Hair care favorites 2015.

18:00


          Every single time I talk about 'hair care' I somehow fit Nelly products in to the subject and I don't know how I have grown to love them so much. I remember the first time I purchased the product after having my hair chopped off at the beginning of the year (this sounds like a romantic comedy or something), but it did actually happen. Once I got my hair cut I went out on the hunt for hair products that would work great with my hair and create the finish look I wanted, and Nelly was the one.


          I think the straightening shampoo and hair mask will forever be my two faves although these are no longer available in most shops (sadly). These left my hair feeling nourished and rich in shine and still made my hair look healthy and straight which is one thing that most straightening shampoos don't actually do.



          To be completely honest I am not as happy with Nelly's new collection as I was with the previous. Maybe its just the retailers I know and buy from don't have the complete collection, I don't know as I haven't yet researched as much as I should.




          With that said, I do still have a couple of favorites out of their new collection, these being the normal  shampoo, the ultra repair shampoo and the hydra shine hair mask that contains apple extracts (it smells amazing!!).


          Now that I have bored you 'Nellyless' I do have one other product I have been loving and this is the volumising dry hair shampoo from Batiste. I love how this product seams to last me forever although I use it every day regardless, and obviously it leaves my hair non greasy and volumised as you would expect from a volumising dry hair shampoo.

          And they are my top hair care favorites. I know I hardly mentioned any for a year worth of favorites, but these are the absolute favorites as I have used them non stop and they are my number one recommendations!

Anatomicals has been one of my pamper routine favorites this season. I started out loving the 'Look you've got chocolate all over your face' Chocolate Face Mask back in September when I bought one as a present for my auntie and took it out to Portugal with me.


Last week I thought "ups, I better top up on my Anatomicals face masks" whilst in Primor as I am setting up a little Christmas Jiffy bag for chummy (yes chummy it was for you, not gonna lie) and so I did.

Then, after going round and round shops I headed home just to find a package Anatomicals them self had kindly sent to me, and this is how it read: 

you are an unpopular, fat, unattractive, talentless dimwit with no sense of humour, no aesthetic taste whatsoever, bad personal hygiene, a disproportionately large head, misshapen feet, dry scaly skin and an horrendous dress sense. actually, we meant to say that you're an extremely popular, svelte, beautiful, incredibly talented genius with an unrivalled sense of humour, amazing taste, someone who's always shower fresh and has a perfectly proportioned head and feet, smooth luminous skin and a dress sence Chanel would envy. but instead of this being a compliment slip, we're guessing it sort of turned into a Freudian slip.

After laughing out loud (literally) and again, reading this to my mum I took a look inside to find another variety of face masks I have yet not tried or seen before. My favorites (packaging wise) has to be "The hottie tottie is never spotty" anti-blemish face mask and the "Farewell the scarlet pimpelhell" deep cleansing mud mask just because of their funny little descriptions and names!



May I just say, Anatomicals packaging is THE BEST and I love every little detail and thought they put into every product that makes them so unique and cheerful.



Also I received the "oi you throbhead" headache relief balm and may I say "this isn't despite what it appears to be, a tin of soothing headache balm. In fact, it's your own size Indian masseur by the name of Kuldip, who is constantly available to take away (an Indian take away) your throbbing cranial pain. Oi! Are you calling us a liar?" (See, I told you the read ups about these products were amazing).



And lastly, there is the "Never lose your cherry" spf 8 lip balm. I expected this balm to be tinted as soon as I read the cherry bit, but it isn't, and that isn't the only bonus, it leaves your lips feeling GREAT and smells amazing!!

Before I go, I'm just going to write below the label I received on the outside of my package and if you have or are going to try out anatomicals products I want you to tell me what you label them (I'll also label them below).

at anatomicals, we'be been labelled crazy, we've been labelled anarchic, we've been labelled witty, we've been labelled clever. we've been labelled barmy, we've been labelled pathetic (some humourless member of the public took objection to the name of one of our products and wrote to tell us so). we've been labelled great value for money, we've been labelled quirky, we've been labelled cheeky and we've been labelled the Body Shop's naughty little brother and we've even been labelled the devil's spawn of the personal care world. (you would normally expect something a little kinder from your parents, wouldn't you?) now that one of our labels has been stuck to the front of this package and sent your way, you can decide for yourself what we should be labelled.

So I guess now its my turn. I label them quirky, cheeky (but never in a bad way), great value for money, "bomb" packaging, and I label them the "go to present". What do you label them?
