Avon Naturals Daily Hair Refresher - Review!

Hi Beauties

How are you today?
 
 

I bought this from Avon a few months ago and hadn't gotten around to using it until a couple of weeks ago. I like to leave 2 days in between each hair wash, as I don't suffer with greasy hair or particularly dry hair its fine to leave it and even some times 3 days. I also don't tend to use a lot of product on my hair as its usually in a messy bun or left down in a slightly soft waves/tousled look. My hair has a natural wave to it, so I do like to straighten it when going out and only then will i use product to style with or if i curl my hair which, is hardly ever at the moment! So because I can leave my hair 2/3 days in between I occasionally get sucked into buying a refresher spray. Just to freshen it up with a pretty scent on day 2. The scent is Cherry Blossom and its very sweet and girly. I actually suffer headaches with Strong scents, sweet and sickly scents or too many scents mixed in (i avoid lush like the plague and only order online a few at a time!). I have to use this sparingly for that reason because it is very sweet but its so beautiful and my hair smells so good when i use it that I cannot not use it. Its a 150ml bottle so you get quite a lot for a small cost, i think i paid £1.50 but i'm not sure if that was on offer or not! I have to say i am always impressed with Avon's hair care, price and quality of the products!
If you love a pretty, sweet, floral scent I recommend trying this or one similar to freshen up your hair after work or if you leave it a couple of days between washes.
 
If you have any tips for refreshing your hair, i would love to hear them :)

Muji Storage - Acrylic 5 Draw Box

Hi Beauties!
 
What a shock that our lovely sunshine has been replaced by rain! I hope you are all having a good week even if the weather is miserable.
 
Today is a review of the Muji Acrylic 5 Draw Box. I decide to order one after seeing various tweets or blog posts etc... mentioning them and I loved how sleek and simple they are and yet stylish at the same time. I went with the 5 draw which, you can view here  it cost £24.95 plus delivery. (I also bought a very boring Jewellery insert tray).

Sorry for the bad pictures, i couldn't get a decent one because of the glare from the light etc... and it was too dark without the light!!
 
 
 
Its definitely worth the money because i have yet to see a similar version/copy for less than £19 on ebay or amazon and that's not including delivery. The quality is really good, as was the Muji service. I received various emails during the processing and shipping stage which took about 5 days(including the bank holiday) as well as a follow up to say it was out with the courier on a 24hr service. It arrived in a big box with lots of packaging. I honestly feel like i have had my moneys worth in product and service. I'm very excited to start filling it with my daily makeup and faves over the weekend.
 
Have you bought any Muji storage? What are your favourite pieces?

BarryM Nail Series - BarryM Gelly Hi Shine NP Dragon Fruit

Hi Beauties

How is your weekend going so far? I hope you have been able to enjoy the lovely weather today! :)

Today's product is the BarryM Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in shade Dragon Fruit GNP 11.

This is a very pretty pink and the colour makes me think of summer, candy and barbie! As i always say i love me a pretty pink polish and this one doesn't disappoint.
I applied two coats as the first wasn't quite opaque and left it a couple of minutes to dry. I love how shiny the Gelly NP's are, how long lasting they are and the amazing quality for the cheap price.
Once it was dry I decided to add a black tip to make it a bit more funky! It's not neat and perfect (I quickly swiped across the tip with a normal black polish in a rush) but I still love the look and finish!
The Gelly Polishes are fast becoming my favourite NP ever and I'm very happy to hear they have released some more colours ready for Summer.

Superdrug currently have a 3 for 2 off on selected BarryM which, includes all nail polish :)

Have a great weekend.
