HAIRCARE

Nioxin 3-Part System Kit 3 for Colored Hair with Light Thinning

I have been using Nioxin for as long as I remember, first going in to salon when I was at university and then buying their system kits when I realised I couldn’t uphold the price of the treatment in the salon each month, then I stumbled across Nioxin on Gorgeous Shop, for a fraction of the cost.

One of the improved 3-Part System Kits that enable women and men to have thicker, fuller hair without ever compromising on colour, the formulas feature NEW Pro-Shield Technology for enhanced colour protection and colour longevity. Based on an advanced skincare approach, the specially formulated products work as a hair thickening treatment, volumizing and strengthening hair with light thinning.

L’ANZA KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo

I am constantly on the go, which often means I do not look after my hair enough. I am either on the tube in London, on a flight to Sweden or being active in the Lakes. And despite having lots of fun, my hair often suffers! I always have a bottle of L’Anza KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo to hand for the days when I need to feed my hair with goodness.

L’Anza KB2 Complex contains Keratin Protein which heals and strengthens hair. The unique blend of organic botanicals and antioxidant vitamins leaves hair soft, shiny and radiant. L’Anza KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo deeply cleanses your hair of all product build up and daily grime without stripping hair of its natural defences. With keratin bond system 2™ which contains advanced healing ingredients to repair, replenish and strengthen hair. BUY HERE

BODYCARE

Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub

Like with my hair, I also need to spend more time looking after my skin, especially my body. I have never been one for scrubbing and moisturizing (much to the dislike of my best friend who swears by it!) and only as I reached 26 years old did I start getting dry skin on my legs. To combat this I grabbed a pot of Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub.

The formula contains a variety of natural ingredients including grape-seeds, grape-seed oil, Gironde honey, essentials oils of lemon and others. Coarse granules included in this formula exfoliates leaving the skin nourished and smooth. BUY HERE

Natural Sea Sponge Linen Spa Mitt

And to go alongside my Caudalie Scrub, I also popped a Natural Sea Sponge Spa Mitt in my basket so really get use of out the scrub. This product is perfect for at-home spa treatments, using high quality French linen for deep cleansing. The Natural Sea Sponge Professional Linen Spa Mitt is a medium/hard texture ideal for buffing away impurities and dead skin cells to provide soft, healthy skin. I have loved this mitt and it’s one of the best I have tried. BUY HERE

Burt’s Bees Anti Blemish Pore Refining Scrub

And I couldn’t leave my facial skincare out, so I grabbed myself a product from one of my favourite brands Burt’s Bees. The Burt’s Bees Anti Blemish Pore Refining Scrub is a stimulating face scrub that deeply cleanses the skin and removes dirt, impurities and excess oil.

As I am on-the-go a lot I get acne as an adult a lot and this product helps me clear my skin. The scrub penetrates the skin removing dead skin cells and encouraging skin cell renewal for a fresh, clear and radiant complexion! Enriched with Salicylic Acid that is naturally derived from Willow Bark, the scrub treats blemishes and prevents future breakouts. BUY HERE

BEAUTY 

bareMinerals Lash Domination

I’ve never been adventurous with my mascara and tended to always go for the same every time (usually Rimmel) but when I spoke to a friend recently after I’d admired her eyelashes all evening she recommend trying out the bareMinerals Lash Domination mascara. Bloody hell it’s good!! Volume you can see, and power you can feel… The product is a 10-in-1, volumizing, lengthening, thickening, separating and long wearing mascara, complete with ProTwist180 Wand designed to curve around each lash to coat all angles with a deep, luxurious black colour.

Tisserand is another of my favourite brands, and a brand that has helped me through some of my worst mental health crises. I use Tisserand on a day-to-day basis for energy, focus and sleep and this little package from them is the perfect product for dealing with those sleepless night. The collection of pulse point roller balls are the simple steps you need to help you get a good night’s sleep, including 1) Pause Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Orange, Petitgrain and Coriander, 2) Sweet Dreams Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Lavender, Sandalwood and Jasmine and 3) Comfort Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Orange, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang.

Caudalie Rose de Vigne Fragrance

I mentioned Caudalie above, and I’ll mention it again here as it’s a favourite of mine, offering affordable luxury products from head to toe. The Caudalie Rose de Vigne is another great product, a perfume with a sparkling and fresh fragrance, infused with sharp, beautiful notes of rhubarb and the delicate aroma of the Bordeaux vineyard roses.
