My Dry Shampoo Recommendations!


If there's one product I love the most, it's dry shampoo. It's the perfect product in times of need and there is such a variety, so there is one to suit everyone. I'm sure most of you know about these brands and products and the majority of you will own one!

My favourite brand for dry shampoo is Batiste. It's an affordable drugstore dry shampoo and there is so many available. Also, they're not hard to find and they're probably local to you.  Then, Ruth Crilly from YouTube brought out her own dry shampoo brand and I've been loving it! Maybe even more than Batiste...

Her brand is called CO Lab and she has a range of bottles, all named after cities. I bought the RIO one, which is a tropical fragrance as RIO is one of my favourite places in the world! I am yet to try any of her other products from this collection.

My two favourite Batiste dry shampoos are Tropical and Blush. These scents are, personally, the nicest and I haven't tried many others. When using this product, you can get some white leftover residue so spray it from a distance into the roots and use your fingers to rub through the scalp.

Both of these brands give amazing volume to the hair and leave it feeling refreshed. If you have any other dry shampoo recommendations, comment below as I love trying new ones out!

TRESemme As A Brand!


I've always loved TRESemme as a brand, they have amazing products and are usually very affordable. They can be found in local drugstores like Boots or Superdrug. I've also seen many hairdressers use this brand alot. 

One of my favourite products from this brand is the Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray. This hairspray is amazing at holding your hair in place all night and doesn't make it go too crispy as some do.  I have quite a big bottle of this and it will last you such a long time! Use this for nights out partying, dinner dates or even through the day if you have a beautiful up-do. Anyone can use this and I'm sure it'll work the same for everyone.

My other favourite product from this brand is the Heat Defence Styling Spray. This is a heat protect spray and is probably my all time favourite one to use along with the John Freida one. I think this is a necessity for anyone who uses heat on their hair quite often. As someone who straightens their hair everyday, I need one of these nearby at all times. This is quite a fat and big bottle too so it will last a long time and you don't need to be constantly buying new ones. 

If you haven't tried anything from this brand before, you need to head out and buy something, maybe even one of these products that I mentioned. Let me know in the comments what your favourite TRESemme product is!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas!

It's coming up to Mother's Day! The one day of the year you can treat your mum without any excuse and pamper her to bits! It's also one time where most people. like me, have to idea what to get them! I'm really bad at buying my mum presents for Mother's Day as I have no idea what to buy most years. Here are some little ideas for gifts you can buy!

1. Perfume


If you know what you're mothers favourite perfume is, then buy her some! Or just some she might like. It's a common present but I think it's an easy but nice one to get. It makes it alot easier if you know what scents she likes too.

2. Jewellery


Get her some jewellery! I think jewellery is such a beautiful and sentimental present and you can't really go wrong. It can be gold, silver or bronze and can range between necklaces, earrings or rings. I'm sure most mothers wear jewellery so this is a lovely gift idea.

3. Skincare


Your mum may not be into the beauty side of things but maybe she likes skincare. If she does, it would make a nice present and she'd probably love it! Take note of what products she likes and what brands, see what she's running out of and maybe experiment a little by getting her a few of your recommendations!

4. Haircare


If she doesn't like beauty or skincare, she might be interested in haircare! Have a look at what she already owns, see what she is into and think outside of the box. There are so many hair products and brands out there, so pick wisely!

Philip Kingsley!

Hey everyone!



I'm going to be reviewing a sample product that I got in the Glamour Party Beauty Box. I have a blog post on that HERE.

I tried this out this morning and thought I would tell you all my opinion on it. I've never heard of Philip Kingsley as a brand before so I was interested to try this out. I found this to be an amazing product and I'm glad I got to try out a sample. I hope to purchase the full thing.

It also smells amazing, which is a bonus with hair products. The bad thing is, the samples are so small so I only got one use out of it.

I still recommend this to everyone and if you're looking for a new shampoo and conditioner, go for this one!

The Best Dry Shampoo In The World!

Hey everyone!

I'm doing this post a little late but for Christmas I got the new Co-Lab dry shampoo. Let me just say, oh my gosh! It's absolutely amazing! I can't even rave enough about this product.


