Soap & Glory Pillow Plump

So, there seems to be a must for the perfect Kardashian pout the days. I too am looking for that perfect pout. Trying everything from lip liners to lipstick to create a fuller lip.

I received this Soap & Glory Pillow Plump for my birthday as I've wanted to try one of theirs for a while. I have used a lip plumper before like recently the Dior Lip Maximiser but compared to Soap & Glory I never noticed a visible difference. They have a few lip plumper and this is the newest in the range.

It has a rubber tip making application easy and smells like chocolate orange,yum.
I applied the gloss all over my lips, concentrating on the outer edge. Gave it 30 seconds...then...felt the burn. The tingle is very intense but man it really does plum my lips.

The gloss comes in five shades but I went for the clear one (boring I know) as I like to wear my lipstick...not really a gloss fan. So, once the tingle stops, roughly about 5 minutes, I wiped off the excess gloss and applied my chosen lipstick. The difference is amazing. My cupids bow area is so plumped up. I'd say the effect lasted a couple of hours but can be applied again. It's great.

This can be found in Boots stores and cost £10.

Have you tried this new one from Soap & Glory? What did you think?

Natural World Coconut Water and Shampoo

I am on a mission to grow my hair. I am determined this time. I was recommended to use this Natural World Coconut water oil, but alsp came across the shampoo too. It was a sample in Glossybox but I amazingly found it in Bodycare last week. Couldn't believe my luck.

I gave it a go and it must say my hair has never  been so silky and soft. The shine is incredible. The coconut water is meant to clean and I care for your scalp to encourage hair growth. This is the hope anyway.

When I first tried it I wasn't impressed with either of these as the shampoo never lathered that well and when I was blow drying I could still fell an oily residue in my hair. Yuk. Now that I have been playing around with it for a week now I must say it's great. The key is not to use the oil and the shampoo at the same time. I have been using the shampoo daily and the water every couple of day and only at night. I have quite soft hair anyway and this made it horrible to work with during the day.
However, the shampoo on its own is brill. It makes my hair feel fuller and squeeze clean, plus it smells amazing.

In this range there is also a caffeine shampoo which is also great for growing hair as it stimulates the hair folicles. I will try that next.

RRP £2.99-£4.99. Great value for money.

Let me know if you have any hints or tips to growing hair. I would love to hear from you.
