I was excited and worried to try this! I was worried that the shampoo bar would dry out my hair as it is in bar form. I was relieved that this would not the case! It did make my hair a little harder to brush through afterwards (a bit like dry shampoo can do), but it was definitely worth it due to the uplift it provided, which was especially noticeable near the roots. I also really liked that it came in a plastic-free packaging lasting 2x longer than your typical shampoo. I now need to get a little holder / dish to put it in! I highly recommend this shampoo bar for anyone needing that extra volume boost and also for anyone looking to be more sustainable in their haircare regime. -

This repair and renew mist has a gorgeous lavender and sandalwood scent which is especially lovely for night-time use. What I really like about this spray is that it repairs hair while you sleep which is the time of day when the body is in its optimum repairing stage. The spray itself was very lightweight and did not weigh down the hair nor make it greasy. It definitely smoothed the hair making my split ends less visible as I tend to have them near the front. I definitely recommend this spray for all hair types (especially anyone with fine hair) in need of repair. -

My favourite thing about Tampax Pearl Compak are how small and compact they are. They are discreetly designed so they can easily be disguised in the handbag.
They are super absorbent and feel comfortable whilst wearing them. The plastic applicator is smooth and easy to insert compared to some of the transitional cardboard ones.
The only disadvantage I have found with the compak range is sometimes the applicator can be faulty. When you pull the applicator until it clicks, sometimes when you push to insert it, it can slip and push nothing, resulting in you having to pull, click and repeat the process again. Otherwise, these are great, high-absorbing tampons and I highly recommend them.

My favourite thing about this concealer is how a long it lasts. I have had the tube for ages. The thickness of the cream is a medium thickness and spreads very well. Sometimes I double layer it if covering dark patches. As the cream is not very thick, I feel that it would not fully cover severe blemishes as a thicker cream would be needed.
I really like this concealer cream and highly recommend it for brightening areas, especially dark patches under the eyes!

I like this oval-shaped No7 Foundation Brush. It is evident that is high-quality as it does not leave any bristles on the face like some cheaper branded brushes do.
The brush is not the softest I have tried but it definitely blends the foundation evenly without leaving any stroke marks. I clean the brush once a week with my brush cleaner and it is still in perfect condition after 8 months of constant use.
I highly recommend this foundation brush as it is very affordable and does the job perfectly!

I really love the No7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover concealer. It blends very well in and doesn’t cake or crack when applied over or under foundation.
The shade perfectly suits my skin and it’s great that there are a range of shades available. This concealer is in the form of a stick. I much prefer using a stick concealer for small blemishes as I find it is much better than a liquid concealer due to its thicker consistency. This concealer also lasts all day without having to reapply.
As it is very thick, I cannot comment on how it would look over wrinkles but I can say from my experience it does blends very well. I found that if I put a small amount of moisturiser around the dry areas (e.g. nose) beforehand, it blended even better.
Overall I really like this product and would definitely recommend it!

I had high expectations of this SPF100 cream and I must say it has surpassed these. I was pleasantly surprised that only a very small amount is needed as it is lightweight and spreads well.
This non-greasy cream feels silky under make up and doesn't have that sticky, tacky feel to it like some high SPF products do. Foundation glides over smoothly without caking, leaving my face feeling glowing yet protected, which I was thrilled about as I like to wear face makeup daily.
This is a game changer in high SPF protection!

Mugler - Angel Nova
I love this perfume as it has a gorgeous crisp, fruity-floral composition with notes of raspberry. I absolutely love fruity fragrances so this was right up my street! It lasts a few hours so I found myself reapplying throughout the day.

These washable, reusable Intima wear period pants absorbs and locks in light to medium flows just like a towel (for up to 8 hours).
Are they hygienic?.. Yes! The TriTech performance combines moisture-wicking, absorbent and breathable layers making these pants super hygienic and comfy.
So, how do you wash them?.. You simply rinse them in cold water to release most of the fluids that have been absorbed. Then, just chuck them in your usual wash load (do not use fabric softener). Finally, dry naturally or tumble dry them on a low setting.
How long do they last? They are guaranteed for a minimum of 50 washes!
These look absolutely and feel amazing! I cannot get over how comfy they are. I thought they’d be like Bridget Jones’ big knickers but I was completely wrong. There are 2 styles (bikini and hipster) and two colours to choose from (black and burgundy). I am a size 8-10 and the medium size fit me perfectly. I didn’t want to risk a small size as we can all relate to feeling bloated around that time of the month. I was worried with them being 50% cotton / 50% nylon as I thought the Nylon might irritate me but that was not the case at all as the gusset area was cotton.
They are worth every penny and will completely transform that ‘time of the month’! Not only that, they are sustainable and reduce the carbon footprint!
Go on ladies… you deserve it! ❤️

We all know how popular charcoal toothpaste is, but how does it work? It gently removes impurities to eradicate daily surface stains (tea, coffee, wine, etc.).
We all tend to wonder if it weakens your enamel. Arm and Hammer state the active calcium works to rebuild and restore & strengthen the enamel surface up to twice as much compared to regular toothpaste.
As I whiten my teeth regularly, I was worried that it would cause sensitivity. However, after trying, this was not the case at all. It also has a lovely peppermint, fresh flavour. After one week I could see that surface stains were visibly removed.
The more I use this product, the cleaner and why my teeth felt. I will continue to use and looking forward to seeing the results.
