Lee Stafford | Beach Ready Hair



When it comes to summer I love having that beach look to my hair, whether I have it curly or straight I like having lots of volume. When I first got this package I was surprised to see that the shampoo was in a tube rather than a bottle and that the condition was a water like consistency which then foams. I have never come across a shampoo and conditioner like these so I was really interested to try these out.

Sea Salt Crystal Shampoo - £9.99
This was one of the products I was most excited to try, I have never come across a shampoo like it before. The shampoo has sea salt crystals in it which help to exfoliate the scalp whilst also adding body and texture to the hair. After using this shampoo my hair felt so much thicker. One thing I find with this shampoo is you have to spend a little longer washing it out to make sure that you get the crystals out of your hair but overall it's a great product and it's cool to try something completely different to what I've ever tried before.

Sea Salt Foam Conditioner - £7.99
I was also really excited to try the foam conditioner as I have never tried one before, at first I was a bit sceptical about the product seeming those it is in a liquid form to start off with but as soon as you pump it out it turns into a foam. I often feel like conditioner weights my hair down so I only ever use a little bit of it but it's not the case with this product as its a foam so it is light weight which is great. Using the Sea Salt shampoo and conditioner together leaves my hair with lots of volume.

Sea Salt Spray - £7.99 
I love using a sea salt spray to finish off my look, it can be used on either wet or dry hair or even both depending on how much volume you want. I usually use it on dry hair once either straightening or curling my hair to add in some more texture and volume. I love this spray as it helps to add loads of volume to my hair!


On the pictures above I have used all three products as well as curling my hair. I finished off the look by using the sea salt spray to add in some more texture! Lee Stafford products currently have 1/3 off at Boots at the moment so if you want to try anything out now is a great time!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I'll see you in my next one! Thank you to NBPR for sending me these lovely products to try out I am loving them!

Barcelona Sephora Haul






For the past 5 days I have been in Barcelona on holiday and as I was there I just had to make a trip to Sephora as I have never actually been too one before! I picked up a few things as it was my birthday and my boyfriend also treated me to the Kat Von D palette which I have wanted for ages! I went into Sephora twice, the first time I just got the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in the shade Trooper which is a jet black shade. I have used this eyeliner a couple of times now and it is the best eyeliner I have ever used! I think it beats my other all time favourite which is the Stila Stay All Day eyeliner. 

On my second trip too Sephora which was on my birthday this is when I brought everything else. I got the Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette which I have wanted for so long and I can't wait too start using it. The shades are so nice and I think I will be able to use all of them! I also picked up one of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Palettes, one thing I have too say about this palette is that it smells amazing! I have heard everyone going on about this palette and now I can see why everyone loves it. From Too Faced I also got one of their blushes in the shade - I Will Always Love You. This is a pretty peach shade with a slight shimmer in it. I love blushes like this and can't wait too start using it! The last thing I got was a Beauty Blender, I have wanted one of these for ages and they worked out cheaper when I was in Barcelona so I thought it was a great time to pick one up finally! I haven't used it yet, but can't wait too start using it as I have heard so many great things about it!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post today! If you want too see any pictures from my trip to Barcelona I have been uploading some on my Instagram so make sure you are following me on there my username is chloewrighttt!

Monthly Favourites | June 2016




Hello guys! So I know it has been ages since I have uploaded a blogpost but I was really busy with college as it is my final year and that was my main focus. Since I have now finished college and have a long summer break before I start university I really want to get back into blogging! I thought the best post too do to get back into the swing of things would be a monthly favourites, so here is everything I have been loving throughout the month of June.

The first product that I have been loving are my new GHD straighteners, when choosing a new pair of straighteners I found this stunning limited edition pair. The model of straighteners is called the GHD V Marine Allure Styler. I have always had GHD straighteners and I find them the best ones too use as they always last for ages and keep my hair straight throughout the day. I also find that they are really easy to also use too curl my hair, I love the curls I get from using these!

