John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner Review

A couple of weeks ago I was kindly sent some samples from the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette range. I was sent the shampoo and conditioner. I do dye my often so I was eager to try these out!

The products contain crushed pearls and almond oil and are supposed to protect your hair colour as well as rehydrate and add shine.

The shampoo lathered up really well and after using these I have definitely noticed a difference in my hair, it makes it silky smooth and it really does bring out the tones and adds a beautiful shine! My hair also becomes more manageable after using them.

They have quickly become my favourite shampoo and conditioner! 

I'm now thinking of trying out the colour precision foam hair dye next time I dye my hair. I haven't used a foam dye before so I'm quite excited to try it out! 

Have you tried any of the Brilliant Brunette range?

I'm going to give this hair bow a go, it looks amazing on the model!

Charity Shop Haul August 2013 ♥

The other day I went charity shop shopping, I love it! You never know what you are going to find.

It was a successful day and here are some of the gems I found

I found this Baylis & Harding wild rose & raspberry leaf set in the first shop we went into, it cost £2.

Then I found this pastel blue Laura Ashley skirt, unfortunately it's a bit tight on me at the moment. This cost £4.

I noticed this just as I was about to leave one of the shops, it's a Yankee Candle tart warmer and only cost £3.

I also found a black pair of New Look Yes Yes skinny jeans for £3 and an old key cupboard for £3 that I plan on upcycling! Keep an eye out for some upcycling posts. 

What do you think?

Do you enjoy a rummage through a charity shop as well?

L'oreal Kerastase Spray à Porter Review

I was lucky enough to win a Kerastase set a few weeks ago, included in the set was three of their new "Couture Styling" products, Spray à Porter, Forme Fatale and Laque Couture.

I absolutely love the colours of these bottles! They look so fabulous on my dressing table.

Today I'm going to review the Spray à Porter, I haven't managed to find a tousled effect spray that actually makes much difference to my hair....till now that is.

I sprayed this onto my dry hair, sectioned into two.

The smell is divine! All the products smell lovely.

My hair is not dead straight anyway but I really notice a difference when I use this, it gives me beautiful wavy beach hair (without the sand) and gives it a bit of oomph.  It isn't at all sticky and doesn't weigh my hair down. I cant stand sticky hair products so Spray a Porter is a winner in my eyes. It also holds really well. Theirs not a downside to this product, its all goodness in that beautiful turquoise bottle.

I'm happy that Ive finally found a tousled effect spray that works for me, I use this quite a lot so can imagine I will be purchasing it quite soon when this bottle runs out.

You can buy it from Feel Unique for £19.55, that is quite pricey for a salt spray but in my opinion its worth it.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend ♥

Have you tried any products from the "Couture Styling" collection?

Carboot Haul August 2013 ♥

Today I went to a carboot sale, I haven't been to one in years!

We got there quite late so there wasn't many fabulous finds, but I did get these

Cottage Teapot 

Bird Figures

Pretty Picture

Beauty Finds

The first 3 were from a box I got for £1, the fella was packing up so was pretty much giving everything away.

The Shiseido foundation stick I got for FREE! The lady just gave us a bag a told us to fill it! The stick retails for around £30 so I'm super pleased with this.

Free is my favourite.

The Balance Me body wash I got for 50p, it retails for £9 so another good find.

All in all I think I done quite well, what do you think?
