Moroccanoil Volume and Style Travel Pack

Moroccanoil Volume and Style Travel Pack
To put it simply, I have been wowed by the Moroccanoil Volume and Style Travel Pack*. In fact, I don’t have anything negative to say. Knocking all other volume hair products off the shelves, Moroccanoil have hit the nail on the head and offer the perfect combination of products in this travel pack, to create full-bodied hair without weighing it down. Make space in your beauty cabinet ladies; this is a set to add to your shopping list.
Who knew that a hair oil could leave your hair feeling and looking like it has been blow-dried?! I had read a couple of reviews on this little bottle of oil, but had never been won over. But, boy, this oil gives incredible results. The light treatment instantly absorbs and helps to control fizz, detangle and leaves the ends of my hair feeling extremely silky and shiny. This treatment is formulated with Moroccanoil's signature ingredient, Argan Oil. This powerful antioxidant and UV protector is rich in vitamins, which help to strengthen and condition from root to tip and helps to restore shine to dull hair. I also have to mention that this little glass bottle will last a long old time, you only need to use the smallest amount.

The Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo & Conditioner does exactly what it states on the bottle. Working in combination, these two products cleanse the hair whilst adding extra volume. Unlike other volume promising hair products I have tried, Moroccanoil offers volume from the roots without weighing it down, or leaving your hair looking fluffy. The lightweight formula is super nourishing and smells simply divine, leaving the hair silky soft and more manageable. It’s safe to say I have a new favourite shampoo and conditioner and I will without a doubt be repurchasing careless of the price tag.

I for one am not a huge fan of hair spray. But this non-sticky and weightless spray offers shine and hold. Formulated with rich Argan oil, this hairspray holds your style without that crunchy feeling. This miniature hairspray is the perfect size to throw into your clutch bag on a night out. 

This travel pack is available to buy online here for £33.85. The price may seem a little steep, but you can’t put a price on shiny, silky and healthy hair. Plus the products come beautifully packaged in a turquoise croc effect wash bag. This set would be the perfect holiday hair care companion. I’m thoroughly impressed.

Olivia Burton Big Dial Mink & Rose Gold Watch

Olivia Burton Big Dial Mink & Rose Gold Watch

Let’s all take a minute to appreciate the beauty of my new watch courtesy of Olivia Burton. I had been searching for the perfect watch for months and swooning over several on my Pinterest and Instagram feed. But then I spotted the Olivia Burton Big Dial Mink & Rose Gold Watch and it was perfect. 

I’m a lover of rose gold (who isn’t?) and the soft vintage hue of this Olivia Burton watch won me over. The textured mink pale leather strap, paired with the large rose gold plated dial, creates a classic and classy watch that can easily be worn with any outfit. On the underside of the dial, the words ‘Olivia Burton London’ have been embossed along with the little bird motif, making it all that more special. 

I ordered the OB Big Dial Watch online from Topshop. I used a Topshop gift card I had received at Christmas from my boyfriend’s parents and at the time Topshop were offering free express delivery (winning!). The watch was originally £75.00, but after I had used my gift card, it cost a very reasonable £50. The watch came with a 2-year guarantee and arrived in a cushioned watch box and ever since has become a firm favourite of mine. If you are considering buying a watch, I highly suggest you take a look at the Olivia Burton range, the watches are substantially more affordable than the likes of Daniel Worthington watches and are simply beautiful.

Worth The Hype? Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Benefit are known for their extravagant PR campaigns, fun packaging and in my opinion two main products; Hoola Bronzer and They’re Real! Mascara. I for one was never a die-hard fan of the ‘cult’ They’re Real! Mascara, but when I heard about Benefit's latest release 'Roller Lash Mascara' earlier this year, I was instantly intrigued. This mascara claims to be a ‘super-curling & lifting’ with a brush that ‘grabs, separates, lifts and curls’ and I’ve put it to the test and the verdict is in.

Benefit never disappoints when it comes to packaging and this mascara is no exception. The wand is plastic (my preferred wand type) and has been designed to copy the performance of Velcro hair rollers. The wand is flexible, gentle and curved with small rubber hooks. On the inside of the curve, the bristles are short and on the outer edge the bristles are longer, which help catch every single lash.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara



Application is effortless and the design of the brush allows you to get really close to the lash line. You only need a couple of coats to achieve separated, defined, lifted and super long lashes. However, it is worth noting that if you apply too many coats, it does have the tendency to go a little clumpy - less is more ladies! It claims to be water resistant, which I would agree with to a certain extent. I for one wouldn’t go swimming whilst wearing this mascara, but it does stay put after a tear or two, or when your eyes for no apparent reason start watering. In terms of volume there are better mascaras out there, but it does give the illusion of a fuller lash line and creates the perfect wide-eyed look, that I love. 

Usually when I first buy mascara I prefer it once it has dried up a little (I know I’m not the only one), but the formula of this mascara from the first application was an absolute winner! Benefit are right, you don’t need eyelash curlers and the formula is ink black, doesn’t flake or smudge and is really lightweight. But the one thing that really sets this mascara apart from any other, is the fact it really does hold a curl and last all day and I’m talking a good ten-hour shift! I thought it would be hard to remove due to its long lasting properties, but with a little Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad it was easy peasy.  

I’ve heard that this mascara was four years in the making and it’s safe to say that Benefit has hit the nail on the head with their latest release. I highly recommend you give this mascara a go. You can buy it online here for £19.50. I’ve certainly been hooked since purchasing it.

Have you tried this mascara yet?
