My Everyday HEATLESS curls!

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you how to achieve my everyday heatless curls. Whenever I do this to my hair I receive so many compliments and questions regarding how I achieve my natural looking bouncy waves/curls.

So are you ready to find out how you can have beautiful hair in just 5 minutes?! I often do these OVERNIGHT for second day hair and you only need 2 items!

• Bendy Rollers/Flexi Rods
• Spray bottle of water
• Serum (optional)

To secure the rollers, simply bend the ends over.

The positioning for these to be comfortable to sleep in is pretty important. I like to position the rollers just below my jaw, this leaves my head free while I sleep. They are really secure too so they won't unravel over night. 

I love these curls. This takes just a few minutes to do before bed and a 30 seconds to unravel in the morning and your done! Just run your fingers through to brake them up and add a little serum to add a nice shine. 

Every time the results are always a little bit different. Sometimes they are really curly and other times less so. I've just had my hair cut so again its looking a little different this time around, much more loose. As the day wears on they will drop out a little bit creating a more natural wave look, but I do find that on the hole they last much better than when I've used an curling wand and feel better too!

Hope you've like this tutorial!

Review | L'Oreal Skin Perfection Correction Day Moisturiser

Today's the second instalment of my L'Oreal Skin Perfection review(s). Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Correction Day Moisturiser.

Information

Brand | L'Oreal Paris
Product | Skin Perfection Correcting Day Moisturiser
Size | 50ml
Price | £14.99 (but I paid £9.99 on offer)
Purchased from | Boots
Made in | Germany
Would I re-purchase | No

Ingredients |

AQUA / WATER, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERIN, ISOPROPYL ISOSTEARATE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAETHYLHEXANOATE, OCTYLDODECANOL, CETYL, ALCOHOL, SILICA, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, TALC, PTFE, POLYETHYLENE, EPERUA FALCATA BARK EXTRACT, PEG-100 STEARATE, STEARIC ACID, STEARYL ALCOHOL, CARBOMER, ARACHIDYL ALCOHOL, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETEARYL, GLUCOSIDE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, PALMITIC ACID, ADENOSINE, POLOXAMER 338 AMMONIUM, POLYACRYLDIMETHYLTAURAMIDE / AMMONIUM, POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE, DISODIUM EDTA, CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, LENS ESCULENTA SEED EXTRACT / LENTIL SEED EXTRACT, DEXTRIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, CI 16035 / RED 40, CI 17200 / RED 33, LINALOOL, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, LIMONENE, CITRAL, CITRONELLOL, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE

'In your 20's and 30's your skin is still young but not always perfect.

Stress, fatigue and an unbalanced lifestyle can affect skin quality causing irregularities to appear: imperfections, enlarged pores and an uneven skin texture.

New Skin Perfection Day Moisturiser helps transform the appearance of skin quality, as if perfected.Pores look virtually undetectable, tone looks more even, skin texture feels silky-soft.The silky-smooth cream locks in moisture for up to 24 hours of hydration.'

The moisturiser itself comes in a pretty hefty glass tub with the same ombre effect glass colouring as the serum and a metallic pink screw top lid. The product is tinted a pale pink colour with a soft perfumey fragrance and has a relatively thick consistency. It absorbs nicely into the skin leaving it with the same cool feeling as the Skin Perfection Serum, skins left soft and smooth to the touch. Although it has a thicker consistency it doesn't feel heavey on the skin or greasy, and has an ever so slight mattifying effect, which doesn't last overly long. 
Hydration wise this leaves my skin feeling pretty happy all day long and I haven't found it to really add to my oily skin problems.
I feel like in using this and the serum has helped reduce the appearance of my pores, and makes a nice makeup base. 
Although I've had good results with both products I won't be re-purchasing them. Now I'm over my traumatic rebellion from my no-poo experiment, I feel I want to re-discover more natural products again. I feel like I've been bit of a yo-yo in my skincare/haircare interest and morals for the last god know's how long, so I do appologise for the mental whiplash! But I do hope you've enjoyed the review and stay tuned for my next post!

Review | L'Oreal Skin Perfection Advanced Correcting Serum

Hey everybody today I bring to you the first half of the L'Oreal Skin Perfection review. I picked this serum up back in January with my Boots Advantage points along with the correlating moisturiser and thought I'd do two separate reviews on each, starting with the serum.

Information |

Brand | L'Oreal Paris
Product | Skin Perfection Advanced Correcting Serum
Size | 30ml
Price | £16.99 (but I think I paid £11 with points)
Purchased from | Boots
Made in | Germany
Would I repurchase | undecided

Ingredients |

ALCOHOL DENAT., AQUA / WATER, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, LINALOOL, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, DROMETRIZOLE TRISILOXANE, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, BHT, COUMARIN, BENZYL BENZOATE, GERANIOL, CITRONELLOL, LIMONENE, CI 17200 / RED 33, CI 19140 / YELLOW 5

'Refines skin texture, tightens pores, evens and brightens skin tone'

'LR 2412 + Perline-P'

This particular serum is targeted at women aged in their 20's and 30's, when our skin is still young but not as perfect and elastic as it was in our teens. Its meant to help relieve the signs of stress, fatigue and an unbalanced lifestyle. (I contest to all of these things!)

The serum comes in a glass bottle with a pink obre glass effect and a hot pink plastic pump dispenser and plastic cap. It only has a very faint scent that is barely there, its a subtle perfumey scent. The serum itself is white in colour with a faint iridescent shimmer. It has quite a slippery texture and smooths in to the skin leaving behind a nice cooling effect. Since I've been using this, day and night, I have to say I have actually seen results and I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm always dubious about anything with big claims. The overall look and quality of my skin has improved. Although pores do not tighten I've found they look less noticeable and I'm some who has very large pores.

Although this has work really rather well for me I'm unsure if I would repurchase another one, as this is 100%  a chemical cocktail. I bought this right after I quit no-poo and was having a bit of a crisis (am I the only one like that?), I would like to get back on track with my natural skincare but that will have to wait till I've used this all up, along with the moisturiser.

But in a nutshell I have enjoyed using it and I'm glad that I can give it a positive review! Hope you have found this helpful!
