Products to fix dry/damaged hair

Hello all,

Many of us are no strangers to split ends *looks at straighteners accusingly*, and if you are like me and can't live without heat styling tools, then I have a list of products that have definitely improved the look of my hair and it feels much less damaged.

First off, there is no way to fix split ends, you are just going to have to have a trim and then try to prevent them in the future, these products are great at doing that:



Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect shampoo £3.89 http://www.boots.com/en/Pantene-Repair-Protect-Shampoo-400ml_1330229/
This shampoo has really made a difference to my hair and unlike other brands I have tried, this one has made a noticeable difference, my hair was dull and had no shine whatsoever but now it is shiny and looks healthy. It doesn't smell of anything in particular, just a typical shampoo smell but I don't mind shampoos that aren't fragranced too heavily because anything you use afterwards that has a smell won't be mixed with it.



Schwartzkopf Got 2b Guardian Angel heat protect spray £4.07 http://www.boots.com/en/Schwarzkopf-got2b-Guardian-Angel-220C-Heat-Protection-200ml_1116560/
After washing, follow with this heat protect spray and spray it generously through damp hair. It gives your hair a great shine and as it isn't for use on dry hair you can use a heat styling tool after you have blow dried and it still protects, and up to 220 degrees - perfect for GHDs!





Agave healing oil £16 for 60ml https://birchbox.co.uk/agave-healing-oil-treatment-2194 (this product is a bit pricey but it is a lot cheaper from Birchbox than the official site!)
This is an oil treatment for dry and damaged hair and it works wonders and smells great, warm a small amount in your hands and apply to damp hair, I use it mainly on my ends because those receive the most damage and I have quite oily roots. I tend to use this if I'm letting my hair dry naturally.




Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle leave in conditioner £14 https://birchbox.co.uk/shop/beauty-protector-protect-detangle
This is a really great product, its a leave in conditioner which protects from heat and also helps to detangle your hair among lots of other things! It smells absolutely amazing and it adds a brilliant shine to hair, it comes in a spray bottle to its really easy to apply, again I just use this on my roots as it tends to make my roots quite oily. I will alternate between this and the Got 2b heat protect spray.


I hope these products help you as much as they have helped me!

Budget Beauty: Collection 'Work the Colour' eye shadow palettes

Hello all,

Sorry its been a while, my old laptop was getting extremely slow and frustrating to use so I had been waiting to buy a new one and that moment has arrived! Hurrah! I'm going to revive my blog with reviews of affordable high street beauty products called Budget Beauty. I hope you enjoy!

 

Collection 'Work the Colour' eye shadow palettes

 

 

 

 

I really love these mini palettes, I discovered them only recently and I can't believe how good they are. They are only £3.99 each and the pigments of the shadows are really strong and they are really blendable. I've been using the nude palette almost everyday as its really easy to create a subtle look for work, and the palette is small enough to carry with you so you can easily add more drama for a night out.

 

They all contain subtle shades to darker shades so they are really versatile, they also come with a highlighter. On the back of the palettes is a guide on how to use three colours to create a great eye make up look if you are un certain of what shades to put together, the actual shadows also have the numbers 1-3 on each row.

 

Purple

The purple palette contains an almost white colour, two shimmery pale pinks in a warm and cool tone, a pale pink highlighter, two shimmery lilac tones in warm and cool and three dark purple shades that go from a strong blue tone purple to a more brown toned purple. These colours are perfect for a pretty purple smoky eye or a pale pink nude look.

Blue

The blue palette contains a shimmery snowy white, a shimmery silver, a pale baby blue, a natural tone highlighter, a shimmery blue toned silver, a dark navy, a shimmery dark royal  blue, an almost black blue and a black. These colours are great for those who want to be a bit alternative in their eye make up but can still create a subtle look.

 

 

Nude

The nude palette contains a warm white colour, a shimmery medium nude tone, a shimmery champagne colour, a warm neutral highlighter, two shimmery taupe colours in warm and cool, a gold shimmery brown, a very dark black brown and a black. This palette is great for those who need a versatile palette who need to turn daytime looks into night time looks. 

 

I think Collection is a really underrated brand and I hope that more people try out their products despite the low prices, I am very happy to try out cheaper brands and if the products work, its win win!

 

I hope you enjoyed my first little budget beauty review, more to come soon!
