Maybeline Baby lips





Hey there guy's,

Firstly, I must apologise for not posting last week. The time, just ran away from me. & secondly how is it October already?

Now I don't know about you guys, but I'm a big fan of lip balm. As you may, or may not be, able to tell from some of my previous post's.
I think this is mainly because I do, suffer from dry lips. Especially in the winter, & I hate it. Because, I do tend to suffer from slight dryness. Unless I'm going out, out. . . I tend to steer clear of lip glosses. & when I do tend to choose lip shades, I  always seem to sway towards subtle shades, on offer.  
 So when I saw that Maybeline, had brought out a lip balm range. With a tint in it, none the less. It seemed to me, to be the best of both worlds.
In this range, there are 6 lip balms in total.  All of which, claim to give your lip's 8 hours of hydration. For "baby soft lips" 
The Hydrate, Intense Care, & Mint Fresh, lip balms, all contain SPF 20, which is good, if you live in a sunny climate. Or happen to be going on your travels, sometime soon. Burnt lips are defiantly a no, no, in the holiday photo album! However these 3 balms do not contain a tint to them. 
The other 3 lip balms in this range, are: Cherry Me, Pink Punch, & Peach Kisses. Which all have, a nicely pigmented tint to them. 
 The 2 balms, which I have chosen to purchase, were Pink Punch & Peach Kisses. 
They have great pigmentation for a lip balm. With a wonderful shine to them. They stay put, not making you feel like you need to keep re-applying every five minutes. My lips feel hydrated after use, & if like me, you hate the sticky quality, that most lip glosses leave behind, these babies are for you. 
 And lastly, they all smell amazing too. The current retail price, for these balms are: £2.99 each. I know Boots & Superdrug have them all, in store on a 3 for 2 offer right now, who could say no!

Avon Daily Shine. Leave-In Conditioner

 
             

Hey Guy's,


Just a quick post today. As the sun is shining & it's a waste to spend it cooped up indoors.

I recently ran out of one of my hair care staples, leave-in conditioner!
(Panic stations, I can tell you that!) 
Because I have quite thick, but fine hair. I tend to use leave-in conditioner as a detangler really. In the hope, that it will leave my hair soft & hopefully tame some of the fizz. 
By a stroke of luck, I bumped into a friend who happens to sell Avon. We got to talking, & she said she had some in the back of her car.
& the kind bean, that she is let me have a bottle to try for £1, bargain! 
I went home & tried it out immediately. I had my reservations at first. As I'm used to a creamy texture, type of conditioner. Whereas this one, was a little runnier, than the ones I am used to. 
I applied a small amount as you usually do. Just below my ears & at the ends of my hair.
& let me tell you. After application, I let my hair air-dry as usual. This leave-in conditioner is bloody marvellous! 
It worked well as a detangler while my hair was wet. After my hair had dried. It left my hair feeling super soft, & really manageable. & at a retail price of £1.50. I'm defiantly not complaining.
