The best shampoo and conditioner.



Hey guys so I decided to write a quick review on my favorite shampoo and conditioner from Cien at Lidl. Now these are not the fanciest products in the world but they are amazing. Lets start with the shampoo. The shampoo claims to nourish and protect colored and damaged hair. It also claims to enhance the color of your hair without weighing it down. Completely true. This shampoo makes my hair so clean and shiny without horrible product build up. It leaves it feeling light and bouncy as though I had just been to the hairdressers. Always a winner in my book. Its also cheap as chips retailing at about €1 something? Maybe less. For that price you get an amazing 300ml of product which lasts a very long time I must say. It also leaves your hair smelling slightly fruity.

The conditioner basically does the same as the shampoo but it really makes your hair super soft and shiny. I find this conditioner very nourishing on my hair but it doesn't take forever to wash out like some other conditioners. I also find that when I use these together it takes much less time to dry my hair afterwards. Brilliant as I have very thick, long hair. The conditioner is also the same price and the same amount of product. I really have nothing bad to say about these products. They have ones for specific types of hair such as damaged, normal, oily etc. The only downside with these would be availability. I am not too sure if Lidl is located in every country but it is widely available in Ireland and the UK.

I hope you guys like this post and if you do get your hands on these products let me know your thoughts on them down below.

Mini Penneys Haul.

Finally I am back. I am aware that I have been a bit AWOL recently, but I haven't really been interested in blogging too much and I have just been happy reading other peoples blogs. I am back though and I am hoping that I will keep up the blogging as I do want to get back into it. So the first thing I decided I would write about was the items I have recently purchased from Penneys (Primark). I have not been in Penneys in ages and I was so excited to go there yesterday afternoon. I had imagined all the amazing new stock they would have in, new clothes, shoes, jewellery! Alas this was not the case. I felt I had seen everything before, the jewelery has been the same for about three months now. Dissapointed. I did manage to find a few nice things though, and even one from the mens section. Whenever I am in Penneys I always always start in the shoe section. Now as its summer time (I have yet to see any sun) there is a tonne of cute flip flops and sandals stacked high on the shelves of Penneys. The first thing I picked up were these shoes. So. Freaking. Cute.







These are possibly my all time favourite shoes this year. I love the colour and the print is so Cath Kidston and I absolutely love it. And the best part is they were only four euro :) BARGAIN. The next two items I picked up were hoodies. I adore wearing hoodies on a daily basis to keep my self warm during those chilly days in Ireland and when im having a lazy day in with my boyfriend. The first one I picked up was a navy speckled one from the mens section. It was only €14. I was instantly drawn to it as it reminded me of the American Apparel hoodies that cost of this one.I love it.





The second hoodie I picked up is my fave. Its such a nice colour and so summery that I had to have it. It was only a bargainous €10. Love it!



Next up I purchased a pyjamas set. Its basically a shorts and vest combo in the nicest colour ever. I picked this up because in July I will be going on a mini break with my boyfriend to the beach so decided these would be perfect. I especially love the cute saying on the front.

Last but not least was this handbag. I was in need of a new handbag in a neutral shade as I had never purchased one before. This is one of my favorite types of handbags, the ones with short handles and a long strap. Super cute I must say. I decided to pick it up in this grey shade as I thought it would stay cleaner longer than the cream version they had. This handbag was only €11 which was not too expensive. I think I will get great wear out of this and I am sure it will go with absolutely everything.





A closer look at the gold detailing on the bag.



So there you have it. All of my purchases from Penneys. Nothing too exciting but still some cute pieces. Hope you enjoyed reading and I will try my best to keep posting. :) BTW excuse the picture layout and writing being messed up I cannot fix it.. :(

Primark Nail Polish - Who knew it would be this good?

Hey guys! So I was shopping recently in Penneys (Primark whatever) and I came across their range of nail polishes. I have two polishes from them from a while back, one from their Glo baby glo nail polishes (which glow under UV light and look so cool) and one of their Anjelica nail polishes. I adore the Glo one, its super opaque, creamy and a lovely polish to work with. On the other hand the Anjelica one I purchased was not so good. It was watery and came out a horrible colour. I had purchased what I thought was a nice orange called Hip Hop, but once applied to your nails it turns a gross neon pink colour which was not what I had wanted. This put me of purchasing any other colours from this line, until I came across what I think is their Spring/Summer collection. This collection has the most gorgeous pastel shades ever! Yellow, pink, orange and blue, I love them! I picked up four, a blue, a purple, pink and a coral colour.
Glo Baby Glo Polish
Here are the colours from the spring collection that I picked up.
So there you have it guys, I would highly recommend you check these polishes out they are amazing and I love them! I am currently wearing sorbet on my nails and its such a pretty color and compliments my skin tone well. I hope you guys enjoyed this and I will be back soon with a mini nail polish haul! Bye guys :)

Revlon Lip Butters: Review

Hey guys! Its been a very long time since I blogged. Well to be honest I never really began... :/ This month I decided that I would get my blogging back on track and try to at least do a few posts a week. To start of this kind of new years resolution ( on my blog at least) I decided what better way to begin than with the ever so popular Revlon lip butters.


These lip butters are HUGE all over the internet. People have been tweeting about them, youtube videos have been jam packed with these cute little lipbalms. The two I decided to pick up were 'Cotton Candy' and 'Lollipop'. In my local Boots there was only four to choose from anyways so I had very little choice to begin with.


Ill start off with Cotton Candy. This is a light pink colour with a tiny bit of an almost gold shimmer running through it. Its absolutely gorgeous on your hand and looks very pigmented but once on your lips it doesn't really show up too much. Personally I still like it as I an just through it on and not have to worry too much, but I'm sure most people would rather it be pigmented.


Next we have Lollipop. This is perhaps my favorite out of the two. Its very pigmented even on the lips. Its a bright pink again but more on the darker side and less pastel pink than Cotton Candy. It again has a slight gold shimmer running through it. I personally would have preferred it to have no shimmer but hey what can you do right?


So overall I think the Revlon Lip Butters are great and I would recommend them. As far as them moisturizing your lips, I personally do not notice any difference to mine. The only thing that would put me off purchasing another one of them is the €11 price tag. Steeep...
