Lynx review*


A few weeks back I tweeted about the new Lynx products and which was best for me to try. I was then reached by the lovey Lynx team who sent me these products to give a try. So after a few weeks of testing I am finally getting around to review this.

The Lynx team sent me the Iced musk and Ginger daily fragrance along with the matching antiperspirant.

First up is the daily fragrance which is described on the can as 'Iced musk and ginger. A sharp icy fresh fragrance that kick starts your adrenaline fueled day.' I love this sent it isn't too weak but at the same time isn't too overpowering. I have been wearing this daily. Just a spray on the body, wrists and neck and you are set for the day. The fragrance lasts and soaks into the skin perfectly so you aren't just left with a layer of shiny spray which I have had with some sprays. I love the scent too along with it not been too overpowering I have found it suits me as it isn't too masculine which is perfect for me as it doesn't raise too many questions.

Next up is the matching antiperspirant. Although this says on the can it is 48 hour I do spray this daily just to make sure I am smelling good daily. I can't wait to try more of these scents in the future as due to the lasting of the product and how good they smell I will definitely be repurchasing these in the future. I have honestly loved this product as I am always getting paranoid on how I smell and thanks to these I stay smelling good no matter what.

So there you have it have you tried the Lynx daily fragrance sets? What do you think?

Geeky clothing haul

You really can't beat Primark for clothing especially when it has something to do with games too. I made the mistake of calling in just after pay day and here is the damage.


This Call of Duty jumper was the first thing I picked up at £12 it is a real steal. I made sure to buy this in a bigger size so it is super comfy to sit and game in.


Any one who know me knows I love Assassins creed so this tee at £8 was a must. Especially with the movie coming up I know have something to wear when I go watch it.



Next up was these super comfy Pokemon pajamas. These are only £12 but I am already in love with them, they are perfect for just lounging around in. I have my eyes on the Call of Duty and Assassins creed ones now. 


Next up is this bargain £5 Assassins Creed t-shirt. I can't wait to wear this with my shirts just to top of my daily look.


 Next stop was Tesco because for some reason my mum has decided we have to wear Christmas t-shirts for Christmas day. This one was only one that was jumping out at me but I think it is perfect for me and cost only £10.


Last stop was HMV. This wasn't for clothing but to take advantage of the 3 Disney DVD's for £20 offer. I have been looking for this Lilo and Stitch for a long time now so had to get it along with my two other favourites Aladdin and Hercules.

So there you have it that is one of my hauls there will be another up later in the week as once again I have spent up.

Gunk Go shampoo


I used to find it an absolute nightmare to get rid of all the hair products I used daily. But then I stumbled across this Vo5 Gunk Go shampoo in my local poundland. This is my 4th bottle of this shampoo and unfortunately I can't find it any more so I guess I am on the look out for something similar now.

What I love most about this is that it does exactly what it says on the bottle the gunk really does go. Daily I use the Vo5 fluff tamer, Lynx styling clay and Johnny's chop shop hairspray so I need to get rid of all the gunk out. It doesn't take a lot of this shampoo to do the job just a small pea size amount works just fine, meaning this lasts quite a while. Once this has been used my hair is back to it's normal fluffy out of control self.

If I could find this again I would definitely buy a lot of bottles just to get stocked up. Can you recommend a replacement for this product? Let me know on twitter or in the comments below.

Hair haul


So once again the no spending has gone straight out of the window. Once again it is hair products I have bought like I need any more. I love when boots do 3 for 2 and when you can find complete bargains in the poundshop. So here is what I bought.


I went into Poundland just to see if they had anything in as sometimes you can pick up some great products. Lone behold I found these Fish hair products, now in boots these can vary in price up to something like £8.99. Been a big fan of trying new hair products there was no way I was leaving these behind. I managed to pick up the Soho Kingfisher wax and this sculpting stick I haven't seen anywhere else before. I can't wait to try both these products out.

I then went to my local candle shop Tigers eye where I finally managed to get my hands on the barbershop Yankee candle. I had been looking for this for a while and after just a few burns so far I am loving it. But that is all going to be in another post another day.



Next stop was the boots 3 for 2 on men's hair care offer. This has given me the perfect chance try out the Johnny's chop shop range. I first saw the range on Instagram and knew instantly I had to give it a go. On the offer I picked up 2 hairsprays, 1 can of hobo hair dry shampoo,  1 shampoo and a texturising spray. My other half also got the moisturiser from this range. Again this is all I will say on this as I do have another post planned soon.

So there you go as you can see the spending ban is going well. Have any products you recommend let me know in the comments below.

This week #2


This week has flown for me. It doesn't feel two minutes since it was Halloween and now we are counting down for Christmas. I have literally just got back from a small pub crawl for my uncle's birthday. This was perfect due to spending time with the family. Next week I am determined to loose a little weight because my eating this week has been terrible. I have also barely done anything after work as I have been trying to clear my room ready for Christmas and so I can finally clear the loft ready for my games room.

This week I have.

Been watching : As I have just said above most of my time has been spent cleaning however I have watched the odd couple of football matches.

Been reading : I haven't read anything lately but I really do need to start again.

Been playing : This has also been put on the back burner for cleaning so unfortunately I haven't played anything.

Been listening to : Whilst cleaning I have been blasting Shura and Tegan and Sara as usual.

Bought : Once again I have gone and bought more hair products and even a barbershop scented Yankee candle.

So there you have it that's my week. How has your week been?

October favourites


This month has been great for me I had a lovely weekend away with my family and managed to complete stoptober which I never thought I would be able to do. I have desperately been trying to get my room cleared out so I can make a start on cleaning the loft ready for my games room which is taking a lot more time than I originally thought.

So here is what I have been loving in October.


Lynx natural styling clay
I am hooked on this I bought it to give it a chance and now I have used it everyday. It only cost me £2.98 and it gives such an incredible hold. It is super easy to wash out as well. I think this is what I will be repurchasing over and over again.


Lynx signature daily fragrance
I wont write too much about this as I have a post planned for this shortly. All I can say is I love it and I am using it daily which I totally didn't expect.

L'Oreal hydra energetic 
Again I won't say too much as I have a post lined up however I am noticing a huge difference in my skins softness and my tattoo brightness.

No7 day cream.
I got this after seeing a blog post Zoella wrote a while back and I have to say I love it. My face has definitely got better after using this daily and I will be buying this again.

So there you have it those are my October favourites. What did you love in October? Do you have any product recommendations?  Let me know below.
