FRIZZ OFF

BEFORE                                                               AFTER
 
Okay ladies today I'm talking frizz, of the hair kind. I suffer hugely with frizzy hair, in cold weather, hot weather, humid weather... practically all the time really, and since the weather has been ridiculously hot and disgustingly humid in recent weeks, I called upon my ultimate frizz taming product...
 
THE PRODUCT
The product itself is by Lee Stafford and is called Frizz Off- Keratin Blow dry smoothing spray. As we all know, keratin is huge in the hair blogging world, especially for those of you who share the same thick frizzy hair type as me, however I did always doubt the hype...
 
WHEN DO I USE IT?
The product is meant for use on damp or wet hair, to be used before blow drying to aid the drying and straightening processes, which aims to leave you with straighter, smoother and less frizzy hair. However, I found the effects only really started to show after straightening.
 
HOW MUCH DO I APPLY?
I would say apply generously if you have thick hair, 7-14 sprays depending on length as the spray isn't heavy or greasy, but be careful if your hair is thinner as you don't want to end up with a greasy looking blow dry...
 
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
£10.99, so yes it is a little more pricey than similar products by brands such as Treseme and VO5, however if you are looking to buy this product, bide your time, as Boots always has some sort of offer on Lee Stafford products!
 
DOES IT WORK?
In my opinion, yes. But all hair is different so it really does  depend on how your hair decides to behave... as you can see from the before and after pictures (both taken at the end of hot and humid days) you can see the before picture has a layer of 'light frizz' and yet the after picture shows smoother hair with virtually no frizz!
 
I would definitely give this product a go as it really has worked wonders for me in this weather, but if you do think its a little pricey, pop in to boots and see what offers you can grab!
 
What is your hair saviour?

BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

Okay so its my 20th birthday in 9 days... I am mortified to say the least, how on earth did I get to 20 years old already! Anyway, as always I have compiled a birthday wish list of some of the items I love right now, and some bits and bobs I hope to receive for my birthday... a girls got to cheer herself up when her 20th birthday is looming, right?
 
 
PRADA CANDY EU DE NATURAL SPRAY- £39.50- BOOTS
Does anyone have a preference over the original and this natural spray version? I just cant make up my mind! reviews would be helpful ladies :)
 
MICHAEL KORS SUTTON BLACK DOUBLE ZIP TOTE BAG- £330- HOUSE OF FRASER
Before you all gasp in horror at the price of this handbag (as I did), my boyfriend recently bought this for me for my birthday in the House Of Fraser big brand sale with a big discount... I now don't feel as guilty receiving it hehe.
 
LILLI2 WOODEN PLATFORM SANDALS- £25- TOPSHOP
These are reduced from £50 at the moment and I love them! they are so perfect for summer special occasions and are an absolute bargain, im loving the topshop sale right now.. maybe a bit too much...
 
PAVE HEART PENDANT- £6- ACCESSORIZE
Again, the accessorize sale is one you really need to check out, this necklace is half price, and despite looking for a rose gold heart necklace in many expensive stores, I actually chose this one!
 
JET SET LARGE FUSCHIA LEATHER WALLET- £85- MICHAEL KORS
Okay so I am probably going to be questioned as to why I didn't get a matching purse and bag but hey ho, its good to be different. This purse really has it all, it is perfect for holding notes, coins, cards, receipts, tickets and of course random bits and bobs...but obviously the main reason I chose it is because its pink hehe.
 
 NEVERLAND 5PCS PROFFESSIONAL MAKEUP BRUSHES- £5.65- AMAZON
If the blogging world has taught me anything, it is that real techniques brushes are not the be all and end all, in fact these replicas from amazon are a fraction of the price and are likely to perform equally as well!
 
DAZZLING DAISY RING- £45- PANDORA
This is my main present from my mum, ever since the daisy collection was launched I absolutely adored this ring, and don't get me started on the new rose gold collection...
 
CREME SHEEN CREME CUP LIPSTICK- £15.50- MAC
This is my favourite day to day lipstick, and surprisingly it is the only lipstick I have ever used all of and had to buy a new one! It gives a beautiful glossy finish with a touch of pink for the perfect natural look.
 
SMOCKED BANDEAU TOP- £27.99- SUPERDRY
I have never been a huge fan of Superdry as it has never been my style, however since my younger brother has started to take a liking to it, I have accompanied him on many trips to Superdry which is when I realised they do actually have some cute summery pieces that you wouldn't expect, I love the style of this top, it is completely unique and really summery!  
 
 
What have you been loving recently? also what is it like to turn 20? I need some support here! haha :)
