My skin and hair favorites!

1. Macadamia Oil - I love love love this stuff but I really don't like the price tag! For a tiny 10ml bottle I think it cost me £5.99 in my local wholesalers which I think is pretty steep but you really can't beat it! You only need a small amount because a little goes a really long way, When I use this I wash n dry my hair as usual and then put a small drop in my hand and smooth it all through my hair and when its dry and styled I add a bit more. I know people can be really put off by using oil, but my naturally straight, grease prone hair loves this it doesn't add to grease or feel like its weighing your hair down! I've also used it on people with REALLY dry frizz prone hair and it works a dream!

2. Moroccan oil Conditioner - Ahh another one of my favorites but again £17.95 is ALOT for a student like me! I used to use the shampoo as well but, although its amazing I felt as thought I was using to much on my thick hair and the price wasn't being justified! BUT I have continued usuing the conditioner which I adore leaves my hair silky soft! and so so manageable!

3. Bio-oil - I brought this ages ago for stretch marks and had it sitting around for a while, then one day I just stuck it on my face before I went to bed! And i've been using it for about 2 weeks now and my skin has never been better! I have had barely any break outs and my skin just feels so soft! I really like what it does, although I probably wouldn't use if you have oil skin as of course it is a oil.

4. Arnica cooling gel - Now this is going to be a bit of a crazy one and I know it might not work on other people like it has with me. I use this for bad break outs my skin was going through a really bad patch about 6-7 months ago and I had some of this laying around so I just put it on my face. If you don't know what Arnica is usually used for you put it on bruises and it helps draw the bruise out? I think and it says you can use it for nettle stings and stuff like that. 'well if its good for buises' and just stuck it on.. well it worked it didn't per-say get rid of my acne but it did make the redness dissapear and they did go down. I probably would say its up too you to put it on your face, I did however speak to a pharmacist and he said its a natural plant so he didn't see the harm! but really really this might also not work the way it has with my skin on yours so use at your own will!

5. Lee Staford Hair that never goes past a certain length - I have only used this once, I've heard great reviews about it and it leaves my hair feeling silky soft at £7.99 a tub its much better value then Moroccan oil and macadamia oil BUT obviously doesn't compare in the quality department! I will let you know what I think of its growing abilities!

6. Garnier Pure - I LOVE this scrub it gets rid of blackheads and removes dirt, It also says it helps with impurities which is good. I love scrubbing my face with this twice a week. My skin always feels so so clean and soft after this! And the best bit... it cost me £2 in Sainsburys! Lush.

Do you girls use any of these? If so what do you think of them?

My everyday essentials!

Gosh Natural touch foundation.

Before I tried this product I only brought it because I was going on holiday in august and wanted a foundation containing an SPF and this one was the only one I could find for a reasonable price in my local superdrug. It contains and SPF 8 and yes it works even for my easily burnt Ivory skin tone BUT now, I couldn't live without it. I really love how silky smooth it feels and how effortlessly it blends and how quickly it drys! It covers all imperfections with ease AND to top it off its an Ivory containing NO orange, I always find that  'ivory' foundations say they are ivory which too me means a creamy white/cream and they're not they're orangey undertones! Irritating. BUT I do love this foundation, I don't think I'd ever buy another!

Elf mineral foundation in Fair.

Oh how could you not love this?! aside from the packaging which can get annoying tapping and tapping with nothing coming out. I love the smoothness, the softness, the matte colour and how easy it is too buff on the skin! I usually use this over the top of my foundation as foundations are always too dewy for my liking! I put a load on a huge brush a buff it all over! If I want a little bit more I just buff a little bit more on, Its so easy to use! If I had better skin I would probably wear this alone, it gets rid of all imperfections complete so you can't see them AT all. PERFECT.

MUA blusher shade 1.

This is my faveriot blushed and for only £1 its a steal! Its a real pinky bubble gum pink, it goes on lightly and is a super lovely colour thats so easy to blend and build up! It really suits my light skin tone really well and I always get complimented on it!

Rimmel Exaggerate eyeliner.

I LOVE this eyeliner, Its perfect the nib could probably be slightly smaller but it's great if you know what your doing! I love it because it takes a little longer to dry and you can go over the same bit a few times without it smudging off and flaking off like some do. The colours intense and last a really long time, and hardly smudges for instance today my eye was watering all morning really bad, I don't know why I think I was tierd, and the smallest amount of eyeliner came off, which was amazing I only had to do a tiny touch up!
FAB!

MUA lipstick in Nude.

Ahhh I only got this a few days ago but i'm already in love! I never ever thought about wearing a nude lipstick but as soon as I put this on I fell pretty hard! I usually have heavy eye make-up so I thought I would tone it down nicely compared to my deep reds and bright pinks! Its a super creamy matte lipstick with a really high pigment! and the best bit? It only cost £1! Super dooooooooper.

Simple cleansing facial wipes.

I've used these for so so long and they are the best, they are really soaked with product so they don't dry easily and soak make-up off effortlessly! They leave you skin feeling soft and clean which I love! They are perfect for sensitive skin and don't make your eyes sting when removing eye make-up! Lovely I love these.

BOSS Orange EDT spray.

Now I usually am a loyal Alien lover and I have been for so so long its my all time favorite, BUT I got brought this as a gift at Christmas and I liked it straight away its light a fruity unlike alien which is dark and mysterious smelling. Its so nice for day time wear and you can really smell the Orange blossom and Vanilla its lovely!
