Korres Hair Care

I have been using this product a little over a month and I have noticed tremendous results. Five weeks ago I got a weave and I wouldn't be without it but one thing I worried about was looking after my hair and the damage it would cause. Not to mention only being able to wash the hair once a week..yuck! The Korres shampoo & conditioner in Almond & Linseed have worked wonders on not only my natural hair, but it is great with hair extensions and has so far kept them smooth and silky. 

Korres - Almond & Linseed Shampoo & Conditioner - £12.50

The scent is to die for and the texture of the product is light and doesn't weigh down your hair. For some this would be quite pricey, I know I wouldn't often rush out and spend a mini fortune on shampoo and conditioner but for something as essential as this and after years of abusing my hair with home dyes and dreadlocks I felt it was about time for some TLC. The almond and linseed is perfect for dry/damaged hair and prevents split ends, I have also found my hair is easier to style. I love the fact a little goes a long way with this product after a month of use I am only half way through the bottles so I find it great value for money as well as a miracle cure for my damaged locks.

There is only one downside I have found with this product and I must say its totally personal preference and altogether petty on my behalf, I would like it if the packaging was the same, that's it I know a bit pathetic to only have one issue but honestly, I am in love with a great product.

Evolve

If you don't already know I have dry/ sensitive skin that can be flaky and itchy although it has improved since coming off my medication but I still suffer from time to time and it's a pain, I can hardly apply fake tan or gradual tanners as it clogs and looks awful. I have a few go to moisturisers and prescribed emollients but I am always on the look out for something different.  

Evolve embody everything you would expect from an organic natural beauty range, cruelty free, recycled materials and a passion to create products that really work. I stumbled across their website while researching natural beauty and just had to give it a go. I usually always start with a moisturiser when trying out a new range and this product didn't let me down. Firstly it smells amazing, there is only one thing that comes to mind when I apply this, and somehow I am taken back to a childhood birthday party. It smells like icing, not a scent you would usually want smothered all over your body but it's wonderful and fresh and in no way sickly. 

Skin Cocoon Body Cream : £14.99 for 200ml

I have been using this product for a good few months now and I love it, it melts perfectly into the skin and its not too thick. I often find products designed for dry/ sensitive skin are heavy and a pain to apply but it glides beautifully over your skin and a little goes a long way. I am excited about this brand and would love to try some more of what evolve have to offer, I'm nearing the end of my shampoo and conditioner, will definitely be stocking up on more evolve products come pay day.

Love Lettuce

At the minute I just can't get enough of Lush Cosmetics, everything from the Sea Salt Shampoo to the Happy Hippy shower gel, it seems everything I am using right now is Lush. I have even booked a treatment in the London Spa :)

 I have always had problem skin ever since I can remember, my anti anxiety medication used to give me dry, itchy skin that would flake and crack on a daily basis and only prescribed ointment seemed to soothe the itching. Three months ago today I stopped my medication all together (hip hip hooray) I had been dependant on them for such a long time I felt I would never cope without them but I am doing wonderful, I am happier, I have more energy and finally my skin is better than ever. Other issues I have been finding with my skin since becoming vegetarian eight months ago now my T Zone has been really greasy, I have tried lots of face washes etc but Love Lettuce has really began reducing my shiny forehead. 

As you all know about Lush products they are all either veggie or vegan, Lush are always at the front line when it comes to fighting against animal testing, and a shocking demonstration in most shop windows in April opened peoples eyes to the effect beauty products has on our poor furry friends.

You can purchase Love Lettuce online and in store and it costs £5.75 for 75g which surprisingly has lasted longer than I thought. 

Application.
Ensure you keep this product refrigerated, I even pop it in the freezer for 5 mins before applying to give it an extra chill. Apply a generous, even layer onto your neck and face, leave on for roughly 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Give your face a good scrub, it feels amazing!!! 

I really can't wait for pay day so I can treat myself to some of the others available, any suggestions?
