Love Lula | February Beauty Box

Image
This month Love Lula box turned up a few weeks ago and he is what I got! Lovea Nature | £6.49  This smells so fresh! I haven't used this yet as I'm working my way through body washes bought for me at Christmas. Fair Squared | £4.50 This doesn't have a very exciting scent but it is a nice hand cream, smooths in well and absorbs very quickly. Skin Blossom | £5.95 I've been using this on off for a while, its quite nice but I haven't really formed much of an opinion on it yet. Ren | £36 (30ml) Madara | £6 This smells so beautiful and I'm so excite to use it ! So this is everything from this month box ! till the next time Jeni xo

Use It Up Challenge

Image
I know I'm not the only one out there when I say, I have too much make up, or more to the point too many of one thing. I think I have like 7 foundations on the go and my face ain't big enough to use 'em all at once! So today as I was rummaging through my over stocked makeup bag looking for a mascara to use (I have 5 in there) I decided something has to change, I've got to economise! Having all these products open/in use at the same time means I'm not actually using anything up and I have bottles and tubes just taking up storage space, and I don't use half of it for weeks/months at a time! Not so good if you stick to use in 6 months labels, I don't, I know how shockingly awful! So I've set myself a challenge. I picked out one foundation, one mascara, one blusher, one eyeliner...you get the jist. One of each "essential" product and gave my self a choice of 3 lipsticks and an eyeshadow pallet to keep in my makeup bag and use up! Each selection is ...

Happy February! Sorry for the lack of post's recently, I launched a new blog  JENI WREN  all about my birding exploits and have been spending most of my days off watching anime and drawing recently, so again sorry for the neglect, but I'm back and as motivated as ever!

The Hair Diaries | Quitting...

So just over a month ago I went no poo. I was so excited to try this, looking forward to long, healthy locks and reducing my chemical footprint on the eco system and less chemical intake into my body. I thought I could do it, how hard could it be not to use shampoo and have dirty hair for longer than it was clean. I'll tell you, hard. I quit no poo. I'm sorry I just had too! I so badly wanted this to work for me. I had done so much research, joined groups, bought special brushes, tea bags for rinses, raw honey, bentonite caly. But I just couldn't deal. It was taking me so much longer to wash my hair, making sure I got my scalp clean, spraying in my ACV rinse, washing everything out super duper well. I would have one maybe 2 good hair days a week and the rest of the time I had to have my hair scraped back in a high bun hiding my hideous mane. I was also OBSESSED ! I mean all I did was think about my hair. Check the facebook page continuously, experiment to no avail. It was i...

Review | Roots by Lush

Image
Finally, here is my review of the Roots hair treatment mask that I've been meaning to post for months! I've long since finished the pot and when I took my photo's I was down to the last two uses I think! Enjoy! Information Brand | Lush Product | Roots Hair Treatment Size | 225g Price | £10.25 Made in | UK Would I re-purchase | Yes! ^Ingredients List^ I have always been a lover of hair mask, especially ones that smell good, and this smells amazing! Its so minty and fresh with a hint of grapefruit. I like to reserve this as a special treat for bath times :) The directions say to use on dry hair and massage into the scalp for 15 to 20 minutes but I found that this didn't work particularly well for me it just felt all snaggy and horrible. So I decided to try it on wet hair before shampooing and it worked so much better. It has such a cooling fresh feeling on the scalp. I like to massage it in for about 5 to 10 minutes then leave it in for another 10 before soaking it out, f...
