Not Your Mothers Hair Care

Brand of the week!

NOT YOUR MOTHERS

Shout out to my curly haired sisters across the globe.. I have found some products you will kill to have! First up a sweet smelling, curl defining hair cream that you wont be able to live without. Cute packaging! The hair cream is infused with Grape Seed & Jasmine. It's divine.

Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream

So wash hair as normal, towel dry and apply evenly from roots to ends. Scrunch curls and dry upside down for the ultimate lift! I love volume and have over the years embraced my wild curls. I like to blow dry gently.. meaning don't shuffle you're hair .. either use a diffuser if you have one.. or just gently move hair rather then shake when drying. this helps reduce frizz (for those drying curls)

So this tube helps encourage natural curls, defines ad helps with fly aways!

120ml or travel size available.

Ok another favourite.. This is great for all hair types.. I especially love for use after Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream. Those who follow me on instagram will know I have fallen head over heels with this aerosol can.

Not Your Mother's She's a Tease

So enhance volume you already have or create the volume we all desire.. Simple. Shake can and spray at roots. Hold in to place while it dries a few seconds and voila.

Apple Blossom and Bamboo.. it's delicious!

Firm Hold. Great for up-do's.

Being new to NY I am keeping close products that help when it gets humid outside.. Works a charm for the sticky temperatures.

Also comes in travel size

Who has knotts?

I am not a person who gets a trim every few weeks.. (works for some.. but not for me). I listen to my hair and when I need a cut I get my scissors out. When I bleach my hair and have no time for a trim my hair often tells me with knotts it's time for some scissor action. Other then that I don't suffer from knotts... From what I have noticed knotts can be a problem for those with thin hair, curly hair or those who swim in chlorine.. Give this a whirl my knotty friends.

Knotty to Nice Conditioning Treatment

Snowberry Beauty

I have this past week dived straight in (head first) to a whole bunch of Snowberry products.

Created in New Zealand..

I have gathered my top picks from the brand!

Here in NY we are currently in Spring.. so the sun makes an appearance every other day.. I love this time of year. So what better time to dig out the sun care to protect you're skin. Choose between a 15+ or 30+ from Snowberry. I often use a moisturiser which includes an spf so I love the 30+ options for days out in the sun where I need more protection. Vitamin D is so important for you're body.. so make sure to get you're daily recommended amount.. and then be sure to protect and cover up for the rest of the day.

$46.00, 50mls Active Outdoor

Certified Broad Spectrum (meaning they will protect from UVA and UVB) This is very important when looking for suncream! Glides on smooth. Won't leave you looking ghostly white and feels hydrating too. Essential for the summer months ahead.

Now I am always blogging for dry, sensitive and oily skin.. Apologies because there are many people out there who are considered 'normal' skin types. This next product is for you lucky ones! I am lucky enough to attend many press launches for various brands and have witnessed some amazing effects from facial massage!! I will have to do a post purely on this! Facial massage really works wonders for you're skin. This product has some wonderful ingredients and simply is applied with a massage and then lightly patting off excess with a tissue. I love this for a treat in the evening one night a week.

$39.00, 30mls Soothing Facial Massage Oil

Make sure to check out all there other products.. There is a wonderful Intensive Renewal Face Serum which focuses to help those with ageing concerns.,. be sure to check that out too.

Colbert MD

Having recently relocated to NYC from LA I am excited to explore the NY native brands.. I have been lucky enough to trial some skincare from Colbert MD and have been really pleased with the results.

Sold in Barney's and a few other stores across the States. For my fellow brits.. Find this in Space NK if you need your Colbert MD hit. Also worldwide.. Not hard to find thankfully.

http://www.colbertmd.com/

I have narrowed it down to two loves..

First Love..

Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil

75ml, $100 (USD)

To be massaged in to damp skin to get the most benefits from this product.

Contains Passionfruit Oil, Marula Oil and Argan along with many others to really soften and calm your skin. Penetrates the skin leaving it taught and supple.

Splurge.

Second Love..

Heal and Soothe Night

$165.00 (USD) 30mls

I absolutely LOVE creams for night.. Amazing what sleeping with product on (whether you get 4 hours or 8 hours) can do with a little love before you rest your head. I always wake up feeling my skin has been healing over night.

Has anti inflammatory properties from the ingredients and also great for those with pigmentation.. perhaps the more mature crowd.

Little magic in a pot!

Amala Beauty

Organic plants, natural Ingredients.. from soil to skin.

Some gorgeous products from Amala have made the cut this week!

Read on my beauty lovers..

Some of my fav pics from the brand..

Who doesn't love a mask? Anyone in NYC will know how muggy it has been past couple days.. For me this is the perfect time to refresh your skin and keep hydrated with masks. Ahhh so relaxing..

Hydrating Yogurt Mask

$64.00, 50ml (USD)

Yep a little steep.. but a treat and cheaper and much more convenient then getting to a salon when you need a 'pick me up'.

Creamy mask that helps nourish dry skin.

Contains Jasmine, Macadamia Nut and Wild Rose.. Smells delish!

Dull skin? Give this a whirl.

Ok so the last product was for those with dry skin.. This gem is perfect for those with excess oil.

Purifying Mattifier

$48.00, 50ml (USD)

Helps people who wish to control shine. Reduces pores.

I have been using this as a Makeup primer.. works a charm.

Packed with antioxidants.

They also make some fabulous Room and Linen sprays.. Now it was the little darling bottle filled with my favourite scent of Lavender.. but actually they also have peppermint which is so fresh.

Go spritz happy and feel awake with the scent of italian mint.

Peppermint Room and Linen Spray

$24.00, 50ml (USD)

Freeze 24-7

Instant Target Wrinkle Treatment

Ok $65.00 aint on the cheaper scale.. But I have been testing out this magic pot and have been pleasantly surprised thus far. Leaves you feeling plump, youthful and ready for the world. Skip the botox and give this pot a try.. That makes the price tag sound a little more enticing now right!

The technology in this product claims to help concerns of laughter lines, feathered lips, crow feet, saggy brows along with the other signs of ageing that we all dread as we age.

This is cooling, refreshing, great for the pores (not clogging).
