The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 & Retinol Serum 0.2% review | Acne Prone Skin
Monday, 23 August 2021
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was on a journey to take better care of my hair to try and repair some of the heat damage I’ve caused myself over the years (see here). After some extensive research and watching @hasinikay talk through the ingredients in haircare products on TikTok (I highly recommend checking out her channel) I decided to cut out silicone from my routine. I had heard so many good things about the Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food products due to being made up of 98% of natural ingredients whilst also being silicone free (yay) so I had to give them a go.
Each of the Garnier Hair Foods masks* have three different functions. A condition, rinse out mask or leave in conditioner. Personally I only ever use masks as exactly that as I find this leaves the best results, my hair also gets greasy very quickly, so it doesn't mix well with leave in treatments. I opted for this mask first as it was specifically for damaged hair. After using the Papaya mask for a couple of weeks, I can't rave about it enough. It has definitely strengthened my ends and given them the nourishment they were crying out for. I have heard quite a few people say they don't like the smell, but I think it is divine! I was originally using it twice a week, but I have had to cut this down as my hair gets used to products quite quickly and the results become less prominent as time goes on.
Let me know your thoughts on these masks in the comments, or if you have any other recommendations!

THE ORDINARY HYALURONIC ACID 2% + B5 & RETINOL SERUM 0.2% REVIEW | ACNE PRONE SKIN
Like most people right now, I'm a little obsessed with Zara. They recently had a big winter sale with items as low as £1.99, and I couldn't quite believe it! As Zara is so popular, their sizes sell out so quickly, that I have started to browse the Zara app as part of a daily ritual. Can't miss those bargains now, can I! My daily scroll ended up with me adding items to my basket, and before I knew it, I had an order confirmed. To my surprise, it was delivered the next day (I had only selected standard delivery)!
Crop tops are staple in my spring/summer wardrobe as they're so easy to style (see below). I picked up a ribbed tank top in black and beige for just £4.99, which in my opinion is a total bargain for the quality! You can get this in a range of different colours that are perfect for spring. Product code - 3253/306
I also grabbed two v-neck crop tops in black and sand as they're super comfy to lounge around the house in, especially now that's where we spend most of our time…! You can pick these up for £5.99 each. Product code - 0962/332
Zara's entire seamless range is an absolute dream, so I couldn't pass up on this gorgeous khaki green ribbed halter-neck top for £9.99! You can also get this in black, grey and mink (they're already in my basket - oops!) Product code - 1014/417

Valentine's Day is slowly approaching, and you're wondering what you can gift your significant other, friend or even yourself. I am a big lover of perfume as it makes me feel confident, fresh and ready to start my day. But perfume is more than just a scent, it can trigger memories in any moment, leaving you reminiscing about happy times and evoking thoughts about your loved ones. That's why it's the perfect gift for somebody you love.
One of my all-time favourite perfumes is Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue*. My mum always used to buy this whenever we went on our family summer holiday, so I always think of her when I smell it. I often find that toilettes aren't as long-lasting as a parfum, but this is surprisingly the opposite. It has a lovely, strong, fresh scent that can last throughout the day. It is very noticeable, so if you're looking for something more subtle, this might not be the one for you. This is on the pricer side, with the smallest bottle (25ml) setting you back £45.00.
