What am I using Now.....

This post is long overdue! I should have done it last Saturday after being tagged but due to lack of time and laziness I opted out. After a recent reminder here goes...

Hair-So I crossed over to the dark side at least 14 years ago, that’s the side of chemically processed hair lol. Yes I rock a perm and I’m proud as I have recently been converted from habitually adding hair extensions- WHAT A FEELING!

Shampoo - I am currently toying with different shampoos at the moment as I refuse to buy any more until I have got rid of the dregs in my numerous bottles at home. It is a combination of Aphogee shampoo for damaged hair (although my hair is not damaged) and Porisity Control Shampoo.

Conditioner- The most important element to any woman’s hair regime! There are two phases to my conditioning treatment, the first being Motions Critical Protein & Treatment Conditioner recommended by my hairdresser. It has a combination of 15 African herbs and prevents breakage. I then sit under my hooded dryer for a deep steam. Phase 2 consists of Motions Moisture Plus conditioner, which I apply abundantly. I almost drown my hair with this stuff and wash it off after about 10-15 minutes.

Styling Products-

Body- Sanex or Original Source shower gel (the mint or lemon flavour)

Moisture- I used to use the Body Shop’s body butters but they are too tief! As well as Palmers Coco Body Butter as I tend to get dry skin but I have found a cheaper alternative which does exactly the same thing which is Hollywood Beauty Cocoa Butter.

Deodorant- The cheapest going (thank the lord for Pound land). At the moment I am using Radox Daily Elements as well as Vaseline Intensive Care deodorant…

Perfume- Sean John Unforgivable Women, J’Adore and Chloe.

Sun Care N/A... I know ignorance is not bliss.

Face-If I had a pound for every product I have used to get that “perfect complexion”. I have tried Clinique’s 1, 2, 3 range, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Dove soap. I am finally content with Superdrug’s Tea tree facial wash and facial scrub.
I then tone with their tea tree cleansing and moisture lotion.

Moisture- My face tends to get quite dry so I use Dermatologic E-45 cream in the day and at night I use Holland and Barrett Vitamin E-Oil.

Mask- I’ll give anything a whirl (probably not wise).

Lip Balm- I used to use Vaseline but have now converted too Carmex Lip Balm.

Make-Up- Phew where to start?!?!? I’m a bit of a MAC junkie and have quite a few products as I love to play up me eyes but I rarely use them.

Concealer- This is a must I use either MAC NW50 Studio Touch up stick corrector or NW50 Studio Finish Concealer. The latter is quite good and is usually enough for me to not need to any foundation.

Foundation- MAC Studio Fix Liquid although I don’t really love foundation as it feels like my skin can’t breathe. It is very rare that this gets used unless it’s a night out.

Blusher- MAC Raizin Matte again this rarely gets used.

Eye Liner- Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Liner, MAC Engraved Power Point Eye Pencil and Rimmels Soft Kohl Eye Pencils in Jungle Green, Black and Denim Blue.

Lip Gloss- MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner, MAC Lickable Crème sheen lipstick and MAC Lip Glass (every woman should own one of these true classic).

Mascara- Maybeline Great Lash Mascara as my eye lashes are quite short so every bit of mascara helps and I find this is one of the few that gives the illusion that I have eye lashes.

Nail Polish- I have every nail colour under the sun courtesy of Rimmels 60 second nail polish.
