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?

Lily Flame Blush Candle

I know i am not the only one who loves a good candle, i am one of the many candle lovers in the world. Come into my house and there is always at least 1 candle burning at any one time. Recently i was browsing good old John Lewis and came across this. It is £8.50 full size, which relative to other candles is a fair price.

In all honesty, i tried sniffing some of the other candle and wasn't a huge fan really apart from this one. Blush smells warm and fragrant, it doesn't smell fresh almost musky. When it is alight it the smell is not as strong as it smells when you first open the tin. I really like it, it creates a nice smell around my room and adds warmth as well (not in the literal sense).

Over all i really like the product and the packaging is just adorable!

Natural Collection Blush - Pink Cloud

When i think of Natural Collection i think of girls buying their first bit of make up. I haven't really given it the credit it deserves. I recently bought this blush from Natural Collection in the shade 'Pink Cloud'. It seemed liked the perfect natural pink colour, without going too harsh. It was £1.99 which is a really good price.

Whenever i buy Natural Collection products the product always seems to fall out the packaging, is that a common problem? Its not a huge hindrance it is just a bit annoying when it keeps falling out every time i pick it up.

The colour pay off from this blush is fair, it is amazing if you want a really natural pink cheek. However if you were going to go for the bolder blush look, i don't think this is for you.

Length wise, it stays on mostly all day. Although the consistency is quite powdery and looks it if you build up the blush.

I really like this blush especially as we are getting into spring/summer because i can easily achieve that effortless glowy look for summer!
