Friday Favourite # 1

I thought I’d do a quick post regarding my Friday Favourite.  I keep seeing lots of bloggers showing their favourite items on a Friday so thought i would tag along for fun. 

Ever since I started using my Macadamia Healing Oil Spray at the beginning of the year my hair has been nothing but soft and smooth and just so lovely.  The kind of hair which you just want to touch constantly!

This product is a miracle in a bottle.  It is a ultra fine mist which rejuvenates, moisturises and makes hair more manageable.  It just makes your hair feel more healthy and nice basically.  What I love the most is the shine and softness of the hair.  Every time I use this I feel like I have been to the salon to get my hair professionally done.  It feels luxurious!

Even though it is an oil your hair will not feel oily after using it.  The mist is so fine and it is absorbed into the hair very fast – there is no lasting residue. What I usually do is when my hair is towel dried I spray over my hair concentrating on the mid-section and ends.  I then blow dry and style with my GHDs.  Once I’m done I spray over the hair again.  I also spray it into my hands and rub it into the tips of my hair so they get a little extra TLC as that is where my hair tends to suffer with heat damage.

 

You can buy Macadamia products on Feelunique.  Hope you liked my first Friday favourites :-)

Gold by Giles Pleasure Highlight Stick

I've been sucked in by the New Look Gold by Giles Collection again.  You can read about my first purchase here.
 

My second purchase is a highlighting stick in the shade Pleasure.  When I bought my first goodies in June I saw this then and I loved it but I said to myself . . . no!  But the next time I was in store I just knew it had to be mine.  I mean it is only £3.99 it’s hardly an eye watering price tag! 

The product itself is a lovely pearly pink shimmer.  New Look stock two different shades this one and a bronze shade.  The packaging is a little cheap looking but I feel considering how inexpensive the Gold by Giles Collection is that doesn’t really matter.  But I do like the fact the packaging is like a large lipstick, it twists and up it pops!!!

So on to the swatches:

Swatches: natural light and flash

I think this reflects the light beautifully, catching the light and not looking too glitter ball like.  It gives the perfect sheen to the skin.  Depending on how much you blend it out you can have full on highlighter or subtle sheen but it does the job perfectly.  I recommend warming the stick up first as it can be a little hard.

I’d totally recommend having a look at the Giles collection.  Certainly his eyeshadows and the highlighter.  For an inexpensive brand I think it’s brilliant!!!

Hello!! What has happened to you??

I've owned my Botanics facial brush for a while now.  I purchased back in May/June as I blogged about it here.  Now seeing that I only purchased it three, well nearly four months ago - the wear and tear has been a little rough to say the least.

Oh dear!!

It seems after only three months my brush has had its day.  Some of the bristles have gone flat and seem to have parted down the middle of the brush.  I've noticed as well that since this has happened I don't feel like my face gets the full benefits like it used to when it was brand new.

When I first started using it - I felt like this really did exfoliate my face and make it feel really soft.  It is a shame really that this has happened as I quite liked using this brush as part of my daily routine.  Now I feel as though it ready for the rubbish pile or cleaning my bathroom tiles!!!

Have you had any product let downs?
