Sleep-In Rollers, Tried and Tested.

I have been, for months now, SO excited to get some sleep-in rollers. I had heard some great things about them and after watching several tutorials on YouTube I finally bought them a few weeks ago.

Now, I’ve never used rollers before, so I was new to the whole thing, but after watching a tutorial on YouTube I was ready to give them a go.

First of all, it’s always better to use them on clean hair.
I personally would recommend that it’s left damp as it makes it easier to section and get your hair neatly into each roller. For big bouncy curls, you want to roll your hair clockwise, and if you want a more flicked effect roll anti-clockwise.
I wanted the big bouncy effect so I rolled all my hair clockwise.

Once the rollers were in and secured, I got ready for bed. Now…I don’t know about anyone else who has tried them, but, I found them very hard to sleep in and I was really disappointed. I mean…I knew they were never going to be super comfortable, but they do run with the tag line ‘Goodbye Sleepless nights, Hello great hair’. The first time I used them, I ended up waking up at 1 in the morning and taking them all out because I was getting so frustrated. However…I think with a  bit of getting used to, I would be able to sleep better.

Although they aren’t that easy to sleep in, they do make your hair look great, and I loved how big and bouncy my hair was when I finally managed to sleep with them in all night.  I’ve recently started just putting them in the top section of my hair for a bit of volume. This way, they don’t get in the way when you’re sleeping, but you are still left with great volume, so for anyone who hasn’t used rollers before, I would recommend doing this first to get used to them.

Sleep-In Rollers cost £17.95. With that you get 20 rollers, which for most, would be more than enough.  They also come in a really cute pink draw-string bag that you can use for overnight stays at a friend’s house. Loads of Celebs have been spotted out in their Sleep-In Rollers, Amy Child's being one of them. She has now created her own purple design for Sleep-In Rollers. There is loads to choose from on the website, so if your not sure what to buy visit http://www.sleepinrollers.com/

Also, if you are unsure how to fit your rollers, watch Hollie Wakeham on Youtube, she's a great help.  Youtube.com/pampurlounge.

Have you used sleep-in rollers before? If so, what did you think?

Soap & Glory No Clogs Allowed – Deep Pore Detox Mask. Reviewed

So I was browsing online for soap and glory skin products as I’ve heard a lot of great things about them, and I came across this product. I’m always looking for new skin products as unfortunately I suffer with oily, blackhead prone skin, so when I saw the name of this product I thought ‘Perfect, just what I’m looking for’. I also really liked the sound of the ‘Hot pore clear technology’.

It's £11 for 100ml, which seems dear, but you only use it twice a week and you don’t have to apply too much, so it actually lasts quite a long time. Inside the box you get a free mini pink sponge which helps a lot with applying evenly and it makes the taking off process a lot easier as you’re not having to splash water everywhere.

So, you apply the mask all around your face, and rub in circular motions. Once you start to rub the mask in, you will feel a heating sensation, (which is a bizarre feeling at first) and the mask will start to turn a bluey colour. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes and then rinse off with the help of the handy sponge. I found that once you wash the mask off, it leaves your skin feeling quite chalky, so really give it a good rinse until your skin is left feeling soft.

After a few weeks of using this mask, I have really noticed a difference in my skin. It’s much less oily and looks a lot brighter. I still have blackhead prone skin, but it has improved a lot. This is a product that you have to stick with, you won’t see instant results, but if you keep with it, it will definitely leave your skin looking much better.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with blackhead prone skin; however, if you have sensitive skin, the Hot Pore Technology might not be for you.

Have any of you used this mask before? Or any other heating masks? Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.

2013, The year of Celeb Babies

Happy New Year everyone! It’s a new year, and my new year’s resolution is to keep on top of my blog. I have so much I want to share with you all about new products I’ve tried and tested that I can't wait to share themwith you all. I hope you all had a fabulous NYE.

So 2013 seems to be the year for celebritiy babies! In November and December it seemed like everyone was announcing their pregnancies and for the most of them, it will be their first child. We all love a celeb baby, and they make so many headlines before their even born. Here are the most anticipated babies of 2013!

The first has got to be our Will and Kate. I think the birth of this baby is going to be one of the biggest headline stories of 2013 and if they have a girl, it will be the first time in the History of the British Monarchy that she will be guaranteed 3^rd in line to the throne.  I absolutley adore Kate and I think she will be a fantasic mum. Literally can not wait.



Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Am I the only one that was shocked by this news? Although I think they will be great parents, let’s remember that’s she’s still legally married to Kris Humphries. I can’t quite imagine Kim pregnant but no doubt we will see it all happen on KUWTK, and, I’m not going to lie, I will be tuning in to watch every episode.









Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan.
I have been waiting to hear this news for a while now. They have been married a few years now, which is centuries for a Hollywood couple and I was dying for them to become parents. They are one of the best looking couples around, so there is no doubt that this baby will be super cute.








Rochelle and Marvin Humes.
Well they didn’t waste much time did they! They got married in July and announced the pregnancy in November, so it would appear that they got straight to it. I’m not really surprised by the news of this pregnancy though as for months leading up to the wedding they both did numerous interviews stating they wanted a huge family so they have no time to waste!

Other stars that are rumoured to be pregnant but have yet to confirm are Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston, but I find it hard to believe the latter.

So which baby do you think will create the most headlines?
