HEAT PROTECTION WITH WOW FACTOR... YES PLEASE.


Sebastian Professional Trilliant is my new favourite product.


It comes from Sebastian Professional's Flaunt range, which is all about shining like there is no tomorrow. The range of four products have been inspired by fashion's obsession with outshining the light after dark. The products are designed to style hair flawlessly and then allow the wearer to bask in the glory.


Trilliant is a THERMAL PROTECTION AND SHIMMER COMPLEX.
This multi-faceted complex, is designed to gently condition hair. It provides heat protection with ultra-light body and a shine smooth finish.


I use Trilliant on damp hair before blow drying. It leaves my hair with stunning body, and brilliant shine, which leaves me looking as if I have just walked out from a salon blow dry.

Trilliant can also be used on dry hair before styling with hot tools, to protect, smooth and of course SHINE.


This really is heat protection with wow factor. Come shine, and busk in the glory of an amazing product with me.

SCENT... ALWAYS THE SAME

Fragrance holds a special place in my heart.

My first ever perfume, Baby Doll (Limited Edition, with glitter) was brought for me as a gift by Mother, when I was 12 years old. Since then I have only had two other perfumes, a short (and I mean very short) stint with Lacoste 'A Touch of Pink' (since has under gone a name change I believe), and then I found my soul mate... Yves Saint Laurant CINEMA.


I have been through about 5 bottles of CINEMA. You could confidently call it my signature scent. It has an incredible power over people, everyone comments on it, I have one male friend who is infatuated with it...

It does as Jean-Paul Gauliter says a fragrance should do, it is "Something to make you want to eat the person in front of you when you smell!"

CINEMA contains notes of: clementine, mimosa, cyclamen, white peony, jasmin, amaryllis; on a base of amber, white musks, bourbon vanilla.
It is the vanilla which won my heart, and continues to wow it...

I have one in stock on my dresser waiting for the inevitable end of my current bottle...

My scent is always the same...

But I like it that way.

THIS IS FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDSHIP IS BEAUTY

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Because I haven't been the best friend of late. Last night made me realise how much I LOVE you two. How much you are a part of who I am, you are the ones who make my life beautiful.



Friends = Beauty

You both know the song in my heart, and I hope that I know yours.

MAKING BEAUTY SLEEP JUST THAT


I recently wrote this for the lovely girls at Beauty Bible. Thought I might as well share it, so we can all sleep easy...


We here at Beauty Bible live at a hundred miles an hour, trying to fit as many beauty launches, investigations into new products, and giving you as many beauty tips as we can every day so sleep is oh-so important, and with the JOHNSON’S® DREAMY SKIN™ range, our ‘beauty sleep’ is really that.
Our favourite product?



We all know about the calming benefits of having a long hot bath and JOHNSON’S® have bottled that feeling in the form of JOHNSON’S® DREAMY SKIN™ creamy bath. So pamper yourself, and let the luxurious fragrance, blended with Moonflower aroma indulge your senses as you prepare for your restful night time slumber.



We also love: JOHNSON’S® DREAMY SKIN™ body wash - it has a rich velvety soft formula, which helps enhance the skin's natural renewal process, so you awaken to more beautiful looking soft skin. It is enriched with Moonflower aroma, a fragrance known for its relaxing properties when used as part of a regular routine which has been proven to help you sleep better.

We finish off our evening routine with JOHNSON’S® DREAMY SKIN™ body cream or lotion. Finally a cream that not only works to renew the skin, but helps us sleep! With the Moonflower aroma and its loving, soft, velvety texture, you will be drifting away in no time, and awakening to beautiful soft renewed and well rested skin

WORRY: THE MAKING OF LINES

I have made a lot of worry lines in the past few days. Today I am deepening them. I am tossing up in my mind one of the biggest decisions of my life.
It is nothing really, but it could be the end of something big, and the beginning of something bigger, or the beginning of a fall.
I don't want to get hurt. I like knowing what is happening. I like control in my life. I could throw all of that away with one bold move. But if I chose to I could make the move work in my favour. I could be what I want to be. I could write my own story rather than follow the rule book of someone else.
I want to write my own story.
I want to make my own way.
I want to make the bold move.

But I am scared.
I am making worry lines instead.

I WANT BLACK LIPSTICK OR AT LEAST I THINK I DO


The black lipstick trend is sticking around. It is still being seen on the runway and on girls at beauty counters. I fell in love with it when visiting Kirks the other day, and seeing one of the Chanel girls wearing it... she looked so beautiful.

I am unsure about pure black... but definitely dark.

MAC have a black lippy coming out in October... I have my eyes on it.
