Review
Bumble & Bumble have got some of the best styling products on the market, Surf Spray being one of them but i have never been completely bowled over by the shampoos and conditions except for the Thickening Shampoo which is excellent.
This shampoo really intrigued me as i have never been able to do the whole effortless beachy wave style which has been in fashion for the past couple of years and this one promises body, texture and enhanced natural waves for all hair types. It is gentle enough to use daily and is just lathered through the hair and rinsed thoroughly as usual. I followed this with the matching lightweight conditioner through the ends of my hair, left for about a minute and then rinsed. I towel dried my hair, sprayed Bumble & Bumble Tonic from roots to ends and then followed with Surf Spray. It suggests leaving your hair to air dry or blow dry with a diffuser but i am far too lazy for that so i just hand dried it with a hair dryer and still managed to get a really good texture. You can also use Surf Spray on dry hair for detailing and adding lift at the roots. I was really impressed with the end results, my hair looked full and it was really easy to work worth, i worked it into a side plait. The following day my hair had a nice wave to it thanks to the products and the plait and looked great in a messy ponytail.
Overall i think this is the perfect shampoo and conditioner when you want to have a messy textured, slept in hairstyle and if you are already one of the many fans of Surf Spray then you are going to love the shampoo and conditioner too.

Review
As a huge fan of the Illusion D'ombre eyeshadows I was really excited when it was announced Chanel would be releasing their eyeshadow pens. I was a little disappointed with the colour selection, compared to the Illusion D'ombre shades i feel they aren't as wearable but if you are looking for something a bit more exciting than the usual neutrals then Cool Gold, Jade Shore and Blue Bay are definitely worth checking out. I decided to go for Moon River which is a gorgeous platinum colour perfect for a bit of everyday glamour. When you first apply the product you are treated to a relaxing, cooling sensation which quickly fades but is certainly an interesting feature. The product applies very smoothly and the colour is extremely easy to build. This is a long lasting product and looks as amazing applied straight on to the lid as it does over a powder shadow for a beautiful shimmering finish. Overall I was extremely impressed and the colour Black Stream is definitely on my shopping list!
