My 4 day Palmer's Ultimate Recovery Hair Treatment

So summer is great and all but seriously my hair has had enough. It's frazzled, It's a mess and in need of help. But fear not, the great thing about summer, is you can pretty much do whatever with your hair during the heat and get away with it. So I stumbled upon Palmer's instagram and saw a deep hair treatment that you just leave on and decided to do my own twist on it and see what happened. These products are recommended for more curly, dry, thick hair, which is my hair type to a T. I didn't wash my hair for 4 days and simply drowned my hair in these goodies and this is what happened.

First of all I'm gonna give you the low down on what these products are and what they are supposed to do.

1. Coconut Oil Formula Curl Condition Hair Pudding
Once I have washed my hair, I leave it wet and I put so much of this stuff on. It's so cool, it has this really weird jelly texture to it and I really go to town lathering this stuff on. This is perfect for defining curls and giving your hair that silky, healthy appearance.

2.Coconut Oil Formula Moisture Gro Shining Hairdress 
Although this says use on dry hair, I apply this all over my wet hair after the pudding conditioner. This really has the texture of pure coconut oil and really feels like a balm consistency. I put about a 50p size dollop in my hands and warm the product up, I focus this on the mid sections of my hair because that's where I find my hair to frizz the most.

3.Coconut Oil Formula Super Control For Edges
After the previous two steps, I slick my hair back and swirl it into a little top knot. Now the single most annoying thing about slicking my hair back is the little wispy baby hairs that pop up and somehow defy gravity, like they've been for astronaut training at Nasa. It stopped me wearing my hair back for years, but this is a miracle. This stuff feels like putty and is really like glue , and it slicks my hair back and I feel like a supermodel. My baby hairs just do not move all day, it really gels my hair back fuss free. I even keep a spare one in my hand bag for on the go. I think this is perfect for just any one who wants that really intense slicked back hair do.

4. Coconut Oil  Zero Break Reconstructor 
To finish the look off I just spritz this all over my little bun, you can do this before you put your hair up, but I just feel like it really sinks into my hair when I spray it over the bun. This makes your hair so much less likely to break and really strengthens it, so perfect for my damaged coloured hair.

And that is it, I'll add a scarf and then just brush it through ever morning and add a bit of moisture go, if my hair feels dry. I thought this was perfect, as I love to go the gym, it's the perfect way of ensuring my hair stays out of my eyes and is actually getting a really good condition too.

So after the fourth day I washed my hair, just using my regular shampoo and conditioner. The results of this astounded me. My hair looked like it had never been touched by any kind of curler or straightener and certainly did not look damaged or coloured. My hair swishes and catches the light and really just shines again. I try and do this treatment every two weeks, using my Uberliss Nutritive Hair Mask in the shower, in-between treatments to maintain the quality of my hair. This treatment only takes 5 minutes to do and the benefits really pay off. It gives an effortless, quick, sleek style that is great for the heat and gives you supermodel hair!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
