Look Fantastic / The Hut

I recently got a lovely bag of goodies from The Hut / Look Fantastic who sell loads of different brands at really good prices so I thought I would share what I got.

I got a few nail bits, one of them being Nailtiques cuticle and skin gel. I have used this a couple of times and it is really moisturising, a little bit goes a long way!

I also got an Orly nail polish in the shade 'Dare to Bare'. I have been really loving nude colours like this recently and this one is perfect because it is opaque after just one coat. It also looks amazing with a matte top coat.

Also in the package were some hair bits, including Label.M brunette texturising volume spray. You use it in the same way as dry shampoo, just teasing your hair with your fingers to add extra volume. It smells amazing and keeps its hold all day.
I am a massive fan of tangle teezers. I have quite a few and until now, I hadn't found any brush that was anywhere near as good at detangling as they are. However, one of the things sent was the 'Wet brush-pro' and it is amazing! It is designed to use on wet hair as it detangles without causing split ends or frizz. I love this and will definitely be using it along with my tangle teezers!

Another hair product I got was Redken's Iron Shape 11 finishing thermal spray. I haven't used this yet but I'm excited to try it. I also got La Roche-Posay's Effaclar purifying foaming gel. This is another product which I haven't tried yet but am excited to because I have heard some amazing things about the brand!

The final thing I received was a little sample of Kiss the Moon after dark bath oil. You put a few drops in the bath and it helps with relaxing so I will definitely be using it a lot over the exam period! It has rose, frankincense and yiang yiang in so it smells amazing!

That's everything I got and I love it all! If you want to see what I thought of any of the products that I haven't tried yet, I will probably be posting about them soon on my Instagram (@tierneyellen) so feel free to follow me there!

Indruition - 7 Days 7 Ways

First of all, Happy Easter! If you have eaten too much chocolate today you might be wanting to balance it out by eating a lot of fruit next week and these Infruition bottles are perfect for that and for drinking more water at the same time :)

Infruition bottles are basically just water bottles with a tube inside that you fill with fruit so the flavours infuse into the water. I recently got a red sports bottle and a blue ordinary one and thought I would try the 7 days, 7 ways, challenge by drinking a different flavour each day.

Day 1: Berry Blast
I put some frozen forest fruit mix in on the first day (blueberries, blackberries and cherries). When using frozen fruit I would recommend not leaving them in for too long before drinking as bits can come off the frozen fruit and float at the bottom which isn't a problem but it may be nicer without them!

Day 2: Citrus Splash
For this, I just sliced some lemon and orange. This was one of my favourites although if I did it again I would probably have more orange and less lemon as it was a bit tart!

Day 3: Strawberry Refresher
Strawberry, cucumber and a sprig of mint. This was definitely my favourite! As the name suggests, it was really refreshing and would be the perfect drink at the gym. It probably wouldn't make much difference whether it had strawberry in it or not as the main flavours were the cucumber and mint. As you can see, my dog was very interested as to what was in my drink on this day!

Day 4: Luscious Lime and Watermelon
Sliced lime and cubed watermelon is a really simple, refreshing drink which I will be having again for sure.

Day 5: Mouthwatering Mango and Apple
This is a classic combination but the apple didn't really give much flavour off so I think these bottles probably work best with softer fruits or citrus fruits, and the mint gave a really nice flavour too.

Day 6: Perfect Peach and Blueberry
I used frozen blueberries for this so I had the same problem with it defrosting and having bits at the bottom of the water but other than that this was really nice!

Day 7: Gorgeous grape and kiwi
I cut the grapes in half for this one to let the juices flow better but I don't think the kiwi I used was really ripe enough to get maximum flavour out of it.

I would definitely say that some fruits work better than others in this (citrus and soft fruits) but most gave a really nice, refreshing drink. My favourite would have to be the mint, cucumber and strawberry one! An issue I found was that the bottles didn't hold much fruit but if it held much more then it wouldn't have enough water so I understand why it's like that. The sports one is perfect for taking to the gym or any other sports because it has a carrying handle and doesn't leak at all so I will be using it for that :)

Hope you enjoyed reading and maybe try out some of these flavour combinations if you have one of the bottles yourself!
