Palmers Manuka Honey Haircare Range

March 29, 2016

I have been a fan of Palmer’s for as long as I can remember, I have gone through countless amounts of their original cocoa butter and I adore their lip balms for their gorgeous chocolatey scent and hydrating formulas. I never really knew that Palmer’s did haircare until recently when I tried out the Manuka Flower Honey Haircare Range from them.

The Palmer’s Manuka Flower Honey Haircare Range consists of a Strengthening Shampoo*, Nourishing Conditioner* and a Leave-In Conditioner*. All are colour safe and designed for all hair types with no sulfates, parabens, phthalates or dyes which helps to naturally restore moisture and shine.

The whole range is a match made in heaven with the shampoo lathering up really well, leaving my hair feeling really clean and nourished. The conditioner isn’t at all heavy so it doesn’t weigh the hair down at all, but it is highly moisturising which is great for my dry, damaged, curly hair. The shining star for me is the leave-in conditioner as it really does help de-tangle my hair after I have washed it, tame my frizz and when I leave my hair to dry naturally I feel it helps to really define my curls without having to add any other product. All products have the same fragrance which I love because nothing is worse than when you have a range of products that don’t mesh well together, this also makes your hair smell fresher for longer. I am absolutely rubbish at describing scents but I want to go with creamy cocoa honey, if you can imagine that then I think you can picture it perfectly.

Over all I absolutely adore all three of the products as they leave my hair soft, manageable and shiny. I absolutely intend on buying them as soon as they run out.

You can buy the shampoo and conditioner for £6.99 each and the leave-in conditioner for £5.99 from Superdrug

Short Hair

June 4, 2015

Yesterday I got bored and decided I needed a change so chopped off a whole heap of my hair, so I now officially have short hair!

It may come to a surprise to many of you but I actually cut my own hair, I can’t deal with going to the hairdresser as the only person I trust with my hair is so amazing she is always booked up and because she is my friend I hate asking her to do it for me when we see each other socially. I am of course a hairdresser myself and I wouldn’t just hack away at my hair if I didn’t feel confident enough in chopping it off myself.

I have given myself a slightly graduated longer length bob, that has lots of layers and volume in it and I really love it. My hair feels fresher, lighter and so much healthier.

Are you going shorter for the summer? Have you ever cut your hair yourself?

AirMotion Pro Brush

May 1, 2015

The AirMotion Pro Brush* has to be one of the best hairbrushes I have tried in a very long time, it has a completely flawless design which makes holding it a dream as it just nicely fits into the contours of your hand and the shape of the brush itself makes brushing your hair a right pleasure.

I have to be honest with you because at first I didn’t think the AirMotion Pro was brushing my hair properly due to the fact I didn’t feel any pulling or snagging when using it, it just felt too ‘light’ like it was just gliding over my hair doing nothing for the cause but I was so wrong! The AirMotion Pro was actually getting to work in the best way it knows how, by gently detangling your hair and making it completely silky smooth.

The best thing about the AirMotion Pro is the fact that it doesn’t drag loads of your hair out which means its definitely less stressful on your hair and stops you from constantly having to clean out your brush. I also like the fact its very child friendly and has made brushing Tapanga’s hair an absolute pleasure, the constant screaming and crying when trying to get rid of her knotty hair has gone and instead she looks forward to getting her hair done and trying out new styles.

We have definitely fallen in love with the AirMotion Pro in our house and if you want to fall in love with it too you can buy it on the AirMotion website for only £11.95… An absolute bargain!

KMS Curl Up Range

March 2, 2015

KMS have been a brand that I have dabbled with numerous times but I have never been loyal to them as I have never found anything that they have made to really wow me until I tried out the Curl Up Range* and Hair Stay Anti-Humidity Seal* (review for this will be coming soon!).

I am always looking for good products for curls as my hair is naturally very curly and I wear it straight most of the time because a lot of curl products out there seem to go with the motto of ‘The crispier, the better’, something I and many other curly girls really don’t want but with the KMS Curl Up Range this isn’t the case.

The shampoo and conditioner are both really lovely and leave the hair feeling so silky, moisturised and workable which is something I really love. The shampoo lathers up really well into a nice foam that really feels like it is refreshing your hair, this probably has a lot to do with the nice fresh scent of oranges and peppermint that flow through it. The conditioner is equally as nice with the exact same fragrance, its creamy but not too thick so it doesn’t leave your hair feeling heavy and moisturises the hair really well.

The shining star product out of the range has to be the Perfecting Lotion, a gorgeous lightweight cream that moisturises, smooths and helps define your curls. The cream is nither sticky or greasy and really does do what it is intended to do, leaving your hair feeling and looking amazing. The best thing about the Perfecting Lotion is that it doesn’t leave your hair feeling crispy and it leaves your curls feeling really flexible, I can even run my fingers through my hair without getting the dreaded puffiness as the curls all fall back into place.

Over all I think it is an absolute fantastic range that I would 100% recommend to all the curly girls out there. You can pick up the Shampoo (£9.75) & Conditioner (£10.10) from Feel Unique and the perfecting lotion (£14.50) from All Beauty

#LipGlam

February 28, 2015

When #LipGlam * came into my life I didn’t know what to expect, it was marketed as a 100% natural lip balm that had multiple uses, something I definitely wanted to try!

#LipGlam uses pure lanolin and can be used not only on your lips but as a cuticle ointment, lipstick and mascara primer plus it can also seal your split ends… Cool huh?! Not to mention it can also be used on a number of other things too which are all listed on the back of the tube.

My preferred method of using #LipGlam is for what it is intended to be, a lip balm. I find it hydrates my lips so well and keeps them moisturised for hours, I can definitely feel instant effects from the moment I glide a smidgen on my lips. Sometimes the tube does get very hard due to it being cold outside or because I have left it some place cool but its easily rectified by warming it up between your thumb and forefinger for a few seconds.

I really couldn’t recommend #LipGlam enough and I know its one of them products that I am going to be using for the foreseeable future as it does everything I want and need, something else that I really like about #LipGlam is that it was made here in England so it hasn’t been shipped half way around the world just to get to us.

You can buy #LipGlam on the LipGlam website for £9.99
