Hair Care Must Haves
I am currently on a mission to have beautiful long hair, right now my hair is a bit longer than shoulder length and at that point where it doesn't seem to grow much longer.
To reach my dream hair goal I think it is very important to invest in a good Shampoo and Conditioner, I have wanted to try Kerastase for a long time as I have heard many good reviews about the products. Luscious locked celebs like Blake Lively and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swear by kerastase products. I initially wanted to purchase it from a salon so I could discuss which product was best for my hair type, but i did have my sites set on the above Shampoo and Conditioner.
In the end the stylist recommended i purchase the above products she also mentioned that many people think a Conditioner is more important than a Shampoo but this is untrue she explained that if i was to just buy one of the two it is best to invest in a good Shampoo.
I shampoo twice, you only need a pea size amount then towel dry my hair and work the conditioner through the lengths, leave on for around 5 mins but it can be left on longer and rinse off. it leaves my hair looking soft and shiny and feels light and amazing!
I LOVE this shampoo and conditioner they will definitely stay a permanent fixture in my bathroom, although i am a beauty product junkie so i will have to try out their other products. if you don't have a salon near you that sells Kerastase products you can purchase them from Feel Unique

Products worth blogging about
Regular readers may remember i blogged about my beauty essentials here although I'm still loyal to these products i love trying out new products, so thought i would share with you my latest beauty hero's that i have discovered and fell in love with.
from left:
Tangle teezer: This trusty hair saviour i now can't live without. used in all good salons this gets all pesky knots out of your hair but its clever design doesn't ruin your locks. use when wet or dry.
Kerastase reflection chroma riche: As i write this i am sat here with this luxury masque on. Ive always wanted to try a product from the kerstase range so decided to try one of the masques. The masque i choose is for colour-treated or sensitised hair. you can apply the masque after shampooing leave on for 5-10 mins and wash off. for a special treat for my hair i usually apply the masque and leave on overnight, wash off in the morning and it leaves my hair super soft. i cant praise this product enough i highly recommend it.
Maybeline Great Lash Mascara: Possibly the best mascara i have used, and i will continue to use it. Sometimes you don't have to splurge on high end brands, when the highstreet has quality products. This lengthens lash's with no clumps. exactly what more could you want from a mascara.
Tommy Guns "leave me in" Conditionaire & Styling Creme: I had heard good things about Tommy Guns and found this when scouring an Asos sale, now i couldn't live without it. this handy multi-tasker smells lush, protects hair from heat styling and environmental damage, and leaves hair looking shiny and smooth. The result? Kardashian esque locks. I use mine on wet hair before styling and in between on washes on dry hair to keep it smelling lovely. :)
Kiehls creme de corps: I'm sure all beauty fanatics will be familiar with the cult classic creme de corps. this has been on my wish list for a while and i decided to finnaly make a purchase. I'm a very happy customer! with very smooth skin! although this comes with a pretty high price tag for body moisturiser if sexy smooth skin is what you're after this is worth it. especially with the cold weather causing dry skin the rich texture of this creme will banish any dry areas - if you splurge on one thing this winter make it this.
Ped egg: There has been alot of hype around this popular beauty gadget, which has sold four million in just two years. The clever foot file did what it promised and gave me "baby soft" feet. Alot of people can neglect their feet, but its important to look after your feet as much as you do the rest of your body. If you cant afford to indulge in pedicures regular use of the ped egg will keep your feet smooth. it is the most effective and easy to use foot file i have used.
Dermaloigca special cleansing gel: Dermalogica products overall are great. I trained as a beauty therapist using these products and have loved them ever since. The idea is to keep things simple the packaging is not fancy because it is all about the quality of the product. They don't use harsh ingredients, and with regular use your skin will improve.
I bought this cleanser after a dermalogica facial and it was recommended for my skin type. But the good thing with this cleanser is it is for all skin types. It removes all impurities leaving my skin feeling clean and fresh.
Clarins Daily Energizer Lotion SPF15: I'm not using the rest of the dermalogica products purely because I'm a beauty product junkie! When new products come out such as the Clarins young skin range i just cant help myself. the new range is designed for teenage to late twenties skin and aims to help the problems young skin faces and also to fight the signs of ageing.
I have to be honest when i first started using this lotion i loved it. it was a great base for my make up moisturised my skin and had a lovely light texture, but now with the weather getting cold I'm finding dry patches and the lotion doesn't seem to be a good enough moisturiser for my skin in the cold weather.
I'm not giving this product a total thumbs down as while it may not moisturise my skin well enough it might be perfect for another persons skin and i loved it before the weather changed!
Also want to add the importance of SPF i wouldn't buy a moisturiser without it.
Diorskin Forever extreme wear flawless makeup SPF25: Ive been using this foundation for about 2 years now and i will continue to use it. i love it! With makeup i don't mind splurging on quality foundation. This feels lovely to apply and although it is full coverage it doesn't feel like you are wearing alot of makeup. It leaves skin looking flawless and is extremely long wearing.
Simple eye makeup remover: Not too much to write about this product its in the brand name really. i was using makeup wipes to remove my eye makeup and they were making my eyes really sore. Now i have discovered this i will never use wipes to remove my eye makeup again. Simple eye makeup remover removes all traces of eye makeup but is gentle and doesnt irritate my eyes. - Perfect!
Boots Organic Rosewater Toner: Ahhh this toner feels so refreshing. Toner is my favourite part of my skin routine and i love this one. it gently removes any last traces of dirt while soothing and leaves skin feeling clean refreshed and supple. i love organic natural products and this one really works when i run out i really noticed the difference, so this toner is now a permanent fixture in my skin routine.
Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream skin protectant: Also a cult classic which i blogged about in my beauty essentials. This is the product that i have used the longest and will keep on using. its a must have multi tasker for everyone. The cream restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked, dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. I use daily on my lips and lately have been using it in the evening on any dry patches i have on my face. i couldn't live without it!

Serious Lusting
Every girl needs a great pair of ballerina flats in their shoe collection, while I'm sure we all love to rock a pair of sexy heels that elongate your legs and add the finishing touch to a great outfit when I'm shopping or on my feet all day i know heels aren't my choice of footwear! it might be Victoria Beckham's every day choice - and she looks great! but my feet simply couldn't deal with that! But that doesn't mean just put anything on your feet. Shoes are really important you could have a great outfit on but team that with a crap pair of shoes...well no longer a great outfit don't you agree? for those days when you want to slip on some comfy but chic flats French Sole is your go to destination for all that's chic in luxury ballet flats. I need a pair!
I've been craving pretty pleating lately and this chiffon midi by rare at Topshop hits the nail on the head. I'm in love with this girlie creation i love the length, the colour, and the pleats of course! i can't wait to make my purchase and twirl round in my new pretty pleated midi! :)
If you're off on holiday this year (lucky!) The one hair product you need to pack is the new Huile Celeste by Kerastase, this little wonder product filters harmful, colour fading UVA and UVB. It also moisturises without greasiness and has a subtle shimmer.
The creators of cult beauty product Touche Eclat have come up with another must have make up bag fixture. not only is the new Rouge Volupte sheer candy lipstick lovely to look at it comes in 6 gorgeous shades nourishes lips and gives them a subtle shine. what more could you want from a lipstick?
