I have actually featured this shade before, well over a year ago, but its still going strong as one of my favourite shades, so I thought I would give it a second outing.
Orly Sapphire Silk
Although not a unique shade, there's just something about this polish that I love. I'd describe it as a cross between a teal and a denim blue. It applied faultlessly, with two smooth coats. A year later and its still going strong. Definitely one of my favourite polishes.

Lusting over - ghd's NEW ghd Air Hair Dryer

Have I ever told you I have a LOT of hair? and I mean a lot. It also has length, which often gets mistaken for extensions, but no... its all mine. With me having so much hair, one task I don't enjoy is washing and blow drying. It bores me. Its not interesting, its just a chore, so if there is products out there that will speed up this process, I'll invest. Hence me lusting over the ghd air hairdryer.
"She’s got the perfect silhouette; amazing lines and curves in all the right places. She’s the envy of the others – stylish, smart, fresh, cool and commanding. Everybody’s talking about her. The music starts, the lights go down, a hush falls upon the front row. The time has come to make her debut. She strides out, confident and powerful. The flashbulbs are blinding; the applause is deafening. Meet our new supermodel, ghd air."
With a professions strength of 2,100 watts at 240 volts, Im getting the feeling this baby will definitely speed up my drying time. Fair enough, its not the cheapest Hair Dryer on the market, but I can tell the difference when I use a cheap standard hair dryer compared to a more expensive one. Not only is the drying time cut down but the result on my hair is also different. I find I get a much smoother, less static finish with a more expensive product. The fact that this is a ghd product also makes me have faith in the fact that it will be a worthy purchase. They are after all, the company that brought us the iconic hair straighteners, that many of us women love and use daily.
I think my hair would love the ghd hair dryer and it just so happens to be my Birthday next month, lets hope someone is feeling generous eh!
Available from ghdhair.com priced at £99.00

Three shade combinations of four flattering eye shades that blend together perfectly to create the perfect smokey eye. Each shadow is soft and blends with ease. A few shades didn't seem to swatch very well on my hand, but once I used a brush to actually apply the shadows, that's when I noticed just how pigmented they are. The black in particular is immensely pigmented. The palettes themselves are slim and well packaged, perfect for popping into a handbag or for travelling with. Although the palette doesn't seem to have a magnetic closure, Ive done the handbag test and so far Ive had no problems with the palettes opening while in my bag. No brush is included, but then again... do we ever really use the brushes that comes as standard with palettes? Overall Im impressed. The shades are perfect for me personally and I love the ease of having 4 shades at hand, which all compliment each other and blend perfectly.

Umberto Giannini Incredible Body Shampoo and Conditioner

When it comes to my hair, I constantly use volumising products. I was blessed with having a lot of hair, although its really thin and flyaway, so I need all the help I can to create the volume and fullness that I crave.
Umberto Giannini recently launched their new Incredible Body range, a seven-piece collection of volumising products including shampoo, conditioner, mousse, hairspray and setting lotion and I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to give the shampoo and conditioner a whirl to see what I thought.
Ive used a few Umberto Gianni products in the past and a staple of mine is their backcomb in a bottle, so I was eager to give the shampoo and condition a try.
Obviously with most shampoos/conditioners the first thing I notice is the smell. I can actually be put off a product by the smell, without even giving it a try, but luckily both the Incredible Body Shampoo and Conditioner smell divine. A scent that lingers on my hair and just doesn't just disappear to nothing after Ive blow dried it. Results wise, when combining both products I end up with not only soft, silky, gorgeous looking hair, it seems to make my hair thicker and definitely adds volume and fullness. I also find it to be a lot more manageable, probably as its not so limp and flyaway, but a lot more thicker and controllable.
Overall for me it does what it says on the tin. If Im honest I don't tend to use high street shampoos and conditioners as they don't seem to be able to offer me the results I crave, with this though I get the results I like at a nice affordable price.
Available to purchase from Boots. Both priced at £5.29 for 250ml.

The bigger the hair, the smaller the hips. Height, width and fullness are the vital statistics for Incredible body. If you don't have it..... fake it.
