AWAPUHI by Paul Mitchell

Awapuhi Wild Ginger

For centuries Hawaiian natives have used the fragrant juice of the Awapuhi Ginger Plant to moisturise skin and hair.

This range by Paul Mitchell has won several awards over the years and is perfect for deep hydration and people suffering with dry and damaged hair! The products work to leave you with healthy, manageable hair and smells invigorating!

I have discovered a few products that I can no longer live without..

Texturizing Sea Spray

I love this for my hair kit.. It adds volume! Enhances waves and curls and also creates those beach tousles we all love without that dry feeling.

Styling treatment Oil

Love this for me.. Great for curly/wavy/frizzy hair! Tames frizz, adds a gorgeous scent is soft, silky and super lightweight.. Just a few pumps is all that's needed. Makes your hair feel soft and adds shine too.

Hydrates and perfect for colour treated hair! Rebuilds damaged hair and repairs. Sulfate free lather.. I love starting the day with this products..

Happy birthday Glossybox

Thanks for a fun night!

Onça

I was sent a couple samples the other week to give this exclusive detox a go.. I saved it for the long weekend which just passed.. Now I didn't trial the full round.. so am just going off the days I did do.. and found it quite motivational.. I was swimming, doing home pilates and adding the supplement to my diet.. I actually noticed a huge change!!! and was a nice shock.. because I am not normally one to try these 'diet drinks'.. Though actually this is marketted to help with well being, beauty, ageing, eneergy which is what appealed to me!

 I felt less bloated and less hungry.. Onça is a natural supplement that you drink one in the morning and one in the evening (Both differnet flavours).. One tasted like a tropical juice with bits and the other like a chocolate drink.. They did suggest I mix it with milk for better taste.. but actually I can not drink milk and I dont like drining to much soya.. so I opted for water.. If you aren't allergic to milk I think the chocolate flavoured supplement would have been delicious.. Just like a coco!

The drinks were filled with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and helped to support the bodys recovery over night to rebuild health. I loved that just by taking the supplement your mind frame is different.. and you feel to be more healthy anyway.. Well that's how I felt.

I would say if looking for a healthy start.. and a detox to try before summer kicks in.. Give this a whirl.. You really wont know till you try whether it is right for you.. But all the healthy ingredients must be doing some good!!

This month is 'The Natural Box' (every month is something special and unique) and if you read my blog enough you will know I always blog my Glossybox and I always go on about how amazing it is every month!! That's because I am continually impressed and happy with what is sent every single time.

Even the box it came in is a 100% Biodegradable Box

Such gorgeous packaging.. I wouldn't mind if every month was a 'Natural Box'!
Also all products in this box full sized and regular price I would say are affordable so wont break the bank if we fall in love after trialling the sample size

Burts Bee's Naturally Nourishing Milk and Honey Body Lotion.. Smells divine and feels lush on my skin.
Monu Professional Skincare Moisture Rich Collagen Cream (There is always at least one brand I have never heard of.. This is why I love Glossybox the most - I love being introduced to new products and new brands..) I think I will give this away as ageing is not a concern of mine just yet..

Sienna X

Sienna X started by the clever Nicola Matthews in 2004... It started as a spray tan cubicle company and has expanded to what we see today..a huge success!

I love to look bronzed.. a tan gives me that confidence and helps cover my imperfections (skin ageing, pimples) and gives me a nice even coverage! I grew up in Sydney where the sun shines bright.. and now live in London where I am left with skin that needs companies like Sienna X to help get back that glow.. It is safe, takes just a few minutes and there are different strengths for different skin tones..

My top 3 tanning tips..

Exfoliate and moisturise entire body prior to tan.

Test which Tan day is your favourite if planning for an event.. Mine is the day after tanning!

Keep your tan and skin moisturised for days after to prolong the effect of the product.

Sienna X has just taken on James Harknett as brand ambassador.. He is a tanning expert and is currently spraying at The ever famous W Hotel in London. Treat yourself this summer and protect your skin by using Sienna X Tanning range.

Erno Laszlo LOVE

I have been super duper busy and haven't had much time for the blog last couple weeks.. So apologies firstly! There is so much beauty for me to spill... where to start? Just this week I worked with the wonderful fashion icon Erin O'Connor (what a treat) and of course my regular Easy Living for a spread out in July, spent a couple days in Claridges (Penthouse Suite!! none of the crew wanted to leave. Will post pics soon), a day in The glamorous Lanesborough Hotel working on some covers and fashion/beauty spreads for a couple magazines with another Makeup Artist.. ahh and finally a spare moment to share my beauty LOVES with you all.

Recently I blogged a brand Erno Laszlo that I was introduced to by a friend and beauty journalist.. She gave me some samples to try which I instantly fell in love with.. I spoke mainly about the history of the brand so today I will be sharing more in depth products I LOVE from the range.

The products I tried were seriously amazing, making me feel instantly glamorous and left me with velvet soft and youthful skin. The prices are a little high but honestly worth every penny! A little goes a long way with this brand and products are nice and rich.. I would definitely recommend this brand as a treat to yourself or a present for someone that deserves a little home pamper. Click here for Erno Laszlo website..
If you are in London Harrods is the best stockist for the brand..

Some of my favourite products!

From The Hollywood Collection..

Marily Monroe Morning Beauty Rescue £95.00

This was created in tribute to Marilyn Monroe (who was a huge fan of the brand)

This product helps to brighten and rejuvenate your complexion.. Is so amazing for those busy weeks with not much sleep.. helps to waken and refresh. Is a wonderful gel based primer made from a unique blend of semi precious gems and liquid gel pearls (these show and are a wonderful mix of pink and gold specks). Is absolutely perfect for those hot summer days ahead! Great for all skin types. Also works as a great base for Makeup.

Velvet Night Cream £175.00

Inspired by Greta Garbo. This is the product for anyone with aging concerns and dry skin. This is a deep moisturiser and perhaps my fav product from the brand. Works wonders over night helping to diminish fine lines and strengthen and firm your skin. The ultimate treat for dry skin. It feels so soft on my skin.

Erno Laszlo doesn't stop at skincare.. They also have on offer a wonderful range of Makeup!!

Removers, foundations, pressed powders, lipsticks.. 

I love the loose powder 'Controlling Face Powder'

Leaves you with a polished and matte finish.. Helps with any excess oil perhaps in T-Zone. Also minimises the appearance of pores! BIG FAN!
