Current Hair Routine

Hello lovely people,

A few weeks ago I tweeted about how I needed new products for my hair as I was having some trouble with it being damaged and dry all the time, which I put down to it being dyed and highlighted too often! Anyway I got some great recommendations from people on Twitter that I decided to try and was pleasantly surprised with the difference I could see in my hair in just a few weeks so I thought that if some of you were having the same problem with damaged and dry hair then this could maybe help you out a little :)

Firstly I changed all the products that I was using, I just started freshly again. I changed my shampoo to this L'Oreal Elvive one;

I feel that this has made a massive change to my hair as it has the right nutrients in it that will make my hair look more glossy and less dry and damaged looking, since my hair is also blonde when it is dry it resembles straw..not a good look!

Next for conditioner, which is a step that I feel is so important as it leaves your hair really soft and less tatty when brushing through it. One that I use around 2-3 times a weeks is this one by Aussie;

Excuse the grossness of this picture! However despite that the product inside it INCREDIBLE! A tiny bit really does go a long way, I run this product through the ends of my hair after shampooing and leave it for around 2 minutes. I have been truly converted to this product and will most defiantly be purchasing the larger bottle as I only got this as a sampler. My hair was left feeling smooth and the ends of hair looked in great condition!


To style my hair I have been trying to use less heat as before I used to blow dry and straighten my hair every day! (I know, I was bad!) However now I only blow dry my hair if I wash it in the morning and I only straighten it if I am going somewhere. By limiting the heat on my hair I have found it to be less dry and it just in general looks a lot more healthy :)

This is my current hair care routine and I can say that for certain I am so happy that I changed up my products because I don't think my hair has ever looked so good and healthy! Thank you to the girls on twitter that gave me the recommendations, you are all life savers! :)

Until next time,
Love Lisa x

£100 Wishlist - Hey Dolly Boutique

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to do something that I have never done before but have saw a lot of bloggers do recently which is my '£100 wishlist' I decided to pick Hey Dolly to do my wishlist from because quite simply this online boutique is really underrated in my opinion and they do some beautiful unique pieces!

Quick disclaimer - all the images are from the Hey Dolly twitter,which I will link at the end. I will link all items to the website also. I am also not sponsored to do this post, I just really like their clothing!

So without further ado, here is my £100 wishlist!

The first product that I have had my eye on for ages now is this stunning playsuit! 

I love the pattern and the colours in this playsuit. The cut at the top is also stunning and I would wear this to a festival or concert. This playsuit is £35 which I feel is a reasonable price as you could wear it every summer!

The next item which I love from Hey Dolly is this gorgeous pink dress :)

The thing I love most about this dress except for the stunning colour is the zip detail at the front, I think it just adds that little something extra! The style and shape of the dress is also very flattering and would be perfect for an evening out or for if you were attending a wedding during the Summer. At £44.99 it is rather pricey but for good quality it would be worth it and it is something you could style differently every time you wear it!

As well as clothing, Hey Dolly also do a variety of handbags and accessories which are all affordable and beautiful so it was hard picking my favourite! However with only £20 roughly left to spend I have selected my favourite 2 that cost £10 each. The first is this clutch bag that comes in a selection of colours;

My favourite one is the white one trimmed with pink or the black one as I feel that they would match a lot of outfits I already have however my inner-self is screaming for that bright neon green one as I think you would really stand out if you matched this with a simple black dress or jumpsuit! These clutch bags look really spacious as well which is such a bonus! They are classy and affordable, what a bargain!

Finally, the second accessory I have chosen at £10 to complete my £100 wishlist is the flower crown's that they have added.

These again would be perfect for a festival or concert and for only £10 they are so inexpensive compared to other's from high street brands! I absolutely adore the pink one and the lilac one, however they are all simply gorgeous! The fact that they are on headbands is also a plus for me as sometimes I find the stretchy material that some flower crowns come one quite sore on my head! 

So that completes my £100 wishlist from Hey Dolly boutique! There was so much more that I want from Hey Dolly that would have exceeded £100 so I had to narrow it down to some of my favourite pieces!

If you haven't heard of Hey Dolly before please check out their website; http://heydolly.co.uk/

And their twitter where they post competitions and show you exclusive new pieces, https://twitter.com/Heydollylondon

I hope you enjoyed this post, I certainly enjoyed fantasising about all the clothes I can not afford from Hey Dolly! If you would like more posts like this then please share and comment! :)

My Top 5 Picks - Nail Polish

Hey everyone!

I love a lot of products, that's a given obvious from my blog. I recently was going through all my make up and sorting it all out because honestly it had went a bit crazy and I was buying all thee new things that I knew I didn't need! I decided to put myself through make up rehab and that's how came up with the idea for this post.

I decided to pick out my top 5 of each type of product and so I thought I would make a little series on my blog to share with you all what my top 5 make up product picks are.


To begin with, nail polish is my downfall. I literally have over 100 bottles of the stuff, it's an addiction. This was really hard but these top 5 picks are my favourite to wear in the Summer months because it would be so hard to narrow it down to my top 5 overall!

Barry M in my opinion own it when it comes to nail polish! Their formula is the best that I have tried, especially from their Gelly HI-Shine range. The polish stays on for a really long time and overall the brand is really good and inexpensive as they always have special deals and offers going on. It was really hard to choose my favourite from the Barry M range but I picked this pastel blue one for Summer as it is the one that I would reach for most often during the Summer months as it is a really casual colour and matches a lot of clothing.



The second brand that I have most nail polishes from is Rimmel. Again, Rimmel have a really good formula with their nail polishes however they aren't as long lasting as the Barry M ones but they do have a wide range of colour options and again it was very difficult to choose my favourite one. 

I decided on the muted/pastel lilac almost grey colour as it is the one that I have been wearing recently and it is so a gorgeous and such an

unusual colour. It is called 'Mary Mary quite contrary' which is such a cute name! I wear this nail polish on a day to day basis as it is so muted it matches with everything which is such a bonus!

A lot of people would refrain themselves from wearing red nail polish during the summer months, however I believe I have found the perfect red nail colour for Summer and it is from L'Oreal, a brand that I literally never buy nail polish from! This gorgeous deep, bright red gives the perfect pop of colour. I especially love to wear it along with red lipstick when I am wearing a white or eve monochrome outfit during the Summer. This colour is called '403 Femme Fatale' and I really think that if you love the colour red you should defiantly look into this shade for Summer!

Coral is one of my favourite shades to wear in the Summer, it is bright and fun and simply defines Summer to me. Rimmel again do my favourite shade of coral to wear in the Summer and it is called 'Orange Your Life' which is such a quirky name! When you put one layer on it doesn't look that bright but I usually end up having to use 2-3 coats, which kinda sucks to get the bright pop of neon coral/orange that I want to achieve. All in all it is a really fun bright summer colour!

The final nail polish that I want to put into my top 5 picks for Summer is one from NYC. I don't own a lot of NYC products, in fact I think I only have 3 of their nail polish's however I was really impressed by this shade. It is a beautiful green/blue. Not exactly a mint green colour, it is a lot brighter than that. The reason I really like this shade is because when you want something brighter than a pastel green then this is the perfect in between shade as it isn't exactly a neon-popping colour. The formula of the nail polish I really loved and it only took one coat which is a big bonus!

Sorry for this incredibly long post, but there was so much information and love for each of these nail polish's that I just had to put in!! 

Also, side note, each picture with the nail polish was done with one dip in the bottle and one coat just to show off how what the formula was like for each different nail polish.

Hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to know what your favourite Summer nail polishes are!?

Until next time, 

Love, Lisa xx
