PRODUCT REVIEW | NEVER A DULL MOMENT FACE POLISHER

 ORIGINS NEVER A DULL MOMENT SCRUB REVIEW:

Good evening Little Ones! It's time for a product review, it's been a minute but I'm back in the game! I'm in the middle of trying out several new products, but I want to ensure that I give them all a fair review; so they will eventually be released sporadically.
As you can tell by the title, I have a beloved Origins product! If you want to know my detailed opinion on this wonder, keep on reading!
To ensure you are keeping up to date with my daily blog posts, click here to read more! Without any further or do, let's roll on the review!



THE PRODUCT:

As we are all aware of by now, Origins produce and market exceptional products, before this face polish, I'd only dived into their mask and moisturiser pool. I originally needed something to combat the misbehaving dry patches swallowing my skin, I didn't use those exact words; as the consultant may have looked at me funny, but you get the gist.
She showed me several products and tested them out, but they weren't doing much ... Until she pointed out their staple holy grail product; which just so happened to be never a dull moment face polish. 
Automatically I fell in love with the vibrant orange package, it reminded me of a jumper my mother owned, she placed the product on my hand, the texture was peculiar, it held it's shape which I enjoyed-it meant that it was rich in texture, so heavy duty! If this didn't murder my dry patches, nothing would. 
A few weeks down the line and it's my number one facial scrub, if you have stubborn dry patches, this is the product for you, it's fantastic when I feel that my skin is going to be a pain, I use this before I apply my make-up, nothing irritates me more than dry skin clinging onto foundation. 
In relation to smell, it's enchanting ... Fresh fruit, and not the tacky fake aroma either, when you pop open the cap, it's like cutting open several ripe mango's; I adore rubbing this into my skin, even wakes me up in the early morning.  
Just to briefly mention, a lot goes a long way, as portrayed in the image above, that tiny blob managed to cover the entirety of my face ... Have you seen the size of my forehead? Enough said. 






THE PACKAGING:

I know, you normally see this segment first, but I'm switching it up on the blog! Anyhow, back to the packaging! Can we just take a moment to appreciate how luxurious and vibrant this product radiates. Simplistic is the key in my book, if you over complicate the packaging, my assumption is that the product quality isn't there; whereas Origins remain elementary, yet elegant ... It's screams Origins, without rubbing it in their audiences face. 
The contrast between the mango and white is fantastic, it enhances the rich colour of the natural papaya and mango, delves deep into their company ethics, and raw ingredients, hence the iconic oak tree as their staple logo. 
Something else to mention, the squeeze component is great for dispersing an even amount of product, and because of the formula is doesn't stick or get clogged around the edges, which I love!
I hate it when you fall in love with a mask, or scrub, and after a few applications, it looks like a murder scene. 


THE PRICE: 

This baby retails for, £26.50, it's up there in price, but I've spent more than triple to finally obtain the perfect product. I've been using this face polish for over a month now, and I've barely made a dent ... And I use it at LEAST 3 times a week, as portrayed in the pictures above, that tiny blob on my hand covered the entirety of my face. 
If you have extremely dry and sensitive skin like me, this will become your new best friend ... You can inform your former best friend that they've been replaced, they will understand why. 
I honestly haven't found a dupe for this product as of yet, but I've been on the hunt as I know not everyone can afford the high price point; but I will dry my best! 
On the other hand, it's really worth the splurge, it really does work, your skin feels like velvet! If you are hesitant, head into your nearest Origins counter, and get them to try it out on you, it'll be love at first sight!

