Hair Care Routine

So when it comes to my hair, I like to look after it like I do my skin. So I go about looking after it in a similar way, I start off by washing it. I only wash my hair every 3/4 days sometimes a little longer, that way my hair doesn't get greasy, it keeps all it's natural oils and stays shiney. If you wash it too much, it becomes damaged, dry and will go greasy every day. The shampoo and conditioner I'm using at the minute is the TRESemmé Silky Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner. I never really use the same one all the time so I'm always switching them up, this is just the one we have now. A good way to keep your hair soft, smooth and nourished is to deep condition it, I like to use a hair mask while I'm in the shower, the one I have been using is the Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask, if you don't already know argon oil is incredable good for your hair so I tend to go for things which include it into them. I only just this once or twice a week at the most. I use it after my Shampoo leave it on for 5-10 minutes then wash it out. Makes my hair feel so much better! Even when I use these I still get split ends so I like to apply serums and oils to the tips of my hair, I love the Pantene Pro-V Split End Serum and the Maroccon Argan Oil, they hydrate and make my hair look silky. I love using products that make my hair shine and look silky because I naturally have frizzy hair, so just before I style my hair I will use the Garnier Fructis Spray on Serum. I love this stuff, it doesn't only make my hair smell amazing, it looks so silky and shiney and healthy. So last but not least, if I ever use heat on my hair I will always use a heat protecter, I can't stress enough how important it is to use this! It stops your hair from becoming damaged from the heat which could lead your hair to snapping and having dry/snapped ends, which is never a good look!

Max Factor 3 in 1 Foundation Review

The actual name to this is Maxfactor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation, which is such a mouthful, but I'm going to start off by saying I absolutely love this foundation! It's amazing.. I originally bought it because I was running out of the Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation and I can't find it anywhere to repurchase, so I thought this would be something similar, but no, it's better! 
The coverage on this is amazing, it doesn't need building but if you wanted to you defiantly could without it seeming cakey or thick, the colour match is really good. Normally they seem too pink on my skin but this doesn't, it seems to blend into my skin really naturally and doesn't seem like I have a lot on when really I do. 
It lasts such a long time, you don't need to apply a primer or anything before hand because it already has it in it, it so easy to work with, it doesn't take a lot of effort to blend in or anything so doesn't take a lot of time. It doesn't move around on my skin, if you have oily skin you may need to powder but I don't have a problem with that. You can tell it has concealer and primer in with it because it looks flawless. 
The bottle is glass, and it comes with a pump (which is always a good thing in my eyes!) it doesn't pump out to much of the product either like some pumps do. It has an SPF of 20 so will be good in the heat, but not so much with flash photography, I bought mine at superdrug for £10.99 i think? However, I couldn't be happier with it, I think I have found my number 1 foundation. 




If you haven't tried it already, then I would defiantly recommend you too!
