REVIEW: LOUISE GRAY EYESHADOW PALETTE

As the last of the Christmas sales are finally coming to an end, I decided to pick some things up from the Topshop sale. The first thing I picked up was this Louise Gray Eyeshadow Palette because I loved the salmon pink colour for spring and the black/dark gray colour, which would be good to use as a softer eyeliner than a heavy black eyeliner in the spring. It was also a bargain for only £1!

As soon as it came in the post, I immediately could not wait to open it up! It came packaged in the cutest pink and gold box and the actual palette has the same gold pattern on the top of it as well, and also has a decent mirror in the top of it. When I was trying them out, I found that they were quite pigmented, however the lighter colours were less pigmented than the darker ones. I also found that to get enough of the colour on your eyes, you need to use quite a lot of the lighter colours. However, because I want to use these colours in the spring I don't mind as much, because they give a subtle colour, which will look good in the spring. The only downside to this product would be the cheap applicator that they give you with it, but I used another eyeshadow brush, so overall I would reccomend picking this up before they all are gone!

VO5 Products

Hair products are my guilty pleasure!

Recently, I bought the new dry shampoo from the VO5 range and I loved it! Normally, I would always opt for Batiste dry shampoo and I've always found them to be really good, however the last bottle I bought of Batiste was just full of water! Nothing was coming out from the bottle and I kept trying it and nothing was coming out. So when I saw that there was a new dry shampoo, I decided to try it out and I am so glad I did. I plan on doing a review on the dry shampoo very soon, so watch out for that. Then, today I was in Sainsbury's and saw that the VO5 shampoo's and conditioner's were on offer, £1.95 from £3.90, so I decided to pick some up. There were 3 different types of the hair products, but I decided on getting the versions for damaged and heat styled hair, because I use a lot of heat on my hair nearly everyday, so I thought it would be the best for my type of hair. 



I have yet to actually try them out, because I only bought them earlier today, therefore I might write a post to update you about if they actually do nourish and repair your hair as these products claim to do. However, I have had a sneaky sniff of them and they smell insanely good so I am hoping that they work wonders on my hair.Also, I was planning on purchasing the separate VO5 bottle of argan oil for £4.99 anyway before I bought these products, however I read the back of the bottle in the shop and found out that both the shampoo and the conditioner already contain the oil in them, which is a big plus for these products and save you from spending more money on the argan oil. I've had a look around the other beauty chains online, such as Superdrug and Boots, to see if they have any offers on them and in Superdrug at the moment, they are selling the 250ml versions for only 99p, which is a bargain! Also, in Boots, they are selling the full 500ml bottles for only £1.79, which is half price! How can you say no to that?!
