Turn Waves into Filthy Curls - Umberto Giannini Filthy Curls Scrunching Jelly

I have always been cursed with in between hair. It is not curly and it is not straight, for years I used to tell people it was kinky! *cringe* 

I never quite knew what to do with it because the straightened-within-an-inch-of-it's-life-look does nothing for my face shape and when I curl with a hot curler it doesn't hold well. That is until I discovered this product. 

How I use it: 

I wash my hair in the shower as usual and when I get out I towel dry it I then take about a €2 coin amount on my hand and begin scrunching it into my hair. The texture is a bit sticky so do wash it off your hands after. I continue to scrunch it a bit while doing my make up and let it dry naturally. I think they say the best results are from using a diffuser but I just couldn't be arsed with all that messing about!! Then I let it dry and stick some serum on it when it is done. 

Anyway, I digress, what I love most about this product is the fact that even if my hair is dry (to touch) and frizzy and I can't do anything with it, a splash of water and a little of this sorts it right out. It does require a serum or a defrizz spray after usually. 

The Verdict:

All in all I do not know what I would do with my hair if it weren't for this product. It is available in Boots in the UK and Ireland and you can get it in a trial size so I would suggest getting the trial size to try it out and be sure before committing to a full size version. I actually carry around the trial size in my bag, just in case I have to go somewhere important to go and I haven't had time to do my hair before I leave. 

Have any of you tried out this product? How did you find it? Have you any tips or tricks or posts about any similar products?

Boots No. 17 Photo Flawless Skin Primer

When I saw that Boots "teenage" range No. 17 had come out with a primer I was a little dubious as to it's quality and passed it up a good few times when in Boots but eventually curiosity got the better of me and I bought it, simply because if it was terrible I wouldn't have lost out  lot of cash as it is very affordable at approximately  €8 and boy am I glad I did!

I have been using it for the last three or four weeks and it has been constantly in my "necessity make up bag" in my handbag. I have used it under my make up and all on it's own and it does exactly the job I am looking for from my primer.

I typically reach for it, in earnest, the morning after the night before because it helps to give the skin a lovely finish. So even if you are feeling rough your skin will still look gorgeous. The texture is beautiful. It is soft and silky in texture and has no scent.

This product was released with a foundation but I actually couldn't even bring myself to purchase the foundation as the shades are pretty unwearable for my skin tone.

Have you tried this product? Did you try it with the No. 17 Foundation? If so how did you find it?
