Hair saver, sweet smelling wonder

Hey everyone,


A few months ago I was gifted some hair care products from the team at Neal & Wolf. The reason I have waited so long to blog about these products is that I really put them to the test! I received Ritual - Daily Cleansing Shampoo, Harmony - Intensive Care Treatment for all hair types, and Silk - Smoothing Blow Dry Balm.











Since receiving these products I have used an at home hair stripping kit and then proceeded to destroy my hair some more with an at home hair lightening kit. I know, stupid is not the only name I was calling myself. Needless to say my hair was pretty much destroyed. During all my at home shenanigans I have been using the Neal and Wolf regularly as part of my hair care routine.

My opinion of these products? Brilliant! They worked a treat on my poor over processed hair. The Ritual shampoo was gentle yet effective at cleaning my hair. The Harmony conditioner works great as a daily conditioner, and also as a conditioning treatment. I sat frequently for an hour or more with my head wrapped in clingfilm, so the intensive conditioning could work its magic some more. All the products smelt amazing, even a day later I could still smell the lush scent. I actually got my hair sorted today, thankfully no more awful hair, and the hairdresser commented how good my hair was after all of the damage I had done. That itself is high praise for the Neal and Wolf products.
So thank you to the team at Neal and Wolf for helping me more than you could have realised xxx

Body moisturiser the in shower variety.

Hey everyone,


So I first heard of Nivea's In-Shower Body Moisturiser from my favourite beauty blogger at British Beauty Blogger here, and knew I had to try it. I scoured my local Boots, Superdrug and Savers with no avail, so as soon as it was available online I bought it. 

Nivea is one the first to launch an in-shower body moisturiser, which is quite surprising  that no one has ever thought of that before. Gone are the days of standing shivering wet whilst rubbing in oil, or drying off to then rub a cold cream or lotion into our body's, or even just skipping the body moisturiser stage, which with summer looming is a no no. So Nivea were definitely on the money with this product. 

My opinion is that it's great, does exactly what it says it will do. I admit I was super excited the first time I tried it out. I showered, with Nivea body wash too, and then whist still under the shower I massaged the moisturiser in. It felt slightly strange rubbing a cream into skin when I knew I'd be rinsing it off. Once rinsed off I then dried off. The effect on my skin was that it felt softer after one use. A week later my skin feels softer, with less dry patches. My only issue with the product is actually the packaging. The bottle can become slippery when handling with wet lotion-y hands but this doesn't put me off repurchasing. All in I love this product, so much that it has been re-purchased another twice since. Have you tried it yet? Is there other in-shower moisturisers I can try? xxx
