Product High Five!

So, I have decided I'm in love with a new shampoo and conditioner, they smell divine, are thick, creamy and the shampoo lathers a treat. My afro type hair is left feeling soft, manageable, and with just a little bit of King of the Mods for styling my curls are defined, luscious and have nice movement.

What could this magical shampoo and luxurious condition be?

Well it's Curly Wurly from Lush and Retread also by Lush.

These products have been chosen for me to rave about as they are simply...well...wonderful.

I also managed to break my self imposed shopping ban, I simply couldn't resist. I'm well known for having very little will power haha.

so what did I shamefully (albeit gleefully) purchase. There was of course a small investment in a couple more Lush products to try Fresh Farmacy facial soap and their Sugar Scrub

Both are to be road tested and given the thumbs up or down for their effectiveness and all round yum factor.

I also got a few more make-up bargains and well as broke my Model's Own cherry shall we say by finally placing an order on their website, it's been a long time coming, when those products arrive I shall give you a glance. I got some nail polish, lipgloss and eyeshadow powders.

Now on to those delicious bargains, as mentioned before, what girl doesn't love one!

The grand total of the products I am about to show you is (drum roll please) a mere £7.80!

Earrings £2.00 Claire's Accessories
All About Face three for £3.00 Tesco (shades bronzing powder in Sunkissed Bronze, eyeshadow in Espresso, lipstick in Pomegranate)

Again impressed with the pigmentation of the colours considering the price!

You Beauty glitter liquid and pencil eyeliners. As a give away in Top of the Pops magazine believe it or not so technically £2.80 if like me only buying the magazine for the freebie. The liquid liners glide on easily and you get a good pay off of coloured glitter, as you can see you get an emerald green, a purple that seems to have flacks of hot pink running through it and a standard silver. The pencil liners have a bit of drag on them, but I wont complain considering how I came to own them, but the colours are very pretty with subtle flecks of glitter, perfect for the holiday season!

Oh how could I possibly forget! the 88 palette I order a few weeks ago came and I have somehow forgot to mention this (slapped wrist for Miss Shoptastic)

Mine is not the Coastal Scents version, mine is a copy from Hong kong, nevertheless the colours are beautiful and I'm excited to start creating looks from this palette.
(also pictured is the craft store palette I bought for mixing and pouring products, it cost £1.00 in Tesco)

LAst but not least is the Christmas present to myself I bought back along and also somehow forgot to mention. I got a brush roll complete with a full set of brushes for the whole face (12 in total) for £10.00 in Asda Walmart, I bought this after a fellow make-up loving friend of mine alerted me to it's existence after buying one herself, and I must agree that it's an absolute steal.

Well, that's it for now my lovelies, I thought it was about time I gave you a proper blog post, so here it is. I'll be back soon and look out for a new Youtube video or two coming soon as I've had some ideas and just need to get them filmed, edited and uploaded :)

Stay fabulous x
