♡ My Hair Care Routine │ 2016 ♡

My hair can be a full time job or that is how it seems some days! having natural curly hair (and I mean CURLY) finding products that help tame the beast can be hard, but lately I have hair products that seem to be helping me keep it under control. 

I mentioned these in my January Favourites, but I will say again that these have really helped thicken my hair, I have always had quiet thin hair, and I have always wanted my hair to be a little thicker, these have helped so much, it also gives your hair a little bit of texture, which makes it great if you are wanting a certain hair style.

A good heat protect spray is really important when looking after your hair, because you don't what to cook your hair do you? I have been using the VO5 spray for some years now, and I always repurchse it every time. I apply this to my hair before I use any heat on my hair.

 I use my Tangle Teezer when my hair is both wet and dry, that's the great thing about Tange Teezer is you can use it on both, as it doesn't damage your hair! 

It also doesn't pull at your hair, making you get less split ends. 

 

To style my hair I use my trusty ghds which I got about 2 years ago for my birthday, as my hair is naturally very curly, I like to straighten my hair to make it more controllable. However I have been trying to step away from using heat on my hair, to make it more healthy, so I have been embracing the natural curls!!

If I chose to style my hair a different way for example curling my hair with my ghds, I use some texture spray to make the curls a bit more beachy and then finish hairspray to make it stay in place all day! 
 

 Please excuse the silly 'selfie' but this my natural hair!!
(on a good day ;)! )

♡ January Favourites ♡

I found in January I used a lot of new products, and discovered some new favourites, so i thought share them.

1. Maybelline Lash Sensational

In a few posts back, I included this mascara in a haul, and it has quickly become one of my favourite everyday mascaras, I was a little sceptical at first, as I found the formula a little bit liquidy, but after a few uses you get used to it, I found this to be a cheaper alturnative to Roller Lash which I still love, but this is only around £7 which compared to £20 for Roller Lash is perfect if you want something a bit cheaper!

I love how easy it is to appeal, and the volume of my lashes after using it, are amazing, I found that my lashes look longer and curled, which is what is always good in a mascara. 

I got mine in 'Extra Black' which I didn't think would make a difference, as I just thought black is black right? but I can definitely notice that my lashes stand out a lot more, which makes them look so much better! 

2. Soap & Glory - Sexy Mother Pucker - Lip Gloss

I got this lip gloss in the Soap & Glory 'The whole She Bang' box, which has probaly been the best £25 I've ever spent! 

The lipgloss is a lovely light pink colour, which I wore everyday since trying it 2 weeks ago, at first I thought I was allergic as it made my lips tingle, which I later found it happens as it meant to make your lips look bigger, which I can't say I have really noticed, but I still love the colour which is in 'Rose & Shine'

 3. Maybelline - The Eye Eraser Concealer

This was also In my haul not long ago, I picked this because I heard some many good reviews, which I can all agree with.
I use this under my eyes, and it really helps get rid of dark circles, it is also easy to blend and stays in place all day! 

 4. Urban Decay - Naked Palette

I got this for Christmas, and it's the most beautiful thing ever! All the colours are so wearable, for both day and night, I have been loving wearing the colous 'Sidecar' and 'Smog' together, then I also love 'Half Baked' as I love golden eyes. There are so many different looks you can create to using this palette.

 5. L'Oreal - Elive Thickening - Shampoo & Conditioner

So my mum brought these randomly because they were on sale, but we have both fallen in love, at first I didn't think it would make a difference to my hair, but I have been using thoughtout most of Janurary and have definitely noticed a difference in the thinkness of my hair, and for someone who has thin hair I would highly recommend to others!

 6. Soap & Glory - Supercat Eye Liner This eye liner is my holy grail. I have never had an eye liner which appeals so easily. The tip also makes it easy to create a thin to thick line depending on the angle. It also really easy to do winged liner, which I am hopeless at, but I have found the eye liner tip makes it a lot easier.

 

 7. Tv Show - The 100 Many of my friends at college have told me to watch 'The 100' but I never got round to it, I thought I would finally give it go and I watched 2 seasons in two days, I am now up to date, and oh my goodness, it's amazing! The story line is really well put together, and all the charaters fit perfectly, it makes you laugh, cry (a lot) and it also has suspense, I have found that it is an alround amazing Tv Show which I would highly recommend!
