NEW Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures Collection

That's right ladies - Garnier have bought out a NEW collection in their ever so popular Ultimate Blends range!
I have been a fan of the Ultimate Blends products since they came out last year - another affordable haircare brand that's good on both my hair and my bank balance, yes please!
Seeing the new Honey Treasures collection named "The Strength Restorer" whilst being in the process of changing my hair (involving alot of bleach) seemed like a god send!

There are 4 products in the Honey Treasures range - a shampoo, a conditioner, a 1 minute treatment and a serum. The products were on offer so, of course, I picked up all 4, which actually only came to about £10 - bargain right?
It is said to be for fragile hair, prone to breakage - which is me down to a tee at the moment, healthier and happier hair is my aim! 
I have used the Herbal Essences honey based range (Bee Strong) a lot and love the affect it has on my locks so trying out another hair range with honey in it made me super excited!

The shampoo and conditioner smell great! I have used them around 3 or 4 times now and have been pleased with the results.
 I'd say the conditioner is quite thin compared to others out there which makes me use alot more of it to feel like I'm covering my hair well - so I can't see it lasting that long, but for the half price price being £1.94, who can complain?

The 1 minute treatment also smells great, I've used it 3 times now and it is more or less gone. I have fairly long hair and when using a hair mask or treatment I like to thoroughly cover my hair root to tip!
 This is great for a little pick me up once or twice a week, it leaves my hair soft and shiny and doesn't break the bank balance either!

Lastly the serum. I'm not going to lie I haven't used a hair serum in forever, it's all been about oils for me over the last year or so! I decided to give this a go on it's own - no other products alongside it, to see how it worked in my hair! 
I have to say unfortunately the ends of my hair didn't feel half as soft as when I use the sleek perfector oil from Ultimate Blends (which I'm obsessed with.... I love the scent), so I will be using this serum with that instead of on it's own as it DID make really shiny!

Overall I do really like the range, they smell great and make my hair really shiny and mangeable - BUT I think I do still prefer 'The Sleek Restorer' collection!

This Week I'm Loving... #2


Katy Perry Royal Revolution
Well, this was a total and utter bargain! I got the gift set of this fragrance from Boots after Christmas and it was only £11.75! I bought it online without even smelling it, which, yes, was a little risky but for that price I was willing to take the risk! I LOVE scent and have been using it every single day.... very tempted to try and get another one of those gift sets! 

Friends
I've always loved Friends, it's one of those shows that I can just put on whatever time and whatever mood I'm in. Over Christmas I have been watching so much of it and my love for those 6 guys has been totally rekindled! Ross, of course, is still my ultimate favourite! 

Peppermint Tea
After the junk and over-eating that Christmas and New Year bought into my life I have been making sure that every evening I have had a mug of this stuff! It really does help me feel less bloated and meh! It's good stuff give it a go!

Dyson Animal 
This was my main present from my parents this year for Christmas. For over a year now my Boyfriend and I have been using his work Henry Hoover for our home but it was such a pain having to go and get it out the can out the time. Now, at first I thought - a hoover for Christmas... man that is such a grown up boring present... oh how I was wrong! I bloody love this thing! It is AMAZING! I've been using it with my favourite perfumes aswell to make my home smell amazing!

Heads Up
If you haven't played this game yet, go and download it! I had of course seen this on Ellen and when I found out that it was available for iPhone I quickly headed to the app store and forked out the reasonable 69p for it! My friends and I had a blast playing this on NYE, it is hilarious PLUS it films it all for you so you can play it back and laugh at everyone all over again!

Uggs
About 2 months ago I sadly said goodbye to my trusty Ugg boots that I had had for the past 6 or so years! After about a week I realised how much I relied on them as a quick and easy shoe to chuck on when popping out or chilling at a friends house! My boyfriend also realised this and the cheeky little bugger bought me a brand new pair for Christmas! I got the same again, the classic short Chestnut, and I LOVE them! Sorry if you're an Ugg hater but, for me, these boots rock.

Ultimate Blends - The Sleek Restorer Shampoo & Conditioner
You may have seen in my last TWIL post that I mentioned the hair oil from this collection! After trying out a different shampoo from the Ultimate Blends and hating it I decided that The Sleek Restorer duo were definitely the ones for me, so while they were on offer I snapped them up! I'm nearly out of them now (and I got some new hair bits for Christmas to try) but they have returned my hair to a much better state and also kept it smelling amazing!

Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie
SMELLS.SO.GOOD. Even when not burnt I can smell this thing and I love it!
