July Favourites

Hello everyone, hope you are well!

Here are my July Favourites, apologies for being a tad late but better late than never!
Most of the products are hair products as I have been working on getting my hair healthier.

 (Taken with Canon A3300is)

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream 150ml
I use this after I've washed my hair and after using my Aussie Leave-in Conditioner. It helps to make my hair soft and more manageable. I have also noticed that it stops my hair from looking so frizzy too! This product has raspberry and silk extracts and smells incredible!!
It retails at around £4.79 but it is currently on offer in Boots (view offer)

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Intensive Mask 200ml
Along with the other Spit End Protection products by Herbal Essences, I started using this Intensive Mask at the beginning of July and have to say my hair has improved so much! I have mentioned to you before that I prefer to use masks as I feel my hair needs more of a deep condition than what I get with a regular conditioner. I think this product is a must have! It is one of my top favourite hair masks! This product retails at £3.49 but is currently on offer in Superdrug (view offer)

Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Overnight Creme 120ml
I bought this at the end of June and since then I haven't stopped using it! It works really well on my hair and makes it feel really soft. I apply the product onto towel dried hair and leave it on my hair for the night, when I wake up the next morning my hair is so much more manageable and doesn't get knotted together as easily as it usually does! I will be doing a full review on this product so I don't really want to say too much about it here! This Overnight Creme retails at £4.99 but is currently on offer at Superdrug (view offer)

OXY Seaweed Power Fresh Skin Wash 150ml
You have probably been expecting this to be in my favourites since I did a full review on it which you can read here. I like how clean my skin feels after I've used it, the tiny microbeads help to work deep into the skin. This product is high quality and really inexpensive, for £5.99 you can't go wrong!

Soap & Glory Hand Food 125ml
I have been trying to grow my nails recently so as well as trying out hardening polishes I have been using hand cream more often to see if that helps them to grow. I love the smell of all Soap & Glory products and this is definitely no exception. The smell is amazing! This hand cream costs £5.00 which to me is very reasonable! I will definitely be repurchasing this!

Primark 'Tangle Teezer'
This 'Tangle Teezer' is brilliant, it cost me £1.50 and does a really great job of getting out knots in my hair without tearing. It is suitable to use on both wet and dry hair, I have been using this instead of a wide tooth comb since I got it. I think it works so much better than a comb. You can read my full review here.

I would love to know what products you were enjoying last month! Let me know in a comment!

Primark Tangle Teezer Dupe?

Hello everyone!

The weather hasn't been great lately so yesterday my boyfriend and I took at trip to the World Museum in Liverpool and obviously I wasn't going to leave Liverpool without having a nosey around the shops first!

When I was in Primark I noticed this brush sitting on the shelf and it reminded me of the famous Tangle Teezer, so I bought it to try out! I have been wanting to try a Tangle Teezer for a while but feel the price is a little excessive for what it is! It is around £10 so instead I paid just £1.50 for this one!

If you haven't heard of the Tangle Teezer before, it is basically a specially designed brush for de-tangling your hair even when it is wet and in its most fragile state!
I have never used the original Tangle Teezer before so I can't really compare the two products but I feel that this could be a good dupe, maybe?

This is one of the best products I have used to brush my hair through whilst it is wet! I usually use a wide-toothed comb, but I have to say this feels better for my hair as it doesn't tug or pull as much as a comb does. This brush can be used on dry hair also but as I have curly hair most of the time I don't brush it when it's dry otherwise my hair would turn into a frizzy mess!

The teeth of the brush are different lengths and are spaced out across the brush. They are very flexible which helps to stop hair from snagging. The brush fits perfectly in your hand which helps to give you more control and care when moving the brush across different sections of hair.

Unlike the original Tangle Teezer that comes in many colours, this brush from Primark only comes in two colours - pink or black, but still at £1.50 you can't go wrong!


I would love to know if it is as good as the Tangle Teezer! Have you tried both? Let me know!
