I've never been one to have a look in Topshop for make up, as it is predominantly a place for fashion, but on a recent visit, I picked up one of their Lip Bullets which I thought would be perfect for the Spring and Summer months!

Most of my lip products tend to be very safe colours, with plenty of nudes, pinks, peaches and reds, so I wanted to try out something which I would never normally go for, enter Heartbeat. Heartbeat is a lovely bright, fresh pinky red, with a more orange undertone, which is definitely out of my comfort zone but it's still a lovely colour that! Go bold or go home right?!



The Lip Bullet is highly pigmented so only takes 1 – 2 swipes of colour to give a gorgeous opaque lip and you're ready to go! Although, they do have a tendency to cling to any dry patches on your lips, but that an easily be sorted with a lip balm before application! After applying, the lip bullet lasts a good 3-4 hours, without needing to reapply, but even after that time, your lips have a slight sheer stain from the colour, which still looks lovely.

Have you tried the lip bullets yet? What other Topshop makeup recommendations would you give me?

AD - GIFTED | So the next instalment in haircare week comes in the form of a serum; Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair 6 Effects Serum*, which I was kindly sent from lookfantastic/hqhair. Hair serums are still quite a new thing for me, and so far I've tried and tested a few and have been really happy with how they leave my hair looking and feeling, so having the opportunity to test this one from Goldwell is something I was excited for. 

"An innovative 6-in-1 solution for hair that's in need of some TLC, this Dualsenses Rich Repair 6 Effects Serum from Goldwell is your fast track to super soft, silky hair. Boasting six repairing benefits, this effective serum gives your hair instant shine with an anti-frizz effect, healthy ends and improved elasticity."

Goldwell DualSenses Rich Repair 6 Effect Serum is a 6-in-1 solution, helping to improve instant shine, silky suppleness, improved elasticity, anti-frizz effect, healthy ends and reduced hair breakage.

The serum comes in a handy pump dispenser, which means you can control the amount of product you dispense, where I usually take 2-3 pumps and rub this together in my fingertips, then apply to the lengths and ends of my hair. The non greasy formula that feels really light and absorbs really quickly into the hair, leaving it feeling silky and no greasy residue is left behind.

 I usually use this on freshly washed hair, once its towel dried, and find that this works best for my hair, but also if my hair is feeling a little dry, I will smooth 1 pump of this through the ends to give it a little refresh and nourishment.

From the first application of this serum, the appearance of my my hair was definitely a lot better. It was so smooth and silky, without any frizz. Big yes! My hair felt thicker and healthier, shinier and more manageable, and for someone with long hair, this is definitely a plus! A definite recommendation to anyone with long hair, dry hair or those just looking for a serum to improve the texture and appearance of there locks!

Hair oils are still quite a new addition into my haircare routine, since using the THIS ONE Light Hair Oil, I have been hooked and oil treatments are something that I am using at least once a week to keep my long locks in the best possible condition. I recently picked up the TRESemme Liquid Gold Argan Oil, a lightweight hair oil which helps to nourish the hair, improve shine and tame frizz, whilst making your hair feel sleek and soft.

"The lightweight, luxurious formula is instantly absorbed to help nourish and reduce frizz, providing the ultimate salon indulgence to instantly transform your hair."

As for how I use this, I simply pump two or three little drops into my hands, rubbed them together then worked it through the lengths and ends of my hair before blow-drying. It made my hair feel amazingly soft, my ends are no longer straw like and dry and I found that my hair is so much more manageable when brushing, and no greasy residue is left. 

One thing I absolutely adore about this hair oil is the smell, its delicious. Think Aussie haircare products, and this is what that smells like. So fresh and fruity. Just amazing!

AD - GIFTED | Next up in my haircare week is a product from KMS California, a brand I had never heard of, so I was very excited to receive it and try it out. So one morning, I received a lovely little package from lookfantastic/hqhair, where I was kindly gifted the Polishing Serum* and another haircare product which I shall feature in the next few days.

So as I said before, I had never used anything from this brand, so I done my research on the product and this is something that I have been including in my haircare routine since I received it, and have really been pleased with the results. This Polishing Serum provides hair with more shine and improved softness and silky texture. As well as all-day frizz control and heat protection, this is definitely a great multi use hair serum.

I use this serum after washing my hair, and also on dry hair, focusing on my ends and lengths if they are feeling a little dry and looking frizzy, this stuff sorts that right out! Since using this on a weekly basis, I have definitely noticed a difference in the appearance of my hair, it looks much more shiny and healthy, and feels a lot sleeker and softer, as well as a reduction in visible split ends! A definite favourite for me at the moment!

Have you tried anything from KMS California before? Have you used the Polishing Serum? What hair serums do you use?

When Boots had there lovely 3 for 2 deal on a while ago, I needed a third product to pick up and didn't really know what I wanted, so this was a bit of a random purchase. With the release of the Fibrology range from L'Oréal, a range of products that claim to help thicken hair due to it's Filloxane technology. The Double serum ended up in my bag to test out and see what it was all about.

"A breakthrough in the science of hair, L'Oréal Laboratories have created L'Oréal Elvive Fibrology Thickness Creation Double Creation, proven to give long-lasting thickness wash after wash. Hair looks & feels thicker, with body & bounce."

Even as a lover of haircare products, I've never used hair serums before, so this was all new to me. The Double Serum is made up of two properties, a thickening serum which penetrates  and thickens the hair fibre and a perfecting serum which helps to smooth out the surface of the hair. When pressing the pump at the top of the bottle, these serums dispense together and then I apply them to the lengths of my hair, avoiding the roots, once towel dry.

I've been using this serum for a good few months now, and even though it started off quite slowly, I definitely have seen a difference in the thickness and feel of my hair, and I am genuinely pleased with the results I have seen. My hair feels much thicker and smoother, and just feels in such better condition, those with long hair will feel my pain with how hard it is to make sure your hair is always looking good! 

As this is the only product I have tried from the range, I can't comment on how my hair would be if I combined all the products from the range to see how my hair would be like after use, but I am very happy with the serum, so I would definitely try out some of the other products in the Fibrology range.

Have you tried the L'Oréal Double Serum?
