I had received 89 ml deluxe samples of the Nexxus Nutritive Shampoo & Conditioner in the first Tili Beauty Box and had given you my initial thoughts at that time but now that I have started to use these products again after using up a number of my other shampoos & conditioners  I felt they deserved their own post as I am so impressed with them / the results.    I have fine, long, flyaway hair which is prone to frizziness especially at the ends so I am always on the look out for products which help deal with these issues.

The Nexxus Nutritive Shampoo 250ml = £14.00- is described as being enriched with a Caviar Complex, a hydrating shampoo that gives dry hair a thorough cleanse while delivering moisture from roots to tips.

I absolutely adore the fragrance of this product so fresh and uplifting.  It has a white creamy consistency and lathers up beautifully on your hair  and when used with the conditioner below leaves my hair clean, shiny, weightless, smooth  with a soft & silky feeling  – I am so impressed with it and will keep repurchasing.

The Nexxus Nutritive Conditioner  – 89ml –  is described as being infused with pure elastin protein and a Caviar Complex, a restorative conditioner that helps to maintain your hair’s natural protective barrier to leave it feeling balanced and flexible.

The conditioner has a white creamy consistency and smells amazing as well and used in conjunction with the shampoo on the lengths of my hairs leaves my hair so soft and looking and feeling silky smooth even when I have been out in all sorts of weather – will also be repurchasing.

I definitely would recommend trying / purchasing both of these products, think would be suitable for most hair types but especially if you have fine, long flyaway hair like myself.  Although I still use other products when styling my hair, I have noticed such a difference to the overall look and feel of my hair since I introduced these two products into my hair care regime.

As always remember to look out for the best value / offers available before purchasing – you can purchase from a number of stores but I have listed two online stores below which have offers on which I hope you find helpful.

• QVCUK.com – Nexxus Nutritive Discovery 3 Piece Kit for £23.52 – great way to try this offer and this way you can try the serum in this range as well – think I will purchase this set as well as great size for travelling and also want to try the serum; and
• Look Fantastic.com – £14 for shampoo and £15 for conditioner (however conditioner appears to be out of stock at the moment) and currently you will get a free Nexxus Nutritive Caviar Hair Serum – 15ml worth £8.75 when you purchase two Nexxus products – and also currently if you use the code SAVE15 you will get 15% off your order.

Have you tried these products already and if so what do you think of them – do you find them as good as me?

If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Good Afternoon All

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend.

Just wanted to let you know about the latest Space NK offer as it is due to finish midnight tonight as I know a lot of people are starting  or maybe even finishing their Christmas shopping – When you spend £100 or over before midnight tonight you will receive a £25 gift card/voucher to spend which is valid until 24th December 2016 – will automatically be added to your basket when you spend £100.    So many beautiful products available to purchase it is difficult to choose – the packaging of the limited edition Diptyque candles are always amazing as well.  Remember though if you do not want or are able to spend £100 or over at this time there is still another offer available until 14th December 2016 –  the ‘Refer a Friend’ free goody bag offer when you spend £40 or over (Photo below is the free goody bag my friend received – as advised above you may get the same or similar products)– you just need to be a new Space NK Customer – just use my link here or please see my earlier post here for more details.

As advised before I personally love the selection of products available in Space NK – although as always I try to purchase when gifts with purchase, special offers are on.  I also love the extras you receive when you sign up to their N.dulge scheme as well.

I definitely would again recommend taking a look at the Space NK site and consider taking advantage of the current offers / free gifts with purchase(s) offer, if you just want to treat yourself or get some gifts.  Great opportunity to sign up to their N.dulge scheme as well – details of which are in my previous post here as well.

If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care.

I absolutely love face masks and although my  favourite multi purpose mask at the moment is the Antipodes Manuka Honey Mask (cannot recommend this one highly enough) – please see my previous post here, I also love trying other masks especially any that claim to invigorate or brighten the skin’s appearance.  So when I came across the Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque and it claimed to do all this and more I could not resist trying, especially as I love a lot of the products from the Kiehl’s range already – let you know which ones in a future post.

Described as:

 An “instant facial” to brighten and energize the look of dull, fatigued skin.

Key Benefits:

• Helps restore skin with a healthy, rosy appearance
• Helps skin regain its natural, healthy appearance
• Formulated with cranberry & turmeric, this invigorating formulation helps to visibly even the look of skin tone while crushed cranberry seeds gently exfoliate for smoother, brighter, illuminated-looking skin.

It comes in a 75 ml orange glass pot with white screw top lid with sealed interior and costs £28 – The colour of the glass pot really catches your eye although it is difficult to make out the white writing on the pot in places – hope they think about changing this in the future.

The mask is a  v light peach colour, thick creamy consistency with small seed granules and has a slight pleasant spa type aroma not overpowering.  I applied a visible layer to clean skin and found it so easy to apply and then left it to dry for 10 minutes (advises 5-10 minutes,  would recommend not leaving longer than this as the mask dries on your skin and then it would leave it more difficult to remove) and then I applied warm water and massaged gently to allow the cranberry seeds to exfoliate the skin – these are not harsh at all and roll more over the skin and then kept rinsing / massaging until mask was completely removed.  I love the way this mask feels so creamy on the skin when you are removing it as well, massages so easily.  It is recommended for use up to three times a week.

Oh my gosh I absolutely love the way this mask left / leaves my skin – it felt smooth to the touch, no redness at all and my skin  looks rejuvenated, hydrated and more radiant when I use it.

I will definitely be repurchasing and I would recommend trying – however always ask  for a sample to try first before purchasing, sometimes they will have sample sachets or if not, if you have a small pot they will put some product in it for you from their tester, or they may have small pots they can use.

You can purchase from a number of online stores and I have included two below which I hope you find helpful.

• SPACENK UK:, – £28 – choice of three free samples with orders and if this is your first order and you spend £40 over and use my referral code here you will also get a free goodie bag containing 5 deluxe samples and free shipping, it is a great offer at the moment especially if  you are also looking for gifts (please see my previous post here for details of the gift and other offers) – also remember to sign up or go through Topcashback  first to get cashback on your purchase (please see link here for further details);
• Kiehl’s – £28 – four complimentary treats when you spend £70.

Look forward to any comments you may have.   If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care.

Delighted to let you know that the Marks & Spencer Beauty Advent Calendar is finally available  to purchase –  worth £250 but you can get it NOW for £35 while stocks last when you spend £35 on clothing, beauty or home items  – please see photo* below and link here for full details of what you get.

It  contains 25 beauty items and I think it is one of  the best  2016 beauty advent calendars – great selection of products and excellent value for money.  Remember you need to add items from either clothing, beauty or the home range to your basket before the calendar will show at the reduced price of £35.  If you are interested I would recommend you purchase as soon as you can, as from past experience it sells out pretty quickly.

In addition do not forget to claim your cashback on any M&S purchases – you can sign up via my link here, if you are not already signed up for cashback or if would like to see more details on ‘cashback’ please see my earlier post here. 

I think this would be a perfect gift or a well deserved treat for yourself – hope you found this useful and welcome any comments you may have.

If you are not a follower would love you to subscribe / follow my blog too would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care.
