L'OREAL micellar water | Review

Helloooo,

Today I'm doing a review on a product that you've probably all heard about. I read review after review on it and eventually gave into the urge and bought it. What do you think it is? 

It's the Micellar Water by L'OREAL Paris. As you can see I haven't used it that much but I've used it enough to love it and review it.

For starters, this is so affordable, I think I paid either three of four pound for it from Sainsburys in the make up section. You can also get it from boots and superdrug, which are pretty obvious places.

I like apply some of the product onto a cotton pad and then wipe it across my face to remove my makeup. For my eyes I like to just hold the cotton pad on my eye lid and let it dissolve my eye makeup which is normally mascara and eyeliner. I never have to scrub my face with this, it's so gentle and quick to use. Also, it's such a good alternative to remove your makeup if you don't have a skincare routine and just use wipes. It's good for them lazy nights as well, when you just can't be bothered to cleanse and moisturize and all of that sometimes time consuming stuff.

I hope you enjoyed this review and I'll be back on Thursday with another post.

Love from,

My haircare routine

Helloooo,

This post is going to be centered around my hair routine because I've never had one until recently and I can't even describe how much easier my hair is to manage. I guess you could say I have quite long hair and it's curly so I find it really hard to handle. Now, my hairs become just so much easier to maintain, it's less knotty and my curls are more defined and less curly. 

I'll start with the basics. I wash my hair either every two days or every three days, depending on what it's like. I rarely use a hair dryer and I straighten my hair once a week but sometimes I go a while without straightening it.

The first product I use (after wetting my hair, obviously) is the umberto giannini pure curls detangling shampoo. I don't use a lot but I use enough to cover my hair from roots to ends. I leave it in for about a minute and then wash it out.
Once I've washed the shampoo out I squeeze the water out to make my hair dryer. Making my hair damp means that I don't have to use as much conditioner and it moisture sit better. I put the curl enhancing conditioner from my ears to my ends and leave it in for about ten to twenty minutes.
Once I've washed the conditioner out, I squeeze my hair dry and scrunch this nourishing oil by umberto giannini. This smells soooo nice, the best way I can describe it what you'd expect a hairdressers to smell (extremely nice, I wish you could smell it). This has been helping to make my hair less frizzy and put my ends in better condition.
I then use this scrunching jelly, this is what has really really been helping my curls. I don't know if it's just me but as my hairs gotten longer my curls aren't as curly, if that makes any sense? But, this is what's been getting my curls back to how they used to be and I know it'll be a repurchase.

After a day or two of not washing my hair I use dry shampoo by batiste, I'm sure you've heard of it. It's super affordable and really helps with extra volume.

Thank you for reading, I'll be doing my next post on Thursday. It's a review.

All my love,
