Luscious Lips

As you are all probably well aware by now, I have a slight obsession with lip products (apart from lip gloss) and I had been dying to try out Clinique's Chubby Sticks for ages.

I was luckily enough to receive one for my birthday this year and having read many reviews on how great a product it is, I was extremely happy that it lived up to expectations.

Clinique's Chubby Sticks were the first product of its kind and are designed as a Moisturising Lip Colour Balm. Chubby Sticks are brilliant for a number of reasons, but what draws me to them the most is pretty much because they do exactly what it says on the tin; they give your lips a gorgeous, subtle colour whilst also moisturising them. They are in essence a mixture between a lip tint and lip balm, however, unlike some lip tints, they will not dry out your lips. Unfortunately, the down side is that they will only last around 2-3 hours without eating or drinking and will need to applied at various times during the day.

In addition, although they are moisturising, they aren't too glossy or sticky, which are the main reasons why I dislike lip gloss so much. Also, despite my love of brightly coloured lip products, I find that you can only wear them at certain times and events, so in my opinion, Chubby Sticks have the perfect amount of pigment in order to be used all day, every day.

What's also great about Chubby Sticks is that there is no need to sharpen them, all you do is twist the silver base and it pushes the product up. Easy and simple!

Hair Rescue Remedy

As I have extremely fine hair, I am usually quite sceptical about using hair oils and serums, as they tend to weigh it down and make my freshly washed hair look greasy and unkempt.

I had already heard about the original Moroccanoil treatment, an ingenious product used by celebrities and raved about worldwide, but I knew that it wouldn't be right for my hair. So when I heard about Moroccanoil Light (treatment for fine and light coloured hair), I was intrigued about whether it would be the answer to all those previous hair problems.

I knew from the very first time I tried Moroccanoil Light that it was a revolutionary product and all those with fine hair wouldn't have to be worried about using hair oil ever again.

After applying the oil from the mids to the ends of my hair, it made it feel extremely light, soft and smooth. It also made styling easier, leaving my blow-dried hair frizz and tangle free, with a beautiful shine and gorgeous smell!

The key ingredient in this product is Argan oil, which originally comes from the kernels of the Argan tree in Morocco. This oil is extremely moisturising and nourishing, as well as having supposed medicinal properties.

Although it's rather pricey, at roughly £30 a bottle, you only need one pump per use; therefore it does turn out to be very economical. I've had my bottle for over 6 months and I've used less than a quarter, despite it being a must have product every time I wash my hair...

Moroccanoil has also won numerous beauty awards over the last few years and still remains one of the top selling beauty products in the world. It would most certainly be on my list of favourite products and one that I would recommend to anyone whose hair is in need of a little TLC.
