I have been sent over some lovely hair care items to try from Loreal Professional

They sent be 4 items in total: A shampoo and a conditioner. A hair mask and a hair oil. I was really excited to try these, my hair lately has not felt in the best condition, think this is partly down to the colder weather. But I also have some highlights in my hair. This time of year I normally go darker, but I just fancied a bit of a change this year.

The first item is the hair mask:

It's ideal for those with thick hair. For a little extra luxury treat, apply from root-to-tip at night, and wash out in the morning.

This smells amazing and is a really thick consistency. I think that this has done a lot to improve the condition of my hair to!

Coconut Oil

Constructed with glycerol and coconut oil, the Serie Expert Nutrifier shampoo offers just the right dose of nourishment to dry hair. Glycerol helps to hydrate and nourish, while coconut oil brings shine to the hair.

This silicone-free shampoo cleanses and leaves the hair softer, more supple and shinier.

Apply evenly to wet hair. Lather. Rinse. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately.

The signs of dry hair include a raised hair cuticle, hair that lacks shine, feels rough and tangles easily. Hair can be dry for different reasons, from genetics to natural aggressions such as humidity, sun, and pollution. If left untreated, hair becomes more fragile and prone to breakage.

I also loved both the shampoo and conditioner, I liked how the shampoo bottle size is slightly larger than the conditioner, as I always get through shampoo faster than conditioner

I thought I would do something a little different this week, plus I was feeling a little festive, having finally made a start on our Christmas decorations. I have been itching to get the Christmas tree up for a while now, but I do like to wait until December, it does make it more special.

I wanted to do something a little different for advent this year as my other half, does not quiet get into the Christmas spirit as I do, and amazingly he is not into chocolate that much I thought I would try get him something different. So I decided to make him one. I actually really enjoyed collecting the items together and making all look nice an festive, I was actually really happy with the way it turned out!

I did struggle to find a box that would be big enough to hold everything and it needed to be strong enough, as I knew there would be some alcohol going into this calendar!

I eventually came across this perfect box in Poundland it was £5. The prices all seem to be different lately in there, not always £1. I still think that for a box this size and this sturdy it was still good value  plus the tissue paper was also from there. I picked up the little fairy lights from there to, this are a really cute bell design. The numbers are little pegs that were attached to a piece of string to be a hanging advent calendar but these came away from the string easily and I have been able to peg them to each present. I found these at Country Baskets

I have tried to keep the cost down by not going crazy on the items I included, but wanted to make them all things that I know he will love. Most of them are different ales that I found online at flavourly.com, which I'm sure he will love. Some of the items are toiletries I got these from Superdrug, these are always useful gifts. The rest of the items are novelty gifts such as a shot game. and some miniature bottles of spirits that I know he will love.

I am excited for him to open this throughout December.

As for me I treated myself to the You Beauty advent calendar, which looks incredible I am so looking forward to opening this each day leading up to Christmas. I had a beauty advent calendar last year, I had the one form M&S. Their calendar this year does look amazing it is sold out online but you can still find it in-store. I also had the Mini Mani Month from Ciate. Which I really enjoyed to, Their nail polishes are amaxing. It does look just as good this year, I just think that I have enough nail polishes to get be through this year! I just fancied something different this year. I was looking for a calendar that had a good mix of makeup and skincare as I found that a lot of them seem to focus on one or the other.

Hope you are all getting as excited for Christmas as I am!
