Summer Ready with Yves Rocher

The weather has been surprisingly nice these past few weeks (not that I am complaining) but I would have loved some warning in order for me to get myself prepared and ready. Not to worry because we all still have time to get ready for the 'real' summer months and today I am sharing with you some Yves Rocher products that are perfect for getting you into the mood! 

Yves Rocher Delicate Cleansing Cream - HERE

This is a shampoo for your hair but not really a shampoo if that makes sense? In the beauty world the trend is to use a cleansing cream that works and acts like a shampoo but doesn't foam up because it is there to protect the hair fibres. It is a weird sensation at first because it feels weird to not have a product go all foamy in your hair but after that you do get used it and the cream feels soft on your scalp and more like a conditioner for your hair. I have really thick hair and using something like this worried me but after using a generous amount I found that it cleaned my hair amazingly well.  

Yves Rocher Lagoon Hair and Body Wash - HERE

The colour of this wash reminds me of the deep blue sea and makes me dream about being whisked away to some desert island and relaxing by the beach/pool. It is suitable to use for both your hair and body but I have only used it so far on my body because it smells so good! It is also great for when you go away because of it being multi-purpose. 

Yves Rocher Precious Dry Oil - HERE

This one is for all you tanners out there and sun loves. the precious dry oil is formulated to work with that glowing golden tan. In the oil there is small, fine glitters that help to enhance the skin and give you a lovely illuminating look. I have never been the biggest fan of body oils because they can sometimes feel too greasy and heavy, but this is very light and non greasy. This is also because of the oil being paraben and mineral oil free - great for sensitive skin girls like me! I can just imagine using this on my legs after sitting in the sun to give my legs a super model glow! 

I am also very dark skinned so using this is really nice as it actually shows that I have a tan...

Yves Rocher Rinsing Vinegar - HERE

This is a vinegar for you hair, yes I know bizarre but amazing. As per the instructions you apply this on your last rinse before coming out the shower in hope that it leaves you with a natural shine and not a greasy look. I am pretty luckily to have a shine to my hair after letting it dry naturally but when i blow dry it, the shine is non existence but since using this vinegar my hair after blow-drying has a beautiful shine to it and leaves a raspberry scent to the hair even after your shampoo wears away. 

All of these products are definitely the best things you need to get yourself in the mood for summer and get your hair and body ready for it! All four are also great for taking on holiday with you, like mentioned previously they are multi-purpose but also things that you need after a day at the beach. 

Are you looking forward to the summer?

Can't Get Enough Of: Kaushal Beauty

It has been on my mind forever to write posts about current favourite blogs and videos, but whittling it down to the top 5 or top 10 is very hard, instead I am just going to be picking one every so often and dedicating a whole post to them. This post is purely dedicated to Kaushal a vlogger and blogger that goes by the name 'Kaushal Beauty', she posts a variety of makeup tutorials, hair tutorials and hauls. You watch one video of her's and instantly fall in love with everything about her...

1. She's an Indian just like me, and we Indians have a mutual bond because the things we say are very relate able. I love that she posts GRWM for Indian weddings, as I am always struggling on how to do my makeup most recently I was inspired by this one! I loved her makeup, even though I couldn't recreate it perfectly, I tried my very best!

2. She is the contouring queen! Contouring, highlighting all that jazz goes in one ear and out the other for me, something that I just can't seem to get my head around no matter how many videos or blog posts I read. Kaushal on the other hand, I seem to be able to learn from, maybe it is because of her gentle voice and simple steps which makes it easier for you to understand. She also uses a lot of budget friendly products like the Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow in delicious, who would have ever thought that you can use eye shadow to contour, but it bloody works! I would highly recommend watching this video and you will ask no more question ever again. 

3. Her positivity is insane! I also follow her on twitter (such a stalker I know!) and every day the first tweet that she tweets is a positive thought/feeling and it amazes me that everything she says is 100% true and something we should stick by.

4. She also recently did an interview on BBC Asian Network, and when I heard it on the radio a part of me screamed a little. You can listen to it here and find out more about her, her thoughts on everything to do with life and just have a little laugh!


5. She is just all around amazing, I watch every single video of hers and it puts a big big smile on my face and not a lot of vloggers manage to do that. I highly recommend you check out her links below, but a warning you will be hooked straight away.  Kaushal goes into my category of 'underrated people on the internet' people who aren't given enough credit for what they do and also someone who isn't bothered about the numbers and loves what she does!

Rush Haircare Review

Hair products aren't something that I use very often, but when I do I like to use good ones and ones that I know I can trust. I've recently been trying some products from RUSH and have fallen in love with. RUSH is a brand that has comes from a chain of family run hair salons and with over 60 salons open they really know their stuff and what is best for your hair. They have also recently started to sell in Marks and Spencer's which is great because high end hair brands are really hard to get hold of and been in M&S means it is much easier to get a hold of.

Rush Flex & Form Flexible Hold Hairspray (200ml) £6 -  HERE

You can never have enough bottles of hairspray, because even when you don't think you need it you always do. Sometimes it will be for your hair and sometimes its a ladder in your tights - crisis! The RUSH hairspray is all about creating a flexible and soft feel whilst still making it long lasting. I have always found some hair-sprays eg VO5 to be very damaging to my hair not only do they feel really sticky but my hair feels awful and dry the next day. Whereas this hairspray contains vitamins that help to reduce the damage in your hair and help with split ends. Similar to the root gel that I talk about below it also has a citrus smell that is good enough to eat (please don't). With short hair I love wearing a little plait on the side but it always move around when I used this hairspray it lasted all day and the little baby hairs didn't move around! 

Lift & Defy Root Lift Gel £6 - HERE

This was the first thing I was instantly drawn to it claims to 'provide volume and style support to strengthen the hair'. It is recommended to apply a small amount of the gel to towel dry hair and then blow dry for added volume. 

Upon using the pump the first thing I noticed was the smell - the product smells like a citrus juice in a gel form, hints of orange came through to me as well as being quite floral. Nice smelling products mean good ones right? I applied it into my roots and then turned my head upside down to blow-dry it, there was a little bit stickiness at first but then after a god blow dry it all disappeared into my hair and when I flipped it over my hair was full of extra volume something that doesn't happen very often with my stick straight hair. The picture above shows my hair after being blow-dryed and straightening and there is still volume left in. 

I am extremely pleased with both of these products and think that for the price they are amazing! 

The next thing on my list is definitely the dry shampoo and the volume spray..

Primark Haul!

After such a long time, I managed to make a cheeky little trip to Primark to see what they had on offer and as usual I didn't manage to walk out empty handed. I didn't pick up a lot of things but have fallen head over heels for the things I did find! Some of them are things that I can't stop wearing and using!
