Review - TRESemme Texture Style Velvet Creme

Like a lot of people, I'm always in search for the perfect bed head hairstyle, that I just rolled out of bed, Serena Van Der Woodsen style hair. One thing I love it messy, beachy waves. I'm lucky in that my hair has a natural curl when its allowed to dry naturally. One thing it lacks is volume

So, on my quest for my Gossip Girl hair, I picked up the Velvet Creme from Tresemme. I'm a devotee of the Divine Definition Spray for messing up my hair, so I was keen to try this creme. Velvet Creme is a styling cream that aims to get a messy, textured finish to hair. The cream is similar to the Bumble & Bumble Bb texture (un)dressing cream, but at £21.50, its a tad pricey for a big tube so this is a much better choice!

I tend to use a small blob of this cream on the ends of my hair, rubbing between my hands before concentrating it on the ends of my hair. It did give me a lot more texture and volume throughout the lengths which was great, plus it lasted really well.

You do have to be careful with how much you use in your hair, but a little does go a long way. If I want more messiness then I just repeat the process, and then blast my hair upside down with my hairdryer to speed up the drying. Team this with the Definition spray and you've got dream hair, now all I need is to look like Blake Lively!

What do you think, how do you like to style your hair? xx

Desert Island Products

Imagine that you are going on holiday to a desert island. You are only able to take limited products with you...what would they be?


I thought this would be fun to share what my can't live without products would be, and to hear about yours!

• Benefit You Rebel Tinted Moisturiser as I hate wearing foundation all the time, but mixing some of this with my chosen foundation is a great for a light coverage!

• Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara is in my opinion the best mascara I have in my collection. I love that it creates really dark full lashes, and I often just wear this with no eyeshadow at all.

• Models Own Purple Grey is the colour that I always reach for when I'm undecided. I think that most of the Models Own polishes are fantastic and this colour is one that I cannot live without!

• Tresemme Colour Revitalise Shampoo and Conditioner is my current love for my hair. I use the shampoo as it helps lock in the red colour that I dye my hair. I cheat with the conditioner and have a bottle of hair dye mixed into it that I put in my hair to keep my colour bright red! I really noticed that this does help me fight the fade, even just using the shampoo on its own!

• Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish has been sitting on my shelf for a while whilst I used up my previous cleanser and I love that I am now able to use it! It's fantastic, need I say more!

I think those would be the 5 (OK 6) products that I would take with me, what about you?
