Colour Mate Aussie Hair


Wow after using the three minute colour miracle colour deep treatment and the miracle colour insurance leave in conditioner my hair has never been in better shape after trying to strip my hair again my hair was seriously damaged this time, very straw like dull no chance of running my hands through my hair without my hair getting tangled up i cant believe the difference in just a few weeks i have bin using just the two products. A friend actuly got me in to the leave in conditioner she said it was fantastic they were doing a deal at Tesco i think it where any two products for just six pounds so i made the most of it, i think the Colour Mate is limited addition tho god knows why.? Keep it!!!!!, i do believe Superdrug are doing the same deal at the two products for six pounds.
It says to keep the deep treatment on for three minuets i ignored this i smother my hair root to tip slap a shower cap on and leave it on while i have a bath id say a good hour then i wash it out, followed by the leave in conditioner when my hair is sort of damp i put plenty on never makes my hair feel greasy in the slightest, the days where i dont wash my hair i dont believe in washing my hair every day i dont think it helps, i just use the leave in conditioner on dry hair still great results did i mention they both smell gorgeous to!! i never thought i would find products at very affordable prices that would actuly work i think i have been very naive to think its not always the high end brands that are the best their are some amazing affordable products that wont brake the bank. The Aussie products are defo worth a look at theirs something for everyone frizz heat volume......

Schwarzkopf Osis+ Dust it


After being recommend to me by a few people i purchased this little babby. my main intention for this was so that when back combing my hair i wouldn't have to do so much back combing my hair aint 100% as it is and by back combing i dont think im really helping but with Schwarzkopf Dust it, it makes it far more easier to get the volume i want without really damaging my hair.
Very easy to use all i do is gently shake the bottle above my roots makeing sure my hair is dry, it comes out super fast i find it easier placing my hand over some of the holes its kinda like a salt shaker your'll see a white powder its dead fine you only need abit. I use a brush to back comb without using hairspray n get far better results from using the Dust It Powder, or if i just want a bit of volume if im not really styling my hair i just use my hands just by rubbing my hair/scalp where ive put the powder and i instantly get volume, it does look abit scruffy after you've been rubbing your hair/scalp but by gently brushing over you will sort out the fuss lol but id you like that just woken up look then yea dont bother with the brushing over, you can use this by just like shaking it over your hair to give it some texture this just wont work on mine its Far to long, i will admitt it does feel matt like it says doesn't make you hair feel nice at all defo a down side but i can get over that
I think this would be amazing for shorter hair, thiner hair also. I cant really style my hair useing this part from doing the bouffant/beehave, its more used to get volume, i think you could defo go to town with this on shorter hair should i cut my hair mmmmmmmmmmmmm NOT A CHANCE lol but what i want it for this does the job and im very pleased :D i will post a pic up of how high i can get the Bouffant/beehive i was holding back this time the higher the better i say!!

Go a shade darker!! [Xen Tan Dark lotion Absolute Luxe]


I finally got to order this a few backs but with me just coming back from hols their has been no need for self tanning but the time has come my actual tan is fadeing rapid wont and can not be seen without the tan on well if i can help it :D.

What Xen Tan say about their product
New to the range, Dark Lotion Absolute Luxe has been four years in the making. During that time we've perfected our darkest, richest and most luxurious tan to date; one that offers a tan that will last longer than any other fake-tan product.
To create this ultimate dark, long-lasting tan, we've included more DHA active tanning agent than ever before. Because DHA is what causes the traditional 'fake tan smell', we've also included Scent Secure - a revolutionary new ingredient that locks out any chemical odours. So you can enjoy incredible natural-looking results for up to 10 days that leave you feeling fabulous.
Enriched with Ginko Biloba, Green Tea extract, aloe and Shea butter, Dark Lotion Absolute Luxe is a real treat for skin, leaving it feeling wonderfully nourished and smooth.
Easy to apply, it smoothes on evenly and fades evenly too, for beautifully even, olive-toned results every time.

Is It the best fake tan i have ever used YES, the best colour YES, the darkest of all the Xen Tan products the darker the beter i say :P even fair skined can use this it wil adjust to you, the best smell YES it ticks all the boxes.
Im a fake tan addictd and this is a winner, everything i want in a tube natural olive undertone no orange here!!, very good for the skin no dryness, a gorgeous vanilla sent no horrible tan smell, can be used for the face aswell as the body, easy to use, a guide colour so you know where youve applied no need to be scared at all. I know meny people get put of by fake tan i can see why seeing women and men looking like umpa lumpas, being all patchy and streaky, if you have the right fake tan and you prep your skin you cant go wrong not with Xen Tan they have really made it easy for you.

I would adivce on geting the Xen Tan mitt for applying its not like these cheap foam mitts that soak up all the product with this mitt the fake tan glides far beter over the skin you dont waste product and at 34.99£ a tube i wouldnt want to waste either.

When applying makeing sure youve exfoliated first alot of people miss this step and then they wonder why they have a patchy uneven tan, this is why if you dont prep your skin, move quik as poss makeing sure you blend as you go, the texture is pretty thick so you need to move pretty fast if you keep rubbing over the same area you will start to get darker patches if this happens i use my st tropez buffing mitt to go over the areas i think ive applyd to much the product has to be wet tho when doing this if not your'll just buff the product off and we dont want that do we now lol,Doing your back is very hard by your self its best to get some one to help you, and when doing your hands i use abit of moisturiser before putting the tan on you dont have to but i prefer to do this, i dont put any more product on the mitt i just use whats left from doing my body and face i always do my hands last. I apply my tan just before going to bed so it has time to develop dont be going out for a jog the gym whatever try not to sweat stay away from water, it needs time to develop avoid light colourd clothing until youve washed the colour off like i said i tend to apply before going to bed so it has least twelve hrs to come out then in the morning its safe to shower you can see the colour comeing of but your still left with a gorgeous olive tan.
After a week or so your tan should fade evenly i exfoliate any way least twice a week to make sure im not scrubbing away with one of those seriously hard pad things i dont no what their called but it hurts like hell ha then you should be ready for our next appliaction it gets it to like a routine once you start you cant stop!!

Does this fake tan compare to any other fake tanning product i have used before NO but their still are some very good fake tans out their just not as good as this one :PPPPPP
I have posted about Xen Tan's Absolute Deep Bronze Luxe this stil is a very good tan and far beter then alot on the market its just about finding the rite fake tan that works
best for you!.

It all about XEN TAN the name to trust when it comes to self tanning

Opi Nail Envy and Avoplex Oil Final thoughs

Around six mounths ago now i had my last set of acrliycs done and since then ive bin useing this duo. Was i expecting something amazing yes did i get amazing results sadly not really, i still feel my nails are not 100% and to be honest i dont think they will. My nails are far stronger then they have ever been i wouldnt say they have grown any longer then they use to nor have they stoptd snapping maybe im trying to critise it to much and not blameing the job i do i use my hands all day they get really dry so to do my cuticles i use chemicals to i guess this aint going to help either. Im not sure if they look beter because of the Nail Envy and Avoplex oil or if its due to just time..? its really hard to say with what i do from day to day, the Avoplex Oil is fantastic tho smells yummy cuticles look instantly hydrated until im back doing my job i just cant win lol. Some people are just blessd with heavenly nails and some are not!! thank god for acrylics hey lol.
