Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment Primer

Hey beaut's!

If you follow me on Instgram you may have seen that I've recently had my long locks cut off to a new shorter doo, dont get me wrong I loved my long hair and I really do miss it but after years of using curlers, straighters, blow drying, iregular trims and general neglect it meant that the condition of my hair was... well it was like straw that was just snapping if im honest so most of it had to go! Since my hairs had the chop it feels and looks so much healthier so now I've made a little pact with myself to really look after my hair, and thats where American brand Redken comes in with their new Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment Primer!

The Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment* is a cream primer for your hair, I personally love the idea of a hair primer, I mean we all use primers on our faces so why not on our hair? This creamy primer is designed for all hair types, especially dry, thick or coarse and works to strengthen and shield hair from breakage, speeds up drying time, provides heat protection up to 230°C and delivers twenty-four hour volume without extra weight, sounds amazing right!

I've been using this hair primer for just over 2 weeks now and I have to say I love the results, all I do is rub a couple of pumps of the primer through my damp hair and then blow dry as normal and afterwards im left with really shiny, silky smooth hair that super managable. My hair is usually a pain to style when it's freshly washed because it's always too soft to do anything with but when using the Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment I find I still get the soft, silky results but its super easy to manage and style, as well as feeling a lot healthier and my blow dry time really has been reduced too, I love this stuff!


You can find the Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment Primer HERE for £17.00.

April Love Me Beauty Box Review ♥

Hey beaut's!!!

You probably know by now that I love a good ole beauty box subscription, and recently whilst catching up on some blog reading I noticed a few reviews on the Love Me Beauty Box and as I loved the whole concept of the box I thought I'd give it a go. Love Me Beauty is a monthly subscription box (£10+ p&p) with a difference, unlike many beauty boxes that are full of surprise products that we may or may not like, Love Me Beauty allow 'us' their subscribers to choose between 3 menu's, with each menu's contents valuing £30+ and will contain between 4-5 products and will have 1 to 2 star products (full size) and 3 travel sized samples. However if you do like the element of surprise Love Me Beauty do have an option for a surprise box, and if any of the 3 menu's don't tickle your fancy on that particular month you can simply skip that months box, with no charge at all which I think is a fab idea.

So lets see what goodies I received inside my very first Love Me Beauty Box...

Neal & Wolf  Smoothing Blow-Dry Balm | Full Size 200ml | RRP £12.50

The first of my full size products is in the shape of a blow-dry balm from Neal & Wolf. The silk smoothing balm claims to put an end to tangles and frizz, whilst its hydrating wheat protein complex provides moisture, balance and manageability. It sounds pretty fab to me and is just what need as I blow dry my hair often and I'm always getting those frizzy fly aways. I've actually used Neal & Wolf products in the past and loved them so I've got pretty high hopes for this.

Models Own Nail Polish in Coral Reef | Full Size 14ml | RRP £5.00

I've always loved Models Own nail polishes as their formula and lasting ability is great and I just love this shade 'Coral Reef', like the name suggests it's a bright coral shade that will be amazing for the Summer months, ohhh I can just imagine it looking amazing against a tan too. 

Betty Hula Secret Wonder Oil Roller Ball | Full Size 10ml | RRP £6.50

Betty Hula isn't a brand that I'm familiar with and body oils usually aren't my thing at all, however I love the fact that this oil in particular has a handy roller ball applicator, it makes it so much easier to apply and is great for on the go when you need an emergency moister boost. I've only used the oil on my cuticles so far but it worked a treat so I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this.

Redken Colour Extend Conditioner | 25 ml sample |

 I've heard so many good things about Redken haircare and even though I don't have colour treated hair I'm pretty sure this little conditioner will work just as well on my hair, the ends of my hair need all the help they can get ha ha, the conditioner also smells amazing so I cant wait to see the results.

Hello Fresh £25 Gift Card

I was chuffed to bits when I saw this £25.00 voucher to spend on the Hello Fresh website because I absolutely love to cook, I love making things from scratch and I love food so it's win win for me ha ha. Hello Fresh is a unique service that delivers fresh, high quality ingredients to your door, along with chef created recipe cards that guide you along the way to making delicious meals. I cant wait to use my voucher and get cooking he he.

Overall I'm really pleased with what I received in my very first Love Me Beauty Box, I'm definitely going to keep subscribed for the next few months and see if the boxes continue to be as fab as this one. I valued of all my full size products and my Hello Fresh voucher and it came to £49.00 and that's without taking into consideration the value of my Redken sample, how amazing is that! If your new to beauty boxes I'd highly recommend giving Love Me Beauty a whirl as the concept is great and if you don't like it you can cancel your subscription free of charge at any time.

What beauty box do you get beaut's?? I'd love to know to know your thoughts on Love Me Beauty's concept, is it a yay or nay he he!!
