THE SUNDAY SHAMPOO
You know when no matter what you do or how long you stand under the shower or how little conditioner you use, your hair just never feels clean? Well even those of us with dry hair get that feeling every now and again. My hair hasn't felt clean for months and for someone who has to spend an hour straightening their hair after washing there is nothing more frustrating than washing and drying just to find a greasy head of hair. I avoided the Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo for years as every would say, "oh no don't use on dry hair types" and I was worried it would completely strip it making it feel straw like. I tried the Ojon Cleansing Conditioner and really liked it but it wasn't a product I felt I could work into the roots which is where I really needed the cleanse. I recently read in Allure magazine that the Sunday Shampoo is in fact one of the more gentle clarifying shampoos on the market so I immediately added it back onto the wish list and picked it up in Paris a couple of weeks ago.
I wish I could actually use this every Sunday as the name suggests but I hate washing my hair so therefore would not ruin my perfectly good Sunday doing so. I will be using this every other or every third wash from now on as it was fab! I really worked it into the roots of the hair and then followed with a conditioner on the ends. It didn't strip or dry out my hair at all but it did give it that clarifying feeling and remove any excess product build up from all the masks and heat protectors I pile onto my hair.
I'm a convert and I'm annoyed it took me so long. If you have dry and damaged hair, do not be afraid of this shampoo. Use it sparingly but if you have product build up and you want fresh, clean hair... this needs to be added to your shower asap.
LONDON SHOPPING & STRAWBERRY MARGARITAS // WEEKLY VLOG
Ready for another weekly vlog? This week I also filmed a bit on the weekend and I had such a nice day out and about in London. I hope you enjoy catching up and there will be another video coming your way this Thursday!

MONTHLY MAKEUP ROUTINE: MARCH
This month's Monthly Makeup Routine was a toss up between two makeup looks I've been loving, but when I asked on Twitter most of you wanted the green smokey eye. This is an incredibly easy to wear, daytime green eye using some of my favourite MAC eyeshadows and my current base of choice.
So I hope you get some good tips or product recommendations from this month's video and hopefully next month I can show you the bright blue eyeliner!
MY NEW FAVOURITE CONCEALER
PAY DAY PICK
The fact that I love the Sarah Chapman Intense Hydrating Booster is definitely not new news, especially to those of you who had to hear me bang on about it on the Beauty Chat Live tour. It's an incredible serum that instantly adds a boost of hydration that my skin craves in the morning before applying my daily makeup. Whenever I'm asked for moisturiser recommendations I always point in the serum direction as I find this is the product that really helps my dry skin and works better than any moisturiser. I've recently been using the Overnight Exfoliating Booster too and have added it to my routine around three times a week. I don't actually own a physical exfoliator anymore as I don't tend to enjoy using them, instead this serum is a really nice way of exfoliating using gentle acids to remove dead skin cells and resurface the skin. I use the Intense Hydrating Booster for my dryness in the morning but step 2 helps with the texture and brightness of my skin.
For me, these are there perfect pay day treats and there are three 'Boosters' to pick from depending on what you want and need. These two work great for me as a morning and evening treatment and I'll definitely keep repurchasing because for me, they work. Have you tried the Sarah Chapman Boosters yet?