That's it for today's blog post, sorry it was late, I've been busy doing some revision for my exam on Wednesday! I'm really looking forward to it ... Strange to say, don't judge!
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the read, I will see you again tomorrow with another blog post! It'll be a little adventure so stay tuned for that! 
I love you all so very much! Stay safe and stay tuned :) x x x

ORIGINS OUT OF TROUBLE MASK REVIEW

ORIGINS 10 MINUTE OUT OF TROUBLE MASK

Good afternoon Little Ones! Now that I'm wide awake, I thought that I would start the day with a good old fashioned blog post! I'm currently sitting up in bed, trying not to sneeze on my laptop; yes the flu has taken over me, but I'm perusing on! I took to Instagram and Twitter, and yet again you wanted a product review, so I'm giving you just that. I've already filmed a video on this product; if you want to watch that then click here! If not you might as well stay here! Anyhow, let's get on with the blog post!






THE PACKAGING:

Well hello! Their iconic oak tree stables Origins, it's simplistic yet pristine, it doesn't appear to be cheap in the slightest; maybe medical? But that's not a bad trait to obtain, especially  for a skincare company. Is it the BEST packaging I've seen? No, but it's definitely not the worst, it's simple, that's all there is to it I'm afraid, if you came here for an essay in this department, your going to be disappointed. But something I will mention about the packaging aspects is the tube, and funnel ... The tube makes it easy to travel with as it's not bulky or awkward to pack. In relation to the funnel, (where the product comes out of); it's the perfect size, that may sound strange; but I've used other products where it's TINY; and it takes FOREVER to squeeze the product out of the container. But I don't have that issue with this, it''s something so slight; but for me that could ruin the overall performance of the product. 

THE PRODUCT: 

Now onto the main event! How does this product perform? Let's say a little goes a long way, I've had this product for nearly a year, and I use it at LEAST once a month, and there's still more than half in the container; so if you are hesitating at the price, this will last you for at least a year, so keep that in mind.
Once applied to the skin it feels refreshing, and there's no pungent aroma attached either. I know with some skincare products this can be a massive issue, but not with this product. When applying the product it glides on like a dream, doesn't clump up, and doesn't slide off the skin; it stays put! A short amount of time on the skin and it starts to tingle, but it's not painful, the only way to describe it, is that it's doing something to the skin; without causing irritation to the skin, eyes, nose or mouth area.
After around the 10 minute mark the mask it utterly dry, but it doesn't make your skin feel like the desert; which is always a plus. When it's time to take it off, you have to remove it with a wet towel or you will have to stand in the shower for a while; making sure there are no bits still attached to the skin-believe me I've been there.
Now for the part you want to hear ... When you run your hands over you face, it feel SO SMOOTH! It removes the dead layer of your skin, as well as getting into the pours and cleaning them out. If you have any spots, they disappear within a few days, honestly it really works, I had a beast on the side of my neck, and it went away within 3 days. But the result after I'd just taken the mask off, the spot had become less swollen, and the redness was nearly gone.
I've been using this mask for quite some time, and it never let's me down! 

THE PRICE: 

Now for the price reveal, before I state how much this is, you have to remember, if you suffer with severe acne you've probably spent hundreds of pounds to improve the skin. This products comes to a grand total of, £25. Which isn't too bad, it lasts nearly a year, controls acne, doesn't irritate the skin, and generally works.
Like I've mentioned in other blog posts, I'm not here to say if this is too much, or too cheap; whatever you feel that'll work for your skin, you can spend as much or as little as you want. This is just my personal opinion, and in my opinion it's worth the money, it's worked for me, and my partner; who does suffer with exceedingly painful acne.  

If you are curious to purchase this product, I'll leave a link below for you! 

That is it for today's blog post, if you have any recommendation then please do let me know.
I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x

YSL ALL HOURS FOUNDATION REVIEW

YSL ALL HOURS FOUNDATION

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).


Good morning Little Ones! Here is another product review, I've already filmed a video on this product, if you want to watch that as well, then click here! If you don't fancy that, then you might as well stay here. I've received a tone of requests to write a review on this baby, so that's what I'm doing. Sit back, relax and get on to reading!






