25 Day’s Of Beauty: Day Fifteen

Welcome back to 25 Day’s Of Beauty. 

In Day Fifteen I received a full supersized tube of the Percy And Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm. This balm can be used on wet or dry hair to help ease frizz, protect from humidity and give hair a sleek smooth look. It definitely is something I could enjoy because it sounds like it could help ease the terrible baby hairs that I get when I put my hair up. 

Percy and Reed is a brand that is featured every year in the Calender and they usually always get it right. This is one of the six full sized products that this Calender has to offer and I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed by it. It didn’t go back in the box and I’m sure I’ll be getting a lot of use out of it. 

25 Day’s Of Beauty: Day Nine

Welcome back to 25 Day’s Of Beauty.

In today’s box I received a travel size tube of the Philip Kingsley Body Building Weightless Shampoo. I don’t know anything about this shampoo but having tried other products from Philip Kingsley over the years so I’m under the assumption that it’ll be a good product.

I highly doubt I’m going to reach for this product but I’m not disappointed in having received it in the box. It makes a change from receiving the Elasticizer which has featured in the Calender for the last couple of  years.

25 Days Of Beauty: Day One

Pinch, Punch, First Of The Month! Happy December 1st, it’s time for the festivities to begin. If you’ve been around for a few years now you’ll know that every December I do 25 Day’s of Beauty where I unbox and share with you what I received in my Marks And Spencer Beauty Advent Calender.

And I have to say they’ve started this year off strong. In Day One, I received a full sized tube of the Aveda Damage Repair Daily Hair Repair. This is to be used on damp hair to help protect it from heating styling as well as alleviating and dry or spilt ends you may have. I’m actually looking forward to trying this when I was my hair next and I have to say I’m impressed that M&S went for a straight up full sized product on Day One.

Review: Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Hair Oil

I'm terrible at looking after my hair. I don't know why I'm just not as interested in hair products as I am skincare or make up. I think it may be because I consider doing my hair a bore. Washing it takes forever and a day and because it's so thick it's hard to style and work with. However there has been a product that I've been thoroughly enjoying and it's perfect for girls like me who are lazy with their hair.

The Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Oil is the fourth product in the The Sleek Restorer range. It's multi use hair oil that is lightweight in formula which makes it perfect to use on both wet and dry hair. It contains Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter to help ease frizz and flyaways whilst simultaneously nourishing dry or damaged hair. And it also contains a heat protectant so if you forget to use a separate heat defense spray you'll still be protected.

Depending on how long/short or thin/thick your hair is depends on how many pumps you need to use of this. I have long extremely thick hair so two pumps works wonders on my hair. On dry hair it smooths away any flyaways and helps me create sleeker hair styles. Whilst on wet hair it nourishes my lengths and ends and helps them dry softer and smoother than with any other product. Plus it smells absolutely divine and even when my hair has completely dried I can still smell it.

Overall I absolutely adore this product and can't understand why it took me so long to find it. It's not a product that can be used everyday as it will make hair greasy but every other day or with every wash is fine. If you struggle to keep your hair looking smooth, sleek and soft then definitely give this a go. It's lightweight enough to not weigh down thin hair but not lightweight enough to be useless on thick hair. If you're already a fan of the Sleek Restorer Range from Garnier then I highly recommend checking this out.

Mark's and Spencer Beauty Advent Calender Day Nineteen

Welcome back to Day Nineteen of my Mark's and Spencer Beauty Advent Calender Unboxing.

In today's box I recieved a 30ml tube of the Percy and Reed Wonder Balm. This a pre styling balm that helps with hold, control and definition. This can only be used on towel dried hair before blow drying or styling.

First Impressions: This is one of those products I won't be using from this advent calender. I like to keep my hair routine simple and this would just be an unnessecary extra step. If it wasn't for that I think I would probably quite like this product but because it's not really what I'm looking for I think I'll give it a miss.

