Mazuri Shea Butter Naturals- Time for something different

October. The season where leaves fall and the abundance of strange weather. And its that time to start protecting our hair from the harsh weather, so what have I got in store for you...



Hey Guys, as you all know I love to try out particular hair products and switching it up a little. Thankfully I was contacted and sent some natural hair products through PR.  I have come across this line in my local hair shop, but never ever have I tried out this brand out before. Whenever I shop in a local hair shop there are so many products to choose from and it can be a little overwhelming at times.

The products that were sent to me to try out was the Mazuri Shea Butter Naturals line. I read some information on the Pak's website and found out its really great for all hair types, so if you are looking for moisturising products that are affordable and in your budget range then look no further than this hair brand. A little background story about the Mazuri brand, if you did not know this line was created by Pak's CEO Peter Mudahy. Having managed to transform the haircare industry for over 35 stores, the aim was to create a line for indivduals who have curly, frizzy, damaged and straight hair.

Funfact: The Shea Butter range derives from the Karite tree in Africa.

They are infused with olive, avocado, sweet almond and sunflower seed oil. These give the hair a lot of moisture as well as hydration, shine, bounce and definition.



I love the fact that the hair line caters for everyone with all different hair types whether you have straight, relaxed, curly or coily/kinky hair which is simply amazing.

The Mazuri Shea Butter range have an array of products starting from shampoos, conditioners, sprays and creams. I managed to get a hold of the Cowash and the leave in oil moisturiser. So what are my actual thoughts about this line?

You can purchase these at Tesco's and Paks cosmetics instore and online. Ingredients list on websites

Mazuri Shea Butter Naturals Cowash :  £6.99 /£8.99 473ml

Now I have not tried many cowashes in my lifetime apart from this and the Jane carter's curls to go line. This stuff is absolutely incredible, for those of you with curly/coily/kinky hair I definitely think you should try this out. Its super moisturising on my hair, glides through like a dream and makes washing your hair so much easier. I onlu used this to wash my hair and it was super quick. The consistency is quite runny as you can see in the photo below, but has creamy texture which is probably why I was able to detangle my hair in the shower. The scent is a little overpowering ( kind of reminds me of the Cantu scent) however once you place it on your hair the scent disappears.

I would rate this product a 4/5

Mazuri Shea Butter Naturals leave in Oil Moisturiser:  £4.99/£6.69 355ml

This versatile cream is used for styling, daily moisturiser and also a blow drying lotion. I had used it as a styler after washing my hair and I was pretty impressed. I did use my Alikay natural leave in spray, just so I could have a base before putting this lotion on my hair. It literally is what it says on the bottle and it gave my hair great definition especially doing two strand twists and using perm rods (Should of shown you guys results next time). I use this as a daily moisturiser too and it revives my hair very well. I think this is perfect for every hair type as a little goes a long way and helps to promote hair growth, recondition and hydrates. The cream is a thick consistency not far off from the Cantu curl activator cream The best thing about these products are they're all affordable. I know buying hair products can be quite expensive but the Mazuri line does not break the bank.

I would rate this product also 4/5

Dramatic cut crease using the Colourpop Yes please Palette

Hey all,

So are you on the hunt for a warm tone palette and finding that they're all way too expensive. Colourpop is the best option at the moment because of their new Yes please palette. Luckily enough I was able to snatch one up on the second launch. Currently the palette is sold out, however you can rely on signing up on the Colourpop website or check out their social media and even Trendmood's twitter/ IG for updates.

I know your waiting to find out how much it cost, it retails for $16 which is equivalent to £12.48. Now thats worth it compared to the Natasha Denona Sunset palette retailing for $129 (£100.62) along with the Sephora palette $65 (£50.70). You're saving a lot more money buying the Yes please palette which is travel friendly, blends every well and packed with pigmented eyeshadows.

Today I'm going to show you how I created a dramatic cut crease using the Yes Please palette. I mention some new products I use in the video too, as usual everything will be listed below and linked. Don't forget to grab a snack because this is a long video.

Updated Skincare routine

Where have you been for a whole month? To be honest I really was focusing on life, work and didn't really know what to show you guys on my blog. So throughout August you will be getting four posts, starting with my skincare regime.

My skincare regime in the summer is quite similar to last year, but I have new products to show you guys. First being the Tarte cosmetics cleansing gel and the L'oreal Paris Hydra Genius aloe water for normal to dry skin (they also have one for sensitive skin and normal to combination skin). If you are a skin fanatic then you may be interested in using some of these products. Also let me know down below what skincare products are good for normal to dry skin so  I can test them out. Yes, I do still use my simple facial wash, but haven't been using the hydrating moisturiser for a while so I decided to get some things that I have never tried before.

List of Skincare products I have been using:

L'oreal Hydra Genius-  I use this to hydrate my face and neck in the mornings or evenings instead of using the light hydrating moisturiser from Simple. It is infused with pure Aloe vera sap and hyaluronic acid.  The lightweight and non greasy gel has a cooling effect and I use this with my double padded cotton pads.

Tarte Cleansing Gel (50ml)- I think this has become a stable especially when I feel like my wipes haven't taken all my makeup off. I wet my face just like I would with the Simple moisturising facial wash and massage the gel (it foams up) on my face between 30/60 seconds and rinse with lukewarm water. After drying my face with my towel my face feels refreshed and cleansed. The best thing is its vegan friendly and fragrance free.

Simple Micellar wipes/ Simple cleansing wipes- Depending on my mood I will either use the micellar wipes for some extra cleansing or the cleansing wipes just to take minimal makeup off.

B. Beauty 3 in 1 Micellar water (150ml) - I have rediscovered this product because I used to have this micellar water and then I forgot how good it was, I decided to repurchase it again and I love to use this on my face when I have just taken makeup off or if I feel my skin needs revitalizing. Such a great micellar cleanser (as good as Bioderma). Great for toning, purifying and cleansing.

Simple moisturising Facial wash- (150ml) If you've been following my blogging journey you know this is my stable facial wash. When I say I use this every morning literally I do, click here.

What are my thoughts on: Using Cantu Curl activator for the first time.

Raise your hand if you've tried out the a curl activator cream, I know I can't be the only one.

Hey guys,

Its been a while, hope you all are doing well and looking forward to the summer. The other day I came across a few recent videos and guess what I saw, I think the title explains it all. Yes you got it! The Cantu curl activator cream.

I am sometimes quite hesitant when it comes to creams that I feel may not work some for type 4 hair. But as you guys have seen from my Bouclème experience I really enjoyed it, I thought lets give this a whirl.

Guys you know how much I love using different hair products and what works and does not work for me I will mention it to you. The first time I encountered Cantu products I tried the Cantu's leave in conditioner a few years back and hated the smell of it and I did not like how it flaked up on my hair. I decided to try the curl cream out with my mane choice leave in conditioner to see what the hype was on this product.

I assumed that this product was going to be really thin, but when it was time to use it I realised that the formula was thicker than I expected. I was extremely impressed because I ended up achieving a great wash n go with this product, I actually couldn't believe it my curls were popping, I used no gel and had no crunch just pure softness with amazing tight curls. When doing my wash 'n' go my go to is to do the shingling method. Use about a dime size for each section you do. This product is fantastic for the summer, I definitely need too see how it holds out in autumn/winter season.

My overall score would be 4/5 for this cream. If you're going to buy these products don't forget its sold in Boots, Superdrug's (currently a 1/3 off) or even your local hair supply store. Local hair supply stores usually sell it cheaper but depends where you go.

Forgot to mention I just got the coconut curling cream which I haven't used yet, I might do a mini video on IG to show my results.
