A Disappointment - 2

Oh No it is a DISAPPOINTMENT POST!!!
I really don't like posting about the products I dislike but I love the idea that I am inform you guys on the pros and cons of different things. 
This post is really upsetting me because it is about a LUSH product! I love LUSH so much and whenever I see a store I have to go in. I never thought I would find a LUSH product I would A) dislike and B) dislike so much I would want to blog about it. 

BIG SOLID CONDITIONER! 


I love the BIG sea salt shampoo and it was because of this I was very excited to try the solid condition. It has a similar smell to the shampoo, very fresh and clean - sadly that is where the good points end. This product is very hard to use, the instructions say to 'Stroke your hair' with it but I found it almost impossible to get any of the product on to my hair. It took a lot of hard work and pulling of my hair to get even a small amount on my roots. Already unimpressed I began to work the product into me hair. Once out of the shower I was able to feel how dry my hair was, I styled as I do normally and once finished my hair felt dry and flat - It just looked unhealthy! It also did not do my hands any good, I am not sure whether it was the product itself or all the hard rubbing I had to do to get it on my hair but my hands felt dry and tight for about a day or so after I had used it. 

This product was such a disappointment but my love for LUSH is still strong! 
Have any of you lovely people tried this condition? What do you think?

Get To Know Me...

Hello there lovely people! 
I think it is time you knew a little bit about the girl be hide the blog, so here we go...

1) Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
I have bi-polar hair! It is very long and thick, dark Brown and has a mind of its own. Some days I will wake up with pretty straight hair, other days it will be straight with sightly curly ends and then some days I have full on messy curlyness (if that even a word!). So the answer to this question would be... I am not to sure. 

2) Do you dye your hair?
The colour of my hair (dark brown) is my natural color. I have only dyed my hair once when I was about 12 and wanted to rebel a bit against my parents -I dyed it red and it ended so badly my mum had to fix it
 (so much for being a rebel).

3) What is your style?
I have no idea! 

4) Do you do your own mani or go to a salon?
I bite my nails so I am to embarrassed to go to a salon to get them done - so I do then myself.  

5) How often do you change your nail polish?
About every other day! I own a lot of nail polish and the only way I am able to justify owning the amount I do to my family (and myself) is by changing a lot. 

6) Do you paint your toes in the winter or just in the summer?
My toes are painted all year round.

7) How long does it take you to put on make-up?
About 15 minutes on a normal day.

8) Do you wear a full face of make-up everyday?
Nope, some days a full face of make up is just not needed!

9) Will you leave the house without make-up?
Yep, do proud in your own skin!!!

10) How often do you change your handbag?
A lot!!! I have a thing of handbags, if I see a pretty one I have to have it.

11) What time do you get up and go to sleep?
I get up at 7:30 and try to be asleep by 11 but it is usually later.

12) How often do you work out?
2 hours 4 times a week.

13) Left handed or right?
Right

14) How tall are you?
5'4

15) Do you speak any foreign languages?
Nope - I wish I did!

16) How often are you on blogger?
Not as much I wish I could be but I am trying to change that.

17) Do you have a wish list of products?
Yep and it is about 3 miles long.

18) How often do you clean your house?
I go around picking things up, sorting things out, dusting a couple of times a week. I do a big clean on Saturday mornings.

19) What is your favorite colour?
PINK!!!

20) Do you swear?
It is bad and I really shouldn't but I do!

21) What are you doing the rest of the day? 
Lots of blogging to make up for lost time.

My Morning Playlist

In my opinion everyone should walk out the door in the morning ready to face the day with a smile, for some of us (myself included) finding the confidence to walk down the street feeling fabulous is hard. This is why I made a playlist of what I think are some of the best songs to get me smiling and feeling beautiful in the morning! 
(NOTE: I know some of these songs are cheesy and not everyone favorite but I can not lie,
 all of them make me smile)

It has almost run out.... HELP!!!

I am very upset right now because I have just seen that one of my all time favorite products is about to 
(well pretty much has) run out and as my last post was all about Lipsticks I am keeping with that theme...


 As you can see my Lancome Rouge A Levres Attraction has been well loved and well used. As one of my first high end lipsticks I have loved this for a long time (you could most likely tell that by the state of the packaging). 


The colour, Rose Impulsion is my perfect colour, a beautiful shade of pink with a small amount of shimmer making it perfect for both day time and evening. It is not to heavy on the lips and the colour lasts for a long time.


The packaging (although now a little worse for where) was also beautiful and classy and it made me smile whenever I pulled it out of my make up bag. Sadly Lancome discontinued this line of lipstick and I have yet to find a colour that matches it in any of there current lipstick collections - sad face!  

Hope you enjoyed this post, I am off to mourn the loss of a amazing lipstick!
