PRODUCT RAVE

I'm back raving again about something I have known was kinda special for a long time but for some bizarre reason I just stopped using it, probably because I like to mix it up ... That's just how I roll :)

Anyway, so I recently purchased it again and I'm actually addicted. It's a conditioner by Aussie called 3 Minute Miracle and it's UNREAL.COM ..... lol


Product: AUSSIE, 3 Minute Miracle, Reconstructor, Deep Conditioner

Directions: Sqeeze from bottle. Apply to clean (previously shampoo'd), wet, hair. Leave between 1-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

The Aussie Philosophy: "There's more to life then hair but it's a good place to start"

They say: For hair in need of TLC (okay, so that was me sold. It's a lovely thought isn't it? Your hair getting tender, loving, care as you shower). This product promises to transform dry, damaged hair into manageable and shiny locks in just 3 minutes with there unique formula Safflower Seed Oil which helps mend split ends and roughened hair cuticles.

I SAY: I don't have dry or damaged hair but I do have long knotty hair which this product makes tangle free, silky and shiny.


PRO'S:

1. Soft, smooth, untangled hair.
2. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
(I don't have any more pro's but I guess that's all one wants from a conditioner)


CON'S:

1. This probably isn't the companies fault but I have found that this product varies massively in price range. The most I have paid for a 250ml bottle is €8.99 and the least is €3.49.

2. It might just be me but I thought it was worth mentioning that this product doesn't last as long as any other conditioner I have ever used! I think it's because it has quite a thick consistency so you use more then average per use. To be honest I probably use too much conditioner in general.


I just want to add that this probably isn't the product for you if you have naturally oily hair but anyone with dry, damaged or tangled hair it's definitely worth a try :)

Until next time,

Lollz xx

NUDE is the new black ......

Nude is so IN right now and I am LOVING it. Its sooooo Spring / Summer and there are shades and shapes for every skin and body type. As you will see below I am really into the pinky nude. I think its the prettiest colour and is very easy to wear.

Just a quick round up of a few celebs seen out and  about in Nude dresses.

Jaime Winestone
Jaime paid tribute to the late great Alexander McQueen at the BAFTA Awards and I think she looks stunning. Very Hollywood.


Kelly Osborne
Kelly, 25, showed off her new trim figure in this feathered Sue Wong dress at Elton Johns Oscar Party. She got some critisism for her choice in dress but I think she looks beautiful. Not sure about the purple locks though Kel?

 Demi Moore
Demi, 47, shows off a figure most twenty year olds would kill for in a Versace frock. Demi always looks classy and this occasion is no exception.

Amanda Holden
Amanda, 39, also at Elton Johns bash looks beautiful in a Ralph and Russo gown.

For us meer mortals who do not have designers banging down the door, clambering over each other for us to wear their clothes ... here are some affordable ways we can rock the nude trend.


New Look have a HUGE array of nude dresses, shoes, bags, cardigans etc ..... Here are a few of my favourites shoes, all available on http://www.newlook.com/


Nude Flip Flops - £10.00
Perfect for holidays and sunny days. I really like these as I am a little bit allergic to heels lately. I think I am going through a phase as I am normally addicted to heels. So if like me spring / summer to you is all about flats these are cute and comfy. What more can a gal ask for?


Metalic Trim Platform - £30.00
These shoes are super high so definitely not for the faint hearted. But even if the thought of actually walking in these makes you dizzy you  have to admit they are stunning!  I had to force myself not to buy these as I know for a fact I would never wear them, they are just too high.
 

Bow Front Patent Wedges - £20.00
If your not into flats or sky scraper heels these are the nude shoes for you. Wedges are making a come back and are huge for spring / summer. I think wedges are a great happy medium, shoe-wise, as they are easier to walk in then heels. I think these are cute for under a sun dress or even under jeans.

 

 Some of my favs A/Wear. All available on http://www.awear.com/


Pink Multi Lace Tier Skirt - €28.00

I LOVE this skirt, so cute and has been featured in many magazines! Great for adding curves and so girly. Now I tried this skirt on and it did nothing for me so I definitely think its not for those of us with big bottom halves.

 

Pink Gold Bottom Detail Dress - €40.00

I bought this dress and I love it. I'm a curvy girl and I think the shape and way it hangs is perfect if like me you have any areas you want to hide.

 
Belted Sateen Pencil Dress - €45.00
Again a stunning dress, great for hour glass or boyish figures as the belt can either accentuate or add curves. Very classy.






Nearly every shop has lots of Nude / Pastels at the moment including River Island, Primark / Penneys, Oasis and Topshop. I have just picked a few pieces but the possibilities are endless.

If the thought of wearing head to toe nude just scares you, accessorise! Nude shoes are a great wat to start and to make legs look leaner and longer.

Or try a nude handbag and scarf. Fashion is all about taking the current trends and making them work for you.

Until next time,

Lollz


P.S .... I am not afilliated with any of the shops mentioned above xx
