{NOTD}


Hey guys, I have just been completely neglecting so many things lately my blog being one of them.
I've been having a rough go lately and just could not draw inspiration from anywhere still actually having a difficult time so this will be just a quick post unfortunately. I'm so sorry I will get back into the swing of things I promise.

I haven't painted my nails in ages and all of a sudden last night I thought hmm...I should paint my nails and here we are!
I used E.l.f.s polish in "Nude" as my base (two coats) and for my accent nail I used just a dollar store glitter polish that I mentioned in a previous post. I really like nude polish as I think it can be work year round and works on almost all skin tones this one is a very pink nude but I still could see it working for varying skin tones.

I've been having a lot of trouble lately growing my nails as they get to a certain length and ALWAYS seem to break or tear and it's really frustrating so if anyone has any product recommendations to strengthen/grow nails I would really appreciate it if you left them in the comments below.

The next post isn't far away, I just have a few things I need to get together ;)

*Loreal Extraordinary Oil


Oh how I missed you guys! I hope you are all doing well. Sorry for the absence unfortunately life takes the front seat and the blog takes the back.

The Loreal Hair Expertise Extraordinary Hair Range is a line meant for normal to very dry hair. The range is made with 6 oils including; Argan Oil (healing, protecting, nourishment), Sunflower Oil (hydration), Alma Oil (brittleness), Soy Oil (Nutrition), Chamomile Oil and last the magical oil everyone loves Coconut Oil (repair)

I have very fine hair so I was skeptical of using an oil based hair range as my hair tends to get greasy quickly but this quickly changed my mind. The line is designed to nourish dry hair and create weightless hair. I've never tried a shampoo that has really wowed me in my life but this line came pretty damn close. After using this for a few washes I was over at my mom's and she noticed my hair was looking much healthier and I don't get many comments on my hair.

I use the mask once a week as I think it's too heavy to be using daily. I just put some through the ends of my hair let it sit for about five minute then rinse it out when I shower. The range has a surprisingly lovely smell to it. I've been using these products for about a month and have noticed significant changes in my hair. 

First thing and probably my favorite as I feel it was a big reason my hair was so unhealthy is that I don't have to shower as much it seems to keep the grease at bay quite well! The shampoo does not lather well but most oil based shampoos don't so I wasn't surprised. This changed my skeptical outlook as it made my hair more manageable and soft and by nourishing my hair it means I have far less breakage which I am very prone to!

I love this line a lot but....I do like to switch up my hair care routine quite regularly so I might not come back to this for a while.

*Influenster did send me these products to review however all opinions expressed are my own.
