It’s well known that many of the new “oil extract” beauty products, whether it’s argan, jojoba or macadamia, are more silicone than golden oil. However that doesn’t mean that they don’t work well for their purpose! It just means that you shouldn’t be paying megabucks...
We have the season, but we don’t quite have the weather for seaside excursions yet. As a matter of fact, I put the heating on yesterday. Yeah, can’t see myself stripping off for a dunk any time soon! In saying that though, I’ve been absolutely loving a few products lately and I only...
Seriously, can you believe that the first month of 2014 is already over? It was both the longest and the shortest month ever, but thank bob we’ve all been paid post-Christmas so we can loosen the purse-strings a bit hopefully! That in mind, let me enable you with my favourite beauty products of the month!...
It took a PC backup and complete operating system reinstall, getting to grips with a new camera and microphone, and taking a self-taught crash course in Premiere Pro… But I finally got there. Never question my dedication to the cause. Here’s the first part of my 2013 favourites –...
Would I make a cyber goth/Rastafarian? Belle Morte seems to think the above shows promise! What are these odd looking neon dreads? They’re Curlformers, and I’m rocking them to try to achieve barrel curls/ soft waves with little or no heat. A frustrating, futile task? Read on for my review...
If I had a euro for every time I heard of the next new “innovation” in beauty, I’d be a billionaire by now. It’s one of those industries which is constantly innovating for the sake of it, to 1up in the arms race of personal perfection. There are some beauty items which lend themselves...
Anyone else feeling a bit flat after “the Christmas”? Yeah me too. But it’s time to squeeze your feets into the party shoes once more. I gotta feeling (woo hoo)…. Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s yo’ birthday (or 1999, depending which generation yer from)....
Do you want to be the finest filly in the paddock this party season? Does a long, lush mane sadly elude you thanks to colouring, bleaching and heat styling? Let me introduce you to Mane ‘n Tail, the “horse to human” crossover range which was developed after equestrian enthusiasts used...
The timing was perfect. We were sent a box of Clairol eXtreme n’ Easy in Cherry Red, just about when I’d been feeling rather annoyed with my limp, dark locks and was craving a change. I’ve always wanted to be a redhead, so thought it was fate. Unfortunately my hair is not very cooperative....
As someone who just can’t leave well enough alone, and loves what a “bit of a change” can do for her self image, I’ve been colouring my hair since I was 16. I’ve gone from mahogany, to blonde streaks, to violet, to henna-orange, to blue-black and every shade of brunette...
