Holiday Hair Heroes

In a massive panic that my suitcase was over the 15kg luggage allowance on my recent holiday, I pulled out all of my larger toiletry items, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, you get the gist. I my mad panic I left myself no other choice than to buy everything in Boots at the airport, What an absolute life saver!

I always try and look for 'moisturising' or 'nourishing' hair products, especially due to all the damage it would get from the sun, sea water and chlorine, as I'm a total water baby on holiday.

I picked up amongst other things, the L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary oil nourishing shampoo and conditioner and I'm so glad I did. I really didn't have any high expectations of either product, especially due to the salt and chlorine damage that would get my hair everyday but I don't know if I've ever had my hair feel softer or sleeker, never mind on holiday!

With the formula aimed at dry to very dry hair, it left both mine and my sisters waist length hair feeling very nourished, soft, shiny and almost effortless, which is exactly what I want on my holidays. There's nothing worse than having to battle on for a long time in the heat with hairdryers and straighteners, for it to be stuck to your face, frizzy and an utter mess, which I completely know from past experiences.

The John Freida frizz ease perfect finishing polish is already one of my hair essentials for leaving my hair frizz free and smooth, so combining these products made for an absolute holiday hair dream. On my next holiday I don't think I'll even consider anything else!

Origins original skin renewal serum

Origins is one of my favourite skincare brand, as it seems to suit my skin type and texture as my skin is quite sensitive. I've added the Origins original skin renewal serum into my daily skincare routine, AM and PM, but especially in the morning.

I really like the fact that this is a serum aimed at twenty-something skin, and not age-defying or spot targeting, like many skincare products tend to be. It can be used both in the morning and evening to help de-stress skin, smooth out roughness, delete dullness and minimise pores.

I've used this product for over a month now, and I'd say I'm about half way through the bottle. The product is very light in texture and has an almost gel like consistency. You can't really feel it on the skin as it sinks in in seconds, so it works provides an excellent base for make-up. 

It leaves my skin feeling smooth, hydrated and gives an added boost of radiance. I'm really liking the results it is giving me, so fingers crossed it keeps up to the good work.

The packaging is slim and not bulky, unlike a lot of other skincare products on the market. One pump dispenses the perfect amount to cover my entire face with none to spare.

It doesn't come that cheap at £32 for 30ml, but if it is providing my skin with a healthy glow and keeps my skin as clear as possible I'm all for it.
