Budget Buy: Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner |

Its not very often that i rave about haircare on my blog but when i find i product that has amazed me so much its worth a post of its own right? Since buying the Dove Leave In Conditioner Spray and also the shampoo i thought that i would try one of the conditioners that they have. I notice the Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner in Boots for £3.99 and thought it was worth a whirl.

The conditioner is aimed to give a deep nourishment to the hair and help to repair split ends and breakages. It has a micro moisture serum which intensely nourishes and seals lifted cuticles against future damage and is packed with all the benefits of a treatment at the quick speed of a conditioner.

First of all i love the smell of the dove products i cant quite but my finger on it but its sort of fruity i guess. I use the conditioner through the mid lengths to the ends and leave it on for a minute. Once washed out my hair feels so soft and silky and generally more hydrated in the ends. I have been using this for a couple of weeks and have really seen a lovely difference in the way my hair looks and feels at the ends. Its so affordable and im only a quarter of the way into the tube so its great value for money. I am so impressed with the dove range and i really want to try out many more of the products. But this conditioner is so quick and simple to use with fab results. Would really recommend if your hair is in need of a boost.

Have you tried Dove conditioners?

FHI Go Straighteners Review....

Ive been holding off for awhile straightening my hair as ive wanted to give my hair abit of a break and ive seen so much improvement in the strength of my hair. I decided to treat myself to some new straighteners. 

The FHI range is a big brand in the USA and ive heard that apparently its the equivalent in quality of GHDs. After so much research and reading reviews i thought i would take the plunge in getting some. 

 

These lovely beauties have a variable temperature of 210°C which is reached within seconds and can be turned with the dial to the selected heat. It has floating tourmaline plates which produce negative ions to stop static. 

The whole range of FHI straighteners are beautiful with different thicknesses and temperatures a whole range to choose from. The Go straighteners are a budget buy at £34.99 here. But ooze in quality. 

As soon as the parcel came i was so excited to try them out and i was not disasppointed. Being compared to GHDs it had alot to live up to but ive absolutely loved the results. They leave my hair completely straight as anything but with a nice little shine too. They heat up like a dream and are so quick with the heating time. Ive loved how the plate is abit thicker just making it that more easy to straighten thicker sections. Amazing value for money and i would love to try out more heating equipment from this brand and i would have to say the straighteners are as equal to GHDs so if you are on a tight budget and dont have the money to spend as much then  i would recommend these so much :)

Would you try these out? :)

How to create your own spa at home for under £20...

Yayy its February a new month. It feels so better having finished with january. So todays post i was actually inspired by a client i had the other day who asked me what spa products to get to recreate it at home as she was on a budget and Elemis is a very expensive brand of products. So in the consultation room i had to sneakily tell her some products and i thought i would share this idea to the rest of you lovelies :).......

 

A spa experience can be one of the best things a girl does to treat herself. Instead of having mountains of ironing or making the tea abit of time out is necessary. Visiting a spa can be expensive and costly i should know working at one. Ive witnessed many women coming in for a massage and after the experience letting out all of their emotions and feeling like a whole new person. So if you are on a budget then don’t worry i have some products for you to create the spa experience at home. Having spare time feels like a luxury and alot of us dont have the money to splash out on a spa especially with the crisis of the country. That doesnt mean a pamper session from the comfort of your own bathroom is out of the question beauties. There are plenty of ways to replicate the spa experience at home and it doesnt have to cost alot either. Some of these products mentioned you will be able to use more than once saving you money and these are just an idea of what you can get on a budget and of course you will find other products more suited to you.

First of all is a hair mask. I think hair masks are an amazing invention. Whoever did it is fab!! With most people using heated products on their hair it makes the hair lack life and in return will give you more split ends. This Botanics 3 Minute Moisturising Hair mask is a rich and intensive treatment that restores the moisture transforming damaged hair to be healthier. Its enriched with soy protein and shea butter which helps to repair damage hair leaving it to feel smooth soft and silky all day. 

Boots - £3.33

One of the main things i get asked alot is if when a bubble bath product says its good for stress for example does it actually work. Now you have to look on the ingredients to see if it contains a certain ingredient so for stress you would look for lavender. Radox is a really good brand for stress,  muscle aches or even sleepless nights. Having a good soak with one of these products really does do you the world of job. So one of the products i would have is the Radox Muscle Soak. Its amazing for tired and aching muscles and it also helps to wake you up and get going. It contains natural ingredients which awaken your mind and revives your body.

Boots - £1.00

Body scrubbing is one of the most important things you can do for your skin as it cleanses and exfoliates dead skin.St Ives invigorating apricot body scrub has 100% exoliators which cleanses away dead cells from the skins surface. It leaves your body more refined and instantly soft and smoother. Exfoliating at least once a week is perfect to cleanse your skin and not to over do it.

Superdrug - £2.49

So after exfoliating its really important that you moisturise your skin. By hydrating your skin it wont feel dry and or lacked in elasticity. This cocoa butter hand and body lotion is a lightweight rich moisturiser that has a sweet scent leaving skin feeling soft.

Body Shop - £3.00

Having a face mask i find is very therapeutic. Its so relaxing and amazing for the skin on your face. This little beauty -  Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Face Spa mask helps tired and stressed out skin leaving it smooth and rehydrated. 

Boots - £1.29

I absolutely swear by this body detox brush. First off it helps fade stretch marks and improves the cellulite on your body if used every day. By brushing you get rid of all the impurities in your body.

Boots - £4.99 

A face scrub is a lovely way to refresh your skin and it really does improve dull skin. Its perfect if you feel as though your face is abit tired looking as it revives it looking much more radiant. This Vitamin E face scub is rich in Vitamin E and is high in antioxidants which defends the skin. 

Superdrug - £2.99

 

Okay so there we have it, all the products i would recommend using for under £20 to create the spa experience. Of course you can use other  brands if you are not on a budget and what you feel you need at that time. Adding a few candles will help you relax and even playing some music will make you fully appreciate your pampering time.