THE PACKAGING:

YSL nail it again ... This will always be mentioned, as I've still yet to come across something that doesn't appear marvellous. Why not start with the uni-carton? Iconic golden goddess, how can you not resist? It simmers, and almost gravitates you to hold the product ... I'm a packaging addict so this is a problem to me; anyone else feel the same?
Now onto the foundation packaging! This foundation is coated in an eloquent matte glass bottle, something I've never seen from YSL before, they usually come packaged in a shiny glass component, but that;s something I love about this brand; they always switch it up and keep you on your toes. On the other hand, they've kept it simple, adding the harsh noir line makes it the centre point; and it's smart that they've integrated the line and placed the name of the foundation; this clearly differentiates each foundation that YSL produce. 
In relation to the cap, I wish it was metal, instead it's plastic ... It doesn't match the matte glass, it's almost out of place. They've created such an opulent component, and finished it with a plastic lid; it doesn't ruin it completely; but they could've kept the metal lid aspect. But if that's the only flaw I can find; it's not the end of the world.

THE PRODUCT: 

Firstly, my shade is BR10, COOL PORCELAIN, this is the lightest shade they offer ... Yes I know I'm rather pale, (not a shock). With me, finding a shade that actually matches my skin is a nightmare! But this YSL All Hours Foundation is PERFECT! The match is incredible, this foundation does oxidise so be careful and make sure you get colour-matched. 
When you initially pump this foundation to the back of your hand, it pours out like liquid velvet ... Sounds odd, but if you purchase this product, you'll know exactly what I mean. The formula isn't so watery that it runs down your hand, but it's not so thick that it feels uncomfortable, it's literally the perfect consistency. Thus, when applying it blends out like a dream, I had no issue covering my entire face, and if I needed to layer, it wouldn't cake up or go patchy. 
Something that I should mention is that this is a matte finish, so it's not meant for dry skin, but seeing that I'd fallen in love at the counter, I purchased a hydrating primer which coincided with this foundation. I have very dry skin, to the point where it flakes, (beautiful right?), without this primer, this foundation does settle into my dry patches and enhances them ... Not the best look, BUT if I use the primer I don't have this issue. 
In relation to longevity, it lasts up to 9 hours, this is without me powdering! But if I was to add powder throughout the day, I could say that this would last 12 hours; it won't be the most flawless foundation day ever, but it's still on the skin. 
On the other hand, something else that I should mention, is that this product doesn't have a scent, which I love! Additionally, it doesn't make me break out, or irritate my skin ... I would know as I suffer with eczema. All in all, this foundation is wonderful, the finish is stunning and it lasts such a long time. Remember if you do suffer with dry skin, just remember to exfoliate and moisturise your face to the max! It does work, but you have to go the extra mile; it's worth it I promise! 

THE PRICE: 

When I purchased this bad boy, I was lucky enough to have 20% off the original price, as my local John Lewis was conducting a sale! But normally this would cost, £33.50, which is a pricey foundation, it's the most expensive one I own to date. But who am I to say something is too expensive? Would I repurchase this product at the full price? Yes I would, because it works for me, and it's worth my money, if you feel different to that, then that's your opinion. 
The features of this foundation make it worth the high price point, the formula is extremely long wearing, the finish is beautiful, and it even works with my exceedingly dry skin! 

If you are curious to purchase this product, I'll leave a link below for you! 


That is it for today's blog post, if you want me to review the primer that goes perfectly with this foundation then I will post that for tomorrows blog post! If not then please do tell me what you want to read next! I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x

Product review-OGX Shampoo and conditioner

OGX thick&full biotin&collagen shampoo and conditioner  

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by OGX, I discovered them a few months back when I was in boots, they had a new range of shampoo and conditioner ... And just like everything else in Boots, I had to buy it. I just fell it love with it, and so did my boyfriend Christoper.

Good evening Little ones! It's lovely to get to see you all again, how have you been? I know it's only been a day, but a lot can change and happen within 24 hours. I'm currently at home with my family, laying in bed as I'm absolutely freezing; also waiting for my other half to come over and snuggle me. Any how, if you are on the hunt for new hair care products, or just enjoy reviews in general; then you will love this :) 


If you want to read another review, click here!




