Chunky Heeled Sandals - BooHoo

Ah, my new favourite shoes! I simply adore these sandals! I picked them up from BooHoo a few weeks back. I sadly didn't get to take them on holiday but I have managed to wear them out a few times before saying goodbye to them till next Spring. They'll be a full post on them soon!

Pug Pillow - Tesco
A pug. With a bow tie. On a pillow. Need I say more? I just had to have it!

One Tree Hill Complete Box Set - Amazon
Ok, hands up who used to watch this? I thought buying the box set was a brilliant idea now James has gone back to uni.. I need something to watch in my spare time!

Vanilla Body Butter - Boots

I took this to Greece with me & now every time I use it now I'm home, it just brings back all the memories of an amazing holiday. Such a gorgeous scent.

Orly Nail Varnishes - TK Max

These Orly nail varnishes have to be my find of the month. The beautiful blue polish is stunning on the nails but I found the glitter top coat quite runny, but in proportion they are both amazing. I think I got them for around £3.99 as opposed to around £10 in TK Max.

Nail Art Pens - Ebay
Such a bargain! I bought these a few weeks ago & have yet to use them but they were between £1-2 from Ebay. Perfect for adding those intricate details to your nail art.

Express Nail Polish Remover - Boots
I'm actually so excited to try this. I wear a lot of glitter top coats on my nails & scrubbing them with nail varnish remover & a cotton pad doesn't exactly do them much good. I bought it in the Boots clearance section & have seriously high hopes for it.

Strawberry & Pomegranate Shower Gel - TK Max

Another Summery scent, but this shower gel doubles up as a bubble bath. The only down side is it doesn't foam up very much, but I'm loving the pump feature. 

Mango & Mandarin Candle - Matalan

Summer is almost over & as we're coming into Autumn, I'm finding it very hard to let go of the sunshine & holiday spirit. This candle is all about the memories. It was around £4 in Matalan, total bargain.
 

Wella Hairspray - Boots

I remember using this hairspray before I went on to L'Oreal a few years ago, but as it was on offer & I needed one for holiday, I picked it up. It's ok, but does set your hair if not sprayed very finely & away from your head.

The Tangle Teaser

Hey lovelies,

 

I thought I'd show you one of my latest purchases, the Tangle Teaser. Most of you have probably seen that I've recently had my hair ombred. I did have a slight bit done on the ends of my hair last August, but in January, I decided to take the plunge & go three-quarters blonde! I'm not going to go into the ombre-ing routine as I'm sure you all know what it is, but for those of you who don't, they bleach your hair. It basically removes all the colour from the hair, leaving it a light blonde (sometimes yellowy) colour depending on how long the bleach is left on. Obviously doing this makes the hair very brittle & you have to take extra care of it. I've found as well, blonde hair is a lot more knotty & gets tangled easier. Does anyone else find this?

 

So, anyway, after a couple of weeks of my new hair & after splitting ends, knots & bits snapping off from using a normal hairbrush, I decided to invest in the Tangle Teaser.

 

I've heard so many good things about this product, it was hard not to resist after the promise of; de-tangling hair easily, teeth that bend on knots so not to rip hair apart, stress-free tangle removing that doesn't pull on hair leaving it with split ends, can be used on dry or wet hair & (not that I have extensions) but can be used on them too.

After I wash my hair, it's so tangled even after conditioning it because it's so thick.

 

I start to work the Tangle Teaser through my hair, one side at a time.

 

 

I absolutely love the shape of the brush, it's so easy to hold.

One side done..

 

& finished!

 

My hair is still uncontrollable at times, but this brush does help to rid it of tangles & knots.

 

The cheapest one I found was £9.95 on Amazon & they come in a range of colours, but alternatively I know Boots do them online & in store for £10.99.

Have you tried this brush? What did you think?
