At Last...





Percy + Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask

I love this hair mask I've started using it once a week as I love it so much and it gives my hair a really good condition.

It's totally my rescue remedy. I use it when I think my hair needs a really good condition and this deep, indulgent treatment helps restore my hair's vitality, it makes it more soft and manageable. It includes marshmallow to lend a hand nourishing and stregnthening stressed tresses and coconut oil that deep conditions and moisturises my hair. My saviour!
I put a lot of product on my hair, from hairspray, to heat protection and I'm always playing with it. You can tell I have my fingers in my hair a lot because it gets greasy quite quickly. I put this product on my hair once a week to bring my hair back to normal condition.

You put it on dry hair and really work it through from the roots to the tip. Once covered I normally twist it into a bun and then wrap a towel tightly around my head, on the tube it says leave it on for 10 minutes, the first time I put it on I left it on for 30 minutes and then had a shower. I didn't wash my hair, once I had rinsed the mask out my hair felt so soft and silky and barely had any tangles in it when I brushed it after. I dried my hair and styled it with ease, I have very fine naturally curly hair which is normally quite a struggle to straighten or even curl but after this I had no problem styling my hair

> portrait week 1 <




Haven't really done much this week, finished writing out all the invitations to our engagement party so I will be sending them off next week :) engagement party is the 26th October - exciting times.
Had my nails done yesterday and it feels so good having them done again. Because of my heart condition I have whats called clubbed fingers - I personally think it makes my fingers look like sausages, you'll see wha I mean when I post pictures up of my nails.
Today I went to my very first Westcountry Wedding Show. It was really good. I have got the main things for my wedding such as my dress, colour scheme and things like that but I still need ideas for favours and bridesmaid dresses and grooms outfits ect, there was a fashion show and I saw a gorgeous red dress for my bridesmaids. I'm having my 2 younger sisters who are 15 + 18 they are both different sizes and have different styles one wants a prom style poofed out dress and the other wants a long floaty dress. The dress I chose is a long floaty one, so I'm taking the other sister to go and have a look at it.  I know it's my wedding day but if my sisters dont get what they want then I'm scared they might ruin the day for me. I hope they don't! I didn't really look at the dresses to much in the fashion show as I already have mine, I was looking more at hairstyles and hair pieces and little flower girl dresses (:
This week, I'm planning on going to the gym - after my doctor gives the 'ok' for it. I went last Wednesday and although I couldn't do too much I was able to do enough to feel rather achey the next day. Have my wedding next year and even though I don't think I'm fat I do have certain areas that wobble a bit too much for my liking so I'm going to the gym to tone up =)
I'm in the middle of writing quite a few reviews up so keep an eye out for them, and I'm looking forward to playing around with the new Barry M nail polishes that I have just purchased - eek! That's my one weakness - nail polishes. I love them and loving playing around with them and adding glitter top coats :)

I'll be there for you...






I purchased this from Avon for something completely different for me to try - I mean I've done face masks before but I've never done a clay face mask before.
It is definitely something that I would recommend to my Avon customers! it made my face feel amazing.
I applied it to my face in a clay type color - obviously - and put on quite a thin layer and waited until it turned pink, which took about 10-15 minutes.
I would recommend that you use a dark flannel to wash this off jut incase it stains, as it washes off it goes back to clay colour. Once patted dry, it left my face feeling so smooth, clear and able to breathe.
I would recommend this to anyone who who fancies a proper pamper session. Maybe follow it up with a hair mask too (=

Please excuse the moody glare - I didnt want to crack the face mask as it ends up all flakey. =)

Sorry, seems to be the hardest word...

Much Love

Lego House




How awesome is the new Lipsy Weekender Bag??
I received mine last Thursday and instantly emptied my Topshop bag and replaced everything into my new weekender bag. It’s huge! I actually think I over filled it as I was walking around with elbow ache by the end of the day lol! You can fit so much in there.  Easily my new favorite bag J
I have also completely fell in love with the new Strawberry and White Chocolate shower gel… it smells so good I physically want to eat it instead of showering in it. I don’t even think the reality smells that good! I poured some into little travel bottles for a couple ladies in work. And got a couple sales through it double bonus – but now I also have the hand and body lotion and also the Room and Linen spray to match… definitely purchasing that again. So lush! And it lingers – especially the hand and body lotion. I can still smell it on my hands now and I put it on over an hour a go. I really recommend any products that have this sort of fragrance as an option.
I’m still raving about the new ColorTrend range. I love the lipsticks and the eye shadows are so nice as well. I’m really enjoying experimenting with them.
I’ve managed to already secure a few sales of the new City Rush perfume. They’ve also got the free gifts of the shower gel, clutch bag etc which I think is a really good incentive for people to buy it so I’ve been promoting it a lot lately.
I’ve been doing a lot of product testing lately and I’m planning on writing up reviews for it soon. These are things from Avon products to normal everyday drug store products too. So keep checking back for them.