PACKAGING:

Astronomically stunning. The colour is mixed between a royal blue and purple, it's so unique; but that's what's so striking about it. It also makes me feel extremely luxurious, which is heightened with the melted gold crown, and curly font. In regards to the typography, it's: bold, iridescent and damn right sexy! It interlinks with the lid, and you guys already know how I feel about that ... I absolutely love it; it really does show that the company cares about how their products are represented. On the other hand, the shape of the bottle is something that I have never seen before, other bottles are much thinner, or taller; this is short and plump ... Which I actually like, simply because it's easier to hold, and believe it or not, it actually holds more product in there. For example average shampoo and conditioner bottle holds 300ml, whereas OGX holds 385ml. Which is perfect, because you get more product for your money. If I had to really critique this, I would have to say that there is too much writing, they should add an illustration in the centre and have the main words as the focus point. But that being said, OGX's signature look is just the writing, which as mentioned previously looks beautiful in contrast to the plain background.

THE PRODUCT:

Fundamentally, in regards to the shampoo the consistency is BEAUTIFUL. It feels like velvet in your hair, so rich and creamy, and lava's so well when you add water. It really feels like it's taking away all the dirt and grease; and replacing it with a a clean, sweet smelling hair. In regards to the smell it's ever so sweet yet daring; it reminds me of Dove body cream, it's so luxurious yet questionably seductive, simply because there's a slight hint of musk. On the other hand, the conditioner has the same effect, but the consistency is different, evidently because instead of cleaning the hair, it nourishes it. It's so thick, which I adore because you know it's going to make your hair look amazing afterwards. I prefer thicker conditioners to watery one, as I find that the finer based ones don't do a good job, they just make your hair greasy; whereas this one actually looks after you hair. It glides in so effortlessly, and takes seconds to wash out. Again which I love! Who wants to stand in a shower for ages trying to get the remainders of conditioner out? Not me! I don't have time for that! 
When you come out of the shower, and  your hair is towel dry, I kid you not you can brush your hair ... Like brush your hair and not pull half of it out because it's wet. And when it's dry it looks even better! The volume is fantastic! Because I have such thick hair it's hard to find something that adds volume to it! This baby does it perfectly. I love this product, it's one of my favourites :).

THE PRICE:

Let's just get into it! £6.99 for each, yes that would mean you would be spending £13.98 on shampoo and conditioner. but let's face it, most higher end shampoo and conditioner is the same price and even higher! I really take a lot of care into my hair; I would rather spend more on my hair KNOWING that it was getting looked after. I know that's just my opinion, and some will and won't agree with me; but it's how I feel. You can buy these from anywhere, but I would say Boots as they always have offers on them. For example RIGHT NOW! They retail for £4.66 instead of £6.99, so if you find the first price too much then I would say go and buy them right now, go on Little ones, treat yourself :). 
If you are interested in these products have a little look at the link below:

This is now the end of the blog post, sorry Litte ones, but you will see me tomorrow with a vegan recipe! I haven't done one of those for a while. I will then be doing a day in the life of Amy soon, that's only if you are interested :).
I hope you all have a good night sleep! I love you all so very much, sweet dreams! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Fitbit Alta Review 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Fitbit, I received this watch from my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. I'd been wanting that watch for so long and he went and bought it for me. I have always been into my fitness, so this was perfect for me.

Hello! I'm ever so sorry that this has taken a few days to post, I have been undergoing serious issues, of which I can't disclose just yet; but when I can I will write about it :).
Anyhow, how have you all been? What did you do yesterday and what are you planning on doing today? Let's cut to the chase! If you are a perfume addict then you will love this blog post! Have a little read and relax :).  


If you want to read another review, click here!






