I feel like I am living out of Country Road tog bag at the moment – between my flat, my boyfriend’s house and weekends away, I feel like I am constantly packing and unpacking. Thankfully, putting together my makeup/hair/toiletry bags for the next morning/weekend are often the easiest part because the basics are always the same. These basics are my Holy Grail items – the ones I never leave behind and the ones I always repurchase. It was actually surprisingly difficult to narrow it down to 10, so I have included 5 honourary mentions too – although not the loves of…
Ok, this is the last one, we promise.
I cheated…but I’m not sorry! Whilst my beloved Pureology will always have a place in my heart, and my shower, I have to admit I have really been enjoying using my new Bumble and bumble Thickening shampoo and conditioner. I have quite fine hair so I like to ramp up the volume a bit, and I’ve found that if I use all my Thickening products, and style my hair in a particular way, I get really great results. The shampoo and conditioner are both very lightweight (well, they’d have to be) so my hair doesn’t feel weighed down at all,…
Aaaaand we’re back! After three glorious weeks of sun, sea and of course, a wedding, we’ve found ourselves back in a very cold and gloomy Cape Town. In order to prevent the inevitable post-holiday/post-most-amazing-wedding-of-all-time comedown, I did some shopping in Athens so I would have some things to play with when I got home. On my final day I found myself on my own as my boyfriend jetted off to Italy for a further two weeks, and with all the sights already seen, I decided to visit the biggest mall in Athens, creatively named “The Mall Athens”. I made a…
Bumble and bumble Thickening Full Form Mousse and Thickening Creme Contour The only, I repeat only, benefit of having a boyfriend who travels is access to much hyped-about overseas beauty products. These arrived at the end of July and I can confirm that they are both exceptionally good. Historically I have avoided mousses for fear of them leaving my hair sticky and crunchy – not so with this mousse though. It thickens the hair without leaving it tacky, even when applied to the roots, and the hair stays pumped up and volumised all day. I can’t say enough good things about…
By the time you read this I will be sunning myself in Greece (sorry…oh wait, no, I’m not sorry). Those who know me will testify to the fact that I never travel without a hair dryer (Parlux), hair straightener (GHD) or an extension cable (you’d be surprised at how often I’ve found myself in places where the mirrors and plug points are far way from one another – rage), nor do I sacrifice my beloved products – everything comes with me. Obviously I’m not a masochist – I won’t be blowdrying my hair every day in the sweltering heat, but…
