Instanatural Hair Care Review

Last week in the post I received 2 products from Instanatural, This company sell skincare as well as haircare products, these are made with all natural and organic ingredients. The entire range of products are made with-out harmful alcohols, parabens and sulphates which can be quite irritating to the skin. Instead they focused on formulating their products with the highest quality ingredients that can be found through-out the world. Their mission is to create natural solutions that are both effective and affordable.

I received the Superior Hydration Argan Oil Hair Mask, this product retails for £17.95 on their Amazon store with free delivery in the UK. I also got the Luxurious Argan Oil Hair Treatment & Elixir which retails for £19.95 also with free postage in the UK.

The First one I used was the Argan Oil Hair Mask, this is a deep conditioning treatment designed to transform dry, damaged hair into soft, shiny, healthy hair, it is packed with restorative ingredients such as , Argan Oil, Japanese Green Tea, Amino Acid complex, Coconut oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba oil, Avocado Oil & vitamin B5, together these penetrate hair and leave it super hydrated with loads of shine. The intensive ingredients also strengthen the hair to defend against heat damage and other external aggressors. This is thee perfect product for my hair as many of you may know I  have one section of my hair bleached within an inch of its life, so I found that when I left the mask in as an overnight treatment that is when I achieved the best results.It left my hair sooo hydrated, feeling so healthy and it looked extra shiny.

 The aroma off this product is gorgeous, reminds me almost in the Palmers body butter as does the texture, even after applying the product my skin felt super soft.

The second Product I used was the Argan Oil Hair Treatment & Elixir, This product is also jam packed with Argan Oil, Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil and Shea Butter. This revitalizes weak, limp and lifeless hair. It quenches dryness, tames frizz and infuses instant long-lasting luminous shine. Their unique formula contains 100% buttery rich plant oils that also penetrate the hair fibre and rehydrate the dry scales of hair cuticles. In addition, Panthenol strengthens the hair by filling the cracks and the Shea Butter thickens the hair to add volume.

I found this to be a little miracle worker, especially after my hair was freshly washed , I dispensed a teeny tiny amount onto the palm of my hand, rubbed the product into my hands them little glided it over where I needed, as when I was styling I had those little fly away hairs and this tamed them perfectly. Again this conditioned my blonde hair sooo well, when compared to other hair care products this one comes out tops for me.

This can also be used as an over night treatment but it must be washed out with shampoo afterwards as it has quite an oil consistency. 

The only scent to this Hair treatment was almost like an Olive Oil smell, which i'm sure we could all put up with.

I hope you all have a fantastic day, if you wish to purchase them you can do over on their Amazon store by clicking here

but for now its Love, Hugs and kisses from

Hi Lovlies, A few months back I was contacted by the company Prairie Charms through Twitter and asked to take part in their blogger event where they would send us me out one of their fab pizzazz boxes (which has a different theme each time) filled with goodies for me to share will all of you guys , my god I am so happy that they did, this fab little box is filled with almost £100 worth of items , each one as gorgeous as the next. This time the theme is Luau Party,just think Hawaiian beach party/floral/girly.
Before I show it all off to you guys let me tell you all a little bit more about this amazing company.
Prairie Charms are an accessories boutique, each one of their quirky and whimsical items are handmade to suit each and every customer, they sell an eccletic range of floral and girly pieces,they also constantly add new and unique items thus keeping there range exciting and up to date.

 The items arrived in a super cute little pizza box shape parcel and inside the products were delicately wrapped in baby pink tissue paper and sealed with one of the company's logo stickers. such a lovely touch.

when I opened my parcel I was blown away with the number of stunning bespoke pieces that was inside, I didn't know which one to open first, it was like Christmas had come early.

The first two items were little cards, one had all of the blogger's information that were associated with this event, the other was an information card with each items name and price .

 The next was a little package from Sweet As Honey Studio, its sweetly named ''make a mess confetti'' these retail for £3.95. This is a little balloon with a parcel of confetti that you can insert inside the balloon to make your very own little ''mess'' perfect for any party.

These are the Caterina 'no snag' knot ties, these retail for £7.00, personally I will be wearing these as little wrist ties as I  think they are wayyyy to pretty to hid away in my hair, but this is my  personal preference only.