PRESENTATION:

Fundamentally, when you receive this tiny trinket it's surrounded by a modern box, it shines beautifully since it's turquoise and also interlinks with their brand. It signifies positivity and you get that when you eventually open the box and reveal the Fitbit. In regards to the actual Fitbit it's stunning, the glossy black glass is extremely professional, you can walk around the streets feeling fantastic. As well as this, the pink leather strap (real leather) adds an opulent and comfortable feeling. I say comfortable because it fits perfectly, doesn't feel cold when you put it on (metal feels cold), and it bends perfectly; it's not stiff. In addition to this, the pink reminds me of my Nan, which is also why I went for this colour; she would have really liked this, baby pink was her favourite colour. When I wear it I feel like a part of her is still with me.
In contrast to this, when you turn the Fitbit around, you can see metal dots, which interconnect with the holes provided, these are in regards to the various sizes; the one I have is small; and it fits me perfectly! I've always had trouble with watches fit me, they never make them my size; Fitbit is the first brand that actually advocates for my size of wrist. I put mine on the last setting and it doesn't move around; unlike other watches I've tried, it trails down my arm; but not this one. All in all, I think this fitness watch is elegant, easy to wear and really fashionable. 

THE PRODUCT:

Profoundly, the amount of things this product does is fantastic. Just to give you a brief idea of what this little baby can do, it counts your steps, tells you how many calories you have burnt, motivates you to go further. For example, if you have been stable for too long it tells you to, "let's walk together"; the various amount of messages that pops up on the screen is so personal; it makes you feel like you have a personal friend their motivating you. In addition to this, it evidently tells you the time, you move your wrist towards your face and the time automatically appears. Because the text it white and the background is black it makes it easy to read and understand. In regards to the battery, it lasts 2 weeks, this is fantastic and when you do charge it, it only takes 1 hour to charge, and that's it for two weeks. It's constantly on, even at night ... If you want it to you can wear it while your sleep and it actually monitors if you are getting enough sleep or not. On the other hand, there is another part of this product, and that would be the app that you would download on your phone or tablet. If you download it you can register your sleep, how many steps you should do in the week, you could even start a diet or weight plan. If you need to loose weight for yourself or for health conditions then buy one of these and set your goal higher and higher. It gives you motivation to do well and keeps you going. in contrast to this, there are various colours that this comes in, you can buy the bands separatley, but they are additional costs on top of this product. But this means you can make it as versatile as possible. When you do buy the Fitbit it does come with a wrist band; so don't worry about not getting one, it's included in the price.

THE PRICE:

Depending on what Fitbit you want it varies in price, there are cheaper ones than the one I'm talking about. The FitBit Alta retails for £99.99. Which I think is a great value for money, some watches now adays are the same price, if not more expensive; and that just tells you the time. Whereas the Fitbit Alta, tells you the time, counts your calories and steps, how long you have been walking for etc. It's not just a simple watch, it does so much for you; and for the price of £99.99 it's worth it in my opinion.
I would say if you are a fitness freak, or need to improve your physical lifestyle, then get one of these! It will help you, plus it's your own little motivator. I was wanting one of these for ages, and my boyfriend brought me one for our year anniversary; I love him so much and I was so thankful. 
If you are interested in buying this product check out the website down below, they have so many models :)

Product review-Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss Orange Women Eau De Parfum 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Hugo Boss, I found this perfume and fell in love with it, I'm planning on purchasing another bottle, simply because it brings back lovely memories when I use it.

PACKAGING:

Undoubtedly enchanting. The enriching peach crystal bottle is breathtaking, it reminds me of a bundle of peaches laying before my eyes, in a perfume formation. The bulbs arising makes it plump and brings it all to life; especially when the lighting catches it ever so slightly. When I hold this within my grip I feel expensive and important. It's ever so delicate, but completely beautiful. I adore the rose gold cap placed at the top of the perfume; it's a crown on importance, and in my opinion this one has indeed won the prize. Consistency is the correct word. Everything corresponds to one another, for example, the fruity exterior, golden crown, and shiny execution. All tied in together with the classical Hugo Boss logo on the side. Matt black, it stands out from the crowd, high and mighty. If I were Hugo Boss I'd be doing the same; this is a beautiful looking product, they should be proud to of created this masterpiece. In regards to the blanket that protects this beauty, it matches the perfume to a T. The rose pink cardboard, with the shiny golden font screams opulence. And is repeated when you hold this perfume with your bare hands.

