Hello Lovelies!
Today for day 4 of Blogmas, I thought I would share with you a lovely hair mask which I bought whilst I was in the US last month. My hair has been feeling really dull, dry and just literally in a bit of a damaged condition due to excessive use of hair straighteners and having it coloured!
So last month for the first time in years! Yes this is a HUGE deal, I decided to go without the straighteners for a whole month, as whilst I was in Florida I knew that the heat and sun would damage it even more!
It was difficult to start with this ban, but then I just got used to not using them! When I went back to my hairdressers she actually remarked on how much better my hair was and I actually went a little bit darker for winter, so hopefully that will help to strengthen it until I decide that I want to be blonder again! Which will probably be extremely soon!
However I used this Bumble and bumble Creme de Coco tropical-riche masque along with my Kerastase shampoo and conditioner, and it honestly really did improve my hair!
It felt soft, silky, full of moisture and actually like it was alive. The smell is yummy, I'm obsessed with coconut scented products so this definitely ticked the scent box.
You only need about a walnut size, and you apply it for 7 minutes. You do this once a week after shampooing. However I recommend that if you're not doing anything and can brave the cold weather, that you try and keep it on for as long as possible as this really delivers a deep conditioning treatment.
I really recommend this hair masque if you get the chance to try it especially if you have really dry hair because it does work plus it makes you feel like you're on vacation!
Do you have a favourite hair mask?

Good day Lovelies!
I'm honestly having trouble to get over the fact that there's one week left of September! Where has this month gone?
I've recently done a little bit of travelling and whilst I had a lovely time, my skin's feeling in a little bit of a state. Hot sunny weather mixed with plane journeys has definitely dried out my poor dehydrated skin. So I knew I needed a skin saviour to make my face perky once more. When I saw this Coconut Face Mask in H&M I couldn't resist it. Something about the coconut scent reminds me of holidays and beaches (probably because it smells like my favourite suncream!). What's best is that it contains coconut and shea butter and is a moisture mask which claims to cleanse and moisturise your face.
So in my puffy eyed state I applied a bit of my favourite Caudalie grape water and patted it dry. I always do this with any face mask as I find it helps my face masks apply easier.
Then I applied the creamy white mask which glided on so easily and smelt fantastic. This mask is meant to stay on for 10-15mins whilst you can just relax.
Whilst waiting, I did wonder how well a 99p mask from H&M would fare. It began to dry on my face, like my face was absorbing the mask, so I stayed with it and once the time was up I washed it off.
Well the verdict! This mask was actually pretty good. My face felt really fresh and glowy. It's definitely refreshed my complexion, leaving it full of moisture and soft to touch. It looks a million times better and the scent was just too yummy for words.
I highly recommend this, if you're after a fun little face mask which will actually work. It's great value and you could easily get two uses from the packet.
I can't wait to try their other flavours in their face mask range!
Have you tried H&M's face masks?
