Hask Argan Oil

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you will have noticed that Moroccan Oil, Argan Oil and other such oils have been taking over the beauty community in blogs and on YouTube. 

Argan Oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. Cosmetically it is mainly used on the hair wet or dry to leave your hair with a shiny look, leaving it feeling healthy and super soft. It achieves this by absorbing into the hair and using all of its natural goodness to restore your hairs health and help it to be reeeeeeeeally shiny.

Argan oil can also be used on the skin to prevent dryness and help reduce stretch marks, it works in a similar way to the popular and well known Bio-Oil.

I have been after Argan Oil for a long time now but being as forgetful as I am whenever I am on a beauty hunt the oil just goes to the back of my mind. On a random pre-holiday shopping trip to Primark I was queuing up to pay when I saw the Hask Argan Oil by the till for £2.50! (Miss Budget Beauty eat your heart out =D) I had to snap a couple of these up right away and I was eager to get home to wash my hair and it's not often I can say that!

The Oil claims to be a healing shine treatment for a silky smooth finish with exotic shine, and this my friends it does down to a tee. I use a pea size amount rubbed in my palms on wet hair and then blow dry as normal. I also use it occasionally after styling my hair to rid of any flyaway bits. The great thing I have found is that I am not washing my hair any more than I was before which is always a plus in my eyes.

As I used to put a lot of bleach on my hair, it is not in the best condition. Since using the oil I have noticed a massive difference and I will definitely repurchase one this has ran out or I may try a different one, I wouldn't mind getting a big bottle of it so it is there to last for ages.

I think Argan Oil is a must have beauty essential and I honestly don't know how I ever got by without it! At the amazing price of £2.50, you have no excuse to try it!

Do you use hair oil? If so which one? Have you tried the Hask oil? What are your thoughts?

Enjoy Your Day

Shopping Haul .. MAC, MUA, Primark

As the weather wasn't too bad yesterday, I decided to go to my local city and see what bargains I could pick up. My main priority was make up but I also had a Primark gift card left over from Christmas which I wanted to use up.

My first stop was to Superdrug to see what MUA and Sleek bargains I could pick up. I was hoping they would have the MUA BB cream but to my disappointment they didn't have it. Also that particular Superdrug does not stock the MUA palettes. I did pick up the pressed powder in Shade 1, the Eyebrow pencil in Brunette, the Nail Varnish in Shade 16 (I had ordered it online but when it arrived it had no brush attached. I had sent MUA an e-mail telling them this but I had no response but I thought for £1 it is no great loss), and the blusher in Shade 6 which had conveniently smashed before I got it home.

Even though I tried SO hard to avoid Debenhams and the MAC counter, I heard it calling my name and I just HAD to go inside. Staring at all of the beautiful colours, this one stood out for me. It is Pink Venus and I love it. It is a light pink colour with some silver sparkles. It is beautiful and I know this will now be my go to eyeshadow on a daily basis!

Once I had decided to purchase the eyeshadow I quickly ran out of Debenhams as I knew I would spend FAR too much money on the other counters. 

Moving on to the cheaper side of the city, I headed to Primark where I picked up some pretty good stuff. I had £23 left on a giftcard from Christmas and I wanted to spend it soon as it would be hanging around in my purse for MONTHS otherwise.

Usually I go into Primark and see one or two items I like and that's it, not yesterday, apparently Primark were having a 'let's have lots of nice things so Jazmine buys them' day!

I was very strict with myself and came out with only a few things. I bought sunglasses, face wipes and a orange and mango smoothie candle. Also you will see the Aussie shampoo and contidioner which I picked up from Superdrug at 2 for £6.99.

Also from Primark I bought a pair of hot pink chinos and a Barbie top. Now as you may know I am a lover of all things pink. Well my love of Barbie is just as great. Anything Barbie I must have ... some may see that as slightly odd for a 22 year old but in my eyes, she can do no wrong! I was super happy when I found this top and I know I will be wearing all the time!

Please excuse messy looking room ... it's really not that bad!

I am sure I bought a couple of other things but really can't remember what they were. 

That was my shopping trip and my purchases which I am very happy about! I am sure I will be reviewing some of the stuff I bought but if you want me to review anything specific you see on this page just leave a comment below and I will see what I can do =D

I am off to go watch Disney Heros and Princess' on Ice now!

Ciao for now,

Jazmine
