October Wishlist by casey-byrne featuring a skeleton dress

 

I've been so busy with work over the last few weeks that I almost completely missed the October wish list! My time management has taken a right beating since the start of term and I've wholeheartedly adopted 'Better late than never' as my daily mantra! I'm the worst employee...

So the wish list is looking rather dark this month but with Halloween just around the corner I think it's an acceptable route to take. The Topshop contrast collar dress is so Wednesday Addams and both that and the Motel tea dress have got my clothes fund crying out to be spent. Luckily, I got a bit of a pay rise this month so I may have to give in with the excuse that I'm dressing up as Wednesday for Halloween.
The watch is an absolute beaut! It's from a company called WeWood who craft watches entirely of wood remnants which makes the watches kinder to skin as there aren't as many toxins to irritate your wrist. They stock a variety of styles and colours/types of wood and WeWood plant a tree for every watch sold. I'm always keen to get on board with a good cause so I'm putting this on my Christmas list (AH the dreaded C-word!) and most likely going to buy one as a gift too.

    I've started so many outfit/haul posts recently and haven't been able to post them due to my irrational fear of cameras but I've just bought some items that I need to share with you so will dust of the canon and post something up soon, promise!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse® OR



    I didn't do a Glossybox review for the June box as I was, again, unimpressed with it and had no motivation to review the products. Also, I didn't fancy writing a negative post because that's no fun! I've since unsubscribed to Glossybox and am on the prowl for a new beautybox subscription so if you have any recommendations please let me know.

There is one good thing that came out of that box though, Huile Prodigieuse OR by Nuxe. I love this product so much that I just want to scream about it from rooftops! I won't do that, but my blog is the next best thing so I will share it with you.

 

 

    Huile Prodigieuse OR is a multi purpose dry oil that is compiled of 92% ingredients that are sourced naturally. Among these are 6 precious plant oils (Borage, Sweet Almond, Macademia, St.Johnswort, Hazelnut and Camellia) which Nuxe have combined with Vitamin E to create a nourishing formula that will repair and protect skin and hair.
     Each review of this product I've seen has focussed on the products benefits for skin but I used it on my hair and couldn't be happier with the results.
I worked the oil through damp hair from tips to scalp, wrapped my hair in a dry towel and left for about 25minutes and then washed my hair normally.
The directions for use suggest 15-20 but I went for a little over 20 as my hair is very thick and quite damaged from so much heat styling. I was worried that this would mean that it would take more to get the oil out of my hair and was concerned about a greasy after effect but there was no such issue.
    This left my hair so smooth and manageable without making it feel heavy. It did wonders for product build up and made my hair feel a little stronger and in better condition all round. After one use, there's still quite a bit left in the bottle, which was a 10ml sample, so I'm going to use it every few weeks to give my hair a more deep cleanse treatment and to revitalise it a bit. In the mean time, I'm going to attempt to find some products which will deliver the same results but that are more in my price range because at £34.00 for 100ml, I won't be able to afford this one for a while yet! You can shop the Nuxe range here and if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear from you.
