FUDGE Haircare

Fudge products have been in my kit and home for many years now. Even back when I was living in Sydney. (May even be an Australian brand).. Thought I would share my favourite picks for you.. Over the years I have watched the packaging develop or perhaps that is depending on which part of the globe I am in.. though they have always kept there orange and grey colours present which make it easy to spot. Can be found at salons across the world, shouldn't have to walk far to find some of these gems on the shelves.. and online for discounted prices which I have just spotted!!

Fudge Unleaded Skyscraper:
This is one hairspray I can always get great results from and guarantees hold every time. I always opt for the large bottle and love the sweet scent it has. Great to use when finishing styles for the ultimate hold!

Fudge Hair Shaper:
This is probably my favourite product from the whole range.. It smells delicious, small tub lasts forever. Dries matte which I absolutely love about this product! Has a super strong hold and in Fudge terms (Hold Factor:10). This product adds texture and gives you that lived in look.. Great for guys with short hair for an easy application straight on to dry hair to play and mould an individual look.. I have long, frizzy curly hair and works wonders with my hair when applied on to wet hair.. Just need a small amount and scrunch in to curls.. Experiment and give this a a try if you like the effortless result.

Fudge Daily Mint Shampoo + Conditioner:

Hydrating Drink for thirsty Hair.. Smooths, hydrates and a calming conditioner for stressed out hair. Fresh hints of peppermint and menthol wakes you up in the mornings! Great one for anyone using heated tools constantly to style.. (straighteners, tongs etc) this helps to strengthen and restore.

Fudge Daily Mint Hair and Body Wash:

This product is great for all the men out there.. Brothers, Boyfriends, Hubbys, Dads.. or even the ladies in a hurry. An easy all in one product to soothe and clean Hair and Body quickly. Wonderful peppermint oil in here which leaves a wonderful aroma in the bathroom. Pack this one in your gym bag!

I havent had the chance to get my hands on any but they promote that they can last from 4-8 hours and are easy to apply and remove!! Safe on children as young as 3 yrs old.. perhaps fun gifts for those little ones who have there hands in your precious Chanel lippie?.. Can't wait to get my mitts on these gems.

EYLURE

Hi all.. I have been super busy hence I have neglected you guys.. I have been on various jobs and working on various celebs and most I can not speak about right now so when the time is right.. I will spill beans! But for now.. have fun reading my latest product review on Eylure.

http://www.eylure.com/

Eyelashes are always in my kit.. Full Strip and Singles, brown and black and if requested I take some more extravagant and creative lashes.. Monday led me to pack a bunch of my favourite lashes for a promo for a certain bunch of girls for a spread out in September.. Eylure are affordable, always deliver, lightweight, reusable, contact lens friendly and look fantastic every time! Go give them a try there's a strip out there for everyone..

Here are some of my favourite Eylure Lashes..

Upper and Lower Lashes - Sectional Style for a bold look
Ideal for any eye shape, clear strip, 60s influenced. I would recommend these for a special occasion.. Easy to remove (Be gentle and wear them again and again). Great value! Available at Boots..

Upper and Bottom Lashes - Feathery style for a vintage beauty look

Less dramatic then lashes above but still gorgeous.. Team this up with a smokey eye or even a liquid liner.

Super Full - Brown

These are fantastic!! Great for blondes. For a change try brown instead of black. Apply small amount of glue provided in box and wait 15-30 seconds till latex is tacky then apply as close to your own lash bed for a quick transformation.

Double Lashes - Layered style for a full and textured effect

These are for all you out there that love dramatic!! Double whammy! Very full. Look amazing on!!!!

New products for my kit!!

Here's some new additions for my Hair and Makeup kit.. Some things I have been loving to use. Left to right..

 

Professional Sebastian Shaper Zero Gravity:

This is a light to medium hold Hairspray.. I have been using before tonging for a little hold whilst cooling. What I love is it is completely brushable.. so not set in stone once sprayed. No stickiness which is necessary especially when using hot hair tools. Works great for all hair types especially thin hair.

Professional Sebastian Shaper Fierce:

This is a finishing spray. so much stronger hold then the zero gravity.. This is when you know what style you are keeping and need hold instantly! When I am happy with a style I have created, spray! When i want volume I have created to stay, spray! Love this. Great for bridal parties when require hair to stay glam all day and night!

Dermalogica Sheer Tint Redness Relief:

This is my saviour for summer months.. Great for those who have spent too much time out in the sun with little or no suncream! ouch!! I came across some ladies in this situation who needed some instant relief and to tone down the colour red for photographs, events etc.. This helps to neutralize, relieve and calms skin whilst promoting skin recovery! The colour of the moisturiser is green.. don't be afraid just rub and colour will sink in.

Smashbox Photo Finish:

Smashbox are famous for there primers.. This is one focusing to target pores and lines! Great for mature skin.. Mother of the bride etc.. Also helps to absorb shine. I love to use around the eyes and mouth.. just in places where I think client needs it.. Can be used under or on tope of foundation.. so can carry with you for all day touch ups if necessary.

Shisedo Shimmering Cream Eye Color: Satinee'

This was a gift from the wonderful B, thank-you! Those that know me know that I don't tend to wear much around my eyes apart from a little mascara hence it goes straight in the kit. This is a gorgeous blue Cream eye shadow to last all day with no creases! Tried this last week.. and created a glamorous shine when used on its own.. and used as a base to enhance another eyeshadow.. perfect! 

17 Waterproof Mascara:

Waterproof mascara I tend to use quite rarely.. as I find they tend not to give much volume and texture differs from regular mascaras and all the choices we have these days.. But perfect for water scenes or bridal parties expecting lots of tears through the day. Though for the price.. Misplaced mine so I picked this up before a job from Boots for £3 roughly.. worked a charm!!