Mark's and Spencer Beauty Advent Calender Day Fifteen and Sixteen

Welcome back to Day Fifteen of my Mark's and Spencer Beauty Advent Calender Unboxing. Today I'm throwing together both day fifteen and sixteen. Due to technical issues last night I couldn't get Day Fifteen up in time.

In Day Fifteen's box I recieved one of the Rosie For Autograph Lip Glossy in the shade Supermodel Smile. These lip gloss sticks are non sticky, easy to wear and long wearing. This shade is a stunning nude shade that'll suit a multitude of skintones and looks. They also come in this stunning rose gold packaging that just gives it a gorgeous finish.

First Impressions:I already own one of these in the shade Sun Kiss. They are so pigmented, easy to apply and don't feel sticky or uncomfortable to wear. For a gloss finish they can last very long on the lips but do need retouching if you eat or drink. I'm definitely going to be getting a lot of wear out of this.

And in Day Sixteen I recieved a tube of the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. I think this actually came in a box last year aswell. This is a pre shampoo treatment that is supposed to moisturise hair and leave it feeling soft, supple and easier to style. It contains Castor Oil and Olive Oil which helps add moisture, bounce and shine.

First Impressions: I like the idea of this product but I didn't try it last year and I'm not sure if I like the idea enough to try it this year. If you have some spare time and washing your hair isn't a chore (it is to me) then definitely give this a go. If I change my mind I will let you know and a review will probably appear on here at some point.

Mark's And Spencer Beauty Advent Calender Day Five

Welcome back to my Mark's And Spencer Beauty Calender Unboxing.

Today's box contained a haircare item and a very good one at that. It had a deluxe sample size of the Josh Wood Radiant Shine Hair Treatment Oil. This oil contains a blend of bespoke oils including kukui nut. This oil can be used as a pre shampoo treatment, as a styling moisture boost or to smooth and nourish dry ends. It's also extremely lightweight so it won't weigh hair down or make it look greasy.

First Impressions: This is a very nice hair oil. It so lightweight in texture that you can't actually feel it in your hair once you've applied. I put this through the ends of my hair this morning and although I didn't feel an immediate difference in my hair, I'm sure after a few uses I'd feel my ends becoming softer and less crispy. I like the idea of this being a pre shampoo treatment but because I have such long thick hair, I'm not sure how long this bottle will last me. It's a nice sized bottle and is so understated and classy looking I actually thought this was skincare when I first unboxed it.

Top 5 Products From Garnier

When it comes to brands I'm not a one brand does all person. I have a whole range of brands that I love and whilst they're mismatched, they work for me. However when it comes to one particular brand I find myself buying more and more products from them. That brand is Garnier and today I'm sharing with you my Top 5 Products from them.

Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion: When it comes to body lotions this is one of the best on the high street. This is aimed at dry skin and it's thick but not greasy and actually eases any dry skin issues. It applies evenly and doesn't make everything sticky. Not only does it moisturise the skin it also soothes skin and smoothes away any dry patches. It comes in a pump bottle which makes it a lot easier to apply and you don't have to worry about spilling it on the floor or the bed. A full review can be found here.

Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Hair Mask: When it comes to hair masks there has never been one that works as well as this one has. It contains a mixture of cocoa butter and coconut oil that helps to smooth away frizz and flyaways. Slathered from mid lengths to ends and left on for five to ten minutes this washes away to give hair a smooth, sleek finish. When it comes to styling frizz prone hair this will become your best friend. Because it smooths hair to sleek finish means it's easier to style and there won't be a ton of flyaway hairs trying to escape. A full review can be found here.

Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask: This is the latest release from Garnier and they've totally put every other brand to shame right now. Sheet Masks are a big thing at the moment and most budget brands have either no sheet mask to their name or really bad sheet masks. This mask is infused with hyaluronic acid and pomegranate and promises to provide a week's worth of hydration in one thirty minute wear. And boy does it work. After one use my skin felt smoother, softer and definitely well hydrated. It didn't cause any problems for me with occasionally sensitive skin and my friends with oily skintypes have said it works well for them as well. And the best bit about it. It doesn't break the bank. At £1.50 full price you can't go wrong. A full review can be found here.

