Winter wollies & Tartan | WIWT

| Jumper - H&M | Jeans - Mango | Hat - Boohoo | Boots -Linzi Shoes | Bag H&M | Scarf - Primark |

 

We're so close to Christmas! & today I'm feeling a little more festive, wrapped up to my eyeballs in my favourite cable knit jumper, thick weave jeans & tartan scarf.

 

Can you believe this scarf is from Primark?! It's so thick and wooley! I originally went in on the hunt for a red tartan scarf but soon fell in love with this neutral check print instead. & to be fair, this one definitely matches my wardrobe a little better.

 

I'm still in love with my Boohoo Jillian wide brim hat, bought originally for Marbs earlier this year as a summer accessory. But it goes so well with my Linzi Chelsea boots I won in the Etail PR facebook competition this summer, and my winter wardrobe in general too. 

 

I think this outfit pretty much sums my autumn/winter style up perfectly. I like to layer, be comfortable but always accessorize. Something my always glamorous Mama taught me well!

 

Do you have a favourite winter jumper?

Dr Organic Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner | Review

 

A few weeks a go you may have seen that I was lucky enough to have won the EtailPR £250 Facebook competition (see blog post here). I was sent a box full to the brim of goodies from the likes of Linzi Shoes, Macadamia Oil, Yogi, Elemis & Dr Organic.

 

I have managed to put all of the products EtailPR sent me to the test& I'm at the stage now where I'll be writing a few separate reviews to avoid spamming you with hoards of information. But todays review is of two of the many products I received from Dr Organic, the Argan Oil shampoo & conditioner.

 

So, onto the review itself. We all know the benefits of Argan Oil for our hair, & I'm not an Argan oil virgin either, many of my favourite shower time treats are AO based, so Dr Organics shampoo & conditioner sounded perfect.

Firstly, all of the products are packaged very nicely, many of the ones I received came in lovely boxes & all the bottle caps are embossed silver which instantly look luxurious. I love bath products to look inviting as well as be great for your body/hair, so again, these little treats looked practically perfect.

 

If you read my blog you'll know smells and scents are a big thing for me. I spend half my life in places like Lush and The Body Shop getting floral and fruity products, so you can imagine my disappointment when I found the shampoo & conditioner smelt vile. You may think vile is a strong word to use, but honestly It smelt like I had smeared medicine on my hair, which I guess considering the products came from Dr Organic, that's no big surprise. But jeez, even Creature told me to wash my hair again with my usual products!

I didn't, in the name of beauty reviews, I stuck out the smell (and yes it lingered) for the next two days until I jumped back in the shower & used my trusty Macadamia Oil.

 

Putting a side the smell issues, I must admit that my hair did feel really soft afterwards & I can't deny that it's something my hair could benefit from more (that being a good wash with a good quality Argan Oil product) I can whole heartedly vouch that the shampoo & conditioner does what it says on the tin. "It smoothes and cleanses the hairs cuticle fibres leaving it looking and feeling beautifully rehydrated and revitalised". - Which it did.. But would I reach for the product again? Probably not.

 

Overall I have to admit, I don't think I could get past the smell issue. If it didn't linger quite so strongly I would have reconsidered, because it honestly did make my hair look fabulous.. But honestly I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin after using it. & no amount of shine can counter the smell for me.

 

Have you ever tried Dr Organic Argan Oil Shampoo & conditioners?

For my collage I decided to go with my 4 favourite blue dresses on the website right now. Normally I'm a warm tones kind of girl, but I couldn't help but fall in love with all 4 of these gorgeous cocktail/prom dresses.

I'm an absolute sucker for lace too which is something that Chi Chi does very well. Everything is so pretty & feminine. Perfect for special occasions or all of you glamorous shoppers out there!

 

 I think my favourite out of the four above is definitely the gorgeous iced blue Megan dress, again it's because of the lace. The cut is really classy & would be absolutely perfect for a summer wedding with a nude shoe & simple clutch bag. - It just makes me want to go shopping for fascinators!

I can't express enough thanks to EtailPR, in particular Kim, who was a great help through all my postage & courier traumas. - Some how my concierge service signed for the package but never told me they were here for 2 days! Picture me having a fit because I thought the package was lost in the mail! - Traumin'el

 

So anyway, what I Won:

 

- Yogi 3 in 1 Hair wand

- Macadamia Oil hair care maintenance kit

- Dr Organic Moroccan Argan Oil hair treatment serum

- Dr Organic virgin coconut oil hand cream

- Dr Organic virgin coconut oil moisture melt body oil

I've also put the Linzi shoes voucher to good use, but being the savvy blogger I'm going to drag that into another post. But I have managed to stretch the £50 surprisingly far!

I can't express enough thanks to Etail PR for being so helpful throughout the postage problems & all of the amazing brands for giving away such amazing products. You can bet I'll be doing some kick ass reviews of all the products very soon. In particular the Macadamia Oil will be used pretty sharpish as soon as I get a pamper night to myself!
