Bed Head - Small Talk

Blah Blah Blah...

That's actually the slogan associated with this Bed Head product, I'm not actually dismissing it!

In fact, after several days' use of this product, I would recommend it to anyone who has a hair type similar to my own (fine, a bit fluffy at the ends, and in desperate need of a volumising lift).


Bizarrely, there appear to be no directions as to how to use this product. I took a chance and applied a generous amount to my damp hair before blow drying it. I'm still not sure if that's what I was supposed to do, so if anyone can enlighten me I would very much appreciate it. However, so far it seems to have worked...

Did it provide a beautiful mane that cascaded down my shoulders like a movie star?

Erm...no!

So, I probably would not say 'Small Talk' did what it says it should on the tin, but it did make my hair feel softer and less knotted, which it usually does as the day goes by.

Also, it has a very sweet blueberry smell to it that certainly can seem a bit sickly - you can smell it all day. BUT, it's not too bad, and certainly smells better than most other products. It will certainly capture the attention of that guy you've got your eye on, as his super sniffing snout won't be able to ignore that pleasant smell that wafts by as you walk past! (Remember: you may have to smell it all day but he doesn't!)

Loula's verdict: Recommended! It's worth a buy if you want a product to soften your locks and supply an attractive smell to your barnet! It's also a very cute purple bottle that brightens up your dressing table...

Loula's Tip: Don't purchase this product from your hair salon! It will cost a fortune!! Instead, get it from eBay. I managed to nab two for the price of one.

Don't buy this product if you are expecting miracles!!

So Simple!

As I have what is known as 'combination' skin, I suffer from both dry and oily skin.

My T-Zone can be a problem!

So, finding a moisturiser that is within my price range and combats both problem areas has always been a tough task.

However, I was recommended by a friend to use Simple's moisturiser. It was a God-send.

Initially, I used the Light Moisturiser but, as that has ran out recently, I am currently using the richer one. Personally, I think both work as well as each other.


If you do purchase either of these, just remember that you don't need to use as much of the rich moisturiser - it could indeed have an adverse effect and make any oily areas worse.

I use after a shower and just before I apply my make-up. I only tend to use it once a day, rather than twice.

Which Lash?

I'm trying to decide which lashes will look best for the wedding tomorrow?

Do I go for subtly sexy with the ones on the left, or opt for dramatic effect with the lashes on the right?


Both products are by Revlon and are of the 'Beyond Natural' edition.
Left: Dramatic X3 Volume
Right: Double Wink

What to do, what to do...?!

P.S. Just to clarify, it's not my wedding!

Pink makes the boys wink...

Right, let me start by confirming that I do not usually buy such extravagantly expensive products but this lipstick was actually purchased for me by MommaBear yesterday.

A special little treat for the wedding we are going to tomorrow.

Now, pink is certainly my favourite colour. And, as you can see from the picture provided below, this certainly is pink!



It is an Estee Lauder product, so it is a little pricey. I'm not sure how much it was as I didn't want to be cheeky and ask MB.


It is called 'Brilliant Pink' and is code Sig 52.

However, it is indeed beautiful and very much worth the price for a special occasion. I'm very impressed with how long it actually lasts, and with some subtle (or even heavy) eye make-up I am assuming it will certainly give my outfit that extra POP tomorrow.

I will provide a picture of me in my outfit, and lipstick, for you to 'make-up' your own mind about whether it works or not.

Feedback is always appreciated!

Welcome!

Hello all.

I think I've pretty much covered what this blog will be for but I just wanted to say 'Hi' to you all.

Like I have already said, everyone is welcome here and I don't want it to be patronising in any way, like many of the beauty blogs/websites out there (I am not an expert in the slightest when it comes to beauty, hair or fashion so hopefully that won't happen) - I just want to share all of my trial and error experiences.

And, trust me, there will be many...

So, thank you for stopping by. I look forward to hearing from you.

Much Loula Love xxx
