The Healing Oil Treatment I was less excited to receive but that was purely because I didn't actually know what oils do. This treatment claims to add intense nourishment for frizz-free hair, leave hair manageable and shiny, natural UV protection and reduce drying time by 40-50%. Now thats a lot of claims to live up to, I certainly agree with the first three claims as my hair was beautiful soft after using this (on both dry hair and damp hair), this just left my hair so much nicer than before. I'm definitely a huge fan of this. However I didn't really notice a difference in drying time but this may be just me as I don't regularly dry my hair with a hairdryer so I couldn't really comment on that claim!

Overall these two hair products are really lovely and make such a big difference to my hair, my only negative with this brand is the price, with those prices its not something I would be able to buy on a regular basis and so instead it would be something I would put on Christmas and birthday lists. Its something I definitely enjoy using and I think my hair looks so much better with so I would definitely try and get hold of this again and definitely recommend it!

So I posted about these in a haul around two weeks ago and I have been using these Elf cream eyeshadows none stop ever since! I chose the colours Dawn and Pewter and in my opinion they are just the most beautiful shades.

The product comes in little glass pots which I loved and I just think they look really expensive which for £3.75 isn't bad! Firstly Pewter is a really nice silver shade and this is probably my most favourite out of the two. The consistency of this colour is very smooth and it blends really easily; I mostly use it as a base and it definitely helps prolong my eye makeup. If you have very oily eyelids like me you may also want to use an eyelid primer which is what I do if I need it to last all day. Pewter is also a perfect base colour for a smoky eye!!

On the other hand the Dawn colour I'm still not really sure about, the colour is a lovely neutral beige bronze colour, almost like a paler version of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo 'On and on Bronze', however its a bit more glittery than the Pewter one and definitely takes longer to blend. The consistency is also less smooth and doesn't really provide as nice a base as the Pewter one. I also got minimal creasing which is a win for me, those with normal eyelids probably wouldn't get any creasing! I'm not quite sure if the consistencies are meant to be different because as I mentioned in the haul, the size of the pots of different. Pewter contains 10g of product whereas Dawn only contains 4.7g of product and comes with a crappy brush, so I really hope they aren't changing all the other colours as well because I really like Pewter! 

Overall I would definitely repurchase, however I think you have to be willing to experiment with the colour because I think some are definitely better than others. I probably still prefer Maybelline's Colour Tattoo over these Elf Cream Eyeshadows as they last longer but the Colour Tattoo colour range is pretty pants to be honest so if you want a wider range of colours then definitely go for the Elf Cream Eyeshadow!

shirt - H&M, shorts - New Look, boots - Topshop

So the weathers been pretty nice over the past week, warm enough to wear shorts but not so warm that you sit there sweating away! This shirt is fast becoming one of my favourite items, it just seems to go with anything. I haven't worn my chelsea boots for ages and had almost forgotten that I had them; I think I stopped wearing them briefly because they were uncomfortable, but they are actually really comfortable! I really should start wearing them more.

So I was recently contacted by a new shopping website called Mallzee.com who are launching later this year. I was so excited to receive an e-mail about it because not only do I not receive e-mails about my blog very often, it always excites me when I get an e-mail about something that I am genuinely interested in and couldn't wait to share it with you! 

Everyone loves going shopping with their friends, right? Talking about the latest bag you've just seen, finding that perfect dress for a party... well, basically Mallzee.com is an all new online social shopping experience that allows you to create your own shopping page (a Mallzee!) and then customise it by picking out your favourite brands! Mallzee.com will then find products that they think will suit your style and display them in your 'Mallzee'. You can then invite your friends via Facebook to visit your 'Mallzee' and discuss favourite items before purchasing them with a discount (that means you get your favourite brands cheaper!!). And finally one of the best features is that when you invite your friends to visit you can earn money if one of them (or anyone else..) decides to buy something through your 'Mallzee' (you get paid when your friends shop!!)!

Some of the brands that are currently signed up include... Urban Outfitters, New Look, Feel Unique, St Tropez, Office, Miss Selfridge and many more! And what's more if you register now you could receive an exclusive pre-launch invite and be the first to use Mallzee.com when it is launched later this year.

Now I thought this was an amazing opportunity and thought that you would like to hear about it, I have already signed up and I really think you guys should too :)

*Disclaimer: Although I was contacted by Mallzee, I am NOT being paid to write this blog post. I simply thought it was a great idea and wanted to share it all with you guys*

Now I had almost forgotten about this nail polish when I pulled it out of my collection the other day. I had completely forgotten what a lovely dark red it was. I always find Topshop nail polishes very hit and miss, on the one hand I adore the colours and especially the range of colours; I think its great that a high street nail polish does such a vast amount of nice colours. However I do think the formulations vary from colour to colour. Along with this colour I have a few other Topshop nail polishes, my most favourite is Utilitarian which has a lovely formula and doesn't chip for ages, whereas this colour seems to chip almost the next day which is such a shame!

Anyway a lovely colour and worth a try as it may be different for you!
