DIY sea salt spray

Instead of paying for one of the sea salt hair spray's out on the market this summer, I decided to make my own. After trying many different recipes, I found a blend that worked perfectly to create some texture in my long wavy hair. Since the tousled, beachy waves is a nice look for the summer (or any season in all honesty) I got some good use out of this, and used 2 batches this summer.

• 1 cup of hot (not boiling) 
• 1 TBSP of sea salt
• 1/2 - 1 TSP of coconut oil (I used all natural, virgin coconut oil)
• 1/2 - 1 TSP of hairspray 
• A squirt of coconut scented conditioner 

Garnier Body Intensive 7days Lotion.

It's starting to cool down from the summer heat, and with that the air gets more brisk and dry. My skin, along with many others, does dry out so much at this time and in the winter months especially. I do usually moisturise all winter long, but this year I decided to go for something thicker for my body. Also, start it during the fall months to prep my skin for the winter dryness. So I've started with the Intensive 7 days Repair lotion for extra dry skin, with Shea butter. There are a lot of claims on the back of the bottle, of results after one use, 7 days use, 30 days use, etc. Apparently "L-Bifidus" is in the formula which is like a probiotic for the skin, as well as Shea butter which is ultra moisturising. So this is a test, and I will do a review at the end of the winter!

The bomb balms

The infamous Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stains. I purchased my first one and since they're raved about by beauty gurus on YouTube, I had high expectations. I bought Rendezvous, which was a bold move for me as I'm usually reserved in the lip department. Oddly enough, I think I could wear this every day. Zoe, or Zoella, inspired me to step out of my comfort zone with this one, and the orange looks great on her so I thought I'd give it a shot! It's quite moisturising, and definitely does not dry my lips up which I do usually have a problem with when it comes to lip products. It's easy to control and doesn't bleed onto my skin around the lips which is also important. Needless to say, I am as impressed as I thought I would be with the product and I will be purchasing more!
