Herbal Essences Dazzling Shine + Smooth and Soft
So almost 2 months ago I was in superdrug and spotted that they had half price on all herbal essences which they quite often do and seeing as my hair gets died blonde, straightened, backcombed etc it's not in the best condition!
I decided to try the Dazzling Shine shampoo and conditioner as blonde hair never looks as shiny as the light doesn't reflect off of the colour and add that to how dead my hair is, my hair was not shiny at alll! I also picked up the Smooth and Soft intensive conditioner as my hair can be quite dry and a little frizzy!
I've also always loved the smell of herbal essences, they smell SO good! I literally just love washing my hair with these cos they smell so good! The dazzling shine smell is my favourite!
I've been using these products for about 2 months now and I wouldn't say i'm amazed by them but they definitely have made a difference to my hair! As you can see in the picture of me, my hair doesn't look amazingly shiny but it's definitely better than it used to be. I'm more of a fan of the soft and smooth intensive conditioner as this definitely does make my hair soft and smooth! It has actually made quite a difference to my hair and i love using it, when my products run out i'm thinking of getting the soft and smooth shampoo!
Also i'm quite surprised at how long they've lasted, the shampoo still has over half left and the conditioner has just under half but I do use a lot! The intensive conditioner did run out yesterday but i always whack on loads!
So overall i wouldn't say these are wonder products but i definitely like them and will be purchasing the soft and smooth shampoo and conditioner!
Let me know if you've tried any of the herbal essences range or if you prefer any other hair products!

Eye flicks!
Firstly, sorry I havn't posted in a while I've been so busy! But i'm back with another post :)
So the one part of make up I've always been uhh not the best at.. is doing flicks with liquid eyeliner! I can never seem to make them even and I prefer them more triangular than a curvy flick which I find even harder! However the other day I tried it again and I was actually kind of proud of myself!
I used No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow in Wheatsheaf, Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner, Natural Collection Black Eyeliner and Natural Collection Lash Build Mascara in Black.
I also added a picture of my lips as I used a lip gloss I havn't used before, I got it for christmas in a No7 set and its kind of a browny red but as you can see its really pale when you put it on! I'm not sure what it's called but it only came in the christmas sets and so won't be available anymore. However i'd definitely recommend No7 lipglosses!
So please let me know if you've got any tips on the liquid eyeliner as I know this was just a lucky day haha!

Blouse - Applesnow £11.99
White vest (under blouse) - Primark £2.50
Shorts - New Look £16.99
Shoes - New Look £12 in sale
The blouse and shoes won't be in stores anymore but the shorts are still are quite new and are still being sold! You can also get them in a lovely blue colour and a coral and I want them both as I LOVE these shorts! They fit really well and are so soft and comfy I just absolutely love them and would definitely recommend buying them! They're also the perfect length as they're short shorts but not short enough to have my bum cheeks hanging out the back! Anyway enough babbling about the shorts, hope you like the outfit!

No7 Stay Perfect Nail Polish in Milan
So I was in the pharmacy waiting for my prescription the other day and obviously could not resist a look at the No7 make up where I spotted this gorgeous nail polish! It was £7 i probably shouldn't have spent but what girl can resist a new sparkly pink nail polish?!
I've always had a thing for No7 nail polishes as they always have such nice colours and they stay on really well, especially with their top coat. This has really fine sparkles in it and so still feels smooth and not gritty and I only needed to use one coat to get great coverage with it! I have french gel nail extensions on but I couldn't wait to use it so I painted over the top of them and I love how they look! I've had a fair few comments on my nails and definitley think it's worth the £7 I didn't really have!
I'm gonna be back in the pharmacy again tomorrow with ten minutes to spare whilst I wait so no surprise if I soon come out with another post of something i've bought in there! I'd definitely recommend this nail polish and also their other colours and top coat!

The versatile blogger award!
So i've been away for the weekend (hence lack of posts, sorry!) and i've
come back to discover i've been nominated twice for the versatile
blogger award, woohooo! So thank you to Josephine Jade and simplicity rose x for nominating me! :)
If you've been nominated you have to:
1 = Nominate fellow bloggers who are relatively new to blogging
2 = Let them know they've been nominated
3 = Share 7 random facts about yourself
4 = Thank the bloggers that have nominated you
5 = Add the versatile blogger award picture to your blog post
Seven random facts about me!...
1. This is my first blog award, woo!
2. I'm the biggest girly girl but i actually live on a farm with muddy fields, cows and sheep!
3. In august i had anterior spinal fusion for scoliosis (a curved spine) where they collapsed my lung to take out a rib, straightened my spine and put pieces of my rib between it to make it fuse and held it there with titanium rods and pins!
4. I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and so i'm very hypermobile and can do the splits, put my leg behind my head, lick my nose etc haha!
5. I'm allergic to nuts and petrolatum and have phobias of heights, fish and knives
