Hair Care | Current Products That I Use

Hello everyone! I haven't seemed to post anything about my hair so I just wanted to start off with everything. I'm going to show you all of my current products and how regularly I use them, etc.

I'll start off with just shampoo, conditioner & intensive conditioner:
Left is Conditioner, it's the 'Headmasters Big Glam Hair Volumising Conditioner', and I've found that it has helped quite a lot with the look of my hair. Right is Shampoo, called 'L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Crystal Sparkling Shampoo' and this makes your hair super shiny! Lastly is my intensive conditioner and this changes quite a lot because I share with my mum! It smells just really like coconut and I bought it from Superdrug. I use this around once a week, maybe every now and then twice a week!
You can buy the Conditioner from Tesco, the shampoo was bought from Wilkinsons and the Intensive conditioner from Superdrug!

Hair Oils & Syrums:
The left is a new oil that I bought from Primark, because everybody recently raves about hair oils so I thought I'd start here. I haven't tried it enough to tell you if I like it or not, but that's what I'm using! For hair serum I have a new one from boots. It's nice from first thoughts but again not enough tries for me to tell you if I love it. I had one from Herbal Essences before but I thought I'd try this new one as I've had that for about a year and a half!
You can buy the hair oil from Primark  for £2.50 and the hair serum from Boots for £2.10!

Dry Shampoos:
 So I'm not going to talk too much about this because everyone knows what this is about and what it's for. If not, in a nutshell if your in a rush, just spray this in your slightly greasy hair areas because it makes it look fresh and just washed! I love batiste but haven't tried any other brands, but I do recommend.
You can pretty much buy this everywhere - Boots, Superdrug, Savers, Tescos, Sainsbury's, everywhere! You can buy these in many sizes to fit your need.

Everyday normalities:
 At the back there I have my 'Trevor Sorbie' bristle brush, average 'stick' like brushes never seem to work for me. I'm thinking about getting the 'Tangle Teezer' but this is fine at the moment! It makes my hair super soft and gets out all tangles. For Finishing spray I use TRESemme because aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago there was a couple of shelves in a local superdrug which were all reduced because of imperfections, but this as about 27p just because there was no lid!
You can buy these both at drugstores like Boots & Superdrug.

I hope you liked my hair care products! Comment for any questions:)

Studded Purse | Pairing & Thoughts

Hello my lovelies, I've been into Primark like 3 times in 3 days so far and as many people in the UK know, every Primark has different things. What I mean by this is that you find the odd lonely rack with a couple of bits and pieces which are reduced! I found this around the jewelery section and was pleased from the first sight!

I probably would have still bought this even if it was full price but as a bonus that it was reduced from £4 down to £2.
So as everyone knows, studs are a fashion craze at the moment and have been for a while, and you can see there that they are a gun metal grey kinda colour with a flat top instead of a spike.

I don't have a picture here for you but I thought I could share a couple of things to pair this with:
  • A black collared dress with a white bow belt and either white dolly shoes or boot heels
  • A dipped hem skirt in a peachy colour w/a floral black and grey vest tee, then shiny heels
  • Black skinny jeans w/a cream collared sheer vest and a cool grey/black hat, then small black heels
That's just three examples but there is probably a lot more! I know this is only a purse but imagining outfits with this purse in my hand makes it look awesome!
I will hopefully be doing a 'How To Style' post, so comment if you like that idea!

Speak to you soon,
Lizzie xoxo

Staying Power Test | Maybelline, Revlon & NYC

Hello everyone, I have three stains here which I tested their lasting power. As stains, they usually have a purpose to stay for a long time through a lot, let's see how we get on!

I have here 1st: Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Tint Gloss in 'Lasting Pink'. 2nd: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in '40 Rendez-Vous'. And 3rd: NYC Smooch Proof 16HR Lipstain in 'Orange On The Go'.

This picture was taken at around 10:30 AM. It shows the full burst of colour and how they turn out on the lips at the first point!

This picture was taken at around 12:00 AM. I haven't done tons by this time but it's starting to fade quite a lot 1 and a half hours in! Not really much to see.

This final picture was at about 3:00PM. There is pretty much nothing there, just a small amount of the Maybelline.
At around 5PM there was nothing on my hand. The Revlon, most expensive, had completely disappeared whereas the Maybelline and NYC was possible to slightly see in good light.
The best lasting one was definately Maybelline, I only think this though because it's much brighter than the other two. It stained more and caused the colour of the skin completely stained, not just the top!

I hope you liked this post, it's a first for me!

Fishtail Plait & Galaxy Owl Tee

Today was a very lazy day with my friend and we just ate Galaxy cookie crumble whilst watching EastEnders Omnibus! I thought I'd show you my cool top and the fish tail plait my friend done for me today!

Sorry but your going to have to turn your head there!!
This top is from 'tammy' in BHS I believe and I got this for my birthday:)
And here is the fishtail plait!!
I will hopefully be doing a D.I.Y. soon! I don't think I've done one so I will think of one to do.

Loads of Lipbalms...

I thought at first that this was a stupid post, which yes it is lol, but I thought I'd show you my masses of lipbalm. Beware.
Firstly the storage: I keep most of them in this Impulse minis gift set tin- I got this about 2 years ago in my Christmas stocking and I've found it stores them pretty well. I keep my most constantly used ones with the rest of my make up on the bottom draw of my wardrobe!
The blistex 'Lip brilliance', Vaseline, Carmex, Softlips and the cute owl purple claires one on the side go in my wardrobe and the rest in the Impulse tin!
These are all of them set up in a nice way! From left to right, going downwards:
Vaseline Cocoa Butter, A present from my friend (I think it's from boots), Jelly Belly Bubblegum lipbalm, Sherbert Kisses balm, Hawkins bazaar cupcake, Claire's ice cream pot of bubblegum lipbalm, Born Lippy by The Body Shop balms in 'watermelon' & 'raspberry', Carmex original, CocoCola flavoured lipbalm lid, Blistex lip brilliance, Fanta orange balm, Vaseline cocoa butter chap stick, Claire's owl grape chap stick, Softlips in 'French Vanilla' & finally Fanta Strawberry Chap Stick!
And there is everything whilst open!