Then I got the Acadia Tropical Punch Drink Set, which was a set of 4 bamboo effect straws and a sachet of cool aid fruit punch, I thought this was such a fun little idea, my kiddies just loved the straws, this set retails for £5.00

Next was the Hand Bow Tie Scrunchie, these gorgeous little pieces are made up of Prairie Charms very own hand printed fabric and come in an array of designs and colours, I loved the flamingo design on mine as it played on the Luau Party theme perfectly. these retail for £7.50

Next was one of my favourites, I love all kinds of jewellery, but anklets anklets are one of my favourites and this piece just suited me perfectly, its the Paloma Vintage Bead Drop Anklet, it retails for £12.00, This company can tailor your items to your taste as they have done with my mine.

These were my daughters favourites, she is such a girly girl and she is soo obsessed with mermaids and all things that sparkle, so these just had her name written all over it, she cannot wait to try the glitter out on her nails, and of course mine. The Dakota Custom Nail Glitter retails for £6.50 and the Faryn Hair Grips retails for £5.00

This next one I'm sure everyone will love, it is the Una Coconut S'more snack pack, after all who doesn't like chocolate, especially when it comes in a wee ''make your own'' pack, who can resist. These retails for £3.50, I thought these would make a great wee added extra for kids sleepovers as a little treat.

 These last two I just had to save to last, I cannot put into words just how stunning these are, The purple rope necklace was a gift from the company for a little postage error so i am unsure of retail price for that , can i just say that that was just thee nicest jesture I have ever had from any comany ever!! They even placed a hand written note inside the parcel.The other item, well what can I say, what an absolutely stunning piece of craftmanship, this one of a kind, Eda Bespoke Floral Lei retails for £50.00 and im sure you will all agree it is worth ever penny, the purple flowers are such a stunning shade,  what a beauty!

I am super excited to test out each and every one of these items in more detail over the next few weeks , I will be sharing it all over on my instagram, so be sure you can check it out here, and if your not already then give me a wee follow. I cant wait to purchase more items from Prairie Charms and I hope that after seeing these fantastic products that you head on over an purchase a few too. I hope you all have a fab evening, but for now its love , hugs and kisses from

Tag your it.... Blogger interview tag

Being a new blogger in town isn't always easy so when i saw a little post on Twitter from Emily looking for bloggers to be involved in her "tag your it" blog post i jumped at the chance as it will let you all get to know me a bit better.
Before I get started I was tagged by Emily and here is her blog http://www.floraalemily.blogspot.co.uk/

1.How did you get into blogging?
I have been interested in blogging for a long time, being a mummy of 4 reading other ladies/gents blogs used to be like my little way to escape from the mayhem (hehe)  but the more I followed these bloggers the more I realised hey this is something that i really wanted to do myself, so having a passion for beauty and cooking/baking I thought I would base my blog on those as these are the  things I trained for in college when I left school, but becoming a parent at only 18 meant I had to let it take a back seat for a while. So what better way to share my love than through my very own blog. 

What advice would you give to beginner bloggers?
well considering im only new myself the best advice i could pass on is do what YOU want to do, find your neich then it will all come naturally to you when it comes to blogging about it. Also be patient, i found myself constantly checking how many followers i had on social media and how many hits my blog was getting, if your doing your best then the followers will find you and more importantly keep coming back each time you post.

What would be your dream campaign?
Im a huge fan of Marissa carter and her cocoa brown brand i follow her on twitter and snapchat, if.your not already following her then you are missing out, this lady is stunning and has a voice that would melt you.
Im already obsessed with all of the cocoa brown range but to be involved in a campaign for this would be a dream come true.

Do you have a plan for your blog?
The only plan I have for my blog is that it becomes a success and that it inspires others to start up one of their own.
i really hope you all enjoyed reading this tag interview and i hope you all have a fab day, but for now its love,hugs and kisses from LittlePainted me xxx
below are the blogs i now tag 😆😆😆

filthy velvet ( it makes perfect scents)

After browsing through Instagram's discover new people page one night I came across a company called Filthyvelvetgram, me being the nosey so and so that I am I was intrigued to say the least, when looking more into the page I discovered they were a local business close to where I live that sold scented candles (scandles) , and being as obsessed with scented candles as I am I HAD to get to know more about them and there brand.

While on browsing through the product range and the different scent of candles I came across all the candle names, and let me tell you they are Hilarious, for example there is camel toe, busty blonde, pot head... the list goes on.

