Burts Bees Colour Keeper Shampoo and Conditioner

Afternoon lovelies, hope your enjoying your weekend. I've spent the last couple of days at my parents house and now I'm at my nephews 4th birthday party, we're having a Scooby Doo themed party.


I've had my hair dyed different colours for as long as I can remember, but the biggest problem I have is how dry and damaged it gets, so I try to treat it well whenever possible.


To help, I use a lot of shampoos which are aimed at coloured hair, and I was recently sent a shampoo and conditioner by Burts Bees.


Burts Bees Colour Keeper Green Tea & Fennel Seed Shampoo and Conditioner is a natural shampoo and conditioner which are sulphate free that help to neutralise elements that can damage the hair, as well as improving the vibrancy of coloured hair.


Considering its sulphate free the shampoo does foam up quite well, but I find that I get quite a lot of product build up after a few days and so I need to use a different shampoo to get rid of that. Also the consistency is very thin so I find myself using more then I should.


The smell is quite underwhelming so its not one that will linger over the course of the day which I quite like.



The contitioner is quite thick so it nourishes my hair well, but does take a lot of work to get washed out and its easy to not get it all out.


Overall I do like these, my hair has never been quite so lovely, and it leaves it very glossy which is nice.


You can get Burts Bees products from http://www.burtsbees.co.uk and http://www.feelunique.com where its priced between £8.50 - £9.99.


Have you ever tried any Burts Bees hair care?

Topshop Cream Blush in Flush

 

Afternoon lovelies, hope your well, the weekend is so close!!

Before I started watching YouTube videos and reading blogs, I never even knew that blushers could come in cream form, and I've always been too scared to try them, fearing I'd look more Pikachu then Posen.

So I've quietly stood back and admired from a far, as I didn't want to spend my money on something I would use once and then never use again. But I finally bit the bullet in January and bought this blush from Topshop for the princely sum of £6! Bargain!

Armed with my trusty Real Techniquea stippling brush, I have used this every day for 2 weeks and I am now a convert.

Flush is a gorgeous bright pink shade which looks quite scary in the pot but a lot less bright when blended into the skin. 

It blends really well into the skin, leaving a gorgeous dewy finish that lasts really well over the course of a hectic day at school. It can be blended in with a brush or your fingers, along the cheeck bones or on the apples of the cheeks for a 'just been out in the snow' glow!

 

As if the product wasnt gorgeous enough, the packaging is really cute and sturdy, with a great sized mirror. Even the box is gorgeous with the white sketch of the packaging on the black box! 




 I feel I need more cream blush in my life now, and once my spending ban is up then I will be stocking up on the other two colours that Topshop do!

Have you tried any of the cream blushes? How about any other products from Topshop! I feel the need for some more virtual hauling!
