Coconut Oil – Hints and Tips Wanted!

September 23, 2012

dim sunday 022

Hi guys! Coconut oil is half price at Holland and Barrett at the moment, £7.49 for 453g. I’ve heard many good things about this oil and I’ve been wanting to try it for skincare. Since the weather has changed from glorious to ever-so-slightly-nippy, my skin has undergone it’s usual Summer-to-Autumn change where it yells “Surprise! Had you forgotten I’m sensitive and irritable all year except Summer? I hadn’t!”. So, I’ve got myself this big tub of Coconut oil in the hope it might moisturise and soothe in ways that other oils can’t reach. Fingers crossed! I’ve been reading the packaging and it seems this stuff isn’t just good for skin and hair care, it’s also good for eating. I’ve been careful not to contaminate the jar, spooning a sample into a tub with a clean spoon to try out for beauty purposes and keeping the jar safely in the fridge.…

The possibilities! Hard to resist opening the box. When Savoo asked me to review September’s Glossybox and tell you all about their excellent subscription discounts I was thrilled. I’ve been really keen to try a beauty box but not sure which one to go with or whether they represent good value when you actually get them home, and here was an opportunity to find out, and let you guys know about it as well – superb! I really love beauty related surprises. To the point that I was happy to charge out of bed in my fluffy leopard print gown and pink slippers and race to grab it from the post man (sorry, postie!). I thought you might like to share some of my excitement with an unboxing (no dressing gowns, I promise) so, if you don’t want to know what’s in the September 2012 Glossybox, look away now as this is…

Why my beauty routine is important to me…

      Picture a woman. She is tall, in her early thirties, and somewhat overweight. Look closely… She has hair that is almost entirely grey and white, it is thick and wavy, and very frizzy. The roots of her hair are clumped with dandruff and her scalp is sore and it itches. She has a cold sore and her lips are chapped and dry Her eyes, behind glasses for short sight, look piggy and small. She has buck teeth, which are stained yellow, and her breath is bad. Her nose and eyes stream constantly from dust allergies and allergic rhinitis. She sneezes powerfully, up to fifty times every day. Her body is covered almost everywhere with fine, dark hairs. She has allergic skin rashes and eczema, worst at knees and elbows where it scabs and weeps. She has callused feet, and a verucca seemingly burrowing into her bones. Her…

Frizzease

Hey guys, hope you all had an excellent weekend. I’ve just popped in to let you know about an offer I spotted browsing yesterday and I was so silly-excited I actually went into Boots at 8.30 this morning to check it out for myself. I love professional haircare products at Boots, particularly John Frieda products, but at around £7 each they are quite expensive. This is why I was so stoked to see the offer: 3 for £10 on Professional Haircare THREE for £10! That’s like £3.33recurring each! Excellent! I’ve recently stocked up on John Frieda Shampoo and Conditioner so I didn’t need to get any of that. The three products I chose were: Shine and Fragrance Mist from James Brown London. Usual Price £7.14. I wanted to try something like my beloved Label M Shine Spray for a little less money! John Frieda Frizz Ease Thermal Protection Serum. Frizz Ease was…

Hi Everyone! I’m back  I’ve had such a crazy busy weekend and missed blogging SO much! So much so that I’ve actually been feeling a little sad and blue. Fortunate really as when you’re confused and sleep deprived anything can be an inspiration, and if I were feeling jealous or passionate I might have clashed with my blouse… So, feeling a little blue this morning when I got ready, the Face Of The Day ended up like this: This is a work day so I am going for subtle Products used: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (I’ve mixed Shade 100 and 200 for a custom match with my skin) Sleek Luminous Pressed Powder in Shade 01 Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Shade 2 Cosmopolitan Eyebrow Kit Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original Collection 2000 Smokey Eyes Palette (medium silver shade) Calvin Klein Eyeshadow in Moonstone Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Crystal…

ColourB4 Extra Strength Colour Remover Review

ColourB4 Extra Strength Colour Remover Review

This image is from www.colourb4.com   In the past few days my hair has gone from long, brown and boring to short, red and different-y. Although I’m a bit of a hairdo chameleon, this change is so dramatic I do keep surprisingly myself when I look in the mirror! I’m not sure what exactly prompted me to do it. I was bored of my long hair and the change of season gets under my skin. I had had a glorious haircut from my best-ever hairdresser Chloe at True Colours in Exeter (seriously, if you are in travelling distance from her – GO THERE it’s right by the station and she is amazing) about 6 months ago but it had grown out and I was feeling like I wanted to recapture that good hair feeling. I am blessed with fast growing, strong thick hair. To compensate for natures’ bounty in this, I’ve…

What Would Bee Buy? 2011 Part 2

December 21, 2011
By

Here’s WWBB part 2, all my favourite things in hair care…   Haircare Shampoo:I’m going to be completely unconventional and nominate a strong smelling medicated shampoo as my essential pick for hair cleansing. Alphosyl 2in1 Shampoo  doesn’t have a lot of boudoir glamour, it’s true. What it does have is incredible power to clean hair and soothe irritated scalp. It’s the cleaning I like best. My hair is very thick and I really hate product build up on it. Using this shampoo once a week keeps it super clean and shiny and smelling herbal. An acquired taste but I’ve used this for…uhh.. 15 years and love it as much today as I did the first go. Price varies between £4 and £8 (urk) for 250ml depending where you buy it. Conditioner: My hair’s conditioning need varies depending whether it’s lightened or not, but for everyday conditioning and a really reasonable…
