George The Tamer 2 in 1 Lash Definer and Brow Tamer

My husband hates it when I go food shopping especially when he knows there are beauty counters available in the shop - I get easily distracted. 

I spied the eyebrow range now available from the Asda George range and was intrigued to find out whether it was any good. And you know what, its pretty good. This product did not make my eyebrows "crunchy" sounds strange but I sometimes find with clear brow gel my eyebrows go crunchy and I do not like this. In addition, my brows stayed in place all day which is pretty impressive. This is one product that I would recommend and at £3 it is a bargain. Check this product out here.

Make Up Obsession Live Love London (E138 Slate)

These eye shadows have been all over the internet with bloggers filling endless palettes of the amazing colour choice available.

Finally, a brand has come to realise their customers want choice and the fact that not everyone likes all of the same colours in fixed palettes. I love the face that there is so much choice and these cost £2.00 which is a bargain. 

I have bought a lot of the colours, I forgot to order the palette (doh........) my pregnant brain was not quite working at the time. This is one of my favourite colours, I know you are thinking that it looks rather dull, but it looks amazing for a smokey eye. I don't do a dramatic smokey eye, I do a very subtle eye and it looks beautiful. You can easily build the colour to make it as dramatic as you wish and you can control this easily. There was little to no fall out and the shadows were easily blendable which I was surprised at as I usually find with cheaper eye shadows they can be very stiff. 

If you are on a budget you need these in your life and you can pick from a large variety of colours, check them out here.

Empty Product - Sanctuary Spa Gentle Polish Body Scrub

 

Since I have been pregnant for what feels like around two years of my life the one thing I have noticed is the toll it has taken on my skin. I am not sure if you are the same, but because I concentrate on my face and ensuring this looks good, I don't always pay the same attention to my body skin. 

So, this time around, I have ensured that my skin is in good condition. Ok I have a couple of stretch marks but I am nearly due so there was going to be some impact on my body and we all cannot be perfect. 

I have been using the gentle polish scrub throughout my pregnancy and it has helped to keep my skin looking pretty good and clearing those pesky dead skin cells off and any dry patches that I had. My skin has been left feeling soft and smooth and I have even packed on of these in my hospital bag just because I know it simply just works. 

The second quality I love about this product is the smell, I am a massive fan of the traditional fragrance from Sanctuary and it is always the one I ask for when people are asking what to get me for my birthday or Christmas. This product contains patchouli and orange oil and I love the smell which is released into the bathroom, it just relaxes me straight away. 

The last quality I love about this product is the lack of mess it leaves. I find some of the body exfoliates leaves a film around the bath / shower and you have to spend ages clearing out the scrub. With this product, I find you do not get that and there is no mess.

I have of course have many, many bottles in my collection as I just cannot be without this product and at £5.50 is a bargain. This product is available here.

L'Oreal Professional Paris Care For Dry Hair

Professional Care for Dry Hair

Oh my, I have found my favourite hair care range for the year. I know the year is nearly done but boy you have to try many many products to find the one. My hair during pregnancy has been interesting and like my skin changes on a daily basis, but predominantly it has been dry and a bit lank.

However, when this landed on my door step I was very very excited. These products are simply amazing and if you have dry hair this is a must for your hair care regime. 

Nourishing system silicone-free melting masque

This range is specifically formulated to combat undernourished hair. 

Shampoo

L'Oreal have an understanding and research into the environmental and what negative effects occur on a day to day basis on our hair. It is their understanding the causes and contributing factors are many including: -

• Genetics
• Sun 
• Pollution 
• Colouring

These all have a negative impact on our hair. 

Conditioner 

All of these products are silicone free. 

Heat Protection (up to 450 F / 230 C) 

The Glycerol and Coco Oil formula help to hydrate and nourish your hair, which is perfect as we head into the Winter months. The Coco Oil adds lustre, shine and prevents hair breakage and split ends. 

With these products being silicone free this means your hair feels lightweight and soft to the touch.

DD Balm 

Now, I have left the best product to last this is the DD balm which protects your hair from external factors including the sun and cold weather. The DD balm is for dry ends and you pop it in after you have finished drying your hair. I actually put it in my hair everyday and find it leaves my hair feeling soft and hydrated and the ends of my hair look amazing compared to before when they just looked "yuk" no matter what I did, nothing would improve them. However, since using this amazing balm they look healthy. In addition, because my hair does get tangled, even straight after I have brushed it this has really helped to ensure my hair remains tangled free. 

Since using all of these products my hair feels amazing and the smell I just love. In addition, I am not having to wash my hair everyday I can get away with leaving it 2-3 days without feeling greasy, it still feels like I have just washed it - BONUS!!! 

The price of these products is a little more then you may usually spend however, if you are limited budget I would recommend for you to either get the DD balm or the masque.  

PS- I have already repurchased the range again because I am so worried as I am due to give birth at any time that I would end up running out of the products and cannot rely on my husband to purchase these products again. 

The Serie Expert Nutrifier range prices are as follows and is available here: 

• Shampoo - £10.99
• Conditioner - £11.99
• Masque - £13.99
• Heat protection - £13.99
• DD balm - £10.99

All of these products are going to be in my Hall of Fame for 2016 as they are simply amazing and just work!
