Va..Va..Volume

Hi Girlies ♥

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday! I'm currently having a lil lazy day. Me and the boy got up and went shopping in Stirling, which is about half an hour from where I live. It's so rainy here right now so we just stuck to the shopping centre. Had a little wander around Primark and picked up a few goodies :) Then headed for a Subway (YUM) then home.

I just thought I would let you guys know about my favourite volumising hair product.



Angel Fish StyleAngel Big 'N' Sexy Volumising Spray.

As I've mentioned in previous posts I have quite fine hair, so injecting volume that LASTS is my biggest challenge. Especially if I am preparing for a big night out. I came across this product in Boots about a year ago and now I am never without a bottle of this on my dressing table.
It smells gorgeous. Kinda coconutty without being overpowering. I spray it on to towel dried hair and then blow dry. It also contains a 220ยบ heat shield, It gives my hair lots of lovely volume but doesn't feel sticky or heavy. And the effect really does last.
Volume...Heat Protection...Gorgeous Scent.
What more could a girl want?

Have any of you guys tried this? What are your favourite volumising products?

Pantene Pro V Aqua Light & Mini Giveaway (Now Closed)

Hey lovlies :)

Hope you've all been having a fab week! It's almost the weekend!! Whooo hooo!!

If any of you guys follow me on Twitter (link HERE) you'll have read that I recently got a sample Shampoo and Conditioner from the new Pantene Pro V range: Aqua Light. This was sent to me as I filled in some details from a website called SuperSavvyMe.com - not sent from Pantene themselves.

Anyway, the premis behind the new product is to provide deep cleaning without any horrible residue.

"Virtually No Residue, Virtually No Weight, Just Beautifully Nourished Hair."

I have very fine hair and I have to wash it everyday. I have heard all the lectures etc etc. I don't know if it is really damaging for my hair but what I do know is if I didn't wash it everyday I'd be a very unhappy chappy. It's oily and lank and dry shampoo just doesn't cut it. So I think this product is amazing.

It cleans all the dirt out my hair, which is standard for any shampoo, I know. But once I'd dried it, even after applying some volumising mousse, my hair still felt really light and smooth. I normally use volumising shampoos and I feel that after use I can feel the product still in my hair. But not with this. And my hair wasn't any flatter then normal. As for results? Well it's now almost 7.30pm - around 13 hours since I washed my hair and nearing the time when I'd normally scrape it back out of my face and although it's a little flat it doesn't look greasy. A little back comb and a spritz of hairspray and I'd be good to go!!

This one is certainly a winner in my book!!

Just for a bit of fun I'm going to do a little mini giveaway. Nothing too exciting but I will be giving away a Aqua Light shampoo and conditioner to one of my subscribers. The prize will not be donated, I will purchase this with my own money. All I ask is for you to leave a comment below telling me what your favourite Shampoo and Conditioner is and you will be in with a chance to win the prize!! Leave your email address in your post so I can contact you.
WINNER WILL BE PICKED ON SUNDAY 26TH SEPT

Thanks girls...

MUA

Hey everyone.
I know I am late on the bandwagon with this stuff but my local Superdrug has only JUST started stocking the MUA range. If you by any chance have not heard of MUA it's Superdrug's own make up brand where each item costs only £1!! YES ONE POUND!!

So I'd seen lots of blogs and YT vids on this and thought I'd try them out. Firstly I got 2 eyeshadows.


Shade 14 Left, shade 7 Right





And just be awkward it's back to front in this pic!! As you can see shade 7 is a lovely pearl green colour and 14 is a gorgeous slate gray colour. Both shadows are extremely pigmented and the colour is soo buildable. I used these two colours to create my FotN look in my previous post.
So as I was so impressed by these two products, I hot footed it back to Superdrug to pick up some more goodies!!


So, clockwise from top left we have shade 10, shade 20, shade 8 and eyeliner shade 4.

Bubbliscious!!!

Hola chickas!!!

I just wanted to share a quick WOW moment with you!!! I finally used my Lush bubble bar - the comforter - this morning. The bar is quite big so I broke it in half and crumbled it under the running tap. I just had to share.....




Bubbles Galore!!! I can honestly say out of all the bubble bars I've tried this has definately given the most back in terms of bubble, colour and fragrance!!! I felt like a princess in my gorgeous pink bath!!! :)
My skin also felt smooth afterwards and I can still smell the scent lingering on my skin! And with only HALF the bar!!! I can't wait to use the other half and I can't wait to repurchase!!!

Love & Bubbles,
Debs xx

LUSH-IOUS

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is well. Ahhh I have 35 followers - how exciting! Thank you to each and every one of you. I can't believe you wanna follow little old me :)

As I said in my last post I recently took a trip to Lush, so I thought I'd show you the goodies that I got. I adore Lush and have tried a few of their products before. Unfortunately there is not one very close to where I live so I don't get to go very often. I have ordered online before too, but it's just not the same. I like to go into the store and SMELL the products before I buy them. Some things sound nice on paper, but in reality, they may just not be for you.

Anyways...


Yay!!

So the first thing I got was Dream Cream.


I'd been after this baby for a while. I'd heard all about it on many a YT video and blogs so I had to get it. I really love the consistency of the cream. Nice and thick so it really does pack in the moisture. Although it;s thick, it's not too hard to rub in, which is a bonus! I hate when I have to rub for ages and you still end up with a white leg cos the darn product just won't rub in. I've been using it on my feet, my legs and my elbows. It's great for night time as it has a lovely lavendar scent. Some have said it's too overpowering, but personally I love it. It's priced at £9.85 for 240g.

LUSH Say:
Calming and dreamy.

Incredibly soothing body lotion for troubled skin. Dream Cream is Lush's best-selling product because it makes sore skin feel good again. Chamomile and lavender calm irritations, reduce redness and banish blotches.
