A hair must have: Moroccan Oil Review

It is hard to justify spending £30 on a bottle of hair oil, but after much talk about this product it was hard to resist giving it a try.

I straighten my hair almost everyday, and for special occasions I tend to back comb or curl it with heated rollers, so my hair takes a lot of damage. After using a number of products from the high street such as Toni & Guy, Lee Stafford and Bed Head I was never satisfied with the results.

My hair gets greasy quickly so I needed a product that wouldn't disturb the oil balances and make it heavy, I have used Moroccan Oil for the past 4 month and I love it! The results are amazing, I don't use it everytime I wash my hair just when it starts to feel dry on the ends. It makes your hair soft and shiny without leaving residue.

I 100% recommend this product for anyone who styles their hair daily with heated devices, yes it is very expensive but the bottle lasts ages. The only grumble is that the bottle does leak if you don't leave it the right way up. But other than that it's fab, it also smells lovely.

It is claimed by Moroccan Oil that it speeds up drying time, and I agree it does only take me 10 minutes or so to dry my hair after using the oil. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

You don’t need an excuse to hit the shops, especially when it comes to essential toiletries. Okay so they’re probably not that essential but they are crucial items that you need in your wash bag in order to smell/look lovely. 

1    Miss Dior Cherie – this perfume isn’t overwhelming, it is a floral, fruity, light, and spicy fresh fragrance for every day usage. It has a sweet oriental flagrance for the girly girls out there, it also has the cutest perfume bottle ever!

 

1     Temple Spa Duvet and Sugar Buff – The Mediterranean body scrub is a deliciously smelling scrub that removes dead skin cells revealing silky smooth skin (it is also recommended for the removal of fake tan). The firming body scrub does leave your skin feeling cashmere soft and is a light texture which absorbs quickly. Both products are from the sleeping range, and smell heavily of lavender so it is suggested to only be used at night time. 

 

1       MAC lipsticks – three very different colours for day and night wear. MAC has produced moisturising glossy lipsticks, however CATWALK found that they don’t last long and need replying frequently. MAC does offer us all the colours imaginable though, and we do want them all. We found that applying a small amount of clear lipgloss on top helps the colour last longer.

 

1        L'Occitane hand cream – this fruity smelling hand cream is ideal to keep in your handbag. It is slightly greasy and doesn’t absorb straight away but it does leave you hands smelling beautiful and feeling silky smooth. 

 

1     Dior eyeshadow, 616 Golden Spotlight – Dior Golden Spotlight looks perfect for a night out, a neutral glitter shade that actually lasts despite the amount of glitter. But it does tend to smudge all over your face towards the end of the night, which isn’t a great look. We would recommend sticking to the matt colours as we are still on the search for a glitter eye shadow that satisfies our needs. 

 

1        Schwarzkopf Silhoutte hairspray – Schwarzkopf promises an invisible hold. And its promise does deliver, however we are not happy with this product. If used at night time, you will wake up with your hair feeling extremely sticky and greasy! Stick to Elnette, this product only gets a 2/10. 

 

1        Lush Honey Trap lip balm – this stuff is amazing. Screw Vaseline, Honey Trap has a delicious smell and actually leaves your lips feeling moisturised. It smells of orange, chocolate, almonds and honey. It’s good enough to eat; the waxy texture gives you a full coverage of goodness and reveals your lips natural condition.
