Mmmm.. gorgeous!

So, thats a lot of photos!

I went to Stamford today, which is like 12 minutes away from me and they have a few shops there like Wilko, M&S, Superdrug, Savers, Boots etc so we just walk the dog there for the meadows and I had some money to spend so we walked up to the shops. Its only a small little place - google?! - but I enjoy it more than Peterborough.. where I live.

So ill guide you through what I bought and then later on when I use the things ill review them a little bit more.

• Start off in the list order. I bought myself a necklace as I dont have many, I have more earrings than necklaces and I thought this was super pretty! Its a bronzy gold color and is on a thin chain. Its got some pretty hearts hanging off an O shape and these are all different patterns. This would go with pretty much everything and for £2 rather than £5 i thought it was a bargain! I got this from Superdrug!
• I then bought a flannel, this is an essential because I needed a new one, they need changing every now and again! So this was about 33p from Wilko, I dont really mind about the cheap price tag, it does its job haha! I got this in a Fushia pink, its lovely & soft.
• From Savers, for £1, I got the new Charlie spray, this is in 'Enchant' the bottle design drew me in and I think its really pretty with the pastel blue color. Ive sprayed this a little bit to smell it, but Ill do a separate review on this. Its in its normal bottle ml and says it contains 'honeysuckle, wild apple and coconut'.
• I then got myself a new shampoo to try out seeing as my Garnier Fructis shampoo has run out, review here-  http://resterbellex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/okay-so-this-is-bit-of-different-post-i.html - plus, I hate buildup so I love to change. This is Lychee & Coconut. Well, Ill review this in a new post but.. I have no idea what Lychee is, haha. I love coconut at the moment, so I bought this. £1 from Savers.
• Everytime I go shopping/out I always pick up a nail polish! I have a reasonably large collection so I think a sortout is in order! This is another NYC nail polish, Ive never bothered with them before but I have 3 now and I love NYC! This is in OhSohoSweet and is a very plain nude color that ive been wanting for a while so for £2, you cant complain! Ill also review this soon!

So, I got quite a lot, I wonder if you've tried any of these?

Lots of love..

July Favourites

My July favourites, this months gone super fast!

The No7 primer swatch.

Great for the price..

The first left color..

..second one left - the last one..

Hello! ..again!
So this post is about my July favourites. I recorded this video and re-recorded this video on YouTube earlier in the week, so the video is done but I thought I would add a post to here telling you all my favourites too. I like to add to both.
My July faves consist of things I use in summer or have recently been using.
My summer faves consist of;

• LA colors palette. This is from Beauty Base in Westfield-Shepards Bush. It was 98p I think, but dont take my word for it.. I got it a while back! As you can see from the swatches, its really pigmented and for near £1 people might look and think 'its cheap, its rubbish' but looking at the swatches, I hope its changed your mind because although its cheap, its still really good. I would use this a lot in the sunny/warm weather because its bronzy shades would really suit the sun and they're very shimmery so its a bonus. It come with an applicator which really pacts on the color. Then, using a blending brush, you could really achieve a nice summery, daytime, smoky look using light/dark bronzes.
• My next fave is the Cats Eyes Colossal mascara from Maybelline. I love this and love the applicator. As I said on my YouTube video, it really curls the lashes without an eyelash curler (which Ive never used and never plan to). Its lasted a long while, had it since Christmas 2011. I think its great for the summer because it defines eyes and sets fast so its not liquid form when you're out and about. I love the packaging. I use this alot and its always applied on me so I would totally buy again.. I love all Maybelline mascaras. This was about £8.
• No7 shine free primer is the next one. Im mixed opinioned on this because its good, keeps me matte for like 30 mins and then i get oily, I prefer to use loose powder now, but I might try using loose powder with this as I havent yet. I like this, thats why its in my faves but sometimes it can leave white lines if it not blended enough. This can happen when it dries on the face too. Id only get this again if I got the no7 vouchers, like how I purchased it before. Its good for summer as it should keep most people matt and not oily skinned. Its £11 to buy.
• Next is Next's Just Pink lipbalm. Ive used half of this since Christmas 2012, an old friend got me it and I really like it. It came with the rollerball Just Pink perfume and it smells lovely. I dont know how much this is and should be in there winter time, unless they stock it all year. Its good to keep lips moist and is a good alternative to heavy lipstick or a thick lipgloss.
• Ive already reviewed the So...? Brit spray before so, Im not really going to go on about it because its a bit boring to keep repeating. But, I love this because its good for out-and-about to keep fresh. Its also really fresh&fruity and i would buy it again! £1 from Boots, Tesco etc.
• Garnier Fructis shampoo..mm! This is great. I got this a few weeks back and use it for every wash. It keeps my hair going until it gets oily (which is really fast, every other day) and it smells a bit plain..like apples.. but its really good and keeps hair shiny so Im not moaning about the smell! It didnt make my hair glossy or anything but it did make straightening easy, seeing as this takes a while.. Id probably buy this again, after a few weeks. (I dont like buildup!)
• Last one.. best till last! I love this! If I didnt like saving things and keeping things for ages, this would be gone within 2 weeks! Its amazing, the smells amazing, the consistency is amazing.. just.. amazing! Beauty Base is where I got it, I think it was 98p and I said this on Youtube but looking back, I think it was £1.75.. I really cant remember. But, under running water it foams up so fast and you can smell it really well too. Its good as a shower gel or just to apply to skin in the bath. You can smell it afterwards on your skin too, I just LOVE the coconut smell of it! Definately going to buy this again. (Daaaaaad! *angel face*)

