cath kidston wild flowers hand creams

ck
£6.00 

I adore these little cute hand creams, aren't they pretty? Though everything that is Cath Kidston is equally as pretty and adorable. I love Cath Kidston, it's so quintessentially British, all the florals, the pink, the prints, just scream at me wanting them to be mine!

I got these in the Cath Kidston store in Manchester, which by the way is amazing. Seriously I could live in the store. Alongside this purchase, I got a notepad, and a few stationary bits, all with the pink and blue floral girly prints embellished on to them.

Hand creams and sanitisers for me, are a must, there has to be one in my bag always. It's always a mix up between my L'occitane hand lotion, or one of these. I usually always opt for the Wild Rose as I just LOVE the floral scent. It's definitely my favourite out of the two, with Bluebell coming in second.
If anything I love the packaging more, it makes carrying a hand cream so much more fun!
They also have no sulphates and are parabens free so that's great too!

Do you own any of these? Or anything Cath Kidston? 
What are your favourite hand products?

Much love

Hello!
Just a quick round up of the week, or maybe a bit longer than that actually! 
Left some pics out, but if you want to follow me and see, my IG name is bekixx

How amazing was the closing ceremony for the Olympics? I thoroughly enjoyed it all, absolutely incredible. Spice Girls made my night, took me back to being 8 years old again. They looked beautiful and it was just fab! And, Oasis well, Liam, representing Manchester, bloody loved it. The Who, Queen, Ed Sheeran. Just wow! Would have loved to have been there to see it!

More outfit posts to come this week. So keep your eyes peeled for those!

Much love

avon advance techniques moroccan argan oil


24b0fbc60da8a174


Wow the full title is a bit of a mouthful isn't it?!
Hair oils seem to have taken the world by storm recently, and I've obviously bought into it. Anything that will make my incredibly damaged hair seem healthier, or atleast make it look it, I'm like a magpie. I have to try it! I've tried various different hair oils, different morroccan and argan types, different brands. They do work for what you want, whilst it doesn't do anything for your hair in the long run, with the silicones just pretty much just coating your hair. I think, for someone, like myself with damaged hair, and wanting a super quick fix these oils are great for that!
With the other products I tried, such as vo5 miracle oil, loreal mythic oil, I found my hair getting used to it. I think you definitely have to use it sparingly, and not just pour a litre of it onto your hair, with the hope that it'll magically transform your hair.

I use this product after I've washed my hair, sometimes before I wash it. I think it works the same either way, no difference really. My hair does feel better, as prior to using it it was in horrible condition, so I've definitely noticed the difference from the first use. Though, that's pretty the same for all hair oils, fast results.
They also have a shampoo and condition in this morroccan argan oil range, which looks interesting and I think I'm going to give it a try, may e using the full kit might be better for my hair?!

I definitely think if you do have damaged hair, don't rely on hair oils,or masks, leave in treatments to restore it back to healthy hair. Whilst they will help, you should definitely have a good shampoo and conditioning routine set in place, visit your hair salon for regular hair trims, and most importantly don't pull your hair, and dye it yourself. If there's anything I could tell my former self, it would be, don't buy that bleach, and for goodness sake stop pulling your hair! My hair used to be long, so long, luscious and so healthy. Ah, how I miss those days! Now, it's just extensions and top buns til it's super long again!

You can find these at Avon.uk.com or from your nearest Avon representative!
Have you tried this? Or any specific hair oils you like?

Much love

sun and cupcakes

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App

 Hey lovelies!
How beautiful is the weather?! Wow Summer, at last, maybe?
It's been far too hot for me to even know what to wear,
even in the outfit above I was too hot!
Just a Topshop and Miss Selfridge ensemble 
I forgot all about this dress from Topshop, then searching
high and low for a dress in my room, I rediscovered it!
And, of course, my trusty denim shirt jacket. Always
a go to these days.

My bag is from New Look, about two years old! 
It seems with bags, I just acquire them in a 
tan or brown colour! I need to liven it
up a bit in the bag department.
Shoes, good old studded flats.
Bit of a lazy summer outfit for me, but perfect
for hot, relaxing days I think!

With gorgeous weather comes BBQS,
and that's exactly what we did today at my
auntie's! Being a vegetarian at a BBQ can be
well, um awkward sometimes! But, a bit
of quorn bbq'd 'chicken' is always good!

My auntie is on a bit of a baking mission at the moment,
baking lots of batches of fairycakes and cupcakes,
and my they LOOK and taste delicious!

few days, one I can't wait to blog about actually :)!

Hope you're enjoying the sun & having a fab weekend.
Much love

Herve Leger Femme

PhotobucketPhotobucket693d4cdfc7ed5a5bssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I'm a sucker for perfumes in pretty bottles, and I absoloutley love this fragrance by Herve Leger created exclusively for Avon. As always, there's gifts for me at my Nana's, she knows what I like! I've been wanting this, as I kept lingering on the page in the brochure.
The scent reminds me of Chanel no.5, which just reminds me of my Mum, definitely one that has memories. I love fragrances that can take you back to places. It's a fresh, floral scent with honeyed woods. Definitely feminine and a classy scent. This for me would be an evening perfume! I love the bottle too, again it reminds me of Chanel! I love the clear and the glass. Just such a pretty bottle.

It also came with a shower gel and body lotion. I never really use the shower gels that come in perfume collections, but I do use the body lotions, more so after showering. More to add to my collection. Both are of course scented with the fragrance, mmm so nice!

I really love this, and it may just become my signature evening/nighttime fragrance!
It's definitely for you if you are into your floral and feminine scents!

If you know anyone who does Avon, you should definitely
 give this a smell, as they have a scented page in the brochure!

What is your favourite perfume?
Ever tried any from Avon?

Much love
Rebekah