Miracle Wake Me Up Cream: One of my favourite products from Garnier comes from their Miracle Cream Range. Their Wake Me Up Cream is one of the most unique day moisturisers I've ever tried. Enriched with rice proteins, soya extract and a skin loving complex that awakens skin, this not only alleviates any signs of tiredness but also softens, soothes and helps combat signs of ageing. A little bit too thick to be worn under make up, this is the perfect cream to slather on, on no make up days or even after you've taken your make up off. A full review of it can be found here.

Miracle Sleeping Cream: This is my all time favourite product from Garnier. I've gone through pointless pots of this and will definitely go through more in the future. This is a very thick, nourishing cream that works overnight to help combat signs of fatigue and ageing. It softens skin and smooths away any fine lines, even helping diminish signs of dark circles and redness. It's perfect for putting on before an early start or at the end of a late night. The results are that astounding that I've recommended to several of my friends and they all love it. A full review can be found here.

Review: Superdrug Hair Mask Sachet

When it comes to haircare I like to keep things simple. I have very thick, naturally wavy hair and everytime I wash it, I have to deal with the dreaded frizz. So one thing I've added to my routine over the year is a good hair mask. Aussie do good masks as do Garnier but a relatively inexpensive mask that's perfect for a quick hair fix are these sachets from Superdrug.

These are a recent release from them and can be found in with the face masks. There are two in total and I've tried both. Each sachet contains one use and I find that there is enough in there for people with very long hair and people with short hair could probably get a couple of uses out of this. It's isn't the easiest to get out of the sachet and would be easier in a pot but you can actually get all of it out and aren't left with some in the bottom. I recommend putting it through your mid lengths to ends if you have mid length or long hair and obviously all over if you have shorter hair. Leave it in for 3-5 mintues, maybe longer if you're hairs in a bad condition and then was away like you would a shampoo or conditioner.

This deep conditioning mask is perfect for people who's hair needs a little bit of loving. Containing Manuka Honey and Abyssinian Oil, this mask will nourish and moisture hair leaving it feeling refreshed, replenished and easier to work with. I love putting this mask on at the end of a long day when I just a need a bit of TLC. It doesn't smell as good as some masks could smell but it's not that bad that you don't want to leave it on for it's allotted time. I like to leave this on for more than five mintues just so it can really go to work on my hair and afterwards my hair feels softer and a lot more manageable even if it's still a bit frizzy.

If frizz is your main concern they also do a frizz taming mask that I forgot to buy last time I was in there. It's brilliant for taming any flyaway hairs you may get from washing and hair looks a lot less frizzy and fluffy after each use. At £1.29 a sachet these are a brilliant budget option for your hair and they actually work. I'll definitely be stocking up next time I'm in Superdrug.

Have any of you tried these? What did you think? I'd love to know in the comments.

Top 5 Beauty Products of 2016 So Far

So far this year there have been tons of beauty releases and whilst I've loved a good majority of them there are five that I've loved more than the rest of them. So today I thought I'd share with you my Top 5 Beauty Products of this year so far.

The first beauty launch I've been loving this year is one I'd actually been waiting for what seems like an age. It's the Rosie For Autograph make up line. It released back in January and I haven't fallen in love with a beauty range as much as I have this one. Everything comes packaged in stunning rose gold packaging and the products themselves are of the highest quality. There are a range of products ranging from radiance bases to contour sticks to luxurious eyeshadow palettes and more. I have quite a few pieces from the range but my favourites are the Miracle Concealer and the lipsticks. I have the shades Lady Rose and Silk Rose from the lipstick range and these are the most opaque finish lipsticks I've ever tried. One sweep and you have full on colour which dry down to a semi matte finish and don't dry lips out. The concealer is a creamy concealer that works well under the eyes and on blemishes. It's creamy, blends out easily and doesn't crease under the eye.

