John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner

Hi everyone,

I am one of those people that is constantly changing the colour of my hair. In the end it's left feeling way to dry. I was never one for bleaching my hair but lately went for blonde (which really wasn't my colour!) to brown to ombré to getting highlights. Probably not my best move in the hair world. So after all this my hair was very damaged. I was searching for something cheap and something I knew would do the job. Then I came across John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner.

The Packaging:

(Excuse the chipped nails)

How it looks:

The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell. It is so fresh when applying to your hair. As soon as I put on I knew this would be something that worked. It's thinner than a normal conditioner and can also be runny but this is something I was to worried about.

After using it my hair instantly felt softer and healthier. I left this on my hair for two hours just to make sure it really worked and it was a success. If you are like me and are a crazy hair-dye addict who needs something to help dry hair I couldn't recommend this enough.

The conditioner itself costs a little over €7 for 150ml in superdrug. In my eyes it's great value as it does exactly what its supposed to do. You couldn't ask for anything better!

Is there any hair masks or deep conditioners you are using that you would recommend?

Let me know in the comments if so.

What's In My Makeup Bag?

Hi everyone,
Today I'm not exactly feeling the best (boohoo) so I thought I'd just do a small post about whats in my makeup bag. Also yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to buy my new camera, which I got way to excited about I might add, so pictures are much clearer!

My make up bag:

I go through phases with makeup bags and always end up buying new ones when I don't need them and just end up with way to many, but recently my sister went to South Africa (lucky thing!) and brought back this one! I think it's so cute and such a good size for my handbag. Well done Sara, good choice!

Inside the bag:

Since this is only for when I leave the house I only put the basic things in it.

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation - I'm always changing my foundation because I'm never fully satisfied with most of the ones I buy but so far this is my all time favourite and I have already repurchased it. It makes skin look so fresh and awake and smells devine!

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer - When using concealers I try to pick liquid ones instead of sticks because I'm not a fan of dragging it across my eye. I'm pretty pleased with this concealer and it covers dark circles and spots and matches in with my foundation perfectly.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara - I actually got this free because I spent over a certain amount on rimmel products and I'm pretty glad I did. It doesn't clump and spreads eyelashes out making them look so much fuller.

Rimmel London Match Perfection loose Powder (no link available) - I'm not going to say much about this because I've only got it but so far so good and no complaints.

Benefit Dandelion Blusher - This is one of my favourite blushers and I've had it for so long and barely made a dent. My favourite thing about it is it's not that bright so if you only like a light colour on your cheeks this is the blusher for you!

Essence Kajal Eye Pencil - I only use this on my bottom lash line as I prefer liquid liner but the colour works and it's super cheap too!

Vaseline Cocoa Butter - At the minute I'm using this lip product as my other one ran out but the smell of this is just so nice and leaves my lips super soft!

So that's all the basics in my makeup bag and until I did this post I didn't realise how much Rimmel products I use!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what was in my makeup and let me know whats in yours.

OOTD - Zoe's Confirmation

It's been a rather busy week in the Rochford household, first a graduation then a confirmation. Busy, busy, busy!

(excuse the terrible lighting in the last picture, I was being rushed out the door when these were taken.)

Dress: I bought my dress in a small little shop in town called ViVi but sadly the shop is no longer there. It was €30. As soon as I tried it on I knew I had to have it!

Shoes: My shoes were bought in Pennys (Primark to most) and were €18. These were the comfiest shoes as they were a wedge and I felt they gave the dress a summery look.

Bag: I've had this bag for awhile and I didn't want to go buy a new one so this little one was handy. I bought it in Pennys and was €9.

The day was absolutely brilliant and I'm sure my sister couldn't have asked for a better day!

My cousin has taken some pictures and when I get hold of some I'll add them to this post.

OOTD - Sara's Graduation

Yesterday my Twin sister graduated from a childcare course she has being doing all year so me and my family went up to see her. We were all so proud. (Go twin!)

I didn't really know how fancy/casual it was going to be as it was only small so I decided to go for a mint and cream striped dress.

The dress and bag are both from Primark. The bag was €13 and I can't really remember the price of the dress but I think it was around €17. I decided I would keep my make up rather subtle and just did a brown smokey eye. Nothing to hectic. Then I just painted my nails a mint colour using a brand called W7. I'm not sure where you can get this brand as they sold it in a shop that's no longer open in my town.

We had such a lovely day and went for dinner in a restaurant called Luigi Malones in Tembar, Dublin. The food was so nice and the staff were so friendly. I would highly recommend this place! After this, we headed to the college Sara was in and watched her graduate.

It was such a lovely day and hope to have another one like it soon.

How I've been spending my day #1

Is anyone else in complete shock that it's May already or is that just me? It feels like 2013 has just started but instead were halfway through the year already. Anyway summer has finally arrived and thankfully we can ditch our winter rags and whip out our summer wardrobes.

So today I had no idea what was going to happen. Me and my friends had planned to go a forest where we live as it's so nice when the sun is out. Those plans didn't exactly work out so instead I spent the day with my family. My sisters confirmation is coming up and the dress I ordered didn't live up to expectations so there was a hunt for a new one in store.

Since the sun was shining there was only one thing to do, soak it in sitting outside the pub! (Typical Irish.) After this a Chinese was in order and it was a perfect way to end the day.

Did anyone do anything interesting with there day?

Benefit Wishlist #1

One of my favourite things to do is go online and browse through endless amounts of make-up. What would make it even better is if I could afford most of it. I decided to do a small wishlist of my favourite items so far.

1. Brow Zings Brow Shaping Kit

2. High Beam Complexion Enhancer

3. Benefit Erase Paste

4. Peek a Bright Eyes

5. Stay Don't Stray

When doing this post I realised most of the things I wanted were for the eyes. Concentrating on the eyes is always my favourite thing to do as I feel it makes whatever look you are trying to do. Bright eyes are a look I always try to create when I go out, so this is why I choose this look.

Is there any benefits products that you are loving at the moment? If so let me know.

Also don't forget GFC won't be around for much longer so make sure your following me on bloglovin with the link below.
