NEW YEAR, NEW MAKE UP

♫ Currently listening to : Turnover - Sasha

I entered 2016 wearing more make up than ever, but that's because I got some great products from Santa. Here are my new favourites: 

WHIRL LIPLINER - MAC
An amazing shade of powdery brown. 

VELVET TEDDY LIPSTICK - MAC
Looks amazing with Whirl.

BROW ZINGS - BENEFIT COSMETICS
I've always been a brow pencil girl, but I've been totally converted to this brow powder and wax kit.

PRO-RADIANCE ILLUMINATING FLASH BALM - ELEMIS
Acts as a moisturiser and a primer, and does exactly what it says on the box. 

CONTOUR STICK SET - KIKO MILANO
Blends really easily.

BIG HAIR, DON'T CARE : Big from Lush Cosmetics Review



My hair is insanely straight. Believe me; I’ve dedicated a lot of time in the past to trying to make it anything other than poker straight. Three hours, a can of hairspray and a good dose of heat damage later and it would look slightly like I’ve fallen in to a bush; but no curls.

Nowadays, I’ve taken to embracing my straight hair. But, if you offer me something that’s going to give it a bit of volume, then I’m going to take it. And that’s what Lush have done in the form of ‘Big’.

Big is a shampoo that’s kind of like a scrub, made of sea salt, seaweed infusion, coconut oil, lime and lemon juice. It’s about £12 for a 330g pot but you really don’t need to use much. My hair is almost waist length and a small scoop is enough for me. It lathers up really quickly and rinses out easily. No repeat wash is necessary.

I finished the wash process off by using some of the Big solid conditioner that I was given as a sample. (This is another thing I love about Lush; they generously give you samples of products they think you might like!)

 If your hair tends to be quite oily like mine, then I can’t recommend this shampoo enough! The coconut oil also acts as a natural heat protection so I was able to blow dry my hair without the use of my usual heat protection spray.

 My hair feels thicker, softer and smells dreamy. I normally have to wash my hair every two days but Big keeps it cleaner for longer.

You can buy Big online, but I highly recommend visiting your nearest Lush store as their staff are so helpful and friendly.