Next is a another release I've been waiting for since forever. It's the Loreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation. This is one of the first of it's kind on the high street and it's blown the competition away. If you haven't heard of this it's a liquid foundation condensed into a cushion that gives a light to buildable medium coverage. It comes with a sponge which they advise to apply it but you can use any brush or sponge you like. I've been wearing this everyday and love the coverage it gives. It covers my redness easily and blends nicely with any concealer I add afterwards. It has a dewy finish that makes skin look healthier and more awake but obviously if you have oily skin it would be something I'd advise staying away from. I did a full review that you can find here.

 Now this isn't new out this year but it is new to me. It's the Pixi Glow Tonic, a cult favourite in the skincare world. And I can totally understand why. Containing a mix of Glycolic Acid, Ginseng and Aloe Vera this works to exfoliate and soothe the skin whilst simultaneously toning the skin. This may not be perfect for people with extremely sensitive skin but if you're skin can handle AHA and BHA Acid Treatments then you should definitely give it a go. It's completely changed my skin for the better and any sign of texture I had has gone.

While we're on the subject of Glycolic Acid let's talk about these treatment pads from Nip and Fab. Containing 5% Gylcolic Acid and Salicylic Acid these work to rejuvenate, exfoliate and cleanse the skin. I love how they make my skin tingle after I use them but I take that as a sign they're working and the next morning I can see and feel the results on my skin. These combined with the Pixi Glow Tonic have really helped to diminish the texture I had along my jawline as well as helping reduce the size of pores in a couple of my problem areas. I definitely recommend giving these a go but if the Glycolic Acid is too strong in these there are a lighter version of these available.

And finally we have the Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Balm Treatment. It's not often that I get excited by hair products or even talk about them on here but these has truly impressed me. It's a hair treatment that you leave in for five minutes and then wash out. It contains Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter which helps to nourish the hair and tame flyaways which will give any hairstyle you create a sleek finish. I have very thick hair that gets ridiculosuly frizzy and fly away when I wash it but since I've been using this mask my hair always dry sleek and frizz free. It smells divine, works well with a majority of hair lengths and doesn't leave any build up in the hair after you've used it. I'd recommend giving this at least a smell if you ever see it in your local Boots.

So that's it for my Top 5 Beauty Products of 2016 So Far. What have been yours so far this year? Do you have any recommendations for me to try? Let me know in the comments.

Product Empties #4

Every now and again I find myself with a pile of empty products that if I don't put into a post will sit there forever and be forgotten. So before that happens I thought I'd put together post and show you what I've finished lately.

I'm going to start with a product that pretty much features in every product empties post I write. This is my Clean and Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion and I believe this is like the millionth (joking) bottle I've gone through. I use this every morning and some evening to cleanse my face off any dirt, grime or bacteria. It's quite a strong cleanser but is aimed specifically at sensitive skin so it's not going to affect your skin. It contains salicylic acid to help clear away and reduce any bacteria on your skin that could give you a blemish or two. I've been using this for nearly a decade now and I can't find anything else that works as well for my skin. Expect to see a bottle of this in my next empties post as well.

Whilst we're talking cleansers let's talk about my favourite and most used evening cleanser. This is Soap and Glory's Peaches and Clean Cleansing Milk. I've gone through quite a few bottles of this already and I only discovered last summer. It's the perfect gentle yet thorough cleanser to remove all traces of make up including eye make up or just to give skin a good cleanse. A bottle like this can last a while depending on how often I use this but if you do happen to go through it quickly then no worries as it's under a tenner a bottle. I've gotten a full review of this which you can find here.

