and really does melt well into them,its so easy to apply as you are able to trace your lip outline with the crayon tip easily, i usually go back over the lips a few times to ensure maximum coverage but to be honest i love how nice it feels to apply that i probably do it too much haha.

As for the colour i am really pleased i picked this shade because i didn't have any like this in my collection. Its called Fuschia pink but i would also liken it to a cerise shade of pink, its quite bright pink but it doesn't appear as bright as the packaging and its actually a nicer colour than it i think. I love how glossy the colour is applied,it's definitely a cross between a lipstick and a lip gloss as unfortunately the gloss does fade if you eat or drink something but i guess that's normal for products like these, but the colour stain stays on my lips all day without topping up,but of course if you want the glossy finish all day you do need to keep applying it when and as needed.Overall i would definitely repurchase and try some of the other colours!

 I hope you enjoyed reading my first lipstick review! Please let me know if there is anything i could improve it,i love hearing from you all! What do you think of this colour? Have you tried any of the color boost lip crayons?
