I’ve posted fairly regularly about my hair and the frequent dilemma I’m in when deciding on any changes to make. The first step of my transformation this time around was changing the colour. My hair was a mixture of shades – a coppery auburn for most of the lengths and blonder at the ends due to my past with ombre hair, so I chose Garnier Olia in Iced Chocolate – a rich, warm…
Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour – Iced Chocolate
I recently mentioned I was in the process of deciding on how to transform my hair after I’d grown bored with the colour and style, so I’ve taken the first step and I’ll be dyeing my hair with the new Garnier Olia Hair Dye. I’ll be saying goodbye to the coppery and blonde tones and going back to brunette with the shade Iced Chocolate. Garnier Olia is the first oil-powered home hair…
Philips Reaura – Final Update
I’ve now come to the end of my 8 week trial with the Philips Laser Skin Rejuvenation. You can read about my initial impressions and mid-trial thoughts if you’ve missed my previous posts. As a new anti-ageing solution whose primary purpose is to improve skin by reducing fine lines and age spots, I wasn’t in the target market for this product, but I was hoping to find my skin tone and…
A Natural Beauty Project – DIY Shower Gel
I was recently contacted with a challenge to get back to nature and create a natural homemade beauty product, using ingredients which can be grown in British gardens or greenhouses. I’ve always been intrigued by DIY beauty products, so I welcomed the chance to use natural ingredients to create a fresh beauty product. When I was little I had great fun making my own lotions and potions using anything I…
Philips ReAura – An Update
Back in July, I posted about the journey I was about to embark on with the Philips ReAura Laser Skin Rejuvenation. As I’m only in my 20s, I don’t yet have wrinkles to complain about, so I was more focused on whether this device could give me a more even skin tone and texture with a reduction in blemishes. I was a little apprehensive when using this for the first time,…
Philips ReAura Laser Skin Rejuvenation
The Philips RéAura Laser Skin Rejuvenation is the latest beauty gadget which I’ll be putting to the test. A new light based anti-ageing solution, RéAura’s technology brings a professional programme into a home environment. Developed with the makers of Fraxel laser technology, Philips RéAura is clinically proven to achieve skincare results and encourages a visible improvement in skin’s appearance by reducing fine lines, evening out skin tone, smoothing skin texture and reducing age and sun spots. Sounds like…
Fifi Lapin iPhone Case
One of the many perks of owning an iPhone is how easy it is to change the look, simply by alternating the case. Yet I’ve found finding a design I like is harder than I thought. The internet is full of blingtastic cases and cutesy teddy bear designs, and although eye catching, they’re not to my personal taste. So when I was contacted by Iconemesis, who collaborate with artists to…
The InStyler Rotating Iron
I am a huge fan of big, loose curls à la Kim Kardashian and Victoria’s Secret Angels so I was delighted when I was offered the chance to review the Instyler which is unlike any other hair tool I’ve seen before. The InStyler combines a rotating hot iron with a bristled comb which not only gives long lasting loose curls, it adds volume and lift and can be used to straighten hair too. As…
Happy Birthday Lipcote!
Happy Birthday Lipcote! The award winning Brit Beauty Classic celebrates 50 years of being the original lipstick sealer which gives lasting, transfer resistant lipstick. I’m a huge lipstick fan and its one of those things I have with me at all times. My lipstick drawer is something I love delving into to find that perfect shade to match my outfit and give the finishing touch. Some of my favourite lipsticks may boast…
