Reed diffusers are extremely popular in home fragrances right now. With an amazing variety of scents available, they are a great way to add constant fragrance to your home, and they will give you a scent that's much longer-lasting than a candle. As they lightly release the scent throughout the room without flames, making them more practical and much safer to use in the home.

I decided to head to my local Primark's homeware department and pick up a Reed Diffuser, to try out for myself and see what all the fuss was about. I opted for the very fruity and refreshing sounding "Pink Lemonade" diffuser, which just screamed Summer to me! A revitalising mix of fruity flavours and lemonade make this perfect for any home!

Reed diffusers are so quick and easy to use... Simply remove the stopper from the top of the glass bottle and insert the reeds into the fragranced diffuser oil. The reeds soak up the scent, emitting a pleasant and fresh aroma around your home. You will need to flip the reeds over, around once a week, to avoid them drying out so that the scent of the diffuser oil can continue spreading throughout the room.

The scent of the Pink Lemonade Diffuser is described as Rhubarb and Lemon, which to me is a perfect combination for a truly summertime fragrance. The sweet and sugary Rhubarb, combined with the zesty, zingy and citrus Lemon, makes this such a refreshing and uplifting aroma to have in the home. Super fresh and extremely fruity, it's definitely one homeware product to pick up on your next Primark trip!

The 100ml Pink Lemonade Reed Diffuser from Primark has great lasting power. It will keep your room smelling fresh for up to 8 weeks! That's a whole TWO MONTHS! Primark have plenty of other available scents in their homeware range, so if Pink Lemonade isn't for you, there will definitely be something to suit your preferences. From Madagascan Vanilla to Vintage Blossom to Sea Salt and Lavender to Pomegranate and Fig, there is a huge variety of fragrances perfect for any home!

RRP £3.00 100ml

Also available £1.00 30ml

If you have always wanted to try out a quality sheet mask, I may just have the product that you have been waiting for... Let's take a look at a couple of the Moisture Bomb Tissue Masks I picked up recently from Garnier.

Sheet masks originated from South Korea, a country known for their dedication to beauty and skin care. Since then, they have taken the world by storm, many beauty brands now have their own ranges of sheet masks and they are now widely available in both the drugstore and supermarkets.

The beauty of sheet masks is that they can be used pretty much anywhere and anytime. A perfect wake me up for those tired mornings, an evening glow boost ready for your night out, or even on the go whilst travelling, they are definitely a great addition to any skincare routine.

Instructions for use are super simple.

1. Unfold the mask. Carefully apply the white tissue to thoroughly cleansed skin. Make sure the blue protective film is facing outwards. Smooth the mask gently to ensure contact with the skin.

2. Remove the protective film.

3. Adjust the mask contours on the face. Leave for 15 minutes.

4. To remove the mask, peel off slowly from the edges. Gently massage in any excess serum, or use a cotton pad to remove.

The first product I picked up was the Garnier Skin Active Charcoal and Algae Hydrating Sheet Mask. Enriched with Black Algae Extract, LHA and Hyaluronic Acid, a perfect pamper product for those will oily/combination skin, as this helps to mattify, purify, and detox congested skin, as well as tightening enlarged pores.

Black Algae Extract is packed with proteins, nutrients and amino acids. A natural ingredient known for its anti-ageing properties and treating dark circles under the eyes, as well as helping with skin elasticity and fine lines. These nourishing, yet soothing ingredients hydrate the skin’s surface, while the Charcoal works some magic by removing any impurities, to give a gentle, deep cleanse to the skin.

Next up we have the Garnier Moisture Bomb Pomegranate Hydrating Face Sheet Mask. This has to be my favourite sheet mask that I have tried. Soaked in a super silky serum, enriched with Pomegranate Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Plant Serum, this is a brilliant treat for those with dehydrated skin. Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C, a nutrient important for skin health, as well as packed with antioxidants and anti-ageing properties. What more could you want?!

After using both these masks for the recommended 15 minutes, my skin looked super healthy and hydrated. It's amazing how my complexion looked smoother, plumper and more radiant in such a short space of time! These Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Masks contains one whole week's worth of hydrating serum, which will keep your skin looking moisturised, revitalised and nourished all day and all night long. Masks so good that I have repurchased more of these to try and test out as a weekly pamper treat, as they are so fuss-free and easy to use. I would highly recommend giving these mask a go!

Garnier also have some other products available in the Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask range for all your skin types and needs, including;

Green Tea; Super Hydrating Rebalancing Mask

Chamomile; Super Hydrating Soothing Mask

Sakura; Super Hydrating Glow-Revealing Mask

Lavender; Super Hydrating De-Tiring Mask

When it comes to haircare, Aussie is my go to brand. I've used their products for years and years, they just have the perfect products to fulfil my haircare needs and I am never disappointed.

“There's more to life than hair, but it's a good place to start“: The Aussie Philosophy

I recently picked another bottle up of the Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Intensive Lightweight Oil. (It's so good, I'm on my third bottle!) A treatment specifically designed for those with damaged hair, I thought now the sun is shining, and the weather is warming up, this could be a great product to bring out to add to my Summer haircare routine, to help avoid heat damaged and my hair drying out.

Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Reconstructor Treatment

The product itself has a clear oil and serum consistency, which is easily absorbed into the hair. Blended with 3 beautiful, miracle oils ; Australian Macadamia Nut, Jojoba-seed and Avocado, encouraging your hair to look effortlessly silky, smooth and shiny. It smells super sweet, fresh and slightly nutty.

Just a few drops spread through the lengths and ends of my hair gives plenty of moisture and shine with no greasiness and no sticky residue. Simply making my hair feel super soft, more manageable and tangle free.

The directions for use are super simple, there are 3 main uses for this product and I honestly find all 3 very effective.

- use the oil before shampooing as a pre-wash treatment

- on damp hair to help with smoothness, seal split-ends and manage frizz and flyaways

- on dry hair for amazing shine, looking nourished and perfect for styling

I've used the Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Reconstructor Treatment over and over again. I just love the way it makes my hair look and feel; amazing shine, visibly nourished and makes it feel super soft. Retailing at £9.99, it's on the pricier side for a drugstore oil, but seeing as it gives amazing results from the first use and will last a really long time as a little goes a long way, I definitely think it's worth the investment!
