Naked Shampoo and Conditioner.

This is my favourite shampoo of all time, it is the best. If your hair is limp, dry and frizzy get your ass to Boots and grab some of this, pay for it obviously but grab it nonetheless.  As a brand I feel Naked are so underrated,  the packaging is nothing glamorous and  this might throw people off but you should never judge a bottle by its cover.  The produce is 97% natural, so natural goodness for your hair. Those that are fans of Lush should check Naked out, or check it whilst Naked...in the shower.

Boots usually have deals on the range, usually around 2 for £6.00.  Still relatively expensive for shampoo but the products last a while and leave your hair feeling lovely.  I have never known a shampoo and conditioner to last me this long, I realised whilst living with four other girls that I go through shampoo and conditioner like a crazy person.



Naked Rescue Intense Care Shampoo: This is the old faithful of the hair care world for me, the perfect shampoo for my hair type (thick and dry) and it smells great - 'sweet almond and sunflower'.  You can smell it on your hair the next day, and I live in a smoking household so that shows how good it is.

'Extracts which work really hard to help improve the appearance of split, snapped and frizzy hair'.

The shampoo leaves the hair silky smooth and rather sleek if I am being honest.  I find my hair holds its straightness for longer also. So this might be something that would work great for those curly haired girls out there.

Naked Style Miracle Worker Leave in Conditioner: 

Oh how I love this product.  I've heard a few people rave about fudge dynamite, this is my fudge dynamite.  Unlike the shampoo this is the first time I have tried the leave in conditioner, I usually go for the matching conditioner but I decided to kill two birds with one stone for a change. I had planned to buy both a conditioner and intensive hair mask but Miracle Worker saves you some work.  When I first tried it I made the rookie mistake of using too much of the product which resulted in greasy and weighed down hair.  It does say on the back to use a little amount - stick to this instruction.  I have long/thick hair and I only need a tiny amount. Do not put any on your roots either, just the lengths and ends of your hair.  If you have greasy hair you could stick to just applying some on the ends. Unlike other leave in conditioners I have used this one does not leave the hair feeling sticky, it does add a little weight to the hair but does not weigh hair down the way that you might think it would. I have also noted when washing hair that my hair does not always feel like it needs conditioned, my hair no longer has the frizziness it used to have.  The product clearly holds to the hair to keep the hair in top shape.  This product would be a life saver for anyone who lives in a warm climate or is planning to go on holiday.

Beauty Bargains for £1.00



1. Nail Polish Remover - Boots - £1.00
2. Boby Lishuss! Body Butter - Poundland - £1.00


1. I ran out of nail polish remover and being the lazy bitch that I am sent the manfriend to get me some before he visited - fair deal I think.  I used to use Cutex nail polish remover all the time but it can be quite expensive at £3.00> for a bottle so being a skint student I started just using Poundland's cheap nail polish but to be honest it is not very good and I felt it dried my nails out quite badly.  The Boots nail polish remover on the other hand is very good and competes well with the branded Cutex.


2. I received this as a graduation gift from my best friend who works in Poundland and so far I have been impressed.  Like the nail polish remover I used to be a bit of a snob with things like this and would only buy Palmers Cocoa Butter but I am starting to learn that when it comes to some things you are just paying for the name since the ingredients are basically the same.  


The moisturiser is a little bit more orange in tone than traditional cocoa butter and I think it has a more vanilla scent too but overall is is lush.  It smells great and it leaves skin soft like it should and I think it has been doing a not too bad job on the resistant stretch marks also. 


For a £1 each you can't really complain.

Loreal Elvive Re-nutrition Replenshing Mask - Review

I picked this up the other day when I was in Superdrug buying the exciting item of cleansing wipes.  The previous night had been a bit stressful to say the least so when I seen the Loreal Replenishing Mask for £2.99 on the sale shelf I picked it up.

I have used the Loreal Elvive shampoo quite a few times over the years - a variety of different ones but the one with royal jelly is the one my favourites.  It just smells so good but not in a fruity way that most shampoos do.  This smells almost sophisticated.

The re-nutrition range is for sufferers of dry hair and for me it is perfect.  My hair is very much damaged through dying and straightening it - it is rather limp due to the thickness of it too.

To use the mask you just squeeze out excess water from washing it and then cover your hair or just the ends - I smothered it all over.  I advise if you have long hair tying your hair up whilst it is on your hair to stop it from coming off.

Afterwards hair is beautifully soft, almost as if you have had a hair cut, it really does revive the dry ends but does not weigh them down.  Hair is left super shiny too. 

I have known people to use the nutri-gloss mask (the pink bottle) too so I assume this is also a good mask.  Sometimes you will get a buy 2 get one free offer in Boots or Superdrug so you could pick one up for free more or less.

After checking the boots website the now I notice they have this exact deal on - 2/04/12.