I had this idea in my head that i would be burning these candles and my visitors would come in and say ohhhh whats that lovely smell, and that's when I would reply ohhh that ohh it's just  "camel toe" or "busty blonde" (hehehe) the thought just makes me laugh out loud.
I knew instantly that I would fall in love with these products so I didn't hesitate in getting in contact with the company owners  Karen and jeremy and asking for permission to do a blog with the products that I purchase. Having received permission I placed an order for the busty blonde candle (coconut and vanilla musk) this was £10.50. i lovvvve lovvve coconut scents so this was a no brainer , and I also ordered two boxes of the filthy bits which are little wax pieces to melt on a burner, I got lime,basil and manderine and the cotton fresh scents, these were both £4.50 each for a 6 piece box

. When placing my order I chose to collect in person , that way I could meet with Karen,get a little chat and possibly see more products as well and i could use it as an excuse for a road trip for myself and my partner.
Guys I cant begin to explain how lovely Karen is and how welcome she made me feel in her home, while I was there Karen showed me all the different scents herself and her partner jeremy produce and all from their beautiful home, from the very first step to the last I might add

! I was just besotted with the range of the scents and if I could I would have taken them alll home!! I am just in awe of this pair and I want you all to get to know them too so I did a little Q&A while I was there to allow you all to get to know karen,jeremy and there fantastic company, so here it is......
when was your company set up?
I set the company up in February 2015 with the help of my partner.
Where is your company based?
All our products are hand made from our home in Portrush.
Where can your products be purchased?
You can purchase our products on line www.filthyvelvet.com and through selected retailers in Northern Ireland ie Studio Souk, Belfast, Preloved by Patti & Frank, Portstewart , Memento Portrush, Touch Beauty Spa Coleraine and Sarah Butcher Make Up artist Co. Mayo. We are attending one of London's leading gift and lifestyle exhibitions in September and hope to be trading with more retailers throughout the UK and Ireland.
Who was the brains behind the company and product names?
I worked as an Interior Designer and owned my own Design Boutique for 15 years, I'm also a qualified aromatherapist which gave me a great understanding of scent combinations.. I decided to combine my skills and love for secnted candles and create my own unique range. My primary aim was to create a quality product but It was also wanted the range to reflect my own personality - fun and a little bit cheeky.
How many different scents are there?
Currently we have 14 Scandle scents available and 7 different Filthy Bits (wax melts) available but have many more in the pipeline. We would like to extend our product range to include scented oils, perfumes and room sprays.
How much does your products retail for?
Our products retail online for £10.50 & £4.50
Can your products be purchased through wholesale so that other companies can feature your candles?
Yes our products can be bought wholesale
If you had to choose a favourite scent , what would it be and why? 
I have so many favourite scents and they tend to change with the season. At the moment I am really enjoying our Pot Head  - Freshly Cut Grass Scandle but I think our WTF - Winter's Traditional Fragrance has to be my firm favourite. Its so hard to choose - I like them all!!
Where do you hope your company will be in 10 years time.?
We hope to be a real contender in the home fragrance industry wholesaling throughout the Uk & Europe and perhaps further a field.

I couldn't wait to get home to open my purchases, and I wasn't disappointed , the candle comes in a rustic little tin with company logo and candle name, these would fit in beautifully with any home decor,  and the filthy bits come beautiful wrapped in tissue paper inside a little cardboard parcel.

Its times like this I wish that there was such an invention as smellavision because Ohhhh Myyyyy F#@king God these candles and filthy bits smell out of this world!!! I have purchased other brands of scented candles / melts before but dear jesus these are not even in the same catergory  when it comes to comparing smellls! I had the wax melt burning for 2 minutes and my whole house smelled AMAZING!!!!

I cannot recommend this company enough guys, I mean if you're to do one thing today then please make it be adding these guys on facebook/twitter/instagram and placing an order of your own because I can 200% assure you that you will not be disappointed!! I am now their number 1 fan for life, I will never be buying from any other scented candle company ever !! In fact I can assure you that I will have Filthy velvet bought out of stock by the end of this year for sure!!
 I will link all of there social site pages down below,so you guys can check them out for yourselves . I know you will become a fan too.
I hope you all have a "Filthy Velvet" day lovlies but for now its loves, hugs and kisses from littlepainted me xxx ooo
