Beauty Wishlist

Hey beaut's!

It's that time again... I know, I know, I'm wishlist obsessed at the moment but theres always so many makeup/beauty bits that I want, plus the fact that I'm a makeup and beauty addict doesn't help ha ha! Firstly the new Real Techniques Sculpting Set is at the top of my wishlist, I'm a huge Real Techniques fan so as soon as they launch new brushes in there original line I have to buy them, I'm really interested in the Sculpting Set because it looks like a great set of brushes to contour with and I imagine they will be so easy to use. Next I really want to try the Infallible Foundation from L'Oreal and the Lumi Magique Primer also from L'Oreal, I'm forever looking for the ultimate foundation/primer duo but of course on a budget and I keep hearing good things about these two so I definitely want to buy them soon. Unfortunately the other day my Benefit Roller Lash sample that I got in Elle magazine ran out, I've really been enjoying that mascara so I think I'm going to splurge and treat myself to the full size version. I hope you like the things on my wishlist beaut's, please let me know if you have any of them too.

Cute Gift Idea's from Flamingo Gift's!

Hey beaut's!

Today I have a couple of cute gifts idea's to share with you all, all from the fantastic Flamingo Gifts! Personally I love the website and got some bits from them last year which where fantastic, the site stock's a varied and unique range of gifts to suit everyone and all occasions. From kitsch to traditional, from adults to children, they have everything your heart desires. So if you have any friends or family's birthday's coming up then Flamingo Gift's have got you covered, but be aware it's very easy to treat yourself whilst browsing the website he he. 

 Moomin Compact Mirror* £6.99

The first thing that caught my eye on the Flamingo Gifts website was their selection of Moomin goodies, as well as the compact mirror they have purses, shopper bags and even birthday cards to choose from and they are all so cute! I remember when I was little I would wake up early on the weekends and watch all the children's TV shows on my little TV in my bedroom and Moomins was one of the programmes I loved, so every time is use this now it really has a nostalgic effect on me and reminds me of when I was little he he.

Wu & Wu Green Happy Deer Wash Bag* £18.69

Oh my goodness, how amazingly cute is the design of this wash bag, it's just so pretty! Gorgeousness aside, the wash bag itself is so well made and the quality is amazing, even the zipper feels really expensive and robust and theres plenty of room inside for all your beauty essentials and makeup! The Wu & Wu range again features heavily on the Flamingo Gifts website, there so many gorgeous things to choose from and trust me you'll want it all he he. 

Ted Baker Opulent Bloom A5 Notebook* £8.49

Being a blogger I go through note books like nobody's business, I'm always writing down blog post ideas and making rough notes about products I'm reviewing so when I saw that Flamingo Gifts had a range of Ted Baker stationary I just knew I had to get in on the action he he. This 'Opulent Bloom' notebook is just so pretty, I love how the flowers against the black backdrop really pop out and the quirky sayings throughout the notebook are so cute, on the first page your met with 'Once Upon A Time' and on the last page it's says 'Happily Ever After' it's just so lovely! The A5 size is a really good size, it's not too big nore too small and fit's perfectly in my handbag for any on the go jotting, arrhhh I love this notebook so much and now I'm lusting after more Ted Baker stationary.

Sesame Street Elmo Car Air Freshener* £1.99
And finally I couldn't resist this Sesame Street, Elmo Car Air Freshener, you've got to love little Elmo rocking around the car as you move hehe, it's just so cute and smells pretty amazing too! And again it really reminds me of my childhood so much!

 Have you bought anything from the Flamingo Gifts website recently beaut's?? I'd love to know!!

Phil Smith Be Gorgeous 'BIG IT UP' Review

Hey beaut's!

When it comes to my hair I'm always lusting after that big and bouncy look, thats' why I style may hair curly or wavy most of the time but even then I'm left wanting more sometimes, until now.... 

I've recently been road testing Phil Smith's Be Gorgeous “BIG IT UP!” Shampoo* and Conditioner* and I've been obsessed with the results that this combination leaves. Firstly I love the packaging, it's bigger than your average  bottle of shampoo and conditioner and looks so eye cathcing and professional, kind of like what you would see in a hair salon. The scent it also very salon like, it reminds me of that smell when you first walk into the hairdressers and all you can smell is gorgeous products being used, it's so nice and lingers on your hair afterwards too. 

As I said before the “BIG IT UP!” (with soy proteins) range is targeted towards getting weightless body, bounce and volume into your hair so it would work perfectly for anyone with fine, flat, fly-away hair or you can use it just to perk your hair up if your feeling like it needs abit of oomph! The shampoo was really nice to use, it lathered up a nice amount but not to much which I like as I'm the sort of gal that always gets the soap suds in my eyes but this didn't happen to me with the Big It Up Shampoo, woohoo! The conditioner felt extremely creamy, luxurious and moisturising and got rid of any tangles that I may have got whilst washing my hair. After using this gorgeous combo my hair feels so soft, silky and moisturised but with a real natural bounce to it and lots of volume, and even the day after washing my hair it still has tonnes of volume, it was still manageable and didn't fall flat which I think is amazing!

My thoughts on the Volume Boosting Shampoo:
Moisturising
Professional, eye catching packaging
Smells like salon products, and the scent lingers after washing
Doesn’t over lather/was easy to rinse out
Adds heaps of volume
Worth the money
My thoughts on the Volume Boosting Conditioner:
Light, creamy consistency
Professional packaging
Moisturising
Easy to wash out
No tangles
Smells amazing
A winning combo worth the money

Overall I'm super happy at how the “BIG IT UP” Shampoo and Conditioner performed and I cant quite believe I've never tried the range before. It gives ultimate volume, glossiness, thickness and bounce and is easy to use, they are definetly a winning combination. It also gives you complete control of your hair and is so manageable. You can’t go wrong!

You can pick up the entire Phil Smith Range from Sainsburys, prices start from £3.50.
