Quick Reviews #6

Milk_Shake Conditioning Whipped Cream and Leave In Conditioner Milk_Shake uses milk proteins and various fruits to create a natural haircare range to suit every hair type. The range aims to restore the hair’s natural components and nourish the hair fibre to ensure that the hair looks bright and soft. The Conditioning Whipped Cream contains milk and wheat proteins to condition the hair, and special emollients provide deep and long-lasting hydration. I found this product a real pleasure to use – it has a mousse texture but absorbs into the hair quickly leaving no stickiness whatsoever. I was expecting it to weigh…

Product Empties #3: Hair

L’Oréal EverRiche Nourishing & Flowing Shampoo and Conditioner This is another one of those products where I simply can’t understand why they aren’t available in South Africa. It is the most brilliant range of sulphate-free cleansing and styling products for different hair types; from weak and over-processed to frizzy and hard to control to dry and damaged. They lather up like a dream and are enriched with botanical oils to nourish dry, fine hair, adding a moisture boost that actually leaves your locks feeling thicker when its dry. The scent is absolutely DELICIOUS and it really lingers in the hair…

Overnight Hydration Heroes

I was lucky enough to spend three days in the Karoo last week and, although it is the most beautiful, peaceful place in the world, it is also incredibly dry. By the time I got home on Sunday night, I felt as though every drop of moisture had been zapped from my body, so I went into damage control mode and whipped out every hydrating product in my arsenal. Here’s what I did to restore the balance: Face Jules and I recently received a few GLAMGLOW face masks from the lovely people at Metropolitan Cosmetics. Being a dry skinned gal, my eye was…

Three Nifty Hair Tricks

I’ll be the first to put my hand up and say that I am pretty rubbish with my hair – I have followed the same tried and tested routine for the past 15 years, and it’s very rare for me to stray. However, in the spirit of trying new things, I have discovered three little hair tricks that I have really been enjoying lately, and I wanted to share them with you.

Review: L’Oréal Elvive Fibrology Range

I first heard about this innovative haircare range from British Beauty Blogger back in January (follow her if you want to know about new beauty launches first!) and was immediately enthralled. It promises to thicken fine hair with each use, penetrating into the fibre and increasing the diameter of each strand (read about the science behind it here) – might as well be a bullseye, amiright? All the buzz was very positive so I was extremely excited to give it a go, especially as it was being sold at such an affordable price point. As soon as it was available…

Once-a-Week Wonders

When it comes to my beauty routine, I generally have a short attention span; I tend to try out lots of different products and my top shelf is on continuous rotation. There are, however, a few things that I do on a more regular basis than contribute to the maintenance of my nails, skin and hair. Here’s the list: At-home manicure I recently did a post on my DIY manicure essentials so you’re probably familiar with the tools I use to keep my nails in good nick. I go through this routine about once a week, usually at my desk…
