vo5 Plump It Up Back-combing spray


I am going to share a little bit of my hair background, as one could call it. I have wavy/curly hair, however i often straighten it and that is where is loses all its volume and just is not something pretty. My hair needs that bit of oomph to make it voluminous - like Nicole Scherzinger's hair on the Herbal Essences ad (apart from all the sex noises obviously, hehe). That is why i bought this.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because of the word back-combing. Where i live there was a period of time where girls had backcombed their hair so much it was huge and messy (like Bridget Jones after she got out of the open top car?), do you know what i mean?. Not the look i was trying to achieve anyway.

I was a bit disappointed with this product, as i felt this did not give much volume to my hair at all! I will give it a little slack, i mean it did something but not as much as i was expecting. This will probably work on shorter hair as my hair is long so its heavy. For £3.79 it isn't bad either.


Have you tried this product? What did you think?

L'oreal Touche Magique Concealer


The nuisance of my life, concealers. I am afraid that this is yet another disappointing concealer. For £8.19 i was thoroughly frustrated with this product as I really liked the whole idea of it all.
This is meant to be a dupe for the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat and it is very much inferior to the mighty Touche Éclat.
The packaging is ok although I don't  particularly like the plastic feel or the colour if I am honest, though that is just my opinion. 
To use this product you have to twist the bottom and the concealer comes out into a soft bristled brush, with which you apply onto your face. I feel like the concealer is a watery consistency with minimal coverage. For me it did none of the'anti-fatigue illuminating' effects as it promised, it was a bit too light for me. As I have ranted about my dark under eye circles on numerous occasions. It lasted a full day (yay a bright side) so it is longwearing.
If your looking for a light coverage very natural concealer this one is perfect  for you!
Have you tried this concealer? Did is work for you?

Collection Deluxe Lipstick - Tallulah



Yet another pink lipstick that is being blogged about and the return of the pink background! This is the Collection Deluxe Lipstick in the shade Tallulah and it is £3.99.
Tallulah is a light pink, a mid toned pastel which i thought would be perfect for spring/summer casual 'pretty in pink'-esque look, although i might be inclined to class this as a nude as-well. The packaging i am not a big fan of as the main packaging after a while goes a rusty dark color but that is forgivable as the product is utterly fabulous.
It has a moisturizing non slip texture which sits perfectly on the lips even if they are slightly chapped (possibly too many days out in the sun). It lasts for at least 2 hours before it starts to properly fade. Not the most long lasting lipstick in my collection.
One swish of this over your lips gives an instant color pay off which has to be one of the best things about this product!

Zara Limited Collection Perfume LVIII


My latest craze... perfume! I had actually no idea that Zara did perfume until my friend mentioned it. All that time i had never even known. Almost immediately i went down to Zara to browse their perfumes and i chose this one. I did like the fruity scents as well- don't get me wrong however i felt this was more of a signature scent.
This was 6.99 from Zara, a fabulous price for a perfume. It is quite a heavy scent so i would only spritz the tiniest amount. Overall i love the packaging, scent and price!

Have you ever tried a Zara perfume?
