this week..

I am totally addicted / in love with the new Batiste Cherry dry shampoo spray

The smell is just oh so fruity! It smells utterly delish!  It's currently on 3 for 2 with all other hair care products in Boots stores, so i stocked up the other day!!
I am completely reliant on dry shampoo, i really honestly don't know what i did before the days of Batiste! Okay, maybe this makes me sounds extremely lazy when it comes to actually washing my hair with water & the whole shebang but it takes FOREVER to dry. 
But luckily my hair doesn't go very greasy so i can get away with washing it every 2-3 days and this is perfect for using inbetween actual washing! 
I also love the tropical one! 
It's one of those revolutionary products i don't think i could live without, much like mascara! 
Although having said that, you can actually just use talcum powder to banish greasy roots, but of course that doesn't smell as lush! And last time i tried this i just looked like i had gone grey prematurely!

MUST HAVE

HAIR ACCESSORY -  this is my ultimate must have hair accessory...

The humble hair donut!

This wonderful little accessory can give you instant hair wonderfulness!
And to make it even better.. it's available from Primark for about £1.50 - if you have dark hair obviously get a dark coloured hair donut.. i made the mistake of getting a light one to begin with! DUH! Boots also sell them but for about £4 more! 

So all you need to do is tie your hair into a ponytail... and then pull your hair through the middle of the donut so it goes to the roots of your hair, and then you just fan your hair round the donut and either pin it down or put a hair band round. ..

And then VOILA.... 

 

SIMPLES! 
Stylish lovely hair in seconds! I personally prefer the messy style look to the perfectly polished donut bun.
I wish i had discovered this delightful item sooner! 

Oh & i realised tonight you can also use it to create a big fringe quiff if you pin it in place or a big bouffant style back combed beehive if you pin it under the hair at the back of your head.

My Top Beauty Must Haves

So i thought i would mix it up a bit and add a bit of beauty into this fashion blog! 
This is a list of my TOP beauty must haves ( in my opinion ). 

Haircare :

Batiste dry shampoo. LOVE it.
Although a little tip for you - if you need a quick fix for greasy looking hair.. use some talcum powder on it! 
Works just the same. 
I like the tropical one the best, mainly due to it's yummy smell.

Aussie haircare products have to be the best. Although a tad on the pricey side, so i always get these as a treat to myself if they're on offer! 
These smell DIVINE!

 Lee Stafford - Blow dry your hair faster spray. Only recently discovered this as i had a Boots haircare voucher so treat myself to this wonderful product, surprisingly it does appear to work, my hair is quite thick & being long it takes FOREVER to dry even with a hair dryer, but this seems to quicken up the process! Well worth buying!








Skincare: 

 
Bodyshop body butter - LOVE LOVE LOVE. 
What is there not to love about these?! They smell good enough to eat, and they make your skin lovely and smooth! 
I do only tend to buy them when they are on offer or on sale , but i have quite a stash of them at the minute! 
Favourite has to be the coconut one i think. 

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream (The one pictured is a special edition, this is the one i have) - Perfect to soothe any chapped or rough skin or minor skin irritations, it seems to help clear up some spots & blemishes i've found too. 
And it lasts FOREVER! (okay maybe that's an exaggeration , but it certainly lasts a good long time). 

(Another Bodyshop product!)

JOJOBA extra rich night cream - Now i have to admit, i'm not one for having a massive face cream regime or anything, so this is the one i tend to use the most, every night! 

This one, although it comes in a quite small tub, it lasts a long time too. 

Make-up

Maybelline Dream Satin liquid foundation - I've only recently started using this, and i think it was only because it was on offer in Boots. 

My usual favourite is Rimmel. But i think i have been converted to this now! 

Maybelline (again!) Mascara - the one pictured is the Falsies one, but i also LOVE the Colossal yellow one. Ooh and the new coral coloured One by One. While Rimmel is overall my favourite make up brand, Maybelline do win hands down when it comes to mascara. 

 

  Rimmel Lipstick (& Lipgloss infact) - In the past 6 months i've really come round to the whole lipstick idea, i have quite a little collection now, my favourite is a Rimmel one in "Holler". 

So there you have my beauty MUST HAVES.

I've just found the most adorable little make up bag EVER :

Yes i LOVE the Moomins. This is super cute. <3

 And just to end here are a couple of pictures of my things...(Excuse the iphone quality!)

My beauty stash : 

My handbag sized cutie make up bag - Paperchase!

What are YOUR beauty must haves?! Any recommendations?!
