The Argan Company // argan oil review

I would like to introduce to guys to my new favourite product in the world! 


I got sent this product about a week ago from The Argan Company (make sure you check the out here):

http://www.theargancompany.co.uk/

I had heard many great things about this product as so was so excited to give it a try for myself and I was not
disappointed!! It literally is 'liquid gold' and I don't know what I ever did without this product! 

It has so many different uses and so, at £12.99 a bottle, is more than worth the money. On top of this a little 
goes a very long way!! 

First up I used this on my hair. As you guys know my hair goes ridiculously dry and horrible and so I 
tried a little bit of this (just a pump) on my hair when it was wet and then brushed it in with my tangle 
teezer and left it in. It made my hair so soft and shiny and, most importantly for me, it wasn't dry at all! 
I then braved this product on my face. I was a little worried it would make my skin greasy and even more 
spotty but it cleared up my spots in not time. My skin felt so much softer and had such a healthy glow to
it without looking greasy and horrible! :) 
You can also use this product on your nails which I did. I applied it to my cuticles which it really softened. I 
have yet to try some of the top tips that are in this pack but the fact it uses to words 'soak' and 'relax' 
make it sound pretty good to me haha! 
Finally I used this on my body as a moisturiser and also to try and get rid of scars. It seems to be having a similar
effect as bio-oil on my scars and stretch marks which is great and it has sorted out my dry elbows and knees. 

You don't need to use a lot of this product for it to have an effect. If you use too much on your hair it 
can make it a little greasy so make sure you don't go crazy. One pump is great! 

I usually like to write a balanced review (that will be my A-Level History haha :p) but I can't think of any negative for this product. I absolutely love it and I understand why it has got such great reviews from everyone! I would definitely recommend you giving this product a go as it is worth every penny! You can order it online (I put their website just above) and you can tweet the company and let them know what you think of the products. 

A massive thank you to 'The Argan Company' for sending such a brilliant product for us to try out. 

Hope you guys are all okay!

Beverly Hills formula whitening tooth paste // black

We got send two tubes of the new Beverly Hills formula Black whitening tooth paste to try out and review. I know what you are thinking, a black tooth paste that makes your teeth white?! That is exactly what I thought when I first heard about this product but it is all very scientific! The activated charcoal helps to eliminate any bad bacteria and neutralise any odours... I know, snazzy!


So this is the product! Anyway, I have been using it twice a day for about a week now and I am pretty impressed. Although my teeth aren't loads whiter I can definitely see a difference and, after having a naughty curry and a glass of wine the other night (I know, both are horrible for my teeth. Slap my wrists haha), I could see a huge difference when I used this! 


Along side it's whitening properties this tooth paste is great for keeping my mouth feeling fresh. This taste itself is not too minty but it leaves you feeling very fresh for most of the day :) as well as making sure your teeth look white and sparkly, you HAVE to make sure your tooth paste is looking after your teeth, which this one does! It has low abrasion and hydrated silica combined with the activated charcoal makes this tooth paste safe to use every day. 
 
I would definitely recommend you trying this product and seeing if it works for you! Remember to check out Beverly Hills formula and look at their other products because I would highly recommend all the ones I have tried!

Hi guys, its Abbie! 

I've used this for about a week ish and I love this toothpaste already! 
It is a charcoal based toothpaste and it is black (clues in the name haha) the colour is like BAM, black toothpaste, never thought I would see that! My life is complete. 
It's also minty, which is great! I do believe this improves the colour of your teeth aswell, my mum (who has also been using this) even said the next day about it with just a smile haha! I'd definitely definitely recommend this to anyone, it makes your teeth feel so clean aswell as improving the colour! So I'm definitely going to be purchasing this product once I have ran out!
A huge thank you to Beverly Hills Formula for sending us this product to try! :-)

Real techniques // review

Hey guys! I feel like I haven't posted in ages. Today, I decided to write about my new favourite thing, my 'real techniques expert face brush'. 

I am not going to lie, I have never been a brush person (I tend to just use my fingers) but so many people are raving about these brushes, I had to give one a go. I got myself the foundation brush from Boots for £9.99 which I didn't think was too bad considering the fact I also collect my points. 
The brush itself is really firm and broad making it perfect for applying liquid foundation. It takes a little longer to apply than just using your fingers but the results are so much better. I use a sort of 'buffing' technique which gives a really good finish. The over all look created is a lot more natural and even. My only negative would be the fact I seem to have to use more foundation now I am using them. It isn't considerably more (2 big pumps instead on my usual 1). 



It is a really good quality brush and none of the bristle have fallen out on me which most brushes do! I will definitely be getting myself some different sorts of these brushes. I know they do a really good set in boots (I think it is £21.99 but don't hold me to that haha) so I might treat myself!! 

It is important with brushes that you make sure you wash the regularly. My friend suggested just using a baby shampoo and leaving them to dry which I think I will give a go in a week or so. If you have any real technique brushes, let us know! @scoshgirls 

Also, exciting life news (well, exciting for me haha :p) I have applied to some more agencies and production companies today and, hopefully, I will get a reply soon! We will also soon be review some products from The Argan Company who have been kind enough to send us some of their products which is really exciting news :) 

Hope the new year is treating you well!!

Christmas Day #5!

Today your festive treat is... 

My favourite festive films! 

I have started watching Christmas films and I forgot how much I love them! 
My favourite is 'Love actually' I think this is such a lovely film full of sad and happy moments and a lot of quotable lines! Loads of romance and festive cheer so perfect to watching with the girls on a night in  with Christmas treats! 
I also love 'Elf' I think it is absolutely hilarious and such a feel good film! Even my step dad loves this film and he is the biggest scrouge I have ever met :p (talking about scrouge, it wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of Christmas carol! That film is brilliant!) 
My mum and I have a tradition where every year since I can remember we have watched 'Rudolph the red nosed reindeer' it is not a particularly famous film and must be so old now but every year it gets me in the mood. I could probably quote the whole film and it is such a lovely story! If you can get your hands on this (it will probably only be on video haha) you definitely should watch it with your family. It is adorable :) 
I have lots of other ones I really like for example some of the more traditional ones! These are the ones that I watch every year without fail though. I also really want the watch nightmare before Christmas which is apparently really good! 

Not a Christmas film but I went to see 'catching fire' last night and it was absolutely incredible. One of the best book to films I have seen. It stuck to it really well and the cast is just amazing, they are all so talented. I would definitely recommend it to everyone, even if you haven't read the book! (If you haven't read the books and you like reading, you should give them a go. It is such a good story with really strong characters!) 

Hope you are all okay! Don't worry, tomorrow is Friday :p 
20 days to go (eek)
