April Favourites 2013

April Favourites 2

So after a little blogging break of a rather long time, I'm finally back to doing what I've been wanting to do for the past six and a half months, yay! I thought I'd start by sharing products I've been loving throughout the month of April as I love to read everyone else's favourites!

Albert Balsam 2

My first favourite this month is this shampoo - it has no joke, transformed my hair! I am forever on the hunt for the perfect, thickening, damage repairing, frizz reducing, miracle, magical shampoo, and it's safe to say over the past few months a substantial chunk of my wedges helps fund this quest. Until one evening whilst perusing the internet, I read about how you should buy a shampoo for your scalp and not for your hair as that's what conditioner is for. Sounds so logical now but I had honestly never thought of this! The roots of my hair are not damaged, frizz prone, dry and are generally how I wish the rest of my hair was. So I purchased this super cheap shampoo from shampoo from Tesco for about £1 and I am in love!

It smells delicious and really leaves my hair feeling super soft and clean but not lacking moisture; I tend to wash my hair every other day and this is perfect for keeping it in healthy condition. I'm not sure about whether it truly 'tingles' but I don't think I'm particularly bothered by this!? Another fab thing about this shampoo is a little goes a long way - I've been using this for about three weeks now and washed my hair approximately 10 or so times, and so far so good!

Boots Coconut almond conditioner 2

Another product I have been loving to use this month in order to improve the condition of my hair is this beauty. I picked it up from Oxford Street Boots one evening in April after one of my best friends and I decided to go late night shopping after our dinner catch up! It only cost £1.39 and what a good £1.39 spent it was! The smell isn't too overpowering or perfume like, but very nourishing.

After I've washed and conditioned my hair and left my hair in its towel for a good 20 minutes, I'll pop a little bit of Moroccan Oil Light on the ends and then liberally spray this all over my hair and comb through with a wide tooth comb. Because it's so light I find I'm fine to comb this through from my roots to tips without my hair looking greasy (the worst!). I then go ahead and dry my hair as usual - sometimes if I've washed my hair before bed I'll spray a bit extra on the ends and let it work in overnight. The result is my hair feels lovely and soft and smells incredible, I don't know about anyone else but I love it when I can still smell the conditioner on my hair the next day haha.

Tangle Teezer 2

I never realised how much of a favourite this month this was until I tidied it away lost it earlier this month, and sheer panic set in. I love using my wide tooth comb when my hair is wet but using it on dry hair doesn't feel like it's really de-tangling my hair, and using a normal hairbrush is just no comparison! It feels like i'm ragging a cheese grater through my hair now after I discovered the Tangle Teezer!

Marc Jacobs Perfume 2

This is the perfect Spring scent! It's so subtle and long lasting, I absolutely love it. I purchased it from Debenhams about three months ago and haven't used it a great deal until the weather picked up in April and we finally got to enjoy some rare days of sunshine after what has seemed like the longest Winter ever! I can see this being a firm favourite throughout the Spring and Summer months.

Palmer's lip balm 1

I am obsessed with lip products! I have quite full lips (I know people pay for these but I find them somewhat annoying because it means more delicate skin having to face the harsh British weather!) and it's so tricky to keep them moisturised. I'm going to do a review of all the lipbalms I have soon, but for now this is my favourite! I keep it in my handbag at all times and pop it on throughout the day, it works into the lips rather than just lying on top (I hate it when this happens - Nivea, I'm looking at you!). Definitely a great buy for the price and something I'll be repurchasing.

If you have any product recommendations for me, definitely let me know below as I love to try new things! ♥