THE PRODUCT:

Just like the packaging ... Flawless. As soon as you spray this onto the skin, the scent of a musky rose comes in to play, as well as a sweet and daring flavour. It smells expensive, and represents a massive sex appeal. When I put this on in the morning, it reminds me of my boyfriend Chris kissing me and looking into my eyes. This is what I always wore when we first met, and I still wear to this day.
This perfume lasts such a long time, because it's the Eau De Parfum version it's so much stronger in comparison to the Eau De Toilette. Meaning that the staying power is intense; a little goes a long way ... And I mean that. Two or three sprays will set you for an 8 hour day on the go. 
On the other hand, I feel that this is such a natural scent you can wear it for any occasion, especially dates, simply because it's not overpowering, and it won't make the other person feel sick.
I wish that you could smell this currently, it's purely amazing! Although you can always head into your local Boots or John Lewis; they constantly have this on display for you to have a good spray.

THE PRICE:

This perfume retails for £47.00. This may sound a lot for perfume, but not for me. In my opinion this was completly worth the money. I purchased this bottle in September last year ... It's lasted me an entire year, and I still have more in the bottle. Previously, I bought the Eau De Toilette, and it only lasted me 5 months, it was the same 50ml, but I had to spray more because it didn't last as long, plus that one alone retailed for £43.00, only making it £4 cheaper! Plus I had to buy a second version because they didn't have the stronger one in stock. 
In my opinion, if you like the smell of it, go ahead and treat yourself, it's stunning and it makes you feel confident. 

This is the end of my blog post, thank you so much for reading this, I'm very sorry that this took so long to post, as mentioned previously so much has been going on that I can't currently disclose on here. But hopefully I will be able to write about that in a separate blog post :).
I love you all so very much! I can't wait to see you tomorrow! I'm letting you guys decide what I post :).
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Product Review-Lee Stafford hair care

Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Coconut Spritz 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Lee Stafford, I came across their products a few years ago when I started dying my hair. When I saw that they came out with a new range, I went into my pocket and bought the range. I've fallen in love with it and decided to review it.

Good Afternoon! I am ever so sorry that this has taken a VERY long time to post, around a week or so now! I had been back from France not even a day and I was seriously ill. I'm still in the recovery process; but I'm now able to obtain the strength to write! If you want to know what I was suffering with please let me know and I will give you an insight on that in more detail :). Any how, how have you guys been? Summer been good? :).
As you may know I LOVE reviewing great products! And I have been dying to review this hair product for a matter of days now! But here it is! If you want to know detailed information about this product and if it's for you, then have a little read down below :).

MY HAIR TYPE:

Profoundly, my hair type is smack bang in the middle! Not too thick, not too thin, but this really does depend. For example, if I was to cut my hair really short my hair would be immensely thick, but my hair being rather long it thins out ever so slightly; which I love, especially in the summer as my hair doesn't drown me too much. On the other hand, my hair is quite dry on some days, and with the British Summer being intense it's done some damage to my hair; and traveling to France didn't help either. In terms of my hair appearing greasy it's pretty much non-existent, this week was the test as I wasn't well enough to wash my hair ... I went 5 or more days without washing it, and it still appeared dry, my mum said, "have you just washed your hair, it looks clean?". I was utterly shocked and honored in a strange way, that I could not wash my hair and it still looks good :'). 