Let's move onto my favourite face wash. This is the Olay Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliating Face Wash. This is a cream based face wash that contains tiny exfoliating beads that work to remove any dead skin and rejuvenate the skin. I really like how gentle this is on the skin and how soft my skin feels after every use. It doesn't irritate my sometimes sensitive skin and never leaves my skin looking red after I've used it. I don't see any anti wrinkle results from this but as an exfoliator this is better than a lot on the market.

An Olay Anti-Wrinkle product that does actually show anti ageing results is their Firm and Lift Eye Gel. This small pot lasted me month and the results only got better the more I used it. A cool clear gel, this helps reduce signs of puffiness, dark circles and any fine line or wrinkles that you may have. A little bit goes a long way and personally my eyes thanked me every time I used this. Pop a bit on in the morning at the end of you skincare routine and your eyes will look less puffy, more awake and the skin under your eyes will look smoother and line free. The only problem with this product is that it's a bit hard to find to repurchase but for me that's not a problem as I know it works.

Let's continue on the eye cream front. This I like to mix in with my Olay Eye Gel to brighten my under eye area and to help reduce the look of my dark circles. This is the Naturally Radiant Brightening Eye Cream. A small dot of this goes a long way and a tube of this could last a good three months at best. Containing Kiwi and Mulberry extracts this works to soothe the under eye and to blur the appearance of any dark circles you have. I like mixing this with other eye creams to get the best of both worlds but it works well on it's own as well. I've written a full review here if you want to find out more about it.

Another skincare product I've finished lately is this Vitamin E Refreshing Toning Mist. This is like my fourth bottle as I use it every day, two to three times a day. It's so refreshing and hydrating on the skin you can't help but spritz this every chance you get. Containing a mixture of skin loving ingredients this is perfect not only as a toner after you've cleansed but as a pick me up for those warm spring or summer days where you need to cool yourself down. A very fine mist, this won't drench your face and sinks into skin quickly and without disrupting any other products you have on your skin. A product I know I'm going to get a lot of use out in the summer.

Up next we have my Holy Grail night cream. This is the third pot of the Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream and I can already tell you there will be a lot more of these featured in empties posts. I swear by this cream and have managed to get both my best friends and half my work colleagues addicted to this. A thick gel like cream, this is instantaneously soothing when you apply it to the skin and once it's sunk in all you have to do is sleep and let it do it's magic. When you wake up the next morning your skin will look refreshed, soothed and hydrated. It's like a good nights sleep in a pot. A full review can be found here but I'd recommend checking it out without even reading the review.

Moving onto the only two skincare products that I've finished lately are the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub and the Palmers' Cocoa Butter Body Scrub. I love using these two together as they not only create a divine smell but really give my body the exfoliation it needs. The Soap and Glory scrub is a jelly like scrub that smells like limes and is packed with micro beads of sugar and larger beads of scrub to really make sure skin is soft and smooth after every use. The Cocoa Butter scrub is more of a cream based scrub and hydrates the skin as you use it. The two together give a good deep exfoliation to skin without being too harsh or stripping. The smell as well is delicious and will fill your bathroom for hours even after you've finished your bath or shower.

And finally I have an empty shampoo to show you. I go through countless bottles of this as I have really long thick hair but I never think to save a bottle for these posts. This is the Garnier Ultimate Blends The Strength Restorer Shampoo. Containing Honey, Royal Jelly and Propolis this is aimed at fragile hair or hair prone to breakage. I don't have those problems with my hair but as I wear my hair up everyday I use this to help combat any damage that it causes. Ever since I've used this my hair has looked and felt stronger and less damaged. Also it smells divine and the scent lingers in the hair after you've washed it. I've got a full review of the shampoo and conditioner here if this sounds like a good shampoo for you.

So that's it for my product empties. What are you product empties? Are any of them the same as mine? Let me know in the comments.

Review: Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Treatments

Haircare isn't something I talk about a lot on here but I've been giving these a go lately and thought you all deserved to know the greatness these pots contain. These are the Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Treatments, each one is specifically designed to treat a problem you could have with you hair. There are pots for dry hair, coloured hair, dull hair and normal hair. The two I have are aimed at taming frizzy hair and treating fragile hair.

