VO5 Miracle Concentrate



It has been soooo hot in the UK today - 29 degrees!!! Strangely it's also been raining on and off all day making beautiful rainbows :)

I bought the VO5 miracle concentrate about 2 weeks ago and have used it every day since.
I've only used up the tiniest amount even though I use half a pippette worth of product every day!!!
I absolutely love this product, it feels amazing after blow drying, keeps my hair silky throughout the day and I feel it is a great cheaper alternative to Morrocan oil. 
Don't get me wrong, Morrocan oil will probably always be my favourite, however the VO5 is so much cheaper at only £5. I also sometimes find that Morrocan oil can feel a bit thick on my hair.

I couldn't recommend this product enough. Of course everyones hair is different so I can't speak for every hair type however it works wonders on my dry, heat-damaged hair! I also have noticed a reduction in blowdrying time!

I bought my VO5 Miracle Concentrate at boots :)

What I Loved This Month: JULY

This has been quite a month! Here are just a couple of my favorite things from July:

TV SHOWGlee (This show's second season became a guilty pleasure of mine, but it wasn't till this month that I actually went back and watched the first season on Blu-Ray.)

MOVIEX-Men: First Class (Yes, I know this movie's been out since the beginning of summer. I saw this movie again at a dollar theater with my dad and sister. Still just as awesome as when I first saw it. Probably my favorite movie of the summer.)
BOOKPygmalion by George Bernard Shaw (I love My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn, but I prefer Shaw's realistic ending. Not even looking at the age difference, I have no idea why Eliza would choose Higgins over Freddy as suggested in the movie.)

STYLE: Dianna Agron's Quinn Fabray from Glee (I've fallen in love with Quinn's feminine and put-together wardrobe while watching the show. Time to start saving up for some Anthropologie dresses and J. Crew cardigans of my own!)
ACTOR: Michael Fassbender (This guy can act. I was very impressed with him as Magneto, the depth he brought to the character was incredible. With several upcoming films including Ridley Scott's highly anticipated Prometheus, his star is definitely on the rise.)

MUSICIAN: Cameron Mitchell (I literally just watched the The Glee Project episode in which he quit. It was for admirable reasons, but it very much saddened me because I felt he was not only the most talented person on the show, but the most interesting, as well. Either way, he has an incredible voice and I can't wait to see more of him in the future.)

FOOD: Watermelon (I've been so spoiled with my dad cutting up pieces of watermelon for my sister and I for our evening snack. I'm not at all handy with a knife so this is something I'm definitely going to miss once I head back to college.)

TRAVEL: San Diego, California (Two words. Comic Con. It's like Spring Break for nerds. This was the view from our hotel, The Mariott.)

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH... Back to school shopping, more reading, and being reunited with my APO Family.

What are you guys looking forward to in August?

Mac Please Me


Mac Please Me - £13.50

This is only my second ever Mac lipstick, It's a lot lighter than I thought however I'm happy that I bought it and I love the colour!
It's so funny every time I seem to buy something from MAC, I'm served by someone called Sophie (which is also my name!!) ...obv a sign I need to buy more ;)

I wore this lipstick with winged black eyeliner for a daytime look but for a night out I would wear with a smoky eye and highlighted cheeks.
I love the scent of MAC Lipsticks and the formula is so creamy and hydrating. 
To apply I used my bodyshop lipscuff, then the Bodyshop Lip butter and then Please Me.  


P.s I've had play around with my blog to try and improve it - let me know what you think!

Ring Finger Polish



17 gold Nailvarnish, OPI Mrs O'Learys BBQ, Orley Rage, Topshop Pool Party.


Love this trend at the moment, however I find it hard to find colours that go well.
Next week im going to try Rimmel Beige Babe (colour in my 'reading glasses' post) and Orley Rage.
I was a bit sceptical about buying Orley 'Rage' as its such a tiny bottle for £5 however I absolutely Love this colour and definately will repurchase when I run out!
(p.s sorry about the messy nails - I had just painted them!!)
