John Frieda Go Blonder Review

Hi,

Ok so as the title tells, yes I am doing a review on John Frieda's Go Blonder Shampoo and Conditioner. Now I purchased these products from Boots (a drugstore) for about £5.50 each.

John Frieda Sheer Blonde® Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo gradually lightens natural, colour-treated and highlighted blonde hair. With citrus extract and chamomile, the gentle formula improves the healthy look of your hair by tightening the cuticle and strengthening the shaft. The shampoo is ammonia and peroxide-free so is gentle enough for daily use.

That is what the company say about their products. My hair tends to feel dry and straw like if I don't use a good conditioner, and I usually just use a treatment mask as many conditioners do not moisturise my hair enough.

The shampoo is bright yellow in colour, and extremely thick. But worked very well into a lather, the scent wasn't too overpowering either.

The conditioner was a thick milky type product with the same scent as the shampoo.

Overall I am sadly not impressed. My straw like hair is still sadly very straw like so not amused. Also I wasn't overly struck by the scent of the product.

I was talking to Cat from http://swirledpeacat.blogspot.com/ (you must visit), and she recommended Sunsilks range of Blonde shampoos and conditioners, so that is my next experiment.

So currently what is your hair routine, what products to you lovely ladies swear by?

Love CV

Ok so my housemate/best mate has gone away for 2 weeks to turkey, thus leaving me on my own! Not a problem I'll cope. While talking with one of my friends I ask whether it is capable for one to have a Love CV.

What type of men do we go for? Our conquests? Our mistakes? This lead me onto some thinking, I am single at the moment and have no intentions on going back to what I had finished. But is it wrong to maybe go back to someone you had been "seeing" when you were say 16?

And this again had lead me on to some more thinking, What is my type? Do I actually have a type? Because I have had some relations with 2 drummers and 2 footballers, I am thinking I prefer footballers but still does a type actually exist?

This is alot of thinking and questions for 01:05 am. So do you agree that in life we "abstractly" have a Love CV, and also what is your Ideal man? Think mine would have to be Danny Dyer or John Rhys Meyers or Frank Lampard the list is endless

ELF Blush and Bronze Compact Review

Hello again,

ELF's studio line came out at the either the beginning of July or the end of it..........to be truthful I cannot actually remember.

ELF state that their new Studio Line Range give you "A Professional Look", So I was eager to take a look at the new product range (I know I'm a little behind with this review but hey whatever!).

Looking at the website sadly I was not overly impressed, but that does'nt say I didn't want anything. The Blush and Bronze Compact initially caught my eye:

See from the picture I assumed that the blush was a rosy pink and the bronzer is a light brown, I was so very wrong.

The pictures on ELF seem to be lighter than real. The blush is more of reddier pink with shimmer, needless to say I do like the colour but of course less is more with this product. The Bronzer is way too dark for my fair skin so I have not attempted to find a use for this.

Price: 5/5 Its excellent value for money at £3.50

Packaging: 5/5 Its sleek :)

Product: 3/5 It was darker than pictured on the Website, this didnt impress me. Too much fallout from product, as soon as my brush touched the product that was it it just powders everywhere.

So have you been impressed by ELF Studio Line?

Update

Today is my day off, having to spend in doors annoyingly. I am currently at my fathers home.......I live in two places with my loooooovely housemate and at my fathers! So I am currently rearranging the room and tidying UBER ANNOYING!!

I was surprised at the postman this morning, I have a package.......yes I love packages in any form with lots of goodies inside!

The package was from Garnier (or people who deal with them!) with their new range for me to try.......I think I am so behind with this as loads of bloggers have already tried and tested the new range: Pure Active

I was sent:

• Deep Pore Unclogging Wash


• Blackhead Clearing Scrub


• Spot Purifying Toner


• Spot-on Roll-on rapid soothing relief


• Spot Fighting 24hr Moisturiser

I can't really say I have spot prone skin, but I do have a blackhead problem that annoys the hell out of me. So I will give these ago.

Blonde Battle!

Ok so over my normal cup of lady grey tea this morning I was thinking. I love my blonde hair, it suits my complexion my green eyes, and the make up I own and use (I was thinking about dying it brown like my brother and sister!).

But I bought the John Freida Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner, so I am going to try out a new "Blonde Enhancing" shampoo and conditioner when each runs out. Then give my verdict on what ones I believe truly work.

This is probably going to be a long process, but tell me what do you think, will I be fighting a loosing battle?

Haul 002

I have been out shopping again! I have a problem, but oh well! I walked into Sallys again today, I knew exactly what I wanted and that was OPI's My Chihuahua Bites granted I spent close towards £10 I think its completly worth I (review coming soon!)

On a lighter note I have come across the cutest blog that made me laugh out loud. Her frank honesty is what drew me in. She is funny yet truthful the blog is called: My Chihuahua bites (just like OPI) which is how I came across this amazing blogger Andrea. Its available at http://www.mychihuahuabitesblog.com/ go visit!

