Glad Hair Day

So Saturday is traditionally the day of the week that I try new hair products, or dye my hair, or try new styles.

Today was no different. I happened upon some Soap & Glory small Shampoo and Conditioner in Boots earlier this week. It was 3 for 2 and I thought it would be good to pick up some smaller sizes to try.

As a side note, let me just say I love travel sized products. Seriously, I buy them all the time now because it means I to try something without worrying about spending too much and get to use it at the gym! Perfecto!

The good news is that I am looking forward to using these at the gym. It's weird, when I used them in the shower I was thinking "uh oh" and "my hair is feeling pretty traumatised". Sometimes conditioners make your hair feel amazing immediately, I'd say this does not but my hair definitely felt super clean.

Buuuut, the amazingness became apparent as I began to dry my hair. It dried in no time, smooth and super shiny. Me = happy happy. My ends were smooth and I therefore couldn't even bring myself to straighten it because it looked like the best blow dry I have ever had!

So love it. My hair looks and feels amazing and I get to use less heat than usual. Sorted. I mean, I had heard a girl I know saying that their hair range was good, but I must admit, I was doubtful. Especially as I am desperately trying to grow my hair at the moment so I'll be the first to admit it needs a good trim. I was wrong. It really is good and next time it will be the full size version for me.

What do you think ladies? Have any of you used this?

Vivo Foundation Update

Published on: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 by Dani B - 3 comments

Morning all. Hope you're having a good week! I'm tired already and not loving the cold front that's arrived.

Anyway, you may remember that a few weeks ago I provided you with my thoughts on some products from the Vivo range I had been sent.

My reactions were mixed and overall I came away thinking your get what you pay for.

That said, I was curious as to how the foundation would work because it seemed to have very good coverage.

Well I have since tried it properly and sadly I must say that it didn't live up to my expectations. The coverage wasn't actually as full as I had imagined and it provided almost a greasy finish. Furthermore, my skin felt like it couldn't breathe at all.

I'm sad to say that it wasn't very good at all and it's not something I would recommend.

I really do like Tesco and they have some fantastic products in their skincare ranges and Barbara Daly range. The jury is still out for me on the Vivo line but I am keeping an open mind having heard some wonderful things about their eyeshadows.

I guess it just depends on what you are looking for.
