Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo
I've been using Batise for a couple of years now, but I've nearly always opted for the floral travel size version. I've tried even the more adventurous and exciting editions, like the Batiste powder for emergencies and silver shimmer for nights out but over a continuous chain of disasters I decided to stick with the floral and flirty version. Until I dared to get this that is! Spray it on, massage to distribute evenly and suddenly you've got oddles and oddles of big hair, no backcombing needed. I use it for messy buns as it makes them stay secure and even more messy.
L'oreal Extraordinary Oil
This was only released earlier in the year, and there's a version for coloured hair too. It's very oily so I use one drop instead of the recommended two as I don't want to overload my hair and make it look greasy. However, it's a brilliant product, giving loads of shine and taming dry ends, so it works wonders for me. It works best applied on dry hair, and as only one drop can go a long way, it is sure to last ages.
Nivea Vitamin Shake Cranberry+Raspberry Lip Balm
I got this from a friend who had visited Beiresdorf, but unfortunately I've never seen it here as I would love to get it again. It's my new favourite lipbalm, with gorgeous packaging, a gorgeous scent and a gorgeous feel on the lips. Its really moisturizing and I use it as a base for lipsticks, or on its own.
Essence Raspberry+Chocolate Cookie Hand Cream
The scent and richness of this handcream is probably why I love it so much. It isn't too sweet or too runny, spreads over hands easily and absorbs quickly, but doesn't have a brilliant lasting power, but seeing as it's so cheap its something that can be overlooked.
Essence Soft&Natural Foundation shade 02 Sand Beige
I've never received so much praise as to how clear my skin is whilst wearing this foundation. It's really easy to apply and only requires a tiny amount. Lasting the whole day, it doesn't get into creases and is invisible once applied. It also acts as a good concealer and hides spots and blemishes well. As it is an Essence product, its a total bargain and is super affordable!
L'oreal Elvital Volume shampoo+spray
As you can probably now tell, I use quite a lot of volume products since I love my hair big and bouncy. These are from the Loreal Elvital (not Elvive!) range which I purchased in Lithuania, so I highly doubt they're available here or the UK. The shampoo leaves my hair soft and easy to style, but the spray is definitely my new favourite as when applied to damp hair, it gives volume that no volumizing powder could give, bouncy and really long lasting!!
Wella Curling Mousse
I always put this on the night before I plan doing a messy bun. It defines and brings out every little curve in my hair and turns it into a soft curl, making messy buns messier and better.
Essence Lipstick shade 53 All About Cupcake
This has to be my most favourite lipstick of all time. The colour is a gorgeous soft pink which can be layered over to create a more sultry colour. It also gives a brilliant shine and moisturizes like a lip balm, and on top of all that it's a bargain just like most Essence products are. I will be definitely getting it again and again.
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick shade 01
I don't usually buy Rimmel products, but I couldn't resist this one because of its true red colour and small price tag. It's really pigmented so it lasts a long time but I find it really dry so I have to bring a lipbalm and use it as a base as otherwise I would have cracked red stained lips, not a good look!
L'oreal Million Lashes Mascara
I bought this when it was on sale and fell in love with it after the first application. It brings out every single eyelash, coating it evenly without clumping. I usually apply a couple of coats to achieve that thick dark lash look. I do notice some smudging after a long day, but other than that its a brilliant product.
