Whats in my shower?

I love reading through 'Whats in my shower' posts to get new ideas on what to get next. My shower supplies seem to run out like crazy so i'm constantly changing up products and trying new things. This is what i currently have in my shower and i must say i love it all!

Happy Reading xox


Loreal Elvive Full Restore 50 Second Saviour Intensive Conditioner - Ive been dyeing/bleaching/highlighting  my hair since for ever and it began to take its toll a long time ago. I have been on the hunt for a miracle treatment to make my straw bleached hair into luscious silky locks for such a long time. I seem to have stumbled upon a  concoction of lotions that really does my hair the world of good and im pretty sure this product is partly the reason. As always i leave it on for longer than it says too (you hair might be different) and i really love the outcome.

Anna Sui Secret Wish Shower Gel - I love love love this body wash. I got it in a set with the perfume and body lotion and using them together before a night out or with the lotion before bed is lovely. There's nothing nicer than stepping out of the shower, applying your favorite lotion, lighting a candle and reading a book before bed. 

Olay Essentials Face Wash -This product completely does its job. It take of all of my make up in the shower if i'm feeling lazy and leaves my skin feeling super soft. I wouldn't say it was my favorite face wash of all time but it definitely does the job well. 

John Freda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Shampoo & Conditioner - I'm going to try not to rant on about these products.. but i cant get enough of them. If you have blonde/bleached/highlighted hair please try these out. There's allot of mixed reviews about 'silver shampoos' which essentially is what these are. Some say they're great for keeping yellow tones away and some say they just darken your hair even more seeing as they're dark purple. Personally i love silver shampoos, but not only do they keep my hair the colour i like, it leave my hair sooo soft! 

Venus Razor - Everyone and there dog probably has a Venus. There great easy and soft on the skin. Trust me being a student and basically having no money for a large percentage of the year i have tried all kinds of cheapy razors and guess what... they cut my skin and hurt like crazy. not good. One thing not to skimp on.. Razors.

Loofah - Is that whats its called?? well i couldn't live without it. It foams up with our shower gel and makes you feel completely pampered.

ASDA Skin System Face Scrub -  This scrub is good for when your skin hasn't really got any blemishes or problem areas as its very light on the skin, not abrasive like st ives face scrub with i love for when i have break outs and need a really good exfoliating. 

Lush Marilyn - I heard about this product in a blog somewhere and had to have it. Its sort of like a silver shampoo in the sense of it supposedly making your hair lighter. Ive used it twice and half of it has gone already.. so for £10 i wouldn't say it was great value if you only get 4 uses. I would say i noticed a difference but that might just be wishful thinking? 

If you have tried any of the products let me know what you think? or of any you think i should try??

Until Next Time

The Power Of Love - Gabrielle Aplin

I'm completely obsessed with this song at the minute! It's from the John Lewis christmas advert which I'm sure all of you have seen. I've literally had this on repeat constantly for the last 2 days.
Just thought I'd quickly upload the link before I get on with my next post. (I'm thinking a 'Room Tour'??)

Let me know what you think?? :)




Enjoy! Xox

9 Things I Can't Live Without

So I thought it would be fun to come up with 9 things I can't live with out. This was NOT easy by any means, but I managed to whittle it down to a measly 9 items. Obviously I'm not including necessity's like a tooth brush, deodorant, body wash etc cos that would be boring and everyone has them..lets hope! If You where sent to a desert island and only allowed 9 items what would you choose??
Here's mine :)


1. Barry M Nail Polish - My favourite colour is 'Raspberry' but honestly I love nearly all of them. Though I recently bought the color 'Nude' and it's really not good at all. I applied 3 coats and it still wasn't opaque at all.
2. Topshop Blush in 'Flush' - I also love 'Head Over Heels'
3. Vaseline - everyone needs Vaseline. Especially me. I have super dry lips 365 days if the year so this baby comes in handy!
4.  Batiste - in Blush or Cherry. Mmm the Cherry scent smells soo good! Not so keen on the Lace!
5. Any hair treatment/leave in conditioner - the 4 I'm currently using - Argon oil, Aussie Miracle Colour Insurance Leave-in Conditioner, Lush's 'Marilyn' Hair Treatment and Charles Worthington Hair Healer (My Favourite).
6.St. Moriz - Really good really cheap fake tan. Easy to apply and for £3 you can't go wrong! LOVE IT!
7. The Tangle Teaser - seriously I could not live without this! My hair is like a lions as soon as I jump out of the shower and if I let it dry naturally I have no chance of taming it. The tangle teaser make it soo much easier for me and prevents my hair shaping and breaking off every time I brush it. Go out and get it if you haven't already. You don't know what our missing!
8.  Bourjois Volumizer Mascara 2in1. This mascara is amazing. I dont have the longest lashes in the world :( but this makes them long and fluttery. It does create a lot of volume - which sometimes can look 'clumpy'...but I quite like that. Is that bad?!
9. Palmers Cocoa Butter - okay so you've obviously all heard of it but it HAD to be included. I use this every single day. It smells seriously gorgeous, I could eat it and it leaves my skin silky smooth.


What would you choose guys??