PACKAGING:

Stunning! The champagne rose gold bottle is enchanting, it appears refreshing and reminds me of an innocent rose. When you look at the fine details, the name 'Lee Stafford' and the dog logo was rose gold; this interlinked with the pink bottle and showed me that Lee Stafford cares about what his packing looks like, he wants it to be consistent. In a consumers perspective it gives me a good first impression, if something looks good I have the expectation that the product inside is going to be just as good; which in this case was a massive YES!
On the other hand, I love that the bold text is in the significant hot pink colour; this is what Lee Stafford always uses on his other hair products. This is the only time that Lee Stafford has updated his packing, and that was for the CoCo LoCo edition, in my opinion I really like the change, I feel like he should do this for new ranges. For example, if he bought out a new range for just thick hair, he should have a separate colour for that, it easier to catagorise, especially if he did it for all hair types.

THE PRODUCT:

In regards to this product, it's fantastic and let me tell you why. Like some spray in hair conditioners they weigh your hair down, and make it appear greasy. Whereas this one is light, and no matter how much you spray on there it doesn't look greasy. It also smells extremely refreshing, it feels like I'm smelling a real coconut. I hate it when I buy a hair product and it smells fake, or the scent is too overpowering; whereas the CoCo LoCo has a slight smell of real coconut, which is nice when you are spraying it on your hair, simply because it's not intense.
On the other hand, after you have applied this to the hair and brushed it in, it leaves your hair silky smooth and reduces the chance of getting split ends. This is because pure coconut oils have been placed in this bottle, not only is it natural but it gives the best results. It also strengthens your hair, I have noticed this over the past month using this product. 

THE PRICE:

Fundamentally, this hair product retails for £5.99! This is fantastic! I was utterly shocked, simply because I've never seen anything so low priced in the Lee Stafford collection. And after seeing the results this gave me I stocked up on another one of these and gave it to my boyfriend ... He's obsessed with it! He loves the smell, as well as his hair being damage free. For £5.99 you get 150ml, I have been using mine for a month, and I apply it to my hair at least 4 times a week! And I haven't even gone through half the bottle yet; completely worth the money in my opinion!

Good afternoon Little ones! What have you been doing today? I've been helping my boyfriend pack for France, as well as saying goodbye to my family. It's been a long but exciting day for me, I go abroad for the first time in my life tomorrow! And yes, of course I will be taking you along with me! I can't leave you lot out!
Any how, I have a review for you today! I went to get my hair cut (she cut WAY TOO much off), but while I was in there I brought a new hair brush, my hair is so thick my elite tangle teezer wasn't doing the job. If you want to know more about this particular product have a little read down below, hope you enjoy :).

PACKAGING: 

Professional and beautiful. This compact hairbrush reminds me of delightful berries, bursting with optimism and elegance. When I saw this brush I was taken back by the beauty and colour, it's absolutely breathtaking; it makes me feel content; simply because I own something so vibrant; it will light up the entire room. Just like other Tangle Teezer products, this thick&curly brush ticks all the boxes in their criteria; colour being one of them, unique bristle and shape of the brush. For example, when I look at this brush, without even taking a glance at the brand I know that it's from Tangle Teezer, they are the only brand that produces hair brushes in this fashion. In regards to the shape of the brush, it makes it easy to hold and brush your hair; especially when you have really thick hair like me! I can't tell you how many times I would drop my hair brush due to my hair being too thick with the elite version. The thick&curly edition have thicker rods in the brush, as well as having more of them all together. This is because people with thicker hair need something stronger, than just the average Joe. 

THE PRODUCT:

Fantastic! I have no faults with this product at all! I have brought 3 Tangle Teezers and all have worked perfectly fine, apart from the fact that the Elite would fall out of my hands; due to my hair being so thick. Tangle Teezer products have always met my needs and expectations. They look fantastic, they are always so innovative, they follow their own rules and don't copy any other company in the market. In addition to this, I find that these products are very long lasting! For example, I've had 3 within 2-3 years; but that's not because they weren't working, it was because I wanted to buy their new range of colours and patterns. On the other hand, this is the ONLY hair brush that I have used, and it's not damaged, pulled or hurt my head when using it. You know those days where you get knots from hell? This demolishes them within seconds, and does not hurt! And believe me, I hate it when I have to spend hours on my hair, and most of that was down to a crappy hair brush. In terms of washing this brush, you can simply take a baby-wipe and clean the edges, as well as this, taking hair out of this sucker is easy as pie! It comes away with one pull, don't believe me? Try it and you will be amazed! 

