Beauty talk

Hello ladies

I had a little moan about the little round Vaseline pots in my last Beauty talk post because I was getting fed up with struggling to open them but since then Vaseline has changed the pots slightly so now they open far more easily (yay) I know this because the other day I left my little make up travel bag at home and needed to get lip balm so I decided to get the cocoa butter lip balm from Vaseline as I don't already have it and it's rather lovely.

I have been using my Take the Heat three minute miracle b Aussie to keep my hair nice and soft and protected and I have been using the leave in spray too. I very rarely use straighteners on my hair but I have noticed blow drying isn't drying out my hair like it would normally do so I'm putting it down to the Aussie products, I have to admit I'm a little sceptical about heat protection products, I have looked on the net and lots of people think they work just that they don't work miracles and I thnk that's fair enough.

I have been trying glue on nails at the moment as I keep hearing about how good they are on lots of other blogs and my friend Vicky reccomends them too, I'm glad I have discovered how great they are (thanks girls) I'm loving them already especially how easy they are to apply and they are far less expensive than extensions. I am currently using Elegant Touch classic french American girl pink in medium length and I got lucky first time as I didn't need to file any of the nails to fit.
So far I have been wearing them for three days and all is well, if they last me a week I will be pleased with that (I shall keep you posted) unfortunately I can't remember how long they are supposed to last but I think it said 14 days on the pack.

I can't wait to try other brands and styles now, especially the retro/burlesque mani ever since I read a post on *LipsTitsTeethHips* I just think they look gorgeous so I will definitely be trying this style soon.

Has anyone seen the new Goody hairbrush range in Asda? I went in there the other day and they had all these new hairbrushes they were gorgeous so I thought I would try the Gelous grip vent brush. 

Grab the comfort gel handle and add volume and body to your style as you dry with the Goody Gelous Grip Vent Brush. The ion-infused ball-tip bristles will help to alleviate annoying static to leave your hair glossy, shiny and frizz free.

I have found lots of brushes that have been great other than the fact that the brush handle didn't have a good grip, so I knew I would like this brush as I don't think you can really go wring with a vent brush.

There were all sorts of diferent types of goody brushes to try HERE is the website.

Thanks for reading.

Beauty talk

Hi everyone!

This month I have been really taking care of my hair and skin now is getting colder I need all the moisture I can get.
I have been using almond oil for my hair applying it all over my hair and scalp in the evenings and leaving it for the night, I already use coconut oil for my hair but almond oil works very well too it's a little more moisturising actually and since I'm trying to grow my hair I need to look after the ends as much as possible.

I have decided that I am going to wait until I decide my hair needs a trim rather than going by the six to eight week rule as my hair grows so slowly it will be a one step forward one step back situation and I think you can tell when your hair needs a trim, I asked a friend with very long hair the other day how she had managed to get hers so long and she said that she didn't get it cut for a whole year once! She has really gorgeous healthy hair so sod the rules I want long hair! If it doesn't need trimming and you are growing it then I don't see any reason to cut it. I would always recommend regular cuts to anyone who puts their hair under a lot of heat styling and chemical treatments though, most people can tell if their hair is damaged or dry.

One thing I would like to have a little moan about is the Vaseline little pots, I think that as far as lip balm goes they are all you need, some lip balms put a seal on the lips but don't actually moisturise but Vaseline really soaks in and I don't think you can get any better and I never spend lots on those products as there is only so much moisture you need anyway.
So Vaseline is great but this time of year I'm using it a lot and my problem with this product is the packaging, am I the only person who can't open my pot? I am getting fed up of struggling with it so I tried the Superdrug's version which is much easier to open but I still prefer Vaseline so I think I am going to have to get my own fabulous little pot and transfer it, I think Vaseline should be packaged like lip gloss myself.



Since I tried the frizz fighter shampoo from Herbal Essences I have been impressed, because I have less frizz when I use it I don't use as much heat on my hair when I blow dry it and my hair is happier therefore I am happier.
So the other day I mentioned frizz fighter and a girl overheard me and said she uses the seductively straight shampoo in the range and she noticed a difference in her hair when blow drying she said she didn't need straighteners after but usually she does, so I will test this one next I hope I can give it a positive report.
I'm also giving the beautiful ends leave in cream a try, I like that you can leave it in on wet or dry hair, the jury is out at the moment but if it's good I will give it a mention, I have heard good things about it and I love the smell so I'm optimistic. 

I have started getting into colourful eye make up again lately (I used to wear purples and greens a lot) this time round I'm really loving pink! I love being girly and I do like a pink lipstick but I'm more into enhancing my eye make up and having a nude lip so I thought I'd give some glittery pink a try and I really loved feeling all girly and pretty.
I find that it worked really well when I wore my cropped eighties denim jacket  nice contrast the girly ott eye shadow and the masculine jacket, kinda like the whole leather and lace thing, maybe I just like the eighties a little bit!

There are a couple of products I have repurchased too, first my renew and recover foundation by Rimmel I love liquid foundations and with the renew and recover I have found a perfect match for my skin (ivory I believe) I can really build this foundation up and I don't look like I'm wearing a mask, the only thing I don't like is I can feel the shimmery bits on my skin when I rub it in but it's no big deal. Secondly my Avon advance techniques mirror shine spray I have been using it for so long I can't remember the first time I got it so it must be good, I like that it doesn't go on too thick and it smells really nice like all of the advance techniques products, I like it even more now it comes in a nice new pink bottle now.

What is everyone else loving at the moment?
