Reseed Haircare

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are well?

I have come across a new hair care range called Reseed. 

Reseed are a hair loss brand which focus on 3 main things:

* Prevent further hair loss

* Restore hair follicles to their normal function to promote & support natural hair growth.

*Strengthen weak & dormant follicles to regrow healthy hair, helping to reverse the effects of hair loss

Their products are formulated with the purest ingredients such as clean herbal fragrances. They are also not tested on animals or use ingredients that have been either.

I got from them a shampoo & conditioner to try.

Ginkgo & Sabal Fortifying Shampoo 

Packed with pro vitamins & minerals this is a ultra nourishing shampoo which contains active ingredients to cleanse away substances that can block your hair follicles. It also restores the hairs structural fibres. The Ginkgo Biloba extract revitalises hair while Sabal extract promotes hair growth. It is also packed with antioxidant vitamins, it strengthens hair & prevents hair loss. 

Wheatbran Ultra Volume Conditioner

This is an advanced ultra volumising formula to help densify, thin, damaged & dry hair. It's enriched with herbal proteins to strengthen hair, also combined with UV filters & colour protecting vibrancy. It's a deeply hydrating & nourishing to prevent hair breakage. The conditioner leaves your hair feeling strong & healthy. 

Both the shampoo & conditioner smell lovely & leave your feeling clean after them. The other great thing I do like is the fact they are not heavy products & do not leave your hair feeling horrible after using them. As some products can leave your hair feeling unwashed.

Sensationail Gel Nails

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are well?

I am such a lover of gel nails. They are so much better than normal nail polishes I think. They last longer unlike normal nail polishes which seem to chip after just a couple of days! I find that so annoying. But with gel nail polishes they can last up to 2 weeks & it is just as easy to do yourself!

I came across Sensationail in Boots before picked up the pick to read but I will admit I put it back down. Simply because I was trying to be good in what I am spending money on at the moment.

Sensationail is the leading at home gel manicure brand. It allows people to create their own Gel nails in the comfort of their own home with salon quality results that are also affordable! 

You can purchase from them a starter kit which includes everything you need to start. Plus you also get 10 applications out of the kit. It includes the exclusive pro 3060 LED lamp which is designed to safely & quickly cure your gel nail polish. After the kit has gone you can simply purchase the essentials kit & the colour of your choice & you are all good to go again!

I have the Raspberry wine shade which is a darker pink shade. It is gorgeous.

Inside the box you get:

*Pro 3060 LED lamp

*Gel cleanser 

*Gel Primer

*Gel Base & Top coat

*Gel Polish 

*Lint Free Wipes

*Double sided nail buffer

*Manicure stick

*Detailed instruction sheet

After you have had the 10 applications you then simply look at the range of gel polishes they offer & pick one. They even do glitter colours which are gorgeous!

I found the kit easy to use & they polish lasted for just under 2 weeks! Which is great! It means not having to change your nail colour every couple of days. For anyone who hasn't tried a home Gel kit I would really recommend it! It really is life changing.

You can find the starter kit & colours at:

Tranquil Beauty Review

Hello Everyone, 

Hope you are well & having a good week?

Recently I have suffered again with another cold & cough. I seem to get them quite a lot recently. I'm not sure whether it's the change in weather or whether it is due to being run down. I am hoping it soon passes.

So I have been trying to do things which help relax me & feel better. So when I come across the range for Tranquil beauty I was sold!

Tranquil beauty are a small business based in Suffolk. They produce high quality bath, spa & beauty products which help comfort & relax anyone. I am a such a lover of bath's they literally are my answer to everything so when I saw their bath & relax range I wanted to see more.

The first thing I got to try was:

The Bath Bomb Collection

This is a gift set made up of 8 bath bombs which are beautifully individually wrapped. There are 4 scents so you get 2 of each:

*Coconut - For rejuvenation 

*Rose - For a scent of romance 

*Lavender - For peace

*Mint - For a pick me up 

They are also natural, cruelty free & vegan friendly. Not only that but they help with deep muscle relief which is perfect after a busy week! The scents of them are so lovely! Bath bombs are always a great way to help to relax I find so these are perfect for that. Plus these ones smell incredible! You literally are spoilt for choice with them.

Cellulite Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient chinese therapy which is used to create a vacuum to help target problem areas. It helps stimulate the skin through deep massage. They help to drain & break down toxins built up over time, stimulate blood circulation. You have to ensure that you use the cups in the bath, shower or with a massage oil or cream. You get with the set two different size cups depending on what area you wish to use them on & depending on the person also. As one cup would not be suitable for all. 

To use them:

*They can be used on legs, thighs, hips, glutes, triceps & neck

*Only use up to 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week

*Apply massage oil or cream to the area or if using while showering use soapy water.

*Squeeze the cup to remove any air, then firmly press against the skin before releasing the skin to fold

*Move the cup in a figure of 8 around the area but be sure not to leave it in the same place too long as it can cause bruising.

I did think these would be hard to use even though I have done massage before when I qualified as a beautician. So these really can be tried by anyone.

