Bourjois So Laque Polish - Bleu Violet Review

I bought this polish a while back but have just decided to give it a go, i don't usually wear really dark colours.

This colour jumped out at me while shopping, i loved it! I had never seen anything like it, it is definitely a blue violet (as described!). It is a very 'moody' colour, it some lights it looks a very dark navy.

I wasn't so pleased about the consistany though, it went on very thin and sparse on the first coat. I had to put more on the brush for the second coat to get an even coverage but it ended up being quite gloopy. It didn't even out well. You can see in the first photo there are some uneven patches. I think the brush was slightly too stiff. After leaving it to dry for about 45mins, i sat on my hand and the paint had a fabric print on it! Very annoying, it does not dry well. 2 hours later and it's safe to say it has finally dried but there are some smudges. Maybe i put it on a bit too gloopy, but i had to.

It is a gorgeous colour, there is no denying that! It also has a gorgeous vinyl shine to it. I really love shiney polishes.

Models Own It - Nude Beige Review

I'm really loving nude and grey polishes at the moment, i love how sophisticated they look and that they go with almost anything.

I decided to try out Models Own - Nude Beige.

Before i put it on i was expecting more of a nude than a brown, but to me it looks like a light brown. The consistency is really nice, the first layer i put on quite thin and the second layer i put it on a bit too gloopy, but it dried fantastically. I was expecting it to smudge but it didn't!

I do love Models Own polishes, they are so well pigmented and they glide on so smoothly. I haven't had a complaint yet!

I'm not sure if i am 100% on this colour though, i do like it but i don't think i love it. I am looking for a real beige colour, i think i will have to search around.

What do you think, are you feeling this colour?

Hair Treatment: Coconut Oil

I decided to use coconut oil on my hair as a treatment. After i posted on Twitter that i had used olive oil, many of my lovely followers recommended coconut oil!

I really loved the results! Application is a bit more time consuming than olive oil but smells a lot nicer. Keep reading to see what i did:

I used pretty much the same method as my Olive Oil hair treatment.

What you will need:

Pure Organic Coconut oil 
Shower cap or net

Hair turban / towel

Starting with dry hair, i prefer to have dry hair as it will absorb the oil better. Using pure coconut oil (which starts off as a solid until melted) put a chunk of it in between your palms, keep rubbing until it forms an oily liquid. This does take a little time. Once melted apply the oil from root to tip, concentrating more on dry ends. You will need to repeat this a few times until you get a good covering all over your hair. The smell is gorgeous, i wanted a pina colada as soon as smelt it! My hair felt softer as soon as i applied it. You might find it easier to part your hair in sections to make sure you cover every part. Once you have covered all your hair, twist your hair on top of your head and apply your shower cap and hair towel, i use both as by the morning the towel is nearly off my head! Leave the oil on overnight.

when you shower you will need to wash thoroughly. I only shampooed once, but i made sure i massaged the shampoo in everywhere. Always apply conditioner to the ends of your hair, and your done!

It doesn't matter what i use, after i wash my hair it will always be tangled when wet, i think it has a lot to do with the bleach in my hair. Anyway, after blow drying my hair felt fabulous. It felt nourished and surprising tame. My hair isn't frizzy or curly but i find sometime after blow drying it can be slightly 'poofy'. I didn't even need to straighten it as it was so smooth and silky.

Super tame, silky hair!

I will definitely be using this treatment again, i will try and use it every 2 weeks along with olive oil treatments.

Make sure you use a PURE coconut oil, free of anything other than coconut. Organic ones are always the best. I bought mine from eBay (click here).

Have you tried this treatment? Let me know what you thought?
