Percy & Reed-Hair Products


Over the past few months I have been really into looking after my hair and wanting to keep it in really good condition. There are not many things I would say that I "like" about myself, however my hair is one of my favourite features. I have naturally thick hair and so when I blow-dry my hair I like to use a heat protector as well as some form of a serum. I usually buy these serums from TK Maxx as they have high quality products for a much smaller price (it's basically a shop which has end of the line products, clothes, furniture-anything really-from brands such as Calvin Klein & Michael Kors.

Whilst I was shopping in my local TK Maxx the last month I spotted that they were selling Percy & Reed products and got just a tad over excited (I had heard ViviannaDoesMakeup talking about them).Of course, I had to buy some!



 The first product I picked up was the 'Superstar Supersized Bodifying Cream' which I have been using after brushing through my heat protector.The good thing about this product is that it is packaged with a pump and  you only have to use one pump at a time! (so good value for money). Not only are the Percy & Reed products beautifully packaged with cute drawings and fonts but the smell is truely INCREDIBLE. I don't even know how to describe it, but it smells like elderflower. So far I have used this about 10 times and still have loads left in the bottle. I have to say that I have noticed a difference with the texture of my hair since using this product (definetly more shiny) and have gotten many compliments. I bought this product for around £6 which I think is totally worth it and I do regret not buying more however it was a try and buy situation. Usually this is £14 and I would say that I would repurchase this based on how it has benefited my hair.



Here are pictures of the beautiful bottle ( me trying to be all artistic with the picture below)




My second product is 'Brilliant Beautiful Superglossing Mask' which I have only used once so far. I used this after I had been on a camping weekend with school-not out of choice. I also came to the decision that I would never go camping again in the UK. I cam back and my hair felt DISGUSTING. I knew that I needed a deep cleanse and so when I remembered that I bought this from TK Maxx along with the other Percy & Reed hair product I lathered this on my hair, hoping for something to revive it. And I do believe that this did the trick. It transformed it from dry and gross to beautifully glossy. This was the first hair mask that I have ever used and I must say that I fell in love with it. I like the fact that hair masks are something you use once in a while, not everyday and are almost like a treat. Again, this Percy & Reed product smelt divine! I bought it for around £8 and in shops it is £18! again I grabbed a bargain! I would maybe buy this again however I think that masks may be something which I would like to experiment with.

Here is a picture of the mask in the original box:


 When I got my ELLE magazine this month ( I was lucky enough to get an subscription for my birthday) it came with a Percy & Reed 'Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm'. I was really surprised and excited because of the positive experiences I have had with their other products. To be honest I have not tried this product yet but I have high hopes for it. It smells exactly the same as the other products

I have and I can't wait to use it. The original price is £18. For the size of the bottle 75ml I think it is on the pricey side so I don't know if I would buy this myself however for a FREE gift it is lovely.

 I hope you enjoyed my first proper blog post. I wish that I could have done one sooner however I have lots of exams and jobs which I have been doing.

Please comment and tell me what you thought of this post and if you would like to see me do more reviews.

 Lots of Love

Hello Everybody!

Hello Everyone,

This is my first blog post and to be honest it is not something I would usually do (create a blog that is). However following lots of popular blogs like 'Vivianna Does Makeup','Zoella', 'Sprinkle of Glitter' really has inspired me to have a crack at it. I love photography and writing about products,trends and all things beauty related so I thought I could try my best and just see what happens. I don't want my first post to be cringey so I will keep this first one short and sweet.

My Names is Emily (as you can see this is me) 
Make-up in particular is something I have always had a huge interest in and is something I have collected for around 5 years now.My collection is no where near as large as someone like Tanya Burr but I love all my little bits and bobs all the same. On the topic of make-up I recently purchased the Naked 3 Palette- yes, I bit the bullet. It is a palette that I have wanted for quite a long time now and I can totally see why everyone went CRAZY for it when it came out. I will probably do a blog post on it soon so I won't go into much depth now.

 Anyway back to blogging.Blogging is something which I think is now becoming a very popular way for people of today to express themselves and share experiences. I want my blog to be somewhere where I can post things about what has been happening in my life and share things with with you all. 
I will try and blog as often as I can however due to the fact I am still at school the days will vary.

If you would like to know more about me you can read my '25 Facts About Me'. I hope you enjoyed my first post! Feel free to comment :)

<3 Lots of Love <3
