Elf Haul

I don't know about you but I simply cant resist a good deal. Especially a good deal on makeup products. whilst randomly searching ELF (eyelipsface.co.uk) a sudden "flash sale" popped up for 30% of everything! so naturally I spent the last 60 pound of my student overdaft on making good use of this deal...

So here's what I've got.... (please excuse the rubbish quality of these pictures, the iPhone doesn't have the best camera...)

 

not bad for 60 pound ey?

 

 

This is only my second time trying elf products and look forward to trying out and tasting them all to be able to do a worst and best review post!  im already super impressed by the look of these products but as they say only time will tell!!

 

what are your favourite elf products?

Tgi Bed Head urban anti-dotes, recovery (damage level 2) shampoo and conditioner combo pack review!

Hello beauts!

So After years of bleaching, dying, straightening and curling my hair it was in a desperate need of some loving. I’ve tried all different types of shampoos and conditioners to try and bring my hair back to life. I decided to try the tgi bed head urban anti-dotes recovery shampoo and conditioner combo pack. And I have to admit this combo has stolen my heart and I am totally addicted.  I’m actually in shock about how much I love this product! I would of never of gone near it due to the price and only brought it as I seen it on offer in t x max.

 

My hair has never felt healthier or looked glossier. it feels soft, frizz-free and I would even go as far as to say it feels luxurious! it leaves my hair manageable and doesn't weigh it down!

I love the packaging, the colour of it is a beautiful dark teal colour! I also love that its a  pump, which means less wastage of the product! the shampoo lathers up beautifully and leaves your hair clean without stripping of your hair colour! The conditioner has a really thick, creamy and silky texture.

And to top it all off this product smells AMAZING! It has a super sweet smell that reminds me of skittles and unlike other shampoos and conditions I’ve tried you can smell this in your hair for days after you’ve washed it.

This retails for around £26 for shampoo and condition that is pretty pricy compared to drugstore products. However you get two massive bottles (750ml) and you only need a small amount! I brought mine at the end of June and I’m only a third a way through the bottle.

The only bad thing I would say about this product is it took a while for the effects of the product to stat showing, but boy was it worth it when they did appear.

So if your hair is in need of a bit of loving then I definitely recommend you to go purchase this, I promise your hair will thank you for it! You can buy this at a good price from feelunique.com.

Have you tried any of the bed head products? What do you think?

Much love,

xx

 

 

 

 

 

Weigh-day worries

Weigh day. A day of pure fear. A day were your to scared to eat anything “heavy”, a day were you constantly go over everything I’ve eaten and question whether that extra bite of my boyfriend’s chocolate bar is going to make me gain. A day of self-doubt, “have I done enough?” and sometimes even a day of excitement to finally see how much your hard work has payed of!
Last night was my weigh day, but not just any weigh-day, my first weigh day since I re-joined! After being a serial rejoiner for so long, I’ve had a lot of experience of these. I either lose really big or hardly anything at all, so nerves were at a full time high.

Is it just me or does everybody get as naked as possible when its their time to weigh? (Without showing any rude bits)  I removed my jacket, shoes, necklace and even my engagement ring (just in case that tiny bit of gold would make a half pound difference!) as I took the steps on the scales and watched the numbers flicker until they revealed the truth, ad boy was I shocked! A massive 8 pounds off in 7 days safe to safe I was grinning ear to ear the whole of group!

Hoping for another good loss next week to be able to reach my goal of getting 1.5 stone award before Christmas!
Much love,
xx

The end of a serial re-joiner

Hey Lovelies and welcome to my first ever slimming world blog post!
After months and months of posting everything I eat on Instagram I've decided pictures are no longer enough and as I love to talk thought id give this a go!


First things first, let me introduce myself.. I'm Laura, 21 and been on and off the slimming world plan for around 2 years! I know the plan inside out, nearly every recipe and the syn values for every treat. so why haven't I reached target already? well the truth is I am the worst slimmingworlder ever! and have a habit of constantly re-joining group! its like a circle, I get depressed about my weight and decide to go to group, really motivated for a few weeks, then temptation gets the better of me, end up having a binge and than don't go back which then leads to me getting depressed again and so the circle keeps going! until NOW.

 I re-joined last Thursday (10/10/13) and when I stood on those dreaded scales and saw the number pop up, I was filled with shock and sadness, id never weighed this much before and have to admit I did have a little cry after. I had put on so much in the few weeks I had been of plan that I now weighed  more than when I first ever started, which was a massive kick in the teeth! but I have no one to blame apart from myself so instead of moping around and stuffing my face with chocolate biscuits feeling sorry for myself, im going to give my all to slimming world! and make a vow to never miss a group no matter how badly I think ive done, in the hope ill NEVER have to see that weight on the scales again! im so embarrassed about my start weight so not going to tell the world now, but when ive lost a bit (okay, a lot) and feel more comfortable I will share my starting weight!
 
Much Love,
Laura

My two biggest loves in life, beauty and slimming world!
I'm by no means a beauty expert or guru, I do however have a massive passion for beauty and love to experiment and try new things which I love to talk about! Ill always give my honest view, otherwise what's the point right?

Slimming world has been a big part of my life since I first joined and going to use this blog as a motivation tool to help, I will post tips, recipes and share with you the highs and lows of my weight loss journey!