They come in loads of different scents and they're called different cities, I got the Rio one but there is also ones like New York etc.

I usually use Batiste but this is so much better! I tell you now. This leaves no white residue on you're hair that makes you look grey!

It smells amazing, the packaging is so attracting and beautiful and overall it's such a perfect product and I will definitely be buying it myself soon when I run out. 

This is amazing at giving your hair the 'out of shower' clean feeling and it also leaves your hair nice and silky smooth, which you don't always get with a dry shampoo. 

This is definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Hair Care Products! (Updated)

Hello bloggers!

 
I'm just going to take you through some of the hair products that I have and love. This is an updated blog post as I have done this before but ages ago. Hopefully this helps some of you with reviews or will give you ideas on what to buy! Enjoy!

 
The shampoo I use is the TRESemme Colour Fade Protection Shampoo. I use this because I dye my hair a lot and I find it really helps to stop fading and protects my hair. It also makes it smell amazing and feel so silky.
 
 
This is the TRESemme Colour Fade Protection Condition which goes with the shampoo above and it's as amazing as the shampoo. I got these in a twin value pack.

 
This is the Insette Clubbers Hairspray. This is nearly finished but it was a great hairspray that really kept my hair in place all day.

 
This is the Professional Touch Salon Hairspray and is basically the same as the one above.

 
This is the Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray and I love this so much. This is a great product and I love the brand too.

 
This is the VO5 heat protect styling spray. This is a great product as it protects from really high heats. Also I love how it has a nozzle which is so handy but not very travel friendly.
 
 
This is the Girlz Only Dry Shampoo and it's one of my favourites. It's a really cheap brand from a drugstore but it's very good for the price.

 
This is the Avon Advance Techniques Firm Hold Hair Spray and this is actually finished but it was a really good product which I will hopefully be repurchasing.

 
This is the Sinful Moments Dry Shampoo and it's my all time favourite to use. I love it and I buy it from Superdrug.

 
This is the Killer Volume Volumising Dry Shampoo and it's really good to use if you're going on a night out and you are styling your hair.

 
This is the Avon Advance Techniques Styling Heat Protect Spray and this is one of my favourite heat protect sprays. It's also more travel friendly than the VO5 one and it's pretty compact.

 
This is the Style Expertise Anti-Frizz Serum and this is a lifesaver. It's so good and really tames down my frizz after a shower.

 
This is the Hask Argan Oil From Morocco and it's so good. This is a recent purchase and I haven't used it much but it really makes my hair smooth and smell amazing.
 
 
❤ What's your favourite hair product? ❤
 
Lots of love,
Vikki x

June Favourites!

Hello bloggers!

Seeing as it's a few days into July now, I thought I better do my June favourites! I didn't do a May one but I did an April one, you can check that out here - April Favourites
This is going to consist of some beauty products, hair products, a tv show, a human favourite and maybe a book favourite. A whole range! I hope this gives you some ideas and tips as well and I hope you like it. Please leave a comment on a blog post you'd like me to do next. Enjoy!


My first beauty favourite has been my kabuki brush.

Now I love this for applying my pressed powder to set my makeup. It's a cute little handy brush that is so soft and fluffy and it's very compact so good for travelling. You can basically get one of there anywhere. I got this in Primark for about £1.
 
 
My second beauty favourite has been my Miss Sporty So Matte Foundation.



This was just a cheap buy that I bought a while ago but it's a great shade for my skin tone. I got this in the shade Ivory and it matches so well! I'm very pale so it's usually hard to get a foundation that matches perfectly but apart from the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, this is the closest I've gotten! I got this in Superdrug for about £4.99 I think.
 
 

The next beauty favourite I have is my ColourTrend Lipstick
 

This is a very summery bright pink colour and that's why I love it. It basically goes with any makeup look that's not too heavy on the eyes. I have this in the shade Gone Pink and I got it from AVON for about £3 I think, I can't really remember. I love my lipsticks but this is probably my favourite one!



