Mini Beauty Haul

I've not been buying a huge amount lately in an attempt to use and make the most out of things I already have. One product aside, I've bought products to replace the ones I've used up recently.

Fushi Organic Sweet Almond Oil

I've always used Coconut Oil for a multitude of beauty tasks, mainly as a hair mask. I've become slightly bored of it so decided to have a bit of a change and give sweet almond oil a go. Fushi make a good selection of organic, cold pressed oils which I'm planning on trying more of in the future. I love the fact that I won't have to melt this oil everytime I want to use it as a hair mask!

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme 

I tried a sample of the original Elasticizer a while ago and thought it was brilliant, when I decided to buy a full pot I went for the extreme version instead as it's designed for thick, coarse hair that's quite damaged. I'm desperately trying to get my hair back to a good condition and I hear this is the stuff for the job!

Soap & Glory Archery

I usually fill in any gaps in my brows with powder and an angled brush, it gives the best finish but it's definitely not the quickest method. I also unfortunately lost my spoolie between a crack in the floorboards so an eyebrow pencil with a spoolie on the end was a necessary purchase! I really love this one, the pencil is very thin and so looks very natural it also has a wind up mechanism so it does't need to be sharpened.

Soap & Glory Supercat

I've been wearing winged liner a lot lately so when my Avon SuperExtend liner ran out I needed another one pronto. I had read good reviews on this one and I'm really glad I got it, the pigment it super black, the point stays sharp and the formula stays put.

Nars And God Created the Woman Palette

Late to the party, I know. I finally caved and bought this palette after lusting after it for the longest time. I'm so glad I did because I absolutely love it and have been getting a lot of use out of it. I know it will be my go-to palette for traveling as it's a great edited down selection of every colour I need. 

Have you tried any of these products?

Review - Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

I recently got a mini Philip Kingsley Elasticizer free with InStyle Magazine but I thought I'd wait till I'd used it a while before writing a review. Seeing as it's one of the most hyped up hair products, I obviously had very high hopes for this one and it definitely delivers. 

It's a great hair strengthener and deep conditioner which leaves hair feeling a lot softer and more manageable. I've been using it every other hair wash and so far the results have been amazing, I'll definitely be buying a full size when it runs out and I'll definitely be recommending it to anyone who colours or regularly heat styles their hair. 

The only slightly annoying thing about it? It's a pre shampoo treatment which needs to be applied to wet hair, meaning you have  to wet your hair, apply it, leave it on for a while and then shampoo it out and follow it with a conditioner, it's not your run of the mill conditioner replacement mask. I get around it by wetting hair and applying it in the evening and washing it out the next morning, that way I'm not sat around twiddling your thumbs! That said I definitely think it's worth the effort because the results are just amazing, and I've only been using it a few weeks!
