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?

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

I don't own too many Pressed Powders even though i am quite oily, i know it doesn't make sense! Anyway i came across this and had never tried it!

It retails at £3.99 from most retailers, so definitely a low budget powder.

The packaging could be better, but seems pretty sturdy.

The shade i got was 004 Sandstorm and i have fairly light skin.

 This powder is lovely, finely milled (annoying word- but necessary) and works! Once applied on the skin the powder is not visible at all! It is transparent so doesn't give coverage but it absorbs all the oil. Another  plus about not having coverage, is that it won't look cakey on the skin.

 It claims up to 5 hours of oil control, and i agree! So this one is perfect for those of you who go to school or work for 5 hours. You will need to touch up if you are very oily though!

Overall i really like this product, and would recommend to anyone.

Batiste Dry Shampoo- My Saviour?

This summer I have really wanted to take care of my hair, as i used to wash it every day and it became dry and other horrible things. So since about 2 weeks ago i have been washing my hair every other day and i have seen a huge difference with my hair, but sometimes my hair get a little greasy at the roots so i have started to used Batiste Dry Shampoo.

I got the original- clean&classic version and it does a great job.

Good things -

If used correctly it instantly freshens up your hair when it is a bit dirty.

After use you cannot see or smell it on your hair.

It actually kind of works as a hairspray and adds volume to your style.

Bad things-

There is only one bad thing about this product and it is that you have to really vigorously shake the bottle before use other it leaves this horrible white residue on you hair which is really not a very good look.

Overall i have to say this is an amazing product and i really recommend it!

Love

Handbag Fashion!

 

I was wearing one of my favourite bags today while walking around london and saw how many people wear these bags differently! So i just thought i would share some of the ways i wear this bag. I think it looks amazing with a flowy top, bangles and jeans or leggings :).

This bag is from Primark and i love it, it was around £12! Bargain!
