L'Opinion - Redken Nature's Rescue Cooling Deep Conditioner
Just a quick review today - I was looking for a deep conditioner without silicones, so when in TK Maxx the other day I picked up the above deep conditioner from Redken. I paid £10, but this retails for about £13 for 100ml.

The mask is a light green colour. I'd say I needed a blog about the size of a 50p to do my whole head and I left it on for 15 minutes even though it doesn't specify on the packaging. This really is cooling and makes your scalp tingle as there's a definite minty thing going on.
When I rinsed and let my hair air dry I was pleasantly surprised - this definitely helped with my heat damage on my canopy area, and left my hair soft without coating it in silicones.
All in all, a winner!

Je fas du shopping - Wildfox Couture dupe - Primark!
On my travels today, I spotted a new link in Primark in Bristol (one of their largest stores) and upon closer inspection it appeared to be a very good imitation of the Wildfox baggy beach jumpers/sweaters that are so popular on bloggers and general rich girls who can afford to spend hundreds on loungewear. Granted, this is more polyester than cotton and has 3/4 length sleeves rather than full length like most of their styles, but the material feels the same and this cost me the grand sum of £8.

Je fais du shopping - Collective AW haul
Today I decided to go into Bath. Now, Bath is great for shopping, but it's also considered great for being touristy/poncing slowly up and down pavements/sitting and being pretentious in coffee shops, so it can be a nightmare on a Saturday. Put it this way - there's a reason we moved. Nobody wants to battle through crowds of schoolchildren on a mass tour or hungover hen parties with their supermarket shopping.
Anyway I got a few things - I went wanting a black cardigan, black leggings, and black tights. I was semi-successful.
First, I went into Urban Outfitters and got a Sparkle and Fade top, reduced to £10 from £38. It's a really nice thick sweatshirt material and when you turn it over...
Then I went to Apricot and got 2 dresses, which I'm seeing with tights or leggings and boots (bare legs for September with boots, if the warm temperatures keep up).
Finally, the black cardigan! I got the perfect one - it won't bobble, it's lovely and cosy, it's not exactly cable knit but it's chunky like I wanted. It was £17.99 from New Look and it's part of their new range. I also got my leggings from H&M for £7.99. Not bad! The whole lot cost me under £60 as the dresses were £10 and £12 respectively.
I finished all this off with some rather fantastic jeggings from Matalan.

It's got cut outs! I bought a little black bandeau to go under this and one of my dresses but I could easily just wear a vest.
