Rimmel - Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick Review | ♡

I've never been a lipstick fan, I've always preferred lipgloss or lip stains because I've often found lipsticks quite drying compared to them and therefore just stuck to not using lipstick however I recently purchased my first Rimmel lipstick and I really like it! 
So this is part of Rimmel's Kate Lasting Finish line and I actually purchased this in the shade 03, (I don't think the shades have individual names or if they do I can't find what it is but atleast I know the number) and I decided to go for this shade because it's very natural and I am unfortunate in the fact that lip products that are anything but natural look very bad on me with my skin tone, I cannot wear reds, purples or many pinks without looking incredibly ill which I hate because you see people walking around in Autumn and Winter wearing deep red lipsticks and I just think it looks so nice!
I bought this product because of Zoe Sugg (Zoella) as she often talks about Rimmel lipsticks and I'd always wanted to try one out but I'd just never gotten round to it but now I have this one and I think it's so lovely. As previously said, I tend to find lipsticks very drying however these are different, they're not as hydrating as lip glosses which is what I'm used to however it's wearable and the colours available are so beautiful I only wish I could wear them all!
These lipsticks are good value for money, they cost £5.49 and are worth every penny, I really like these and I'd recommend them to anybody!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Oil Review | ♡

I use a lot of heat on my hair, naturally my hair is wavy and I personally dislike it this way and feel it doesn't suit me. Therefore I straighten my hair and although I don't do this everyday my hair, as well as anyone else who uses heat on theirs is damaged by it. I don't straighten it every single day because I don't need to as my hair maintains it's straightness for 2-3 day depending on what I do, where I go and how I wear it. I do have occasions where I have to straighten my hair two days in a row although I try to not have to do this. I do all I can to protect my hair and to stop it being damaged and this mainly includes using specific shampoo and conditioner, heat protectant and now it also includes the use of the Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Oil.
 
 
I use this after I have wash my hair, I just take 2-3 pumps of it and run it through my hair, it basically just stops your hair looking frizzy and makes your hair look super sleek. This product also acts as a heat protectant meaning it's super practical as when you are travelling you only have to carry one product because of it's multiuse functionality (Look at those fancy words there!) As a heat protectant it can withstand up to 230 degree heat which is really good and also this product is infused with coconut oil meaning it smells so nice and leaves you hair smelling really good too!
