THE PLANTUR 39 REVIEW

Happy Sunday Everyone! I have a little bit of exciting news today which I will share at the end ... #suspense! But for today's post I thought I would tell you about a purchase I made a few weeks ago. Now before I picked this up I looked all over the internet for reviews but there was nothing! And so I put it off for a while, but I was in Boots a while back and thought I would take the plunge! The Plantur 39 range is aimed towards women and for hair over fourty but that wasn't going to stop me trying it! If I'm completely honest I don't think its a miracle product for me, but I can't say it doesn't work. My hair has become very brittle over the years, mainly because I used a lot of heat without any heat protection and also a load of products on top ... which obviously didn't help. If you're looking for thickness I would say this isn't something for you but I can say my hair feels fresh afterwards but then again I would expect that from a normal shampoo and conditioner! I'm going to finish what I have and see how I feel before I know whether I'm going to buy it again or not but at this point I wouldn't ... #sadface!

We'll begin with the Shampoo, First of all can I say the packaging is amazing, it has a little clicky thing at the top that opens it up ... I have no idea if that makes sense haha, but it's so easy to use! The shampoo itself is a gel like texture which I haven't really come across before, it lathers up beautifully which is something I always love in a shampoo. I don't know if its just a placebo effect kind of thing but it always feels like it works better? Does anybody else feel the same? Another thing I really like about the shampoo is the scent! It just smells clean, fresh and clean!

The conditioner is a bit weird ... I really don't like the packaging for this, one thing I can't be doing is faffing about when I'm in the shower. I don't mind so much when I'm having a bath but sometimes you're in a rush, you know? The lid on the tube is quite stiff? It might just be mine but I don't get along with it. Something else which feels a bit off is the formula, its very runny? Normally the conditioners I use are quite thick but this feels quite watery so I tend to use more than I should. Although it does leave my hair feeling very soft, so that's a plus!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! If you guys have tried anything from the Plantur range or anything similar, leave a comment below! Now for the news! I tweeted out the other day that this month there will be a new series launching on my blog! Due to a very busy week this has been delayed slightly but only by a few days! So please stay tuned! On the first Friday of every month I will be posting The Insta-Diary! I love how tight the blogging community is and so I thought it would be a nice way to show you guys what I've been upto! It's something I've been thinking about for a while and I really hope you guys will enjoy it! Hope you guys have a lovely week and I will see you next Friday for the very first Insta-Diary!

THE BURT'S BEES WILD CHERRY LIP BALM

Happy Sunday Everyone! Today I'm back with a review on what I feel is an every day essential! Whenever the seasons change my lips seem to go super dry and flaky, I've tried a lot of lip balms before and for ages I used Vaseline and Calmex. Although I used them for a while neither had the results I was looking for. A few years ago one of managers recommended Burt's Bees. Compared to other balms these seemed to be a little more expensive but I can honestly say it is definitely worth the few extra pennies! I've picked up quite a few different ones, Grapefruit being the one I use the most but the other day I was in Boots and I spotted the Wild Cherry Moisturising Lip Balm.

So I've been using this for about a week and a half and as I said earlier, for me lip balm is an everyday essential! I have to say I still prefer my Pink Grapefruit Refreshing Lip Balm but I don't regret buying this one. The scent is amazing which is always a plus for me, I mean who doesn't love a good smelling lip product? Also I like how the balm is transparent, I think the first one I ever bought was the Pomegranate one and it left a hint of colour on my lips, kind of a 'your lips but better', It's doesn't have a lot of colour pay off, just a sheer tint. After a few uses I can say the balm is definitely moisturising and you can feel the difference after a few days. I found the lip balm to be quite glossy and it doesn't instantly sink into your lips, so if I'm heading out I'll blot it a little with a bit of tissue. Just enough to take away the shine but making sure you're not removing the balm itself. You can also use it as an overnight treatment which I think works really well, I tend to use a Lush Lip Scrub to remove any dead skin and then pop on a good amount of the Lip Balm! By the morning my lips feel super smooth and hydrated!

Hope you guys enjoyed this little read! Let me know if you want a review on any other lip products, I'm always on the hunt for new things to try out, just leave a comment below and I''ll do my best for you! Hope you lovely people have a beautiful week!

THE TOPMAN MESH CAPE

Happy Sunday Everyone! If you guys follow me on Twitter ... @primalmajithia ... you would have seen that I tweeted Topman about one of their capes, The mesh cape! I saw it a while ago but like always I saw something I wanted and my bank balance didn't agree! And then when payday came around it was out of stock! Don't you just hate it when that happens? Anyway I thought all hope was lost because, well, they didn't even tweet back! They had a lot of other capes available but my heart was really set on this one. And then one magical night I was mooching around the Topman app and ... It was there! Without a second thought I added it to my bag and waited for it to be delivered! I can tell you now it is definitely going to be a summer staple!

 

I am in love with this beauty, It took a little getting used to because I've never really wore anything like this and I was a little worried about what people would think? But then I wore it with this outfit and ... I felt amazing! I think it is so important to feel good in what you're wearing, much more important than what people have to say. As long as you feel good in what you're wearing it's going to show from within you! I'm wearing my black ripped jeans that featured in 'The Burton Denim Haul', an oversized plain white tee from Asos and on top the all important cape! I've put some close up shots below of the outfit.

I've looked since buying the cape and it looks like its out of stock again! But I'll leave links to everything else below! Hope you guys enjoyed this post, I always feel a little odd when I put up pictures of myself but as I said I felt good and I wanted to share it with you guys! I love fashion and so I want to start doing some more outfit posts, let me know what you guys think?!

THE YANKEE CANDLE - ALOE WATER

Happy Easter Sunday Everyone! I'll be at work when this goes up but I hope everyone has an amazing day filled with lots of love ... and chocolate, of course! Haha! As spring has now arrived I wanted to get some candles that had a fresher spring-like scent. I have a few candles left over from Winter but they all have quite a heavy scent. I read online that Yankee had released their Spring collection and quite a few caught my eye! Today I thought I would tell you about the Aloe Water candle I picked up. The first thing I want to say is how gorgeous the colour of the wax is! It's a beautiful soft pastel green, my room is mainly white and grey with some mixed metal accessories and so I can add little pops of colour and generally most colours go really well with the rest of my room! But I just think the green feels so fresh and bright. As the name suggests the candle has pure and natural extracts of Aloe Vera, I've never had the chance to smell the actual plant so I was a little unsure as to what the scent would be like, but honestly it smells amazing! I can't really describe the scent other than saying it smells super clean and fresh? Which I know sounds weird but it was exactly what I was looking for so I had to get it! If you guys have a chance to try this I would definitely recommend it, so nice for this time of year!

Hope you guys enjoyed this little post and hope you've had a lovely Easter no matter what you got up to! Let me know if you guys have picked up any candles recently or any from the Yankee Spring collection! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave your comments or blog posts below!
