L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

Good afternoon everyone and my good god is my flu kicking my arse! I just cannot seem to shift it! But whats made me feel loads better is purchasing these two beauties. 

Ever since I was 13 I have been dying my hair. Pink being the first colour. you name the hairstyle I've had it 

• Mohawk 
• Dreadlocks
• Shaved & undercut
• Blue,green,orange,red,pink
• Black,blonde,bleached,pastel
• And that terrible emo haircut everyone lusted after.

Yep my hair has gone through some rough times, and dyed more times than I've had dinners. But being a natural blonde.My hair is delicate and has been damaged so badly. My hair is dry, coarse and super frizzy ( and naturally curly)

So I always find it super hard to find good hair products on the cheap. Nothing ever works for me.

I picked these two up in Dunnes on half price special (2.59 each). I was waiting for a huge let down but surprisingly this stuff is alright!

Especially made for Dry to Very Dry hair, these babies are enfused with 6 micro flower oils.And not to mention they smell AMAZING! 

I found after the first use it didn't do much to my hair, but after the 2nd/3rd use I could really feel a change. 

My hair feels less frizzy, smoother and smells amazing.

It doesn't give that much of a shine off your hair but it certainly does make it feel alot healthier and manageable.

I give this product 6/10

Do you have any hair products for dry hair that you find work?

**BARGAIN VANITY @ DUNNES**

Hello again! Hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of their Summer holidays and making the most out of the lovely weather we've been having! I certainly have, but oh my was it a very strange day yesterday. It started off by getting a totally random MMR shot (measles,mumps and rubella) Which I have NEVER had! (yikes) Also..not to mention, I am scared to death of needles.So that was an ordeal in itself! I then found 50 quid on the floor and went and bought very pretty things, after all..I totally deserved it ;)

So I walked into Dunnes Stores in Citywest, and couldn't believe my eyes when I seen these gorgeous plates and bowls that I've wanted since forever..HALF PRICE!

Look how beautiful they are!

These stunningly retro and fabulously pastel plates are only E2.50 and these cutie pie bowls are only E2.00!

I grabbed them as quick as I could, And I got the last muffin with cherry on top plate (score!)

These would look just gorgeous on anyones desk/vanity! The detail is so pretty!

These little bowls & plates are perfect for holding lipstick,bobbipins,hairclips,rings,brushes,eyeshaddows..Basically anything will look pretty amazing in these badboys!

My favourite part about these bowls is the detail! I LOVE it! Just like a melting icecream, so pretty! 

So if you're looking to give your vanity a bit of a makeover, pop down to Dunnes and turn your boring old vanity into a glorious 1950's pastel haven!

My June wishlist

Before I start it has come to my attention that nearly all of my pictures on my blog are missing!! I will fix this problem ASAP! 

Now for my June wishlist! my wishlist is totally endless, like most girls! But these are my most wanted things this June!Most, unfortunately I will be unable to obtain but, nevertheless, a girl can dream....

First of all, I have this gorgeous 50's pastel midi skirt from PENNEYS!! I nearly died when I laid eyes upon it, and i instantly regret not grabbing it there and then! Its perfect! I am legit so annoyed at myself for not picking it up as it seemed there were only a handful left :'( And for only 13 EURO its perfect for those long summer days!And also seems to be a blogger favourite at the moment!

Next I have This beautiful Pastel pink River island bag, at 40EURO, its a tad bit of a dream for me at the moment, but it is absolutely beautiful, very summery, perfect size for daytime and nighttime! Also available in a gorgeous lilac! to view click here!

Obviously, like nearly everyone else in the entire world, I am in love with the MAC osbournes collection, absolutely everything about it screams 'buy me' The one that sticks out most to me is Kelly's Dodgy Girl Lipstick! Wonderfully summery, with a retro twist! This being a Limited Edition collection, these babies won't stick around for long! This seems to cost around 21.50EURO...well worth the money

Another Limited Edition MAC collection in my eyesight is by Pedro Lourenco. I adore the look of everything this collection has to offer, especially the deep red lipsticks! This Pallette shouts out at me for so many reasons! The natural colours in this look so sexy and light, perfect for summery nights! Definitely a huuuuge want for me!

Finally, I don't know how long I've wanted this for, it feels like I've wanted this for my entire life, but this is Red Velvet by Limecrime from their Velvetines collection.This dream formula, goes on wet and dries completely matte! It looks astounding on the lips, super pigmented and rich. This has been on my wishlist for eons! at 21EURO a pop its a tad pricey but I really do think EVERY girl needs a Limecrime Velvetines in their lives! Available in 6 different colours, Velvetines has a lot to offer, and lets not forget about this darling packaging! With a new hyper pink Velvetines coming out soon, you better keep an eye out, cause these bad boys sell fast!Click here to see more Velvetines!
