Lush hair products

   After trying to ombré hair, which had disastrous results (think half my hair being orange straw!), I dyed my hair back to a more natural colour. All this dying and general use of heat hasn't left my hair in the best condition! 
I recently took a trip into my local Lush, mainly because the hair routine I had wasn't really working for me. I had heard so many positive things about Lush's hair products and hoped they'd be able to save me from having to cut my hair short! A lovely girl found me some bits that would help, and gave me some testers before I committed to them! I did end up buying all of them because how great they were for my hair!

*Blousey Shampoo - £18.00 for 240g*
*R&B Hair Moisturiser - £10.95 for 100g*
*Retread Conditioner - £9.95 for 245g*
Blousey is specifically for damaged hair and dyed hair. The main ingredients are bananas and cocoa butter, which are both really hydrating for you hair! The shampoo doesn't lather up as much as my previous shampoos, which at first made me feel like my hair wasn't properly clean. However my hair was really clean, I could have gotten away with another day before washing it! The price was a bit off putting, but it is a really good product.
Retread is a heavy weight conditioner, again for damaged hair. Honestly I have never had a conditioner that smells as nice as this does! I can't even describe how good this smells; it is sort of fruity, but still really light and fresh. Retread really hydrated my hair, as well as keeping it smooth and soft right up to my next wash!
R&B is basically a leave in conditioner. Once again, it's another Lush product that smells ridiculously good. It hydrated and tames my hair so well that I wouldn't hesitate about actually buying this myself! I just comb it through damp hair and then leave my hair to dry naturally. 
Lush's hair products definitely live up to the hype! I'm so in love with all these products, that I don't think I'd hesitate to buy any of them again. They really work well for my hair type and I'm really happy with all of them! 
What's your favourite Lush product and would you try their hair products? 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

I AM BACK! I've not posted anything in a ridiculously long time! A levels and trying to find work take up so much time that I've completely neglected blogging. However, I am back. I'm now fully committed to blogging because it's the summer holiday! Recently I've moved down to Cornwall to live with my dad, it might just be for the summer or it might be forever. Who knows? I'll be able to do more outfit posts because there are so many better locations for shooting! It's just generally a great place, especially in this weather.

20 random facts about me

I have seen so many of my fave bloggers doing this tag and I love reading them because I'm such a nosey person! So I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. I can't think of 50 things about myself because I'm no where near that interesting, so I'll stick to 20!

1. My full name is Hannah Jayne Sinclair. I really don't like my name. I have the most common and boring first and middle names ever. I've had two best friends with the same name... that shows how common it is. 
2. I have just turned seventeen, horray for me. 
3. I have six cats and two dogs; I really am more a cat person though. I will probably be the old woman with hundreds of little kitties everywhere.
4. I'm full of useless movie trivia.
5. I love anything to do with the sea: sharks, mermaids, whales, anything. I think I should have been born a mermaid, because I'm a total waterbaby.
6. I make lists for everything because I love being organised.
7. I'm really tiny, not even five foot and have size 3 feet. 
8. I'm doing a-levels in English literature, history and sociology. 
9. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks, and didn't go to school for 3 years, because it got so bad. It really annoys me how people don't realise how much it can affect someone's life.
10. I've never ever broken a bone (touch wood).
11. I shaved the side of my hair twice, I don't regret it but growing it out isn't fun. 
12. I saw Noel Fielding in Camden market, biggest cliché ever but still greatest thing.
13. I used to have nine piercings, I still have seven of them
14. I love everything about the 1940s and 1950s
15. I have really varied music taste, but I have a huge love for acoustic music
16. I absolutely love buying stationary, I'm obsessed and people tell me off for buying it, especially when I don't need it! 
17. I'm the most organised person and the biggest neat freak ever
18. I'm petrified of snakes, I can't even see them on TV or pictures, they make me feel so scared I cry.
19. I want to be a teacher, or work for a museum (preferably the V&A or the Imperial War)
20. I constantly want to change my room, it's never quite how I want it to look

L'oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray

Salt spray seems to be the new big thing, and I was curious about how good it was. So when I popped into Tesco and saw this on offer, I couldn't resist. Naturally, I have curly hair but it gets too tangled and messy without brushing. When I brush it though, the curls drop out. I thought this would be great to just give my hair more volume and that perfectly messy look.

I applied this dry hair and sorta ruffled it, just to give it some texture/volume. It instantly gave a beach-wave look, which is exactly what I wanted. I really liked how it gave my hair a little extra something. However, it did start looking like a mess later on but that could've been the wind though.

Overall, I did really like the product. It didn't really like the feel of the product on my hair, but I liked the results. The thing that I disliked most about this product was the smell, it smelt kind of like alcohol, which isn't great. I will use this again! I will probably apply it to damp hair and twist my hair round my fingers, like it suggests next time though.


p.s. how just brilliantly cute is this hair bow that my friend Khanada made for my birthday?! You can also wear them as bow ties, but I love it clipped on the front of a high ballet bun!

Ryan Gosling, hello. You should check out her etsy for some really beautiful handmade pieces from her and her Esme!


Do you think salt spray is as good as everyone says?

Barratts' Floral Wellingtons

*Floral Print Wellington Boots - £15* 

These wellies are super cute! With a Cath Kidson inspired floral print, who can say no? They are perfect for this time of year with all the snow! For only £15, they are such good quality. They feel so much comfier than my Hunter wellies, which can feel a little tight on my feet/legs. I've fallen in love with these, and now I'm hoping for more snow so I can wear them!