 The 4th beauty favourite is my MUA Bronzer
 
 
 
 This isn't too dark of a bronzer which is good for me because as I said, I'm very pale. I always have to look for a good bronzer that compliments my skin tone and when I wear it, I never put much on. I also want to invest in the Body Shop Honey Bronzer as it looks like a great pale shade but right now, this is a great one that I love using. I also got this in Superdrug for about £2.
 
 
The final beauty favourite is my Naked 3 Palette!


 
 This is one of my favourite beauty products ever! I don't always wear eyeshadow but this has made it 10x better! I'm obsessed with this! The thing is, I would never pay the original price for it as I find it way to expensive so I got it off amazon for a way cheaper price. My most used shades are 'Strange' for highlighting my brow bone, Dust, Burnout, Buzz, Nooner and Trick. I also use Factory for my eyebrows a lot with an angled brush.
 
 
 Moving on from the beauty section, my next favourite has been the Secret Fantasy Star Body Mist.
 
 
 This is just a lovely shimmery mist you can always carry with you in your handbag. It's compact and really handy to have. It also smells delicious! I love this and I use it all the time. I got this from AVON for a few pounds. Bargain.
 
 
My next favourite is my Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray.
 


I love this! I've wanted a Sea Salt Spray for ages and I finally bought this one and I'm loving it! I spray a bit of this on damp hair after a shower. The only thing I don't like is on the packaging, they put a massive barcode at the front! This really bugs me! I got this in Boots for £4.99
 
 
The next favourite is another hair favourite and it's the Style Expertise Smooth Taming Anti-Frizz Serum 04.
 


This is quite a small compact bottle but it does go a long way. Personally, this is the best thing I've ever bought! I get such frizzy hair after a shower and applying this does a world of good! You just take a small few squirts onto your fingers and run it through your damp hair. As soon as you put it on you can tell a massive difference and then when you dry your hair, it's literally silky smooth! This is amazing and I'm so so happy with it! I got this in Superdrug for £3.
 
 
The next favourite is a skin favourite and it's the Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser.
 
 
This is also another amazing product! I usually buy Simple products but this time I went for a Garnier product. It's a moisturiser for Normal to Dry Skin and it really works well! It's a small bottle but still goes far. It's not one of them products where when you put it on, it goes all sticky and you have to wait ages for it to dry. It sinks into your skin straight away and leaves it feeling silky soft. I got this in Tesco for £2
 
 
The next favourite is a jewellery product and it's my favourite necklace at the moment.
 
 
 
 
 
This is such a beautiful necklace and I love it. It goes with most of my closet and it's a lovely shiny gold colour. I can't get over how pretty it looks! As you can see from the second picture, it has bits where it points out and goes back down again. This makes it look even more amazing. I haven't yet bought a necklace as good as this. I got this in Primark for £3
 
 
The next favourite is a book and it's Dear John by my favourite author, Nicholas Sparks.
 


Most of you have probably watched the film and aren't much of a reader so didn't read the book! Well I highly suggest you do because it's so good and catching! You'll be sucked in straight away, just like I was. Nicholas Sparks is my favourite author and most of his books are now movies but I prefer to read the book first as I always get an imagination of what it's like in reality. This is a lovely romantic book and I highly recommend you buy it.
 
 
 So my second last favourite is my TV show favourite and it's Suits!
 
This is such an amazing show! It's an American drama show and it's on Netflix. Tanya Burr recommended this and I was quickly hooked when I started watching it. It has a great story line and each character is different! It's a very law related show so if you like that then I suggest you watch it! The main characters are Gabriel Macht who plays Harvey Specter and Patrick J Adams who plays Mike Ross. I am currently on Season 3 and I'm watching episodes back to back!
 
 
 The final June favourite I have is a human favourite and it's Meghan Markle!
 
 
She plays Rachel Zane in Suits and that's how I found out about her! She is beautiful and I love her personality. She is an American fashion model, spokesmodel, and actress. She is truly beautiful and an amazing actress and I've been obsessed with her lately! (not in a creepy way!) You should seriously check her out!
 
 
Well I hope you enjoyed this REALLY long blog post that literally took me about 2 hours to write! Look out for a new post coming soon!
 
Lots of love,
Vikki x
