Review | TRESemme Salon Sleek Straightening Spray with Argan Oil


Review | TRESemme Salon Sleek Straightening Spray with Argan Oil..




When I wear my hair straight, I like it to be absolutely bone straight and sleek! After I had put my previous extensions through so much and also bleaching it, as it's real hair, it obviously required just a little more attention to maintain a shiny and sleek look. This product was a random buy whilst purchasing my TRESemme heat protecting spray and it was mentioned in one of my "What's New" post.





You're meant to use this spray whilst your hair is damp but I noticed I preferred the results of it when the hair was 80% dry or dry. On most days, I'd use it just before straightening and it really did make that difference! It eliminates any frizz that you may have and leaves a smooth finish to your hair. I also noticed that over time, your hair requires less straightening as it is a product that is used to train your hair to be straight. I'd wake up and have barely any straightening to do! The straightening spray also contains Argan Oil from Morocco which I love as you all know so it's not really necessary to buy a separate Argan Oil product if you don't want to. Apart from the fact that the extensions were good quality, I do believe the Argan Oil aided in the smooth and silky finish. 





Those of you who have your hair straight a lot or are always straightening and don't know what to use on your virgin extensions, this is a good product to try out.





My mum has just recently bought me 2 more bottles of this though I haven't even finished the bottle I purchased but with this Virgin Filipino hair I doubt I'd be needing this spray any time soon!





Size: 250ml





Price: I originally bought this for £4.99 from Superdrug but Boots are currently having a 3 for 2 offer on hair care and hair accessories.





Availability: Most TRESemme stockists eg. Boots, Superdrug.

Hair | My New Virgin Filipino Hair Extensions


Hair My New Virgin Filipino Hair Extensions..







Since I've started my blog, I haven't gotten any new long bundles of hair to show you until now! I've mainly been reusing my Virgin Peruvian/Cambodian hair and it's time I gave them a break. In most pictures you see of me on my blog or instagram, I am using my Peruvian hair and in some cases, Cambodian at the back. The hair in my previous FOTD post was 3 bundles of Virgin Peruvian and 2 bundles of Virgin Cambodian hair. The Peruvian is the same hair that I've had in many other posts but I had bleached it.  



I thought I'd take a picture and show you my new Virgin Filipino hair that I haven't used yet so you can see how it looks before I've put it in. My picture really isn't doing this hair any justice! It looks much nicer in person and has a natural shine to it. This time I'm only using 4 bundles of 100g because the hair is really thick from top to ends so I don't need as much as I would usually use. The lengths are meant to be 18", 20" x 2 and 22" but they've all measured longer than that. 

I've just had it made into a u-part with a silk closure but I'm still considering maybe getting it more layered. When I've fully installed it, I may take a pic to show you all. 



I get quite a lot of emails regarding my hair which I don't mind but don't forget I have a "My Hair Information" page which may answer some of your questions.



My hair is from 4hairline. For a pricelist, you will need to email sales@4hairline.co.uk or contact them via their Facebook page.

What's New | Sigma F88, Lancome Teint Idole Ultra, Maybelline BB Cream, Body Shop Tea Tree Range


What's New | Sigma F88, Lancome Teint Idole Ultra, Maybelline BB Cream, Body Shop Tea Tree Range..




Aside infrequent posts, I also haven't done much makeup shopping recently but I thought I'd show you the few things I have added to my collection though some are repurchases.








The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil


After taking a liking to the Tea Tree Blemish Night Fade Lotion, I wanted to try more from The Body Shop Tea Tree range. If you're subscribed to receiving emails from The Body Shop, you will know that they're always sending discount codes or having offers. At the time they were having an offer where if you spend over £5, you get free shipping and 30% off your order so I decided to make use of the discount code and purchase. The oil can be used as a massage oil, in your shampoo, in your bath, in your makeup cleansing solution and is also meant to be good for blemished skin. It is one of their best selling products so I'm interested to see how well it works.


Original Price: £6.50 






The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion


This is a repurchase. If you have not already seen my review on this product, click HERE






Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation


I did decide to repurchase this foundation as it has quickly become one of my favourites. I stuck with the shade #11 which I had been using before as I tried #10 again and I didn't like it. I'm sure many of you have already read my review on it but if not, click HERE to read it.






Maybelline Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream - Deep Sheer Tint


So lately there's been this whole hype about BB creams. At first I never really took interest because there seemed to be a lack of colour range amongst brands. But as time goes, more and more brands are offering BB creams for women of colour. After seeing lilpumpkinpie05 and teasedblackpearlz on YouTube use it, I thought I'd give it a try. I haven't had a chance to wear it properly because I recently had an allergy on my face but it does look a tad dark and the shade before looks light. This shade is not available in England so I had to order it off eBay from a US seller. For those interested, click HERE for the link. The seller also has other shades. Once I've tested it out fully, I'll write a review. 


Price: £7.68








Sigma F88 Flat Angled Kabuki Brush

I received the F88 brush this morning that was very kindly sent from Sigma. I am in love with their Sigmax brushes and those who know me know that I cannot live without my F80 Flat Kabuki brush. That has to be the best foundation brush I have ever used for an flawless and good coverage. I always recommend it to people. I'm due to write a review on it actually! This brush is very similar to the F80 but instead it is angled. It can also be used as a foundation brush but since it is angled, it may be easier to use on certain areas of the face. Even though it is very similar to my F80, I will try it out as a foundation brush but I can see myself using it more to contour! Click HERE to view the range or purchase Sigma brushes. For those in England, they do provide worldwide shipping. You can also get 10% until September 30th by using the code SB2012!


Price: $16
