Hair Care Favourites

Happy Sunday Y'all!

How was your weekend? My weekend was very random but good! On Friday, a couple of the girls decided to stay in with a Chinese which resulted in us going out at the last minute! Nothing like a large glass of vino putting you in the mood for a wee dance - I love random nights like that : )

My besto and I... : )

We clearly all hate a white dress ; )

I mentioned in maybe two blogs posts ago that this is the year I really take the time to get into my blogging as I absolutely love it! I love having a wee nosey at other peoples blogs too. So today I am gonna talk about my hurrr. A girl isn't complete for a night out with some polished/not so polished aka mega back-combed (big hair don't care!) hair! I have some go-to products that I use in my daily routine and on nights out.

Noomero uno has to be Lee Stafford's Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist. This stuff is honestly the bomb.com! I have been using this product since I was about 14/15. The product has green tea in it (green tea is an antioxidant) which helps protect the hair from environmental and heat damage, reducing free radical formation caused by UV and heat styling. It also smells absolutely devine! 

I use this product whenever I straighten my hair (obvz) by spritzing once or twice onto my brush, running the brush through my hair before I go through each section with my GHD's. This results in my hair being protected from the issues mentioned above and leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth. 


The next product that has stolen my heart is the CHI (Cationic Hydration Interlink) Silk Infusion. This product is honestly worth its weight in. CHI Silk Infusion is an alcohol free (and wont leave any build-up in the hair) treatment which reconstructs and protects all hair types. It helps shield the hair from environmental damage and interlocks moisture and strength into the inner structure of the hair to improve manageability and shine whilst positively charged silk molecules restores resilience in the hair. 

I use this product when I have just washed my hair. I apply it to my damp hair and work it through from the ends up to about the bottom of my ear. I rarely dry my hair using a hair dryer. I towel dry my hair and sleep with it damp. I find that by towel drying my hair and leaving it to dry naturally it keeps my hair from drying out. I also use this product on dry hair after I have just straightened it as it promotes softness, shine and smoothness. 


Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave in Conditioner has been a favourite of mine ever since I was in School. The product is enriched with jojoba seed oil (this s**t smells amazing) which strengthens and protects the hair weakened by everyday life. It also acts as a great detangler. 

I spray this product through towel dried hair then again I just go to bed with my hair wet (I tend to only wash my hair at night).


And finally, my most favouritest loveliest hairspray in the whole entire wold! This can is like my best pal. VO5 Ulitimate Hold Weather Resistant Hair Spray is honestly a life saver! It has 5 vital benefits which are as follows:

*All day hold that brushes out easily, leaving hair soft to touch (who likes crispy hair anyways!)*
*Weather protection provides a shield against humidity for 24 hours, preventing frizz*
*Ultra-fine fat-drying spray, with no sticky residue*
*Healthy shine*
*UV filter to help protect against environmental damage*

I use this hairspray whenever I am doing a style that I need to keep in place. I usually opt for a beehive and this hairspray does the job perfectly! I also use this product to keep my side fringe (which has grown out and looks a bit mental now) to keep in place as it tends to split down the middle as I have weird "cow's licks" all over my head!


There you have it, my cheeky wee hair faves! Let me know if you use any of these products and love them as much as I do, or if you are thinking about purchasing the products mentioned or even just your own personal hair faves. I love talking to you guys and sharing little tips and advice!

xoxo

 *** Please note, I have very thick hair and this is my own personal hair care routine. I find that this is the routine that works best for me and may not work best for other people. You have to use products suited to your hair type. I can use all of these products together as my hair doesn't get greasy very easily : ) ***

Happy New Year Beauties!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve!

I am a terrible, terrible person, yes I know. I have neglected my poor wee blog since October! Shame on me! But I am back!

One of my resolutions is to devote more time to my blog, which I’m going to try really hard to do in 2014! I pinched this snazzy little NYE resolutions list from the beautiful Lauren Conrad’s blog….
A bad habit I’m going to break:
Worrying, I worry far too much! I’m aiming to take a leaf out of Zoella’s book and say yes to everything this year. In the past I’ve sometimes pulled out of going to parties etc because worrying has gotten the best of me, but not anymore!
A destination I’d like to visit:
The Fairy Pools of Skye…<3
I’m going to work harder at:
Running and getting toned!
A project I’d like to finish:
This isn’t really a project, but I want to save for a mortgage this year! I’ve already worked out a little savings plan that I am definitely going to stick too!

A class I’d like to take:
Make Up Artistry :)

I’d like to spend more time doing:
Everything and anything! Like I said before, if anyone asks me to do something (exercising with them, going out, going to a concert, hill walking yada yada) I have to say yes! And I will constantly remind myself of this resolution until it sinks in! I need to live in the moment and not worry about the future; life is short so I want to make the most of it so I can look back with no regrets.

