Primark PS Hair Wax Stick Tame Review

-
Image
If you’ve ever stared down a halo of baby hairs mid photo shoot or wrestled with rogue strands during a slick bun attempt, you’ll know the struggle is real. Enter Primark PS Hair Wax Stick. At just £3.50, it promises to tame flyaways, moisturise and hold hair, all without the faff of gels or sprays. But does it deliver? The packaging is compact, handbag friendly and it gives grab and go energy. The scent is subtle and clean with no overpowering fragrance, which is a win if you’re layering with other hair products. Texture wise, it’s smooth and waxy without being greasy. It glides on easily and doesn’t leave that dreaded sticky residue. Infused with jojoba oil, this stick doesn’t just style, it nourishes. Ideal for dry or damaged hairlines, it adds a touch of hydration while keeping everything in place. I tried it with my signature hairstyle which is a low ponytail which when done on my frizzy curly hair I am cursed with stubborn flyaways and it held up beautifully. The wax offers a g...

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash – A Game Changer for Dry, Sensitive Skin

-
Image
When you’re dealing with dry skin, especially during an eczema flare-up, finding the right body wash can feel like an endless cycle of trial and error. Most cleansers either strip the skin, leave behind a filmy residue, or offer temporary hydration that fades within minutes. But after using Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash, I can confidently say I’ve found something that genuinely works. I first picked this up on a whim after hearing good things about Naturium's approach to skincare, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. But from the very first use, I noticed a difference. The texture is luxurious, a rich, silky oil that transforms into a light lather. It feels more like a nourishing treatment than a typical body wash. What really makes this product stand out, though, is how soothing it is. My skin was going through a rough patch, with eczema flaring on my arms and neck. After using The Glow Getter in the shower, I noticed the immediate post-wash tightness and itchin...

Aldi Lacura Scalp and Body Scrub

-
Image
There’s something quietly satisfying about discovering a product that punches well above its price tag  especially when it’s tucked away on a supermarket shelf. Aldi’s Lacura range has built a bit of a cult following for exactly that reason: affordable skincare that doesn’t feel like a compromise and their Scalp and Body Scrub? It’s the kind of multitasker that earns a permanent spot in your shower caddy. The packaging is simple, no-frills but don’t let that fool you. The texture inside is creamy with just the right amount of grit.  There's no overpowering florals or synthetic sweetness here just a subtle scent that makes you feel like you’ve wandered into a spa treatment room rather than the middle aisle at Aldi. Used on the scalp, it’s surprisingly gentle. The exfoliating particles lift product build-up and excess oil without leaving your hair feeling squeaky or stripped. Massage it in after shampooing and you’ll notice your roots feel lighter, your scalp less itchy especi...

I'm Back

-
Image
Hey everyone It’s been a busy year, full of twists, turns, and a whole lot of life happening behind the scenes. Some days flew by, others dragged, and somewhere in the middle, the blog took a quiet little pause. Not planned, just necessary. There’s been a lot going on — the kind of “a lot” that doesn’t always fit neatly into a caption or a tidy update. But I’ve missed writing, missed sharing, and missed this little corner of the internet. So here I am, slowly easing back in. No big declarations, just a gentle restart. I’ve got a few ideas brewing, some posts half-written, and a renewed sense of why I started this in the first place. Thanks for sticking around — or for popping back in. Let’s see where this goes.

Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint

-
Image
I have been going through all my foundations and tinted moisturisers to work out if they still suit me and I have to say that I have found a few that were totally wrong for me, in both colour and for my skin type (Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder foundation cost me £55 and even though I was colour matched in store it ended up being way too dark for me and also not really suitable for my dry skin). Buying the wrong foundation can be costly, so I definitely need to be more careful going forward when I purchase this kind of product. One of the products that was suitable for my skin was the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint. This product is more like a hydrating tinted moisturiser which gives a blurring effect to the skin. It does state that it is a light to medium coverage, but I didn't try to build it up to medium coverage as I prefer a light coverage that just evens out my skin tone. This product comes in 25 shades and my shade is 5 - Light Medium with Warm Yellow Underton...

JVN Nourishing Shine Drops & Air Dry Cream

-
Image
As a person who has dry, frizzy, curly hair I love the JVN Hair Care Range.  The JVN Complete Nourishing Shine Drops are infused with meadowfoam ester, hibiscus extract, and squalane, making your hair shiny and protected from damage, humidity, and colour fading. One of the standout features is the lightweight formula that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It effectively tames frizz and flyaways, leaving your hair smooth and manageable. Plus, the subtle fragrance with notes of honey, florals, grapefruit, and tangerine makes the application a pleasant experience. I love the natural-looking shine these drops provide and my hair feels healthier and more vibrant with just a small amount of the product. It costs £23 for 50ml which is a lot but the benefits are worth it. The JVN Complete Nourishing Shine Drops are a fantastic addition to my hair care routine, delivering lightweight shine and effective frizz control.  Another of my favourite JVN products is the JVN Co...

e.l.f. Supergoop Dupe - Suntouchable! Invisible Sunscreen

-
Image
I have found a great dupe for the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF30. This product is my absolute favourite SPF as its clear, so its very easy to apply on the go and it doesn't take ages to sink in or leave a greasy residue. It is quite pricey though at £36.50 for 50ml.  e.l.f. have a similar product called Suntouchable! Invisible Sunscreen SPF30. This costs a bargain £14 for 50ml. It has an identical clear consistency and like the Supergoop! product it is not fragranced. This is a multitasking product that also works as a primer, that blurs the skin and works really great under foundation. It feels hydrating and works on all skin types and contains meadowfoam seed oil and aloe. It does contain dimethicone which is a silicone based polymer, so if you are not keen on the slippery feel of silicone skincare products, then this one is not for you. I would say that the e.l.f. product has a slightly wetter feel to it, whereas the Supergoop! product feels more velvety on the skin at first...