I chose these two pots for a multitude of reasons. Firstly they were exactly what my hair needed/needs. Secondly they smell amazing and lastly if they were as good as my shampoo and conditioner combination then they were winners. And I can safely say that they are even better than my shampoo and conditioner combination. I use the The Honey Treasures Range from Ultimate Blends, it's aimed at damaged and fragile hair. It's really helped strengthen my hair and I can't see my hair agreeing with another combo as much as it does this one. That's why I picked in the hair treatment. Theoretically it should help strengthen my hair and give it that nice shine that I sometimes lack.

The second pot is The Sleek Smoother. As well as having slightly damaged hair, I have very thick hair that goes quite frizzy once it's washed. Well not anymore. Ever since I started using this treatment my hair has been sleeker and easier to work with after washing. It contains coconut oil and cocoa butter to help smooth the hair particles as well as nourish and give it that sleek soft look.

When it comes to using these products they're some of the most simple products to use. Once you've washed, shampooed and conditioned your hair then you pop a scoop of this into your hair and leave it in for three to five minutes before washing it out and styling it as you wish. Personally I like to put this through my mid lengths and ends and then pop it up into a top knot. During the five mintues I leave it in for I usually just potter about the house and do the odd chore.

You don't notice anything whilst your hair is still we but once you put the hairdryer on it then you see how well this treatments worked. I always advise blow drying your hair upside down to give it a volume boost and whilst your drying your hair if it normally becomes very frizzy and unmanagable then it won't with this product. It will look smoother and sleeker and will even feel softer to touch. You can even run a brush through and it won't leave hair static or fly-away. Definitely a winner for me.

Overall I do prefer the sleek restorer more than the honey treasures pot purely for the fact that it makes my hair more managable for every day. However that doesn't mean it's not a good treatment. There are so many to choose from for different hair types then it's really down to you to decide what is good for you hair and what isn't. But if I do advise something it would be to go and smell them all, they're divine.

Have any of you tried these? What did you think? Let me know in the comments. 

March Favourites

Happy Easter Everyone! I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and enjoyed your Easter Eggs. I know I did. And as Easter comes and goes so does the end of March which means one thing and one thing only. It's March Favourites time! This month has a couple of new discoveries and some old favourites I've found a new love for this month.

 My first favourite this month is a product I've been dying to get my hands on since it launched back at the beginning of the year. However it took a while but that wait was well worth the wait. This is the Rosie For Autograph Lipstick in the shade Lady Rose. Now if you've been reading this blog for a while you'll know that I'm a big fan of bold lips but this lipstick alone has managed to make me love and appreciate nude lips. This shade has more of mauve undertone than most nudes so if you struggle to find a nude that suits you, give this a go. My favourite thing about this lipstick is that it doesn't wash out my fair complexion but actually gives my skin some warmth. When it comes to the finish I'd call it a semi matte as when you apply it there is a gloss to it but as you wear it the shine dies down and you're left with a beautiful colour that doesn't budge off the lips and as you can see I've worn this constantly.

My next favourite a skincare product that I'd had my eye for a while but wasn't sure if it was worth adding to my skincare routine. I was very wrong and I can't do my skincare routine without it now. It's the B Refreshed Essence Lotion. Containing Allatonin, Red Algae and Hyaluronic Acid, this essence lotion has perfected my skin and has become an essential product after every cleanse. Don't worry if you're not sure what an essence is, I will be doing a full review of this product very soon. For now though I'll just say that this has helped with the feel and look and of my skin. You can't see it here but I've used quite a bit of it in the last month both in the morning and the evening.