PRICE:

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, this product retails for £10.60. Some people may think that this is "too expensive", but how much do you normally spend on a hair brush? £3-4? But how long does that last you? And how much is that actually benefiting your hair? If you keep repurchasing cheap hairbrushes, which aren't doing you any good, you are actually spending more money for a product that isn't worth it. Whereas if you pay for this brush then and there, it will last you AT LEAST one year, at most 3 YEARS! 3 years for one brush, that's amazing don't you think? Within that time frame you will probably buy at least 10 cheap brushes, which end up not being so cheap as you keep buying into them. 
Overall, this is a product worth buying, it's high quality, lasts a long time, and it comes in such a beautiful berry colour.

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by this company, I treated myself to this candle on a whim and loved it.

Have you seen my giveaway? If not click here! 

Hello again everyone! What have you been up to since we last spoke? I took a break, which entailed watching YouTube videos and taking to Anne (Boyfriends Mother). I then thought that I would write a review on this candle; I have had this for a while and I thought that it was about time I wrote about it :).

If you want to know full details about this product and my thoughts and feeling have a read down below and enjoy :).

PRESENTATION:

Fundamentally, I think that the packaging is just right, it's not over the top, but it's not too simplistic. The baby blue adds a hint of innocence and a breath of fresh air, it interlinks with the scent rather well; which I love because I adore companies that link the product packaging with the actual product. It gives me the impression that they are a well thought out company, as well as caring about what their consumers might think; having thought out and solved the tiny problems that people with OCD would pick up on is fantastic. On the other hand,  I love that the wax is a clean white, in some candles they use cream wax; if they done that in this case it would appear dirty, and wouldn't advocate to the sea salt scent. It makes it look more professional and worth the money I spent on it. From a customers point of view that enjoys candles, I love that the glass container is massive! It's contains so much product it's fantastic, it means that you've spent your money on a product that will go the extra mile. I also like the fact that it's glass, it adds a sense of opulence and class; which I love, I can look at that candle and think that it's not tacky. For example, you look at some candles and it ruins the atmosphere around it as it adds a cheap element. I also like that they have placed the two wicks in the center of the candle, as well as it being exactly parallel! This screams perfection, and shows that the company really do care about how their candle is presented in every way shape and form. 

THE PRODUCT:

Profoundly, this is an Ozonic Accord Sea Salt and Cucumber scented candle, it's extremely refreshing and breathtaking. It smells like you are walking on the beach, with the scent of sea salt surrounding the atmosphere. In regards to burning time, it will last up to 50 hours! This is an immense amount of time! I have had his candle for 6 months, and I have lit it at least once a week 2 hours each time; and it looks like I've hardly touched it! I would say that it would go above the 50 hour mark easily, which makes it a great value for money, not like it's overly expensive anyway. On the other hand, because this is a two wick candle it burns all the wax around the edge, as well as the center; which means that when it goes down it won't leave wax on the edge. I hate it when candles do this, but that won't happen with this one. In addition to this, the two wick element means that more of the sea salt scent will be defused as there is more fire to encourage the smell. 

PRICE:

In regards to price this candle retails for £12.00, but they have a sale on right now! Currently this candle sits at £6.99! This is an amazing price! They have had this deal on for 3 months now, and I have no idea how long it will last! But what I do know is that it's completely worth the money; at both prices! You get 415 grams of product! That will last you months! Maybe even a year, depending on how long you burn you burn your candle. Within that time frame you will probably purchase a multitude of candles, which are so much cheaper, but don't last very long. If anything you will probably spend more money on cheaper candles than this one right here! This candle is sold exclusively at Clintons, this is the only place I have seen them!
