L'Oreal Feria Review and Thank You!


So first of all I just want to say a MAHOOSIVE thank you to you all!! In under one month I have reached 30 followers here on Hinata Showers and I am so grateful! I didn't even think that one person would be interested in what I said, let alone 30. I have loved writing for you all and I am so excited about the future of this blog. I have so many ideas and I can't wait to share them all with you, so thank you for all your support!


You asked about my hair and I wanted to let you know that the product I used was L'Oreal Feria in Hot Chilli Red and I actually really liked this product. It was easy to use and I really enjoyed the fact that it came with a high shine oil which you added into the dye and I could definitely see the difference in my hair. There was plenty of dye in this pack to cover my whole head and it didn't run at all when it was on. It actually smelt very nice and the smell of the after conditioner was lovely. Considering I had quite a dark base colour to start with, it came out a very bright red and it was also very soft and shiny. All in all, I really like this product and would definitely recommend it.



Thank you all for reading and I'll speak to you really soon :)

My Eczema Skin Care Routine



Hello again :)

I'm going to be going through the products I use to keep my eczema under control and, although I don't necessarily like all products, they do work.



 Aqueous Cream is my holy grail. I use it to wash with as well as to moisturise. It's a very thick cream and has no perfume to it. I use it to moisturise all over my skin as well as my face and it leaves my skin feeling very soft. For a large tub like this I paid £4.09 and I get mine from BOOTS





This was a bit of a bonus buy really. I wanted a cream to go in my bag for my hands as they get very dry outside, especially in the winter. All the other creams that I had tried contained perfumes and made my eczema flare up horribly. This was from the 99p store and has worked wonders. I did try it on my face and it dried my cheeks out further so I have stuck to just using it on my hands and I am very happy with it!



I get Betnovate from my doctors and it is a mild steroid cream. I don't use it very often as I personally feel that it does not have any effect on my eczema and it is not something that I would get again. I have used it countless times of inflamed eczema patches and find it does not clear it up, on dry skin however it does have a small effect.



Mometasone is a strong steroid cream that is for eczema that is flared up and very angry. It is not recommended that you use it on your face as this is a very strong cream and is too harsh for the sensitive skin on the face. This is a miracle worker and with the tiniest amount heals even the worst patches of eczema.

So there you have it. It's not perfect and it's certainly not a cure but it works ok for me.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon,

My Signature Scent





Whenever people see me, they always ask what perfume I'm wearing and it's always the same one! I have been in absolute love with Paco Rabanne's Black XS for as long as I can remember. It's always the one I ask for for birthdays and Christmas and I make sure that I am never without it.

The first thing that I love about this perfume has got to be its bottle. It's almost what I would describe as heart shaped and it is a beautiful dark pink in colour. The smallest size (30ml) fits right in the palm of your hand and I just think it's adorable.

I think this is such an interesting perfume, with lots going on. I've heard it described as a dark scent but I think mysterious is more what I would go for. It's quite fruity and sweet but woody also, and would be great as an evening scent. I, myself, wear it all day everyday but that's not for everyone :) 

It can last a long time before you need to respray but that is dependent on whether you've been outside or not. An average of about 4 hours sniffing is what I would say.



I love this perfume and it's 'rock chick' feel to it but I can see why this is not for everyone. If you haven't smelt it before then I would definitely recommend giving it a go!

You can buy this perfume here.. It comes in 3 sizes and costs are as follows:
  • 30ml = £28.00
  • 50ml = £38.00
  • 80ml = £52.00
So there we have it :) If you ever want to buy me a present, you now know what to get haha

Thanks for reading everyone and I hope you're having a lovely Sunday <3
