Review: Moroccan Oil Light Treatment
Monday, June 23, 2014
I have wanted to try Moroccan Oil (the genuine, original one) for ages, I have tried some hair oils but I have been disappointed in one way or another with them. I was kindly sent this hair oil treatment from Hairtrade via EtailPR, click here to check out my disclaimer.
I have the *Moroccan Oil Light Treatment (£31.85) but you can buy a smaller 25ml bottle. The bottle came with a screw cap on and the pump separately and it was easy to change. I love the packaging and bottle of this product, it looks really luxe and expensive which makes me want to use it more! The text is easy to read, the bottle feels quite heavy and the product has an 'ultra light formula rich in anti-oxidant argan oil that instantly absorbs into hair to immediately enhance manageability, shine and deliver long term conditioning without leaving residue'. This product is aimed at people with fine or light hair, neither of which I have, but it works really well for my thick, long, coloured hair.
The pump is really quick and easy to use, it dispenses a good amount of product each time and the oil has the most amazing scent. The oil smells musky and almost like coconut - it smell similar to the new Nuxe fragrance (which I adore!). To use, I apply one pump to my hands and then rub my hands together so there is an even distribution and work it through the mid lengths and ends of my hair. I use it on dry hair and wet hair and it works equally as well either way. On dry hair I find it works to tame frizz and smooth but on wet hair it is more detangling, frizz fighting and nourishing.
The oil doesn't weight my hair down or make it greasy in any way - it adds some shine but it is not a greasy shine and it leaves the nice scent in my hair. I feel like this product conditions and nourishes my hair while providing smoothing and frizz taming results. I think this one bottle will not last me a long time as I am using it every other day! I think that this product is definitely worth the money and for me personally it lives up to its claims. ★★★★★, 5/5!

In Love With Fashion Competition
Monday, November 04, 2013
In Love With Fashion are currently holding a giveaway whereby you can win £30 to spend on their site. In Love With Fashion believe that you should always wear an item more than once and being able to transform your summer clothing into autumn/winter outfits is a great money saving idea. Send your blog post entries via facebook and you can share your entries via twitter. Email lfa@inlovewithfashion for examples and to send your entry. Closes 7th November. Also write a small description of your outfits/theme.
Outfit One: This outfit comprises the Cream Cropped Cable Knit Jumper (£28) that is in all three outfits. The aim of the competition was to find items that you can use with numerous outfits. The jumper comes in a white and grey shade too. I paired the jumper with a Zara like skort were it looks like a skirt but it is a pair of black smart shorts. The Black Wrap Shorts are priced at £32. I like the casual jumper with a pair of smart, formal shorts. I think this outfit would look great with a pair of formal but sexy heels, such as these ILWF Triple Buckle Chunky Heel Shoes (£30). You could add nude or thin black tights. A simple but smart outfit.
Outfit Two: Again the same jumper but this time over the Pink Floral Summer Playsuit (£36). Adding a chunky knitted jumper over a floral summery playsuit gives the more summery items in your wardrobe a new lease of life. Team with Nude Suede Platform Shoes (£10, sale) or even with black biker boots! Rose gold jewellery would look great with this look.
Outfit Three: My favourite outfit! Make the cute cream jumper a bit more edgy with a gorgeous White Tartan Shift Dress (£30). Tartan is a massive trend right now and I think this dress would look great with the cream jumper over the top. Add some black biker boots and thick black tights this outfit would look amazing!
There are my outfits, my theme is: girly turned grungy and making more summery clothing into outfits that you can wear during the autumn and winter with a few additions x
Review: Casio Silver Ladies Watch
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
I am signed up to the Etail PR blogger network and I applied for their campaign involving a store called The Watch Hut. The Watch Hut is the UK's largest watch website and they have have a few stores around the UK. I was sent the Casio Silver Ladies Watch to review, however even though I was sent this product to review, the photographs and opinions are honest and my own (see the PR sub heading for some more information).
Before I received the watch I was a bit concerned about the size as my wrists are quite tiny but the watch itself is fairly small so it is perfect for me. The watch is a great size, I love the silver and burgundy colours - they look great and the watch goes with a lot of casual outfits. I have been wearing this watch mostly with skinny jeans, chunky jumpers and boots, for example, my nordic style H&M jumper and more recently a chunky black jumper that I bought in the Ark sale. It is a nice versatile watch in my opinion.
The closure on the watch strap is easy to use, I had to get my dad to slide the closure further down the metal strap as it was too big on my small wrists but it was easy to alter using a small jewellers screwdriver. The watch set up was also easy and it has a timer and alarm on it too. The watch is also water resistant and it is lightweight and flexible so it is fairly comfortable to wear. However I do find the metal links that make up the watch strap can pull on the small hairs around the arm which isn't great - but overall, it is a nice watch that looks quite retro! It would make a great Christmas present. It is currently priced at £24.75 on The Watch Hut which I think is a great price as in my opinion it looks a lot more expensive.