A food I want to eat more of:
I’m a good eater already, I eat loads of everything, which is the problem. I would like to eat LESS of takeaways! I loooove Indian food, so I think it may be quite hard to limit my intake, but I’m definitely going to try to cut down on McDonalds and other types of fast foods.

I want to wear more:
Smiles….cute eh?

Feel free to nab this resolutions list, I think it’s a fab idea! Let me know if you guys have similar resolutions to me or completely different!
 
xoxo


Ps. Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures :( Will upload some NYE shots as soon as I can!

Autumn Wish List

Afternoon Love Bugs!

So I’ve noticed a couple of bloggers do wish lists so I thought it would be a fun idea for a post! Below is a list of lots of different things I would like to purchase on payday including makeup, clothes, candles and more!

#1 – Chanel’s Autumn Collection
I want every single thing in Chanel’s Autumn collection! The colours are absolutely beautiful! The only thing I am not 100% sure on is the blush…it’s a bit too reddish for me. I usually wear more pastel colours on my cheeks, but would love to give it a try!

#2 – Boots
 
 Oh my goodness! These little booties from New Look are the cutest boots I’ve ever seen! I must have them! I need a new pair of boots as my uggs are a bit too cozy for this time of year. I prefer to wear my uggs more in the winter.
 
#3 – Marshmallow Fireside by Bath & Body Works

Absolutely adore this scent. I got it last year and used it pretty quickly because I was burning it non-stop! As I don’t live in America, hopefully I’ll be able to purchase this candle of either eBay or thebathandbodyshop.com.

#4 – MAC’s lightful cleanser

This product looks and sounds amazing! Will take a break from my usual Clinique skin care regime just to try this product out!

What’s your wish list dolls? Let me know in the comments below : )

The Autumn Tag


Tag creator - www.makeup-pixi3.com
 
I spotted this tag on www.makeup-pixi3.com and thought it was an excellent idea for a post! I am going to tag some fellow bloggers at the end of this post but feel free to do the tag!
 
1.    Favourite thing about autumn?
Oh that’s hard! I don’t think I only have one main favourite to be honest. I love everything about autumn. The colours (leaves, fashion), smells (burning leaves), tastes (pumpkin spiced lattes)…everything!!
 
2.    Favourite drink?
It has to be either the pumpkin spiced lattes that Starbucks do at this time of year or Nescafe’s instant gingerbread latte! Wouldn’t say no to a hot chocolate though ;)
 
3.    Favourite scent/candle?
Well I’ve already mentioned that I love the smell of burning leaves. So candle wise, I love Yankee candle ‘blissful autumn’ and ‘fireside treats’.
 
4.    Best lipstick?
I usually stick to the same colours all year round which is bad! So I am gonna try hard to work a dark lip this fall/winter. I particularly like the vampy look.
 
5.    Go to moisturiser?
Definitely Clinique’s dramatically different moisture lotion for combination/oily skin J
 
6.    Go to colours for the eyes?
I always tend to do a smokey eye, usually like to use brighter colours in the spring/summertime but I love a dark smokey eye for the fall.
 
7.    Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?
I love to listen to Paramore and Florence & the Machine at this time of year. I think Hayley’s and Florence’s voice are really suited to the colder months if that makes sense!
 
8.    Favourite outfit to wear?
Layers! Lots and lots of layers!! Boots/uggs, leg warmers, tights, shorts, vest, long cardigan and a scarf!
 
9.    Autumn treat?
Lots and lots of cuddles to keep warm!
 
10. Favourite place to be?
Definitely at home, with candles lit, watching a film, drinking hot chocolate whilst cuddling into my boyfriend and kitten.
 
Hope you have enjoyed reading my answers! 
The people I have tagged are as follows:
 


 
PS. Apologies if you have already done this tag!

The Liebster Award...

 
Rachel from http://missrachelreidy.blogspot.co.uk/ has nominated LAX for the Liebster Award. The Liebster Award is a great way for bloggers starting out to get to know each other a bit better which made me want to participate. Thanks so much Rachel for nominating me!
So the aim of the game is to answer 6 questions that have been chosen for you by the blogger who nominated you, then to think up 6 new questions to ask up to 10 bloggers that you follow with 200 members or less.
 My 6 questions are:
1)     If you could go back to any era in time, which would you visit?
The 1920’s. I recently saw The Great Gatsby and fell in love with the time. The fashion, architecture, music and attitudes are what simply draw me to the era. Another thing that I love about this decade were the attitudes of men. They were still gentlemen and that’s to find a gentleman these days is a rare thing!
2)     Can money buy happiness?
Not.At.All. I am one of the happiest people in the world, but that is due to the people I surround myself with. End of.
3)     Favourite place you've visited
Inverness with Guy, it was a truly wonderful trip and I enjoyed every minute.
4)     One word to describe you
