After I attended the lovely L’Oréal event to launch the new SS14 Color Riche nail polishes Les Blancs and Topcoats I came home with the amazing polishes, and could not wait to use them! Without wasting any time, I thought about something nice to make justice to the lovely Les Blancs pretty spring shades.
Oh, the British weather. It plays havoc with our locks. My hair took a battering since moving to London many moons ago. And for ladies like me, Garnier is launching the Ultimate Blends range.
Since going to the launch event, I have been using all products of the Marvellous Transformer line, which aims to restore shine to dry, lifeless hair and contains a shampoo, conditioner, 1-minute treatment mask and hair oil.
They contain argan and camellia oils to deeply nourish and restore much needed life and glow to the tresses.
When I remember a style or design, I usually go crazy about it – and that is what happened when I re-discovered my dotting tools!
Lola make up by Perse is launching the Spirited Away collection with some amazing colours to bring your make up to spring/summer 2014. The eyeshadows and nails polishes are a mix of earthy neutrals and brights – a very “natural” tones palette, inspired on the nomadic desert people and landscapes.
Original Mineral, a multi-award winning Aussie haircare brand, is now being stock by Selfridges, and they threw a little hair-styling party to celebrate.
Apart from my lovely waves, I left the event with a bottle of their Frizzy Logic Shine Serum, which my hair is very grateful for, especially at this time of the year.
I was quite curious to try collagen shots for quite sometime, I have to admit. it seemed like an easy way to deliver skincare – by drinking a 50ml shot a day – and was very happy to try Pure Gold Collagen.
During 13 days, I took a daily collagen shot (maybe a missed one or two!) and I could notice a slight improvement on my skin condition to look and touch, mainly in texture – it felt plumpier – and also brighter.
Knowing I had a nail event coming up and I was bound to get a fresh manicure, I decided to go for something unusually minimalist.
This week I picked this pretty metallic golden truffle from Dielle called Metallic Dignity, which can look quite gun metal with a golden sheen, as well as some sparkly green and red particles!
Peach Neglige, Lemon Meringue, Nouvelle Vague, Pistachio Drage (L-R)
L’Oréal has been at it again and is bringing very exciting Color Riche nail polishes to grace our talons for Spring/Summer 2014: Les Blancs and Topcoats. Now, that is something to really look forward to.
The Les Blancs collection is a very pretty line of four pastel shades: the deliciously green Pistachio Drage, girly peachy-pink Peach Neglige, powdery lilac Nouvelle Vague and citrussy yellow Lemon Meringue. They are very delicate and almost white – with just a drop of colour; in fact similar base colours from last year’s SS collection, Neon Pop, but diluted to almost white (or, the other way round, dropped into white!)
If there ever was a right time, that is when the Magnitone Pulsar skin cleansing brush came along. Days before I was approached by them, I was actually thinking about getting a cleansing brush to add to my skin routine.
You are probably no stranger to my skin problems – acne (still active! Argh!) and a few scars so I thought it was time to give a brush a go to see how they could help me.
Magnitone is a face a body brush with four speed settings: sensitive, deep clean, massage and exfoliate.
I made this Instagram video showing the four different modes!
Proactiv is a name most people will be familiar about when it comes to acneic skin care.
I am trying the Proactiv Oil-Free moisturiser, which is very welcome on my breakout prone skin.
Many a time I talked about my acne and scars, how difficult my skin is and how some products just don’t agree with it. I am happy to say this moisturiser is very light – you don’t really notice it’s been applied as it is quickly absorbed, delivering a good amount of moisturisation.
