Superdrug haul:

I'm back already, I have a Superdrug haul this time. Lets get straight into it!


As I was taking the picture the little white tub rolled, but its just the Superdrug coconut oil. I have used this before and loved it. I ran out a while ago. I use this on my hair mainly as an overnight treatment. I have a problem with hair fallout and slow hair growth. This helps a lot in my personal experience. It may not work for others, but it did for me. It stops my hair falling out as much and I noticed my hair grew a little quicker when I worked this into my roots (massaging the area) around two-three times a week. It can be messy, and take a while to wash out but I think its worth it. I absolutely love it. I will never go back. Link here: Superdrug coconut oil



I've used the Batiste dry shampoo XXL volume in the past (when I was blonde) so thought I'd try it out with darker hair, and it definitely did give me an oomph in the past along with livening the hair up in between washes. Link here: XXL dry shampoo

Blend perfection foundation sponge by cosmopolitan-I've used a few cheapish versions of these sponges before, and saw this one on offer and thought I'd give it a go. It wasn't too expensive anyway, but the offer price really attracted me to it. Link here: Cosmopolitan blend perfection sponge

I've been obsessed with skincare for a while now, even more so in the past year or two. I've been wanting to try a face oil for some time, and I saw this one by Superdrug's B. range. This is a little bit pricey, but it was on offer so I had to have it. Although this product is stated for people in their 30's and 40's I saw no reason why I couldn't give it a whirl. This one is the B.replenished antioxidant boost which includes vitamin E and C, Rosehip oil, Argan oil, and Crambe seed oil. I think I am going to enjoy this tremendously as I've applied it once before going to sleep and I noticed my skin looked a little bit brighter. Hopefully this will bring good results.

I also purchased the Manuka Doctor age defying eye cream. This has Manuka honey and purified bee venom. I am looking forward to trying this out. Link here: Manuka Doctor eye cream



Last but not least I thought I would include a lip balm from Primark. Its £1 and I got it in pineapple flavour. I was pleasantly surprised after one application, I struggle with dry lips most of the time no matter what I do. I applied this once and about an hour or so later I noticed my lips were a lot less dry after it wore off.  Amazing for a really for a cheap lip balm.

That's all for now, have you tried any of these products? did you have good experiences? see you all soon,

Very first blog post:

Hello guys! Wanted to finally start uploading on here, and thought I'd start by doing a review as its short and sweet and a great introduction. I'm not 100% on how to use this site yet so bare with me =]


Feel free to ask any questions related to my blog posts, I will be happy to get back to you! 





I'll start by talking about the batiste dry shampoo as it is a must have for me, due to having oily hair. I usually have to wash my hair every other day or on the 3rd day if I'm lucky. So in between I spritz this little beauty into my hair and it makes me look half decent for the day.
It's good for cutting back on grease, and putting volume into the hair, as my hair type is fine and can be limp at times. I would recommend this and rate it as a 8/10. The vo5 volume one, I think its called 'plump me up' if I remember correctly. It has added collagen - simply amazing, I have recently tried that and it definitely does increase volume. That one is my favorite one by far and that would get a 9 1/2/10.

Olay anti-wrinkle  nature fusion day lotion is next up: this is really good actually, as it hasn't broke me out -I have oily acne prone skin so I have to be careful what moisturisers I put on.
This is perfect for me, makes your skin feel really clean and tingly, and isn't over moisturising and greasy, sinks into the skin easily. Quite impressed with this and I got it on offer. Bargain! 8/10. 

Nivea 2in 1 cleanser: I think this is great as its for normal to combination skin, so suites mine fine. I haven't had any problems with it in terms of breakouts, it removes makeup effectively and I feel clean and refresh afterwards. I just massage it into my skin and wipe off with cotton pads, usually the double sided from superdrug/boots/tesco as they don't fluff.

Vitamin E range from superdrug/and boots:
I purchased the eye makeup remover from superdrug's own range, and it does the job ok, doesn't burn or sting, and its gentle for the eye area. I would rate this a 7/10. 

The eye cream and face cream are from boots: the eye cream is quite good although my eyes do water and sting a bit, so I tend to put this on at bedtime to stop any from irritating my eyes and its fine then. I haven't really noticed much difference from using it in terms of dark circles etc but I only wanted it to moisturise.  6/10.
The face cream is quite rich, and if I apply it too much or too often it does break me out slightly, so I tend not to use it much. If I feel my skin is a tad thirsty I apply it at night and in the morning my skin is really smooth and soft. 5/10. 

Tweezers: these came as a pack of two from ASDA, one is for precise plucking with a pointed tip, these are my favorite as they are better to grip the tiny hairs that can be missed. They are also really cute as they are pink with tiny white polka dots. 8/10.

That's it for my skincare, don''t really need to go into detail about deodorant =] thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope you liked it. <3