So yeah, they're my July favourites and I cant believe how fast this year is going. Only seems like last month it was snowing and I was getting the Christmas tree ready! I feel so old haha!

What things did you like in July?! Post below if you like, id love to know!

Lots of love..

A Week Of Hair Repair - By Mum!

A week of hair repair – If you are a person that has had highlights and after two days of being to the hairdresser you feel that you hair is really dry and feels brittle, Mum recommends Andrew Bartons ‘Blondes have more fun’ hair repair sachet. This is available from ASDA for £1 or in other stores in a bigger amount. For those who just want to try it out first like Mum did, then we recommend the sachet first. Mum says 100% that she would buy this again even in a bigger amount for full price. Mum says in between the hair repair once a week sachet she recommends using VO5 Give me moisture conditioner with any shampoo you choose. Hair will feel restored. At the end of the week or for a special night out, Mum used 3 minute Aussi hair repair sachet £1 from boots with your own shampoo to fully restore hair. Mums hair is now back to full condition by just spending £3 on hair correction. This is a good way to restore hair after heat or dye or bleach.  Mum prefers Andrew Barton more than the Aussie one because it left her hair feeling salon style and a lot lighter!

Vitamin C Powder Review

Okay so.. I read online that using Vitamin C powder strips hairdye, especially red. So, I tried it because I have had my hair dyed red since this time last year and its kind of fading now into a light red/ginger/light brown color. I miss my natural hair and would really like to go back to it. So, I tried using this and im just going to say what I did, what it turned out like etc. 
I started off by putting the whole (yes the whole) pot of powder into a pot with the same amount of shampoo, so it was half and half. I used an old pot, like a plastic pot and got myself a spoon to mix the two products together. You can use any shampoo you want, maybe using a moisture shampoo that keeps hair smooth, this powder can dry it out. I then applied it to my hair like I would any shampoo, although it feels really grainy like a scrub! I got a carrier bag, like a Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury one etc and put it on my head and tied it to the back. Making sure ALL hair was covered.
I waited an hour to let it soak, and rinsed it out. I appled conditioner after and rinsed that out.
The outcome - Well.. nothing happened. It went a lighter color slightly, but nothing actually happened, there was no major difference and I applied two of these 50 gram pots on my hair. I wont be doing this again and I dont really recommend it..

Okay, so, this is a bit of a different post!
I thought id include hair products im using at the moment into my blog, because, its a beauty blog after all! 
I dont use many hair products like sprays, mousses etc, I just use Shampoo's a lot, obviously.
Im not a lover of conditioner, it makes my hair greasy and doesnt wash out properly, so I wont review the conditioner on this, just the shampoo.
So, the product im using at the moment is Garnier Fructis Color Last shampoo. My hair is colored, Red, so I decided to use this to keep my hair in good condition because coloring your hair can be a bit of a hassle. 
It smells a lot like watermelon, its lovely! Its a very medium based product, not too thick which i like because that thick serum in shampoos always leaves my hair sticky & thick. 
I apply it on adding just a medium round sized amount, it lathers well and I leave it on about a minute. Then, I use my shower head to wash it out, I can feel it leaving my hair and as I wash it out, I feel it leaving my hair smooth & shiny. It washes out really well and most shampoo's dont in my hair, so I like this!
The only problem is that, it makes my hair greasy in about 2 days..
All in all, I like it!
