TRESemmé No Frizz Smoothing Serum

Price: £4.29 or currently on offer 2 for £6 at Superdrug.

'Helps to instantly smooth and calm frizz, leaving hair softer and healthier with great shine. Also helps protect hair before and after drying and helps prevent split ends.'

When I hear the word 'serum' I instantly think 'miracle in a bottle!' as I'm sure most of us do. With those claims ^ this certainly sounds like one.

These products are always hard to review because how do you know it protects your hair before and after drying? and helps prevent split ends? You don't, but you know it's doing something.

I pump two pumps into the palm of my hand and with the ends of my hair, I 'paint' (The ends of my hair are the brush and the serum is the paint, kapeesh?)

You expect a product like this to feel greasy, but it isn't. First of all you think it's greasy, because it's a liquid, but it leaves no greasy residue on your hands.

Instantly, my hair feels extremely soft and feels/looks healthy.

This product just works.

I don't know if it protects my hair or prevents split ends, but I know it's doing something positive and I'm going to continue using it :)

Collection 2000 Extreme 24hour Felt Tip Liners - Review and Swatches

Left to right: Black, Blue, Purple, Teal.

Price: £2.99 each

Collection 2000 say:

Be bold, bright and beautiful!

The fast drying versatile felt tipped pens give your makeup look an instant burst of colour.

Easy-to-apply felt tip nib for all day long lustrous looking eyes.

Set trends with four intense, high powered hues including purple, blue, teal and black.

The felt tip design makes these easy to apply and the colours are highly pigmented (Apart from the black, which isn't as intense as I would like it to be). A quality we all look for in a product is it's staying power and these certainly have that, so much so that these leave a slight stain.

The swatches above show the liners normally, and then the result of rubbing forcefully (No jokes please!) and lastly the result of wiping (Again, forcefully) with a facial wipe. You can see the stain they have left on my arm.

These stains can probably be removed with a lot of force and products, but I don't think this will be good for your eye area.

I love the price, felt tip design, colours, pigmentation, staying power, but not the stain afterwards!

For £2.99 though, I would definitely try these out.

UPDATE: I've been wearing the black and it's so easy to use, lasts all day and doesn't stain, definitely a new favourite :)

Nubar 2010 Preview

This is just a preview because I want to take more photos but couldn't wait to show you!

Nubar 2010 is £6.80 on Feel Unique's website but I had 20% off :)

Swatches:

They're not very good so that's why I want to take more in the next week. The reflective flakes main colours are copper and green but other colours sneek their way in, in certain lighting (Looks pink on my blue nail at the moment)

Gorgeous isn't it?

You will be seeing more of this in the next few days :)

Someday Summary

Hello my lovelies! Hope you're doing well :)

This week has been a happier one for me, woop!

Purchase of the week:

Sleek haul and Nubar 2010 (Which has already arrived). Later today I might do a quick preview post on Nubar 2010 because I have some photos, but I would like to get better ones :)

Sleek's 50% off sale... woaaah, what a curfuffle! Because thousands of people were trying to get on the site, it was going extremely slow, kept crashing and was emptying baskets. Sleek received a lot of abuse, which I think was unfair (But then again, people were trying to order for hours/days so I can understand their annoyance) and they were giving us 50% off! We're lucky we got anything at all! Sleek were kind enough to give us an extra day of the sale. Next time I think they should give each time zone a different sale day, then we're not going to have America, United Kingdom and Europe all trying to get on the site at once.

Food of the week:

Not technically a food but BBQ sauce! So good!

High point of the week:

I've had quite a few actually :) I received a cardigan and silver button necklace from Tesco, my Nubar 2010 arrived (I keep mentioning this haha) and this morning I received a hugeee package from Superdrug. Included was 6 Maybelline lipsticks, 2 Maybelline eyeshadows, Maybelline mascara, 7 Mememe nail polishes, 4 Collection 2000 mascaras and 4 Collection 2000 felt tip eyeliner pens. Reviews coming soon (Lipsticks reviewed in previous post)

Oh and I've made $22.20 commission from people using my Sigma link when purchasing! I'm so happy!

Another high from this week is Psychology! This has been in my low points for weeks and although I haven't improved much yet, I'm making progress. I won a game in Psychology as I answered all the questions right and although this doesn't seem like a big deal, it is to me. Another thing is that I had my first mentor meeting with my Psychology teacher Thursday (One on one help) and we decided that my good qualities are: I understand the work, I'm focused in class and I'm organised. My bad quality is that I'm not motivated at home, so we've come up with a few techniques to help this :)

Low point of the week:

Tons of homework and RAIN D:

We heart it time:

TRESemmé Smooth Silk Shine Finishing Spray

Price: £4.29

'Revives tired hair, adding shine. Its lightweight formula tames frizz, without leaving hair feeling greasy.'

Since using the TRESemmé Smooth range, my hair has been unbelievably soft! My hair has always been soft but it's in a league of it's own now :)

You only need one distant spray of this, maybe two if you want to do the bottom of your hair as well. Too much of this, like most products, could leave your hair looking greasy.

This product leaves my hair shiny and feeling ultra soft. Because you only need a couple of sprays with each use, this product will last an extensive amount of time.

So if you would like shiny, soft hair for a reasonable price, I definitely recommend this :)

Tesco 'Post it on'

Tesco have created this tag and the Blogger tagged gets to choose something from the clothing range and blog about it. The beautiful Natalie from Beauty has no label nominated me to pass the tag on to! Thank you so much Natalie :) Please go and have a look at her blog, she is absolutely gorgeous and if you don't believe me, take a look at a few of her FOTD's!

My clothing style is casual and simple and I've wanted to get a knitted cardigan for a while so that is what I chose!

It's a weird material and for some reason I was expecting a different type of material but I like it :) It also has silver threading to give it a little more 'umph' if you know what I mean. You can choose between grey and cream and it is priced at £16. Click here to take a look :)

There are multiple items which I am tempted to get; gladiator stilettos, ankle boots, bobble hat and ear muffs!

You know the rhyme 'So-and-so go to Tesco's, to buy all their best clothes'? This applies to me! They have a wonderful line of clothes.

Tesco were sweet and sent me this too:

Sterling silver button necklace! I love it :)

Thank you Tesco and of course, thank you Natalie :)
