Review: Sorbet “Frizz Wrangler” Shampoo Bar

Raise your hand if you use hot irons, curlers, hair dryers or bleach… I know there must be a lot of hands in the air  right now! My post is especially for you today.

I have hair that is naturally prone to frizz. I also bleach, colour and heat style my hair. Therefore I need something amazing that will tame the frizz without weighing down my curls, and leave me with silky smooth locks…

How to paint your nails like a professional

A few weeks ago, I got together with my friends Rachael (from Made From Scratch) and Penny (from Monaco Nails & Beauty) and photographed a few awesome nail tutorials to share with you.

The first step-by-step tutorial I’m going to share with you is how to paint your nails like a professional.  Once you get the basics right, it makes everything so much easier!

Review: Dermalogica PreCleanse

I’ve been using Dermalogica’s PreCleanse for a little while now, and have to say that I’m really liking the results…

Dermalogica Precleanse

Dermalogica PreCleanse is a plant-based cleansing oil that melts away layers of waterproof makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, residual skin products and environmental pollutants that build-up during the day. It contains olive oil to smooth and soften skin, apricot kernel oil to soothe irritation, nourish and moisturise the skin and borage seed oil, which is widely used for treating inflammation, eczema, dehydration and scaliness. It also contains vitamin E oil, a rich antioxidant that helps minimise lipid peroxidation in the skin and improves skin smoothness and softness.

How to get fabulously fierce Fashion Week hair

I didn’t get a chance to head down to Wellington Fashion Week this year, because I’m super busy with my final year of uni (which means no fun trips away for me, boo!).  However, I have been avidly watching the instagram/twitter/facebook feeds to see all the goings on.

One show I wished I could have been at was the AW’13 Group Collections Showcase, which featured Trelise Cooper, Moochi, twoWORLDs, STORM, Mondegreen, Sabatini at Goodness, and Taylor. What a wonderful collection of designers!

 

Something that caught my eye was the hair styling – I love the edgy look pictured above!

 

Thanks to Sebastian Professional Urban Artist, Amy Alexander for sharing this step-by-step guide on how to re-create this great runway hair look. View Post

Giving my locks a new lease on life at Live & Let Dye

I had the pleasure of visiting Live & Let Dye salon in Mount Eden yesterday, for a colour appointment with Kirsty.  It was my first visit to Live & Let Dye, and I am pleased to report that my experience was wonderful!  I went in not really knowing what I wanted – which as I am sure you will have figured out by now is very unusual for me – and had a good chat to Kirsty and Michelle about what was important to me in terms of colour (low maintenance, because I’m a student and can’t afford to colour my hair as often as some looks require and something that will grow out okay without announcing to the world that I haven’t had my colour done in *ahem* five months).

You might think my hair naturally looks this fabulous, but no! It’s the magic of Kirsty at Live & Let Dye in Mount Eden, Auckland.

That’s right, I hadn’t coloured my hair in five months. Oh how my life has changed! The reason I decided to colour it again after so long is that I really like the way a fresh colour leaves my hair looking glossy and healthy. View Post
