Hair | Elnett Heat Protect Styling Sprays

L'OREAL ELNETT HEAT PROTECT STYLING SPRAYS IN VOLUME & WAVES £5.99 EACH

So, after seeing these on offer at 2 for £9 my curiosity got the better of me and I purchased the Volume and Waves version. I have thick hair, and there is a lot of it so after the first day of washing it lacks in volume thanks to the weight so I'd been looking for something to keep it big and voluminous. In terms of waves, I love curling my hair, but again thanks to the weight it drops quickly and I look the momentum. So how did I get on?

Volume
This is probably my favourite of the two and the one I've used the most so far. After towel drying my hair I spray this into the lengths and roots and massage in before combing through. Then blow dry. Once done it's instantly noticable for me that my hair has great volume and frizz seems to be lessened as well which was a nice surprise. So the next day my hair still looks full of life and volume without the help of my Batiste, and still the next day. It lives up to its three day promise.

Waves
I use this the same way I use the volume one so I won't bore you with that again, but when I'm finished blow drying there are waves and curls in my hair that aren't usually when I blow dry normally and again, less frizz. When I curl my hair as well they look more defined and keep their bounce for longer. It doesn't seem to keep its three day promise in terms of keeping them in tact, but it does keep them a lot longer than usual.

Overall these are a great addition to my bathroom closet! I will definitely be repurchasing the volume spray, maybe not the waves one however as I think I achieve the same look with a normal hairspray, but this does have the added protection against heat which my hair definitely needs. It doesn't make my hair feel dry or brittle like other heat protectors, my hair stays feeling soft and healthy.

Ok, so rounding off one of my longest ever reviews - I do really like these, volume is definitely my favourite and most used out of the two and I think they are just really great hair products at really good value for money!

Review | Nearly Naked

REVLON NEARLY NAKED FOUNDATION IN NUDE £8.99

So, number three on my drugstore foundation hunt is new launch from Revlon, and something that's been getting a lot of love on the blogosphere, Nearly Naked Foundation. I caved to the hype and thought why not! Plus, it was only £6.99 on offer in Superdrug so it fell into my shopping basket...

So, it's a very lightweight foundation that provides a medium coverage that is very buildable and natural looking. Nude is one of their more pink toned foundations (finally!) and is the closest match I have found for my Clinique Stay Matte foundation. It's so easy to apply and absorbs really well.

It doesn't break me out even though it's not specifically an oil free foundation and it doesn't dry my skin - so it's already beating Rimmel Match Perfection and Bourjois 123 Perfect - still one more foundation to try but so far this is definitely my favourite and I would definitely repurchase. It's very natural looking, not naked of make up but definitely a lot more natural then others I've used.

Any cons? One - the fact that it's a poury bottle. Although this doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I did think it would be incredibly messy and I'd use too much or not enough, but so far I think I've been lucky and there hasn't been much waste at all! So overall - LOVE this foundation. I would go so far as to say this is my favourite drug store foundation. Yup, I said it! But like I said, still one to go!

Any other drugstore foundations you think I should try or you'd like to see me review?

Review | Bourjois Rouge Edition Shade 17

BOURJOIS ROUGE EDITION LIPSTICK IN SHADE 17 £7.99

When these were first reviewed on a load of blogs before their launch I was immediately intrigued. And full of lust for many of their different colours. When I finally went to Boots to buy a couple of shades I went to purchase shades 11 and 18, and instead came back with 4 and 17 - bit of a difference!

So this is shade 17, it's a gorgeous pink that's not too bright, and not too nude. It's just right! It's a lot more pink than in the picture, it's got a lovely rose colour to it that I just love. Now, this colour has quickly become my all time favourite lip colour very quickly.

The formula of the lipstick is really nice. It's very creamy as it goes on and it stays for a good hour. So not the longest lasting, but easy to top up and the colour pay off is really nice. The tip is pointed to negate the need for lip liner with this product.

I do really like this and I can't wait to show you shade 4, or to get more of these as I think they are a really nice lip product and I would definitely recommend heading out and picking some up while they are on offer in Boots for only £5.99!

Review | Sleek Aqua

SLEEK AQUA COLLECTION EYE SHADOW PALETTE £7.99

I won this palette in a Twitter giveaway a couple of weeks ago and I was really excited to give it a try. I hadn't actually seen any of the colours so it was like a Christmas present!

I know it's part of their new Aqua Collection and I think there are some other really great pieces in the collection such as a blush and nail varnishes as well.

Now, I'm not a bright eyeshadow kind of girl - so if I'm honest most of these colours don't appeal to me. However, there are definitely some I will use. For example, I've already used Sea Shell, a bronze/gold quite a lot and Oyster, the white, for my inner corners. Black Pearl is great for a black smokey eye, but with different eyeshadows to this.

The eyeshadows themselves are really great, really long lasting and so easy to apply. I would definitely want to try another one of their palettes as I really do rate the quality of this product - but I am more of a neutral girl!

Any Size | Leather

This week is another trend that's meant to be huge for spring, and the first in a while that i've not featured in! I asked you guys on Twitter what themes you thought I should do and this seemed to be a popular choice so voila! Any Size - Leather!

Again, no size 14 - please let me know if your this size and want to feature as I could do with more bloggers of this size!

size 8: Katrina from Carousel Diary
Spring shorts and leather in one go! Not only that but she's thrown in a gorgeous monochrome shirt to boot (slightly in love with this). Love this look on her and it's a subtle leather!

size 10: Laura Kate from Lolacolakate
Leather trim is definitely a way to do leather if you're not fully confident in a full leather item. It's a gorgeous skirt and the leather adds that extra chic feel to the entire outfit.

size 12: Hollie from H0lliedays
A classic leather jacket is definitely a safe way to try the leather trend and it never fails to look chic and stylish. I love this outfit and definitely on a hunt for a leather jacket now!

There isn't an Any Size next week, but it will be back the week after! Let me know if you have any suggestions for themes as well!

How would you style leather?