Up next is a product that I'm surprised hasn't already appeared in my favourites before. These are the NipFab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme. These are another essential part of my skincare routine and combined with my essence lotion, my skin has never looked better. These are round cotton discs that are soaked in a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and lactic acid. This combination is aimed to help exfoliate, retexturise and soften skin as a twice weekly treatment. I use these after I've cleansed my face twice a week and love the tingly feeling that it gives my skin afterwards. Immediately skin feels softer and somewhat smoother but it's really the next morning you'll see a difference. Not only will you skin look smoother and softer but make up applies beautifully afterwards. And I know it's a good product as skincare queen Caroline Hirons likes them as well.

My penultimate favourite is a rediscovery for me this month. Now I'm all about hydration especially after I've taken my make up off. Yes I have my essence, toner and a serum but I found my skin was lacking something. So I thought I'd pull out an old favourite and give it a go. And I'm so glad I did. This Garnier Moisture Restore + Night Cream is a gel cream that's jam packed with hydrating ingredients that leave skin feeling softer, smoother and hydrated longer than most creams do. After my serum I've been popping this on, giving my skin a chance to drink this up before I put on my Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream.

The last favourite this month is a haircare product and normally you don't see me talk about haircare products. But this one has seriously changed my hair for the better. This the Garnier Ulitmate Blends, The Sleek Restorer Balm. It's a hair treatment that is supposed to smooth and nourish dry, frizzy hair. Something my hair understands well. As someone who has long thick hair that happens to get frizzy after every wash I've found this a god send. A little bit of this goes a long way, I apply it to the ends of my hair and leave it in longer than the allotted five minutes. Once I've deemed in long enough I wash it out and let my hair air dry for a while before I blow dry it. And when I do blow dry it, I'm blown away. Gone are my frizzy fly away locks and I have smooth sleek looking ends that don't attract every little bit of static it can find. I also like the Honey treatment but the results with that one weren't so bam in your face.

So that's it for my March Favourites. What were your favourite this last month? Let me know in the comments.

Marks and Spencers Beauty Advent Calender Days Sixteen and Seventeen

Welcome back to Days Sixteen and Seventeen in my 24 Days of Beauty Series where I show you what I get in my Marks and Spencers Advent Calender. I'm sorry that I didn't post day sixteen last night but I was out getting into the festive spirit with my work mates. So I thought I'd chuck the two days together and give you a bumper post. 

In Day Sixteen's Box I recieved a Rodial Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel. Now this is a product I know nothing about and haven't heard a lot about either. Now I know a lot of you are probably scoffing at the idea of a product having Dragon's Blood in it and I will say now that I don't believe it's a proper ingredient. But I do know that when I use products including Dragon's Blood that my skin looks better than it normally does. 

As with the other products in this calender if I like it a full review will appear on the blog but if I don't like it there won't be any follow up on it. 

And in Day Seventeen I recieved a tube of the Swell Advanced Volumising Masque. First off this smells horrible and it could be smelt before I even opened the box. This is a hair mask that claims to help improve volume, hair growth and reduce hair loss. It's colour safe and has no silicones, no sls, no build and is a minimum of 97% natural. I'm a fan of hair masks and I like to look after my hair but this one is aimed hair problems I don't have, so I won't be using it but may just pass it on to my mum or a friend. 

I'll see you all tomorrow Day Eighteen.

Marks And Spencers Beauty Advent Calender Day Fourteen

Welcome back to Day Fourteen in my 24 Days of Beauty Series where I show you what I get in my Marks and Spencers Advent Calender. 

 In today's box I recieved the Percy and Reed, Smoothed, Sealed and Sensational Volumising No Oil Oil. It's quite a generous sized bottle as well and I'm sure that it will last a long time. It claims to rehydrate, volumise and add shine to hair. I've never used a hair oil and I am slightly dubious about using one but I will give this a go, partly for review purposes and partly because I've heard good stuff about Percy and Reed. 

If I try it and like I will of course do a full review but if I find it doesn't work with my hair I will probably pass it on to my mum and get her thoughts on it to relay to you guys.

I'll see you all tomorrow for Day Fifteen.
