Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave In Conditioner

Hello lovelies, If you haven't used Aussie Miracle then where have you been? This has been my staple hair care product for YEARS now and it has never failed me yet.




As you can see the squirty bottle is very nicely designed. The pump distributes the product thoroughly. The instructions are clear and easy to read, and the list of ingredients is just magical. I'm not exaggerating, who ever made this formula hit the jackpot as it really does smell amazing. What's more,  the smell actually clings to your hair so as you swish it you and those around you get to smell the lovely fragrance.

I'll always remember the night of my first date with my boyfriend and how terribly un-organised I was. I left myself 30 minutes to shower, change, brush my teeth, make up and do all the other pre first date things us women do, only on stepping into his car, I remembered I had completely forgot to put on any deodorant or perfume. Me personally, I was instantly concious of it and was really relieved when he said I smelled nice and asked what had I put in my hair. I don't know why I shared that useless piece of personal information BUT is suppose it shows that If you do have a first date or want to smell nice in a hurry, this is what you need.

Aside from the fragrance, This product works wonders. I spray liberal amounts into my bleached- straw like- thick hair and it really transforms my locks. The ends feel softer and less brittle, my hair always has a shine to it and I find my hair has a lot more strength after prolonged use. It works brilliantly as a detangler and really reduces snagging. I used to have really long hair and I always used this product so In my quest to grow my hair after my countless cuts and colours this is my go to product, (This and Moroccanoil). It doesn't weigh down your hair and there is no worry about Aussie making your hair feel greasy.

Aussie Miracle is retailing in Boots at the minute for £4.49, so Its great value for money. If you buy in boots too, They usually have a special offer on for 3 for 2 and If you have an advantage card you can collect points too.

Anyone else love this? Or have an alternate must have fave leave in conditioner?

Much Love
Amy

N Spa Lip Butters

Hello there gorgeous! Hope you are well today! I'm going to share my latest supermarket buy with you all, Its's the N Spa lip butter trio that I picked up from ASDA.

Isn't this packaging just adorable? So colourful, summery and bold. Wonder who the advertising genius was that decided to write "PICK ME" on the box? Pat on the back for that! At the minute I have a growing obsession for beauty goodies that are organic or natural, and these butters fit the bill just nicely. In this day and age why should we be using artificial, man made products that have been tested on animals? there just no need!

Packaging aside (I can ramble forever about packaging!), these lip butters are really lovely. It's nice to have a choice of three different flavours too. With all this warm weather we do need to keep our lips from drying out! My favourite Is the Shea Butter, Its the underdog too, as I imagined I'd prefer the other two (Raspberry or Mango). Just goes to show, don't always rule out anything that you wouldn't normally try!

The Lip butters are very hardened but melt onto your finger quite easily with a good rub, they last a long time but like all lip products you need to re apply quite liberally to maintain that moisturised feeling. The taste stays for a little while but won't last through food or drink.


I paid £3.00 for this trio which is really great value, makes them a snip at £1.00 each.


I'm going to sample a few of N Spa's other products. Any recommendations?

Much Love
Amy

Figs & Rouge Rambling Rose Balm

Hello! I've found myself becoming slightly obsessed with Organic Produce, everything from food to cosmetics. I've recently discovered an amazing brand Figs & Rouge. They are a UK based company who design and make 100% organic lip and skin care products. 

The Packaging of all of the Figs and Rouge products is super cute, super sophisticated and super practical. The instructions for the products are really easy to follow and the little tins are sturdy and ideal for travel or handbags. The design of the tin would give the impression that the balm is really expensive when in actual fact, it isn't. I purchased my tin from Feel Unique at the small price of just £4.95 for 17 ml. 

This specific Balm is for the lips, face and body. It's Intensively moisturising and Hydrating. Just a super small slick and your skin is left feeling rejuvenated. I have a four month old baby boy and I have even slicked a tiny amount of this over his skin in the cold weather to stop him getting sore. Its so incredibly gentle, even the most sensitive of skin can reap this products benefits. I've applied this to dry skin on my partner (who wears big burly boots all years) feet and it definitely helped. If like me you suffer from dry bouts of skin, I'd seriously suggest you invest in one of the Figs & Rouges tins, It feels like the elasticity is returned to tight skin and everything feels soo much softer.  If you have dry lips keep this at hand and apply liberally and frequently!

This product smells AMAZING. For being completely natural you'd expect a yucky or zero smell at all, Wrong. It smells quite floral. (my other half wasn't impressed with the smell on his feet!) It's really nice. It isn't overpowering and the smell does stick around for quite a while. 

This balm is easy to blend so sits well under or over other products. It does feel quite grainy but this quickly disappears. I think the texture is one of the reasons this product works as well, when you rub the little grains disappear and its quite massaging. 

If you don't already own this! Go out and buy it. Make up and other cosmetics apply so much better on soft, moisturised skin, so get yourself the prefect natural base. I'm head over heels. Oh Emma Watson is rumoured to love this too.... If it's good enough for a celebrity... 

Much Love
Amy
