Review// Nivea Moisturising Primer

Ever since I saw this product advertised on TV a couple of months ago I have been dying to try it but I was waiting until my Nars primer was done so I could give it my full attention.

I generally don't believe in 2 in 1 products, so when I heard about a moisturiser that is also a primer I was sceptical but excited, becuase lets face it, that would kill two birds with one stone and certainly speed up the early morning make up routine.

As I have mentioned before, I cannot stress enough how important it is to moisturise in order to allow make up to do its job, I also cannot stress enough the importance of using a primer to allow make up to stay in place for as long as possible, I know soooo many girls who dont prime their face before applying make up and It is such a waste, this had the potential to be my dream product, and guess what, it is!

This product has everything you want from it, its light, it drys super fast, it leaves your skin feeling soft, it smells lovely, its cheap (compared to my usual Nars £25 primer) and it lasts.  I think the fact that it is a primer reminds me to use it every morning, I am no saint and there are mornings where I forget to moisturise or I simply dont have time but with this product it just sits with my make up and I never forget to use it, the fact that is dries so quickly is great because I can apply my make up just 5 minutes after I use it.

I got the dry skin version of this because over winter I felt like my face was a little drier than normal and it fixed this issue after about 3 uses which is great.

I am so happy with Nivea, they have always been my favourite brand for moisturisers and I am most definately going to recommend this product and continue to buy it, it has given me hope for 2 in 1 products once again.

This is a must have!!

Review// Catwalk by TIGI Session Series Salt Spray

Festive picture.....love..

I have been a fan of salt spray for a while now, I have very fine and soft hair, which may sound like a good thing, but not for me, I like to wear my hair messy and texturised which for me is very hard to achieve, I like the effortless beach look and my hair is so naturally soft and straight it just doesn't stay.  I have tried a few different drug store salt products and many products that claim to give you the beach effect (I am addicted to dust it which I will blog about one day soon) but it is only now that I have found one I want to tell the world about.

I first heard about this salt spray from the lovely Zoella and when she described it as giving your hair "brilliant texture" I knew I had to buy it.  I got it from Feel Unique for about £13.50 which has actually turned out to be a bargain cause I use it most days and still have plenty left over one month on.  Its actually a little cheaper now, click here to buy.

Basically, it does 'exactly what it says on the tin' it adds lots of texture to your hair allowing you to achieve that beachy wave look, even when my hair is straight if I spray a little on and scrunch it in my hands it gives a nice messy effect.  

What I love most about this product is that it gives volume and texture without making your hair sticky or giving it that 'too much product used' look that I hate.  If i use it right on the root of my hair it has a similar affect to dust it powder.

I recommend this product to anyone with very straight hair who wants a disheveled/messy/beachy look without having to cut choppy layers.  I do not recommend it to anyone who wants that silky smooth shiny hair look.  Go on..Mess it up a little.

If you use this please let me know what you think via comment or Twitter, also I love TIGI so if you have any favourites from the brand share your thoughts.
