My 6 Essential products

Image
  If I could only keep 6 products (I think I’d cry but here’s what they would be!) Hi and welcome to my fourth blog. In this blog I will be talking about 6 products that I just cannot live without. These products include a mixture of both hair and beauty products, with a collection the size that I have this is extremely hard to do. Let’s start with hair. At this present moment in time with my hair being the way it is (long and trying to get it a little bit thicker) I have been using products recommended by a family member and at this minute in time it is my favourite. John Frieda Pro filler shampoo and conditioner alongside the spray. These products state they have a 200% thickness in 1 use! Let me tell you they really weren’t lying. These products have a fresh scent which lasts for days and leave my hair feeling clean. When using the spray post shampoo and conditioner, I have found that a little really does go a long way. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of spraying way too m...

Scent Marketing Explained

  Welcome back.  Firstly, I would like to thank everybody who has read my first two blog posts and I hope you enjoy the third, and for those who have not read my first two blogs where have you been? 😂  This week I am going to focus on scent marketing. What is scent marketing I hear you ask. It is a smart use of scents which are used by companies to attract customers into their stores and increase the likelihood of positive experiences which in turn lead to transactions.   As I sit here, just out of my shower smelling of Dove Shea butter and Vanilla pampering body wash, in my head whenever I smell this scent all I can think of is a hot bath with plenty of bubbles and candles lit, especially after a long day at university or after being busy around the house. Its calming scent makes it easy to unwind and relax.  If your anything like me I have a gift for recognising scents, one whiff of Chanel and I can tell you if its number 5, Coco Mademoiselle or Allure....

My favourite bath time scents

Hi all! And welcome back to Shelves of Beauty! If you liked the first blog hopefully, you’ll like the second. This time I’ll be talking about my favourite shower gels, the ones I love the most, limited editions and the ones that make me go meh! Let’s start off with my favourite, Bath and Body works (available through next). The fragrance that I can’t, and you shouldn’t be without is “Into the Night”. From shower gel to body mist and body lotion, it has a luxurious smell and if I say so myself, is paired well with my favourite perfume, Black Opium. With shower gel ranging from £16 to the body mist that is £18, these fragrances are extremely affordable for anyone. I also really love the scent Perfect in Pink, I feel bath and body works scents leave my skin feeling cleaned but alongside their lotion feeling nourished. The scent lasts so long on my skin, and not only does it last on me you can also smell it throughout the house! The number of fragrances available from Bath and Body wor...

Welcome to my little beauty shelf!

Hi all and welcome to shelves of beauty! My name is Sophia and over the next few blogs I will be discussing all things hair and beauty. If you’ve found your way to this page save it and keep coming back for more updates on everything hair, bath and shower related. So, if you’re looking for advice on the best hair products or shower routine or looking for the best gift ideas this is the page for you! Won’t break the bank (but might hurt the pockets). You may be wondering why I called this, shelves of beauty, but if you look into my own bathroom and bedroom, you will understand why! I could sell products back to stores with the amount that I have, some bought, some gifted (but nearly all loved), I have a few that if I do say so regret purchasing but kept at the back of the shelf in case of emergency (not that it’s going to happen). The shelves full of products aren’t just a hygiene regime they are a way of improving my own self confidence from the hair masks to the lip scrub and gloss, t...
