Miracle MiracOILicious Hair Treatment

I recently got my hair dyed and wanted to get it as blonde as I could in one go. My hair is dry anyway from using heating appliances and colouring over the years so I knew that I was going to have to get something to keep my hair hydrated after dying it so much lighter. I love Mark Hill products so I looked through the range and found this 2 minute intensive treatment called MiracOILicious. It's an exotic blend of 14 of the finest essential oils and plant extracts which includes Moroccan Argan Oil, Ylang-Ylang and Bergamot. 

After shampooing my hair I squeeze out the excess water and massage the treatment from my roots to ends. Be careful not to use too much. I scooped out way too much the first time I used it. I left it in for around 5 minutes on my first application because of how dry my hair was and then rinsed it out throughly but 2 minutes is all that it takes. I can't get over how soft and hydrated my hair is getting after using MiracOILicious. It feels so much stronger and healthier and the smell is amazing. I bought mine in Boots for €10.99. 

Review - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Ok first of all, shame on me for taking so long to use this product! When it comes to removing my make-up, I like something that's quick and easy. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, without a doubt, has been the fastest product to remove my make-up (just as good as a packed night club). I'm still a bit shocked at how little of the cleansing water I had to use. This is an all-in-one cleanser, there's no need to rub in to remove your make-up. It's also fragrance free and suitable for all skin types. After I used it, my skin felt instantly refreshed and I had no excess make-up left on my face.

Micellar Cleansing Water feels so pure against your skin and you can also use it over your eyes and lips. I love the fact that I don't need to rub my eyes and pull my skin like I normally do with make-up wipes. I won't be without it again and it also comes in a 125ml bottle - great for having in your handbag. I bought the 400ml bottle in Penneys today for €3.90.

Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick

Wow. This Seventeen gold-bronze shimmer brick is just amazing! When I applied it, I couldn't believe how little of it I had to use to get the result that I wanted. My cheekbones were immediately glowing! I also applied some to my brow arch, nose and cupid's bow as a highlighter. You can also achieve your desired "strobing" look with this shimmer brick as it has four shades for you to create your desired look with. Strobing is a new dewy look created by using a highlighter. This is one product that I'll never be without! Buy yours for €6.29 in Boots.

Boots Botanics Beauty Buys!

Sleep and me just don't get on. Once in a blue moon I'll get a night that I sleep through a full 8 hours so I always feel like my skin needs a pick me up. I can also get stressed out and that combined with lack of sleep can make your skin look very dull and dehydrated. I was in Boots recently and came across the Botanics range. I was looking through the products when I saw 'All Bright Radiance Balm' and then when I saw on the back that it said "minimises visible signs of fatigue and stress leaving skin full of vitality" I was definitely purchasing!

I've been using it for a few days now and I can't believe how fresh my skin looks. It gives a fantastic, healthy glow to your skin and I've found I haven't been wearing as much makeup because of the radiance my skin has got from this product. There was a 3 for 2 offer on in Boots so I bought two and also purchased the 'All Bright Hydrating Day Cream SPF 15'. Firstly, I apply the day cream and then use the radiance balm before applying my makeup. Personally, I won't be without these products after seeing how well they work! The radiance balm costs €7.99 and the day cream is €6.99. With the 3 for 2 offer on at the moment, I'd be making my way down fast!

Essence 'I love Extreme' Volume Mascara Review

I've been on the hunt for a 'go to' mascara for the past 10 years and finally, I've found it! Essence 'I Love Extreme' volume mascara is without a doubt one of my favourite mascaras. Personally, I find thicker brushes better and this brush is the thickest that I've used to date. The volume created on your lashes with this mascara is amazing! It has ultra-black pigments that covers every lash and creates an eye popping effect. I don't wear fake eyelashes and I've had people ask me what lashes I was wearing, when I was wearing this mascara. I couldn't recommend it more and for €3.49, what a bargain!! I purchased mine in Penneys.

Seventeen WOW Tan Liquid Glow Review!

I have a major love for Seventeen beauty products! I've bought loads that I'm going to review over the next few weeks. Anyway, I'm going to start off with the 'WOW Tan liquid glow'. I use it by applying it with some foundation to my cheekbones because the mixture itself is pretty thick. This gives my skin a holiday glow! I love using it as a highlighter but you can also use it to contour so really it's a 2 in 1 product! It's also only €7.59. Bargain!!

Cocoa Brown Yourself!!

Cocoa Brown gets the 10/10 for me! This beautiful tanning range spreads evenly over your skin and dries almost immediately. The 1 Hour Tan Mousse has become my favourite beauty product at the moment! Leave this tan developing for 1-3 hours depending on how dark you want it to be. I use the Tough Stuff scrub before I apply the tan and I have to say it's the best scrub that I've ever used! You can't fault the Cocoa Brown products. The smell from the tan is also fabulous and you don't feel conscious about smelling like a burnt biscuit! Marissa Carter has developed a fault free line. I also love the Night & Day Tan Mousse which is dark when you put it on for a night out and when you wash it off the next day you're left with a lighter tan which lasts up to 5 days! I can't recommend these products more! There are many more Cocoa Brown products that I will be blogging about in the coming weeks and I can't wait to try them out! You can have a look at the range here. Try it out, you won't be disappointed!