Superdrug Health - Discover A Healthier You

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are well & your week is going good?

So far this year I have been changing my eating habits & have been eating a lot healthier. I wouldn't say I am the worlds worst eaten because I am really not but I wanted to just improve on what I eat. So I cut out & changed a lot of things & I have to say I am feeling better for it. Who knew meal prep could be so fun. I am not kidding you!

Anyway Superdrug have been doing a campaign called Discover a healthier you which has suited my changes perfectly! They have been showcasing their healthy range from vitamin tablets, healthy snacks, to foot care products. 

So I was sent a few products to try from them which suit me perfectly!

The products I got were:

Some Body - Sweet & Salty Popcorn 

Somebody is Superdrugs new health & wellness range which contain a range of products such as protein powders to snacks on the go. I have also had a thing for popcorn & never until recently have I realised it isn't actually that bad for you. It is low in calories & a great on the go snack which tastes amazing. So these packets that they come in are perfect to take to work or pop in your bag for on the go.

Some Body - Protein Bars 

From the same range as the popcorn these protein bars come in different flavours. Caramel Crisp & Chocolate & peanut. These are a great snack to have on a day when you are going to the gym or working out. They are a great source of protein not to mention a treat. I have to say they taste amazing!

A-Z Multivitamins - Strawberry flavour

Making sure you get your correct vitamin intake is important. The multivitamins contain zinc, vitamin C & D & help contribute to the normal function of the immune system. These vitamin tablets are also gummies which are easy to chew & taste lovely which helps as you wouldn't even know you are taking vitamin tablets with these.

Foot Purifying Sock Pack - Charcoal

These foot socks contain Charcoal powder which help purify your feet while coconut oil & vitamin E help to soften dry, rough & cracked heels. Which this time of year your skin is drier than normal. These are a great boost to help improve your skin & are easy to use.

Foot Nourishing Sock Pack - Marula Oil 

These foot socks contain Marula Oil & Vitamin E which help to nourish & moisturise your feet. Along with a tropical fragrance. Not only that but 15% of the price of this product goes to Marie Curie. Which I think is amazing & an reason to buy this on it's own.

Check out Superdrug's website to find out more about the products & also about all their other products in the Discover a healthier you.

Beauty Stocking Filler Idea's

Hello Everyone, 

So we can definitely say now that Christmas is nearly here! 

Where the hell has time gone?! I just can't believe how quick Christmas has come round & where this whole year has gone.

I have been looking lately at the best kind of stocking fillers fro Christmas. Stocking fillers are the perfect way of giving a beauty lover a stocking full of lots of little beauty pieces. Who wouldn't love that right?

So I am going to give you some perfect beauty stocking filler ideas!

Missguided - Babe Power Rollerball Perfume

I had never smelt the Missguided fragrance until I got this & I have to say I am in love with the scent! It is a sweet smell just like candy floss. Plus this is the perfect size to carry around in your handbag & top up on the go. It also comes in a gorgeous rose gold casing. 

Missguided - Instant Feels & Vibe Enhancer Body Mist 

Just like the Babe Power scent these two are gorgeous scents. They are subtle yet so lovely. The perfect light fragrance. The packaging also is gorgeous & makes it look colourful & stand out. They are a great scent to spray on once you have finished getting ready to ensure you smell goods.

Sensational - Peel Off Polish

Sensational have just released their first collection of peel off polishes. They are water based colour, high gloss & peel off which makes it super handy! It dries in minutes & doesn't damage nails. It lasts for around 1-2 days so handy when you want to change your nail colour quick.

Be Glow - Skinsense Sonic Cleansing Brush

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are okay & having a good week so far.

The countdown is definitely on now to christmas! The christmas shopping is going well which is always a good thing.

A perfect christmas gift idea I came across for skincare lovers is from Be Glow.

Be Glow have 2 products the Tia or the Pura which are both skincare gadgets.

I have the Pura skinsense sonic cleansing brush & since I started to use it I would not use anything else to help when I cleanse my face.

Cleansing is a vital part of a skincare routine & this makes it more enjoyable & easy. Not only that but it makes sense it deep cleanses your skin which you cannot do just with your hands. 

The Pura removes impurities and make up residue more effectively. It is a small size which is also perfect for traveling as it also comes in a pouch to carry. It has two pulsation rates so you can awake your skin in the morning & then soothe it at night. A full charge of the Pura lasts 6 months which in itself is impressive!

The silicone brush head is replaceable which makes is hygienic & easy to clean. The head is advised to be replaced one a year. 

I could not believe how simple it was to use & how soft & clean it left my skin feeling after using it even for the first time.

You simply:

*Apply your cleanser to your skin 

*Press the control button to start the skin sense. The pulsation starts when the brush touches your face. So just adjust it to your wish.

*Press control button to enter the standard cleansing mode.

*Rinse & dry your face & ensure the clean the head after use.

I really have been so impressed with this little pocket size gadget. It leaves my skin feeling soft & so clean after use. Which you do not get when you just simply use your heads to cleanse.
