Tag | The Liebster Award

Hey everyone, so I was tagged by the lovely Charlotte to do the Liebster award tag thingy :)


Heres a link to her blog:

http://charlottesweb8.blogspot.co.uk

 I'm really new to blogging and things so I'm hoping I'm doing this all right :)


So basically from what I've read if you are tagged you have to answer the questions set by the person you were tagged by and so on. 
It is aimed for bloggers with under 200 followers and you have to tag 10 more bloggers to do the questions you've made up :)
 Unfortunately I've only been on here for a few weeks so I don't know really any blogs so I'm sorry for not carrying this on but I will still answer the questions :)

My answers to Charlottes questions : -

Q - 1. If you could just buy clothes from one shop for the rest of your life where would it be?
A - So this is super hard but I would probably say topshop because I absolutely love all their clothing even though it can be a bit pricey at times /:

Q - 2. All time favourite makeup brand?
A - So this is super hard too and I'm trying to think of the most makeup products I have from one brand but I guess I would say my top three makeup brands are MAC, Collection and MUA I'm sorry I just can't pick.

Q - 3. Who is your biggest style icon?
A - My biggest style icon I would say is Mary Kate and Ashley & Kylie Jenner, all their styles are quite similar and I absolutely love their uniqueness.

Q - 4. Who is your favourite blogger?
A - As I said I don't know many bloggers but I absolutely love Islays blog because her pictures are such good quality and every things explained really well :)
Heres her link:
http://www.islaay.com

Q - 5. What is your  favourite nail polish brand?
A - My favourite nail polish brand by far is Sinful Colors because their really great quality and super affordable, they're only 1.99 how could you pass that up?!

Q - 6. If you had £1000 what would you buy first?
A - I would buy basically everything on my wishlist which is:
  • Topshop Mom jeans
  • MAC lipstick in - Up the Amp & Rebel
  • MAC - Soft and gentle
  • White Urban ears headphone
  • Black buckled boots from Topshop
  • Lemon Yellow jumper from Topshop
  • White Polaroid Camera
Q - 7. If you could have any designer bag, which would you choose?
A - I would 100% choose a Louis Vuitton Speedy

Q - 8. What is your favourite/ most worn item of clothing?
A - This is definitely my denim jacket from Topshop, I literally wear it everyday because it goes with everything and I absolutely love it!

Q - 9. Who is your biggest inspiration?
A - I honestly wouldn't say I have a biggest inspiration to be honest.

Q - 10. What is your dream job?
A - My dream job would be anything to do with photography and taking pictures or anything to do with making things or being creative that is my comfort zone and I feel like I'm at my best when I'm being creative :)

So those are all the questions, thank you so much for tagging me Charlotte this was really fun to do and made me think a lot too! haha :)

Cheap Beauty Buy : Superdrug Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo + Conditioner!!






For my recent holiday my mum and I decided to go into Superdrug to find a shampoo and conditioner to take with us, we went to the shampoo section and straight away I was drawn to the coconut shampoos. Coconut is my favourite scent for anything and what would be better than coconut scented shampoo and conditioner??

I picked up the Superdrugs own brand Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo + Conditioner for 99p each!!! For 99p each I wasn't expecting much at all but I was pleasantly surprised, this shampoo and conditioner doesn't just smell amazing I really saw a difference in my hair which is more than I can say for the more expensive shampoo and conditioners I've tried!!

The packaging isn't the best but what can you expect for a 99p shampoo + conditioner!
Its simple and straight to the point which is good because you don't just buy a product for the packaging you buy it for the product.

I real feel like this product makes a difference in my hair, it makes it smell really good ( the smell is faint and not very strong though) and I definitely feel like my hair is much shinier and feels healthier.
It definitely does what is says on the bottle!!

My only one concern for this product is the shampoo container, to get it out of the bottle you have to pour it into your hand, like any regular shampoo but because the lid is a screw on it makes it a bit difficult in putting it back on. If you are like me and don't have a shelf to put your shower products it can be quite difficult to put the lid back on while having a hand of shampoo and you can waste a bit of the product.
This isn't a very big deal as it is so cheap but as this is a review I have to say my honest opinions of this and what they can do to improve the product.
I really love the fact the conditioner has a pump so I can easily put it into my hand and I wish that they had done the same for the shampoo, but thats my only concern for this product which is quite small!!




Pros + Cons:-

Pros:
- Very affordable
- Does what it claims to do
- Makes hair smell really good
- Gives shiny and the appeal of healthier hair

Cons:-
- You can waste alot of product with the shampoo
- Leaves a faint smell of coconuts in hair

Overall I think this is an absolutely wonderful product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good shampoo and conditioner!
I'm sorry I havn't posted in awhile as I have been on holiday and enjoying my summer!!

Thanks for reading!!
