Hello ladies,
I have a new hair obsession.... the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil hair oil. I am absolutely loving this since the first use!!
So I thought I give you a little review on it....
First of all, a quick explanation what argan oil is:
Argan Oil is an oil that is produced from the kernels of the Argan tree which is endemic in Morocco. It has been praised for a long time for its nutritive and cosmetic properties.
It is suitable for all skin types (even super sensitive skin!!) and is intensely moisturizing.
So, now to the actual product.
First of all, the packaging is gorgeous! I am obsessed with the rich golden tones and the shape of the bottle. Even the oil is a really beautiful shade of honey.
Which make it a pleasure to use!
The scent is also really indulgent. It has a rich earthy / fruity scent to it which however does not linger on the hair for a long time after styling it. (Don't mind me describing scents… really not good at it).
The oil itself is incredibly nourishing and really smoothes out my fine, frizzy hair. It does not leave my hair looking oily unlike other products I have used in the past. It simply leaves I looking healthy. Another great thing about this product is , at least in my opinion, once you used it and wash you hands, it does not leave any yucky film covering your skin. :-) That is always a massive bonus point.
Overall this is an amazing product!
It is available in: Boots, Superdrug and major supermarkets
Priced at: £6.99 for 100ml (but you can always find it on offer somewhere)
Love,
Linda

Barry M Nailpolish
Hello ladies,
today I though I would share this absolutely gorgeous nail colour with you. I bought it just a short time before Christmas but have been absolutely obsessed with it ever since!!! It is from the Barry M Textured Nail Effects line in the colour Majesty.
When you apply it, this polish leaves a structured effect on your nails and looks just like pure glitter. And I have to say, I am in love with this pure antique gold colour.
It is really long lasting (I wore it for almost a week without chipping!) and does not loose any of its sparkle once applied like some other polishes do.
Where to buy: Boots & Superdrug
Price: £3.99
Love,
Linda

Clinique Exfoliating Scrub Review
Hi ladies,
About three month ago I popped into Selfridges with the intention to load myself up with high end skin care products for the very first time in my life.
I had never ever before bought any expensive skin product but started to become really unhappy with my routine.
It had basically always consisted of a drugstore facial wash and toner for combination to oily skin. But I started to become increasingly frustrated because nothing ever seemed to really have an impact on my skin.
So I decided that it was time to switch it up.
Don't get me wrong, I love everything drugstore but the product range for skin care just wasn't what I was expecting any more for my skin. But that's just me.
So, well... As said, I arrived at Selfridges, completely soaked from a massive downpour, my boots squeaking like crazy and in principle looking like a wet poodle. The salesclerk at the Clinique counter was really lovely and sat me down for a quick consultation to find out what exactly I was looking for and need.
In the end, she suggested that I go for the anti blemish solution system and I decided to go for the Cleansing Foam of that line and the Exfoliating Scrub and the Liquid Facial Soap from their general line.
Having used this for a bit more than three month now, I think I can truly say that I am over the moon with the products. However, of all three of these products, the exfoliating scrub has made the biggest impression on me and that's why I would like to give it a little shout out here.
So here is my review:
My skin, which is combination to oily, turns a little red after use but that does not put me off because my skin is quite sensitive anyways.
This scrub has a thick consistency with small exfoliating particles and does look a bit like toothpaste when you squeeze it out of the tube.
The packaging itself is the typical clean and sleek Clinique style in a very nice light green with silver lettering, and overall I am quite pleased with it.
It has a strong scent of menthol to it which is amazing if you are using the scrub in the morning as it will really wake you up and leave a nice cooling sensation on your face. That is if you are a fan of menthol of course. If not, then you might prefer to stay away from this.
The lady at the Clinique counter recommended using this scrub twice a week and having done so during the last month, I feel comfortable saying that it has made a significant difference to my skin.
My face feels much softer and smoother than ever before and my pores appear to be much smaller. I do tend to have breakouts quite frequently, and this seems to be helping to keep them in check and really take off all flakes / dead skin cells and remove all the gunk.
This scrub is my new Holy Grail. It exfoliates my skin like nothing else I have ever tried, and believe me, I have tried a lot and nothing ever did the trick to really improve my skin.
You can find the at any Clinique counter and it retails for £18.50 (100ml) which is not too pricey in my opinion as it will last for a very long time and you are getting an amazing product.
If you have tried this scrub, I would love to hear your opinion about it, or if you have any skin care you would like to recommend please let me know!!!
Lots of love,
Linda

Happy New Year!!!!
Hello my lovelies,
Happy New Year to you all!!!!
2013 has come and gone and I hope you are all had a wonderful and exciting year!
Just as a side comment,.... do you also have the feeling as if last year just flew by? Time just seems to be passing by quicker and quicker.
I don't really want to say it (cliché phrase coming....), but... I can't believe it is already 2014!
Last year was soooooooooooo exciting for me. I got married, spent a long time at home with my family which I usually don't get to do that much, traveled to Santorini and Paris, turned 30 (which I am o.k. with by now, lalalalala) and actually started with my blog again ...
All in all... a really busy but fantastic year!!!!
I can't wait to see now what 2014 is going to bring.
Lots of love,
Linda
