This is such a fun Christmas Gift for those out there who struggle to blow dry.. This may just make there lives a little easier for 2015. So this is sort of a Hair Brush/Blow Dry/Hot Roller Set in one!

Included is 6 medium rollers and one Handle.
This is a simple way for professional results. Simple use as you would a round brush when blowdrying and detach the roller in your hair.  the very important step to have that curl have hold.. along with product/hairspray etc.. is to let it cool in its place. So let it set to cool in your hair before you get a glorious curl to let free. 

Six rollers is not enough for your whole head.. but it only needs to sit in place till cool.. So by the time you have reached your 6th roller.. you can take out and reuse the first one you used. Or just set the top 6 on your head.. and give the bottom hair a slight curly when blowdrying to make it uniform.

There are different sizes and different packs to choose from depending on the texture and length of your hair.. I love the medium for me. 


$49.99 (USD)


Take a look online and see what I am rambling about..

Happy thanksgiving y'all.

Us folks in NY are heading in to winter and is the perfect time to get your hands on one of these.. For those travelling over the holidays abroad to places sunny and celebrating summer.. Why not top up prep your skin before you jet.

My favourite from the brand are the Classic Self Tan Towelettes

All you need to do.. Its quick and easy. Unfold towelette. Apply to dry and clean skin in circular motions and just wait 2-4 hours to notice the color to appear.

Best Shampoo and Conditioners I have ever come across!




Just wanted to tell you all to splurge. Please go treat yourself to this product!! It is THE greatest.

Restorative Hair Mask
Anyone with damaged or coloured hair will LOVE this mask.. I love to leave on as long as I can.. Moroccan Oil suggest 5-7 minutes. I make sure to put on first thing when I hop in shower and let it soak in to my hair while I get everything else done that needs doing..

This little magic pot helps to infuse protein back in to the weak hair.
Once a week or once every couple of weeks is all you need. 
(As you start to use more and more you will notice you actually only need it once a month etc.. You will really see a difference. I did!
Simply apply on to towel dried hair after shampoo.

It is not very often I post on Health products... But you all know by now how strongly I feel about Beauty and Health coinciding with one another. So I hope you enjoy the read my lovely followers!! 
I recently took part in a Juice Cleanse.. For the blog! For you guys!

I was excited to give it a go.. and actually wasn't as hard as I initially thought. This was my first ever juice cleanse. I felt clean and honestly when cleanse was all done with I felt guilty somehow.. putting meat and bread back in my body. 



Huge thanks OnJuice for supplying me with all my juices!! 
I actually fell in love with my morning juice.. Mint Condition
The juices with spinach.. not my fav! But great for your body. Great source of iron.

yum yum yum!

So I did a 3 day Specialty Complexion Cure Juice Cleanse with OnJuice.
2 days pre cleanse detox
3 days on juice and raw selected foods (mainly fruit and veg)
7 day post juice cleanse detox!

The Juices were packed with yummy goodness.. Filled with fruit and veg that improved elasticity in my skin and made my skin absolutely radiant! The ingredients in this particular cleanse is high in antioxidants and contains Vitamins A, B, C and E..

3 Day Cleanse comes to $150 for 12 bottles. 
4 bottles of juice a day which actually is a lot of juice! Non stop drinking, allowed water of course additional and OnJuice sent me a RAWSOME diet to follow too. 


I think a Juice Cleanse is fab! A great way to ease in to a diet.. Great way to start a new year.. 
Really actually made me realise how much unnecessary carbs and food volume I was eating prior to cleanse.. Also has been days since cleanse has been completed and still feeling very conscious about what goes in my body even though I am allowed back to the real world.. I'll definitely grab a piece of fruit instead of crackers/chocolate when I need a fix. Made me appreciate food!!

LOVE OnJuice!
So happy I gave it a go..
Check out all the cleanses on there website.

Tweezerman Brush iQ

A couple months back I was invited to a lunch by Tweezerman in NY and sadly was unable to attend.. which also meant I missed out on trying the new brush line 'brush iQ' 
I finally got my hands on some brushes and am head over heels in LOVE.


I have used Tweezerman for years and won't be stopping anytime soon.. 
brush iQ includes 12 brushes.. here are some of my absolute mush haves from the new line. 

Contour Concealer Brush
We all know everyones craze with the contour right about now.. This will make life easier for you.. Love the shape and curve of the brush. Great for highlighting the eye area.. Soft and the perfect brush for no dragging delicate areas.
$18.00 (USD) well worth it.


Pointed Concealer Brush
I can never have enough of this type of brush in my brush roll. I no doubt use this every time I apply makeup to a client! Multipurpose.. Great for point concealers, around nose, eyes. I also love to use for powder application for eyeliner under the eye.. or even a good smudge eyeliner brush.. 
$16.00 (USD)


Next up..
Pointed Foundation Brush
I go through stages of how I apply foundation.. fingers, sponge, brush.. 
If applying by brush its important to find the right tools. Not too long that it drags.. not to short that it takes forever, not to wide that you cant get in to little curves etc.. Needs to be just right.
Having the tapered tip means you can get in to nooks and cover a large area too.
Great brush!!
$28.00 (USD)

I am so thrilled to introduce to you all Malibu C. 100% Vegan! The brand includes effective ingredients removing damaging environmental impurities thats in the water we shower with. Treat yourself at home with some high grade hair products. I was so please with the results. My hair is smooth, soft and has life again. I have curls and it eliminated frizz in just one wash bringing my natural curls out wonderfully. So here are some of my favourites from Malibu C.

Malibu C Leave-In Mist Conditioner
$14.00 8oz
This works wonders for those who tangle easily. Replenishes hair and is best when spritzed in to towel dried hair. If you are a swimmer.. Spritz on dry hair before entering the water to protect against chlorine/ocean water etc.
I personally use this and love this most for cutting hair. It smells fantastic, fresh and sweet and is perfect for that spritz before a fine trim to collect all the hairs.
Great al day hair moisturiser.


Next up..

Improved dullness! Improved dryness!
Instantly my hair was clean, smooth, shiny.
What I loved most is that my hair felt lighter (without a cut). Just an amazing wash and condition!!