I also purchased today Barry M Lippaint in 101 but I think the formulation may be too drying for my lips........will have to keep you updated on this one

Haul in the real world <3

Today has been a fairly productive day for me, indeed as the title shows I have been shopping! I get paid weekly which is very good for me and my spending habits. Sadly this is not a clothing haul as at the moment I have placed myself on a ban. My house mate and I are of the same size so we share most of our clothes as we are like sisters <3>

I love department stores such as Fenwicks and Debenhams!! I lose myself in them, probably could spend a whole day in them.

The Benefit counter was my first port of call, I originally wanted to pick up Benetint but I was put off for some reason. But that doesn't mean my visit was wasted! I found such a cute perfume

I apologize now for the bad quality of pictures my camera is not good!

The perfume is called "Laugh with me Lee Lee" The packaging is a gorgeous and is actually a work of art!

To Nars or Not to Nars?

I would not say I am having a major dilemma, but I am persuading myself more and more to buy a Nars Blush, because a girl cant have too much blush!

At £18.50 they are a little steep, but it is something that of course I pretty much would wear everyday (see I am persuading myself even more).

So here are my choices:

Nars Orgasm - described as being a peachy pink with shimmer

Nars Deepthroat - peach with a shimmer

Nars Mata Hari - Rose Petal Pink with a shimmer

Nars Angelika - Cottoncandy

I may have to go to bluewater to make my choice, but what do you think? Do you have a Nars blush if so what do you think?

Have a good night my lovelies

Splendids and Bads Volume 1

This week I haven't been so busy. Working at the hospital really does take its toll on you, not only physically but emotionally and mentally.

Dates have been the words on everyone of my friends lip this week, my friend Nadiya is seeing a guy whom is utterly delicious (lucky lady) and he treats her like a princess (What she totally deserves). Its rare to find a guy these days who really is a gentlemen.

My first "Splendid and Bad" post is obviously my twist of Ins and Outs, so I will discuss my favourite things and least.

Splendids

• Gosh Darling - My friends and I have coveted this lipstick as the "first date" lipstick.
• China Glaze Mediterranean Charm -As you can probably tell from an earlier post I have been so impressed by this polish.
• Elf Studio Blush and Bronze Compact - This is great value for money at £3.50 (Review coming soon!)
• Men actually acting like gentlemen <3>

Bads

• Having no money, there is so much I want to buy, Nars hmmmm I so deserve it.
• Meddling exes, poking their noses in where its not welcome.........Not Good!
• The lack of Summer, I like the weather hot hot hot!

China Glaze.........love or hate?

Hi girlies,

I shouldn't of spent anymore money this week, but just could not seem to help myself.

My friend Char and I took a trip to our local Sally's store, as she needed to pick up some waxing equipment. I spotted the China Glaze stand, I went to have a peak.

I have only one other China Glaze product, It the polish called Tempest (Here is a quick Pic).

Now when I tried this nail polish back in about March time, I was not impressed. It is the most gorgeous Purple shimmer in the bottle, but when applied to the nail it is incredibly sheer.

It took me 3-4 coats to get a more opaque cover. This completely ruined China Glaze for me.............or so I thought.

I was looking in particular at the Corals, Pinks and Reds, and I came across the most rich Red/Pink creme nail polish in the range. I had to have it........or I'd be thinking about it all weekend, then would have been driven mad until I had bought it.

Introducing Mediterranean Charm:

On the first application there it was an amazing burst of colour, two coats of the polish is enough for an even bright finish. I was so so impressed by the application of this creme polish by China Glaze. I believe that this could be the difference between the two finishes of shimmer and creme. Shimmer is sheer and Creme opaque maybe?

I will review this product later on to determine chip resistance :)

So tell me, what are your opinions on China Glaze do you love it or hate it

Shoes.............In the real world?

Today is my last day off from work, sadly I have to be up bright and breezy tomorrow. I decided to hop along to TK Maxx for a spot of shopping..........mainly to try and find the St. Moritz Tan everyone has been giving good reviews. But sadly my trip was wasted on the tan front.

Strolling throught the clothes rails, there was nothing that jumped out at me. Then there they were, the holy grail of shoe or should I say stiletto's here they are:

I adore them.

Another quick photo.....while I was cleaning my laptop today of photo etc. I found this picture from Halloween its of my puppy dog dylan dressed up

So if you read this leave me a comment..........what was the best date/"getting to know you session" you have ever been on? Or if your brave, what is the worst?

First Post: My Formal Introduction

Hello,



I think it is fair to say I have become addicted over the past weeks, with blogs..........I have enjoyed their diversity on many subjects. Of course I do enjoy the beauty blogs, I love reviews and the plain honesty from consumers like myself. I am going to publish posts on my feelings, beauty, fashion and probably general affairs (I do hope that I dont bore you).



So here is my introduction:

























I cannot imagine anyone will read this post, but nevermind........If you do read this then thank you

Have a great sunday
