All gone! Herbal essence beautiful ends hair mask

I have recently had my hair cut into a long bob again so I had the chance to use this product on both long and short hair which was nice to see if there was much difference in the result.

This product is available in the high street and some supermarkets too (I know Asda do it as I got mine from there!!).
Firstly, one of the first things that sways me to buy something is the smell!  This smells lovely!  I had a sniff in the shop and decided to give it a go!
When I had longer hair I needed something like this, but I needed something like this that worked!!!  It was nice to have a hair mask and it does smell nice but honestly I noticed little difference!  Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I couldn't see the real difference it made but I was a little disappointed if I'm honest.

Then I finished the tub up on my new shorted hair and again it didn't do much for it.  I think it made more of a difference to shorter hair but still I wasn't impressed.

Verdict:

I won't buy this again as for my hair type (fine with lots of it!) it doesn't seem to work and I really wanted it to as it smelt fab and was a good price but sadly it wasn't to be!!!

All gone! Invigorate body lotion review

I will start off by apologizing for the photo.  I had meant to retake it and then my lovely husband decided to throw away the bottle as he saw it by the computer!  He was trying to be helpful!!

This product was sent by birchbox ages ago (perhaps before they were called birchbox!)

It is a very zingy smelling body lotion and not zingy in a very citrus way, zingy in an awakening smell that really is quite invigorating!!  This only lasted about a week so it is very hard to say what a difference if any it made to my skin, however it did the job and it moisturized nicely.

Verdict:

I didn't really use enough of it to say if it made any difference moisture wise, but if you are after a nice morning moisturizer that smells very fresh and does awaken your senses a little then this is for you, I won't be repurchasing it right now as I am not in the market for something like this but it is a nice product.

All gone! Dirty works salty butter scrub review

I love browsing supermarket products and it seems quite a few over recent years have been trying to compete with soap and glory's range and Sainsburys is no exception.
I brought their salty butter scrub when it was on offer a while ago and they run regular promotions so you can normally get it with a discount!

The packaging is nice and robust and the lid never broke and always went on properly (a problem I seem to get with my products, maybe I'm a little heavy handed with them at times!!).
The scrub itself smells lovely and if you're a fan of soap and glory's flake away you will like this too.  The texture is a fairly runny cream texture with nice grains in it and you really can scrub away and buff your skin well with this product.
For anyone that has used soap and glory's flake away this is not like that in consistency.  Flake away is very thick and almost waxy in comparison to this, that is quite a good thing when you're wet in the shower as the dirty works one does run off your hands a bit which flake away doesn't!  This product felt grainier to me and I did feel it exfoliated better because of that.

You get quite a lot for your money and I felt I wanted to use the whole tub before I reviewed it and that is why there is a picture of an empty tub!!  You can however see how creamy this product is in the picture and how deep the tub is!

Verdict:

This is a brilliant product for the price, it smells lovely, is very gritty and I would probably buy this over soap and glory's flake away as I felt it did a slightly better job on my skin and I am going to pick some more up next time I am in Sainsburys!

All gone!!

Hi everyone, so many beauty bloggers and youtubers have been doing project pan and banning themselves from buying any other products it has inspired me!  After receiving so many beauty boxes I have started to accumulate a ton of samples on top of what I just can't help myself from buying!  With this in mind and my over full cupboards I decided to do my own version of project pan!
Once I had used 5 products I could treat myself!  Not a huge treat but maybe a new nail polish or lip balm (I am a lip balm hoarder!)  Then once all my body butters or bubble baths were used up I would allow myself to replace them!  So here is what I used up over the last 4 weeks!

6 products used plus a random sample I found in a box of samples!

2 body products and they were the Bodyshop brazil nut body butter, you can't beat the body shop body butters for how quickly they sink in and how moisterising they are.  The brazil nut one was a nice scent for the winter and I'm glad I got through iy so I can focus on spring scents now!  The other was a Jergens natural extra softening moisteriser which I have had for over a year in my cupboard so I thought that had to get used!  It was a nice shea/cocoa butter scent but I didn't love it and it took a while to sink in.

Hair products (excuse the poor photo) I used my bodyshop rainforest hair mask which was nice but nothing special and I don't think I would buy it again.  The other one was the Lush American cream conditioner which I did love!  It smelt lovely and was a nice light conditioner which was perfect for when your hair had a bit of product build up, I may get this again!

The next  items were my Lacura eye cream which was the exception to the rule as it's something I've used for over a year and so is more a daily staple so I did buy more of this as to me it was like running out of toothpaste! 
I'm sure most of you have about 3 or more open hand creams in various places so this was one of my 5!  I am glad to have used one up finally and as much as I liked this Sanctury one I don't think it'll be repurchased.  The cheat product I used up was the Lierac comfort peel from a box a while ago, this didn't really do anything for me and I didn't notice any change or effecs on my skin which is sometimes the problem with these small samples but they are always handy for home facials!

I felt a little bit cleansed after using up a few products and I think I will continue this for a while and next month if I use up some (genuinly use not throw out!) then I may treat myself to a Lush bubblebar or a nice new blusher!