I recently got some new make up brushes from Spectrum Collections and these are the prettiest brushes I have ever owned, they are also super soft as well! One thing I also love about this brand is that is completely vegan and cruelty free! My favourite brush I got has got too be the B01 which is the flat topped brush, I find this the best brush for foundation as you can get a smooth and even finish and really buff the product into the skin. The C03 brush which is the tapered blush is great for powder and setting your makeup. I would highly recommend these brushes as they are really affordable and great quality for the price!

The Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation is a new favourite of mine. I have never actually brought a high end foundation, but was finding that the drugstore ones I was using just weren't the right shade and didn't sit right on my skin. So I decided to try the Urban Decay one, this is now my new favourite foundation! It sits so nicely on my skin and it doesn't even look like I have foundation on and makes my skin looks flawless! Another face product which I have been loving is the Benefit Watts Up highlighter. I think I have mentioned this on my blog before buy I recently rediscovered it. I love the golden highlight this gives and adds just a touch of glow too my skin.

Hope you have enjoyed todays post, let me know what you have been loving throughout this month!

The Perfect Minimal Makeup Look for Summer | Collab with GeorgiaMaexo




In the summer I am always going for a minimal makeup look as when it is hot I really cannot be bothered with a full face of heavy makeup. Todays post is a collab with the lovely Georgia from http://georgiamaexo.blogspot.co.uk so make sure you go over to her blog and check out her post as well.

For my base I love using The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream, the BB Cream first comes out white but has beads of colour with burst when you buff the cream into your skin. The BB cream also adapts to your skin tone to get that perfect colour and finish. I use the shade 00 which is the highest shade but as I become more tanned I will probably have to get the next shade up. To set that in place I use the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot. I use this powder through my t-zone just to get rid of any shine and to set my makeup in place.

To add a bit of colour and to bronze my skin I use a very natural blusher and bronzer. I love using The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in the shade 01 I use this is add some colour to by face and also to contour. I also use the cream blush from NYX in the shade Natural. I love using cream blushers as it helps the skin to look glowy and not powdery.

For my eyes I love going for a light champagne shade, I have been reaching for the Benefit Cream Shadow in the Shade Bikini-Tini. I love this cream shadow as it doesn't crease and it brightens up the eyes. On the eyes I will also use the Benefit They're Real Mascara which is one of my favourites. When wearing minimal makeup I will just use the Maybelline Brow Drama in Dark Blonde on my brows to add more definition.

To finish the look off I love using a tinted lip balm like the Baby Lips. I like doing this as it is adding a tough of colour to my lips but also moisturising at the same time.

Make sure you check out Georgia's post on her minimal makeup.  http://georgiamaexo.blogspot.co.uk

Summer Wishlist 2015



Now that the weather in England has decided to turn hot although I don't hold out much hope in it staying this way for very long, as you all know how unpredictable English weather is. Anyway I finally thought it was a good time to post my summer wishlist.

The first beauty product that has made it's way onto my wishlist is the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow after hearing so many amazing things about this product it has made me want it even more. I might have to pick it up on my next trip to Selfridges. The second beauty product that is on my summer wishlist is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation this is another product that everyone always seems to be raving about. I do prefer a lighter foundation in the summer so maybe I will have to give Nars Sheer Glow a go and see if it lives up to expectations.

Moving onto non beauty.. I have been eyeing up the Kate Spade Cedar Street Hayden bag for a long time now. Its such a simple bag but I feel like I need to add it to my collection as I would get so much wear out of it and its just so pretty. As it is summer I really want a pair of White Joni Jeans from Topshop as these are like a summer fashion essential. I have so many tops that would go perfectly with a pair of white high wasted jeans!

Pandora recently released their new Rose Gold collection and everything is so pretty (I want it all). I really like the Pandora Rose Gold Bow Ring it is so simple and elegant but also so pretty and I love it. I am into simple jewellery so this is right up my street. I have wanted a polaroid camera for ages and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 are so cute and its a really cool thing to have in the summer as I can take it with me and take pictures of my summer adventures.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what is on your wishlist this summer!
