Mark Hill Get It Straight Collection Review

After Christmas I went round to my Aunties who gave me a little gift box of a straightening collection by Mark Hill because she had two, so since then I have become obsessed by this and even gave it a Google and came across him in boots looking at the prices I wasn't too sure but popped into my local boots and purchased my favorite which was the shampoo.

This collection contains a shampoo, conditioner, a straightening cream and a straightening spray.

Mark Hill Straight-a-holic Get It Straight! Straightening Shampoo £5.49 - 

By far this was my favorite of the collection, it does exactly what it says which is in marks words supposed to make your hair shiny, smooth and super straight, the shampoo originally comes in a colorful zebra style tube containing 250ml of product, it is a colorless liquid that makes my hair super shiny which i love as some shampoo's make my hair dry out, the only downside i have to this is that it doesn't make my hair that straight which obviously isn't too bad as it is a shampoo not a miracle worker. Over all my favorite part is the smell, it smells amazing and because i wash my hair every other day my hair still smells amazing on the second day, i would reccomend it to everyone who wants to have straight hair that doesn't look dyed out.

Mark Hill Straight-a-holic Straighten Up! Straightening Conditioner £5.49 - 

As a person who is not a massive fan on conditioner I would not normally buy conditioners but as it was free off my auntie I thought I might as well try it, well ill tell you that it was one of the best products I have used, along side the shampoo this smells great and continues to smell great, alongside the shampoo it helps your hair become straight, helps make it shiny, soft and stops your hair from becoming frizzy which to me is a must. A downside to this is that if you put too much on it can make your hair look a little bit greasy like i find most conditioners do, I would defiantly reccomend this.

Mark Hill Straight-a-holic Give It To Me Straight! Extreme Straightening Spray £5.99 -

When I first got this I thought what is it ?, what do i do ?, but when i read the back it said it was a heat protector, it comes in a 125ml tube and all you do is hold it quite far away and spray it on wet hair before you blow dry it or straighten it because alot comes out and just brush through to cover all your hair and away you go, it has been formulated with a smoothing silicon to help protect your hair from the heat of your hairdryer and straighteners but the amazing thing is that it also works with them to help keep it straight but shiny, my favorite part is that it smells so nice and leaves my hair smooth afterwards, I would also reccomend this heat protector as it is the best i have used so far, a downside is that maybe for the price you could get a bigger bottle but I will be repurchasing this.

Mark Hill Straight-a-holic Straight Talking Straightening Cream £5.99 - 

This is the only one which i didn't really take to, i think this because when I used it I found it too runny and if you used too much it made my hair feel a little bit greasy, it does smell fantastic and i don't feel like it necessary because it says that it is supposed to help you get the look right which i thing all the above do already, it does say that it works best on towel dried hair so I might try that and report back, over all I don't think I will be repurchasing this product.

My Bucket List

So the other day I got talking to my friend about what we wanted to do before we were 30 and decided to make a list which I thought I would share, so here goes ...

1. I would love to travel around America it's been a dream of mine for ages and visit places such as New York, Hollywood, LA and Florida ( also dropping off a Disney land brining the young child inside me ).
2. Run the London Marathon, now I find this a strange one as I am not a big ran of running but i feel like it would be a good achievement in life, something to tell your children and grandchildren about and obviously knowing that the money you raise is going to people who really need it.
3. I would love to jump on a plane and fly first class as I am still at school studying my GCSE'S I can not afford it but maybe in the future when I have the funds.
4. Learn a language especially German I find it such an interesting language.
5. Go skiing, I have wanted to do this for 3 years but my mum was never up for it so for my 19th I am planning to go :D ( only 4 years to go haha ).
6. Go paint balling for my 16th, now you will probably be thinking "PAINT BALLING why would you choose that for your 16th" but but once again it's a dream of mine. 
7. Learn Karate, I was planning to do this when I was 7 but never got round to it but as people say "better late than never" right ?
8. Grab a friend pack a bag and see where we would end up.
9. Learn to drive and buy a car possible a Mini as I am in love with Mini's.
10. Buy a camper van and travel once again I love them and own multiple things to do with camper vans :).
11. I would love to meet famous people like duo Ant & Dec as I find them so funny , Selena Gomez I find her so down to earth and she just puts her fans first and others.
12. Own 3 dogs , A Pug, A Chocolate Labrador and A Jack Russell.
13. Go to Paris and go up the Eiffel Tower.

14. Meet famous youtubers such as Zoella, Sprinkleofglitter, Fleurdeforce, Marcus, Jack & Finn, Alfie  Caspar, Sam, Maz etc.
15. Do either of my dream jobs which are either get into the fashion business ( this was more recent as I chose textiles as there was nothing else and fell in love with it ) or be in the police force ( that I have wanted to do since I was 4 ).

Well that is My Bucket List as people call it, I hope that in the future I do complete some of these and that I am able to share it on here creating memories to look back on.

I thought before I went I would share this lovely  image of New York I found on the internet whilst doing my English course work :D.
