AD Gifted Product for my Gift Guide series.
We’ve already had the Under £10 Beauty & Grooming Stocking Fillers post and my Bumper Gift Guide packed with everything from pet-lover’s gifts to gin. I’m back with another gift idea for the hair-obsessed in your life. More specifically, the types in love with colouring their hair! I am definitely one of these people and this would be a great gift if the person you know loves to dye their hair vibrant colours or maintains a glossy dark mane.
There are affiliate links in this post and gifted products from Gallinée.
If you’re a regular around here you will have seen my journey back to my beloved blonde with Saks salon in Newark and I mentioned some of the products I’m using to keep my hair damage-free and the lengths stronger. I’m loving the products mentioned in that post for my breakage issues but I’ve got a few other products to chat to you about from a brand I’ve only used skincare from before, Gallinée. Gallinée is the world’s first skin and haircare line dedicated to the health and wellbeing of Planet You. Let’s talk about skincare for your scalp.
This post was going to be my May favourites but I didn’t quite get around to sorting my life out so it’s a general summer-themed jumble of some products that I’ve been loving recently and wanted to share! There’s everything from tan to library books so I hope you enjoy!
1. The blonde booster
Does anyone actually ever use that hilarious excuse? Maybe, I don’t know but I might start. I usually wash my hair every two days and then liberally spray my entire head in dry shampoo every other day. I used to wash my hair every day before dry shampoo was a thing and I am so glad we have all moved with the times because I just couldn’t be bothered to wash it every day these days. Sleep is definitely more of a necessity! My Sunday routine often consists of face masks and hair washing (post bathroom cleaning – obviously!).
Curls, waves and beachiness look so great on shorter hair. Long gone are the days when short hair meant that you couldn’t style it any other way than straight. Celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Alba and even Chezza back in the day have all rocked the long curly lob and it’s still super cute in 2017. I love this look and at the moment, I’m not a fan of my hair straight because I’m growing my fringe out and it just stands out too much. I’ve been trying a new tool to help me get this look and I’ve got a little review for you.
It seems to be cold and grey and gross in the UK for so long that when the spring time rolls around and we actually get some sunshine we all freak out and think it’s summer (put those shorts away guys, it’s not warm!). But, it’s still kinda chilly but there are definitely some changes happening with the weather. My skin and hair always go a bit weird when the weather changes, does yours?
October equals autumn and autumn equals new beauty essentials as far as I’m concerned. These are my five fresh autumnal products that have crept their way into my routine for this month. Spoiler alert, I already love quite a few of these so I might just re-use this as my October favourites but don’t tell my blog schedule…
My favourites this month are four special things that have been making my beauty and shower routines feel a little more luxe! It’s always nice to have some luxury in your life and these products definitely have been giving me a little extra in the decadent department.
First up are these Maria Nila Stockholm Luminous Colour Shampoo & Conditioner. These smell fab and left my hair feeling super soft and just clean and lovely. I’ve wanted to try this brand for so long after seeing them all over Instagram, they’re just so pretty and the packaging is gorgeous. I actually won these, luckily, on a little Facebook competition along with a few other products so I was over the moon! I’m not sure if I’d repurchase them yet because they’re quite pricey but I’m loving that I won them. I’d recommend them for sure for coloured hair though because they left my hair in great condition.
A slightly early August favourites coming your way this month as I just can’t get enough of these few things and I know that there won’t be anything in the next week or so that makes the cut like these guys have.
Neal’s Yard & Deliciously Ella – Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash & Moisturiser
I love getting my hair cut, I always visit KH Hair for my colour and cuts and I love when there’s a new product for my stylist, Ruth, to try on me. When I popped in last weekend they had just launched the new Wella System Professionals Energy Code system and I couldn’t wait to try it out.
