[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve had such a good weekend of beauty testing – often the week is so hectic and it’s a bit of a juggle creating separate content for Instagram and paying Subs that it’s the only time I can really drill down with stuff that takes a little longer. So, I’ll kick off with Oribe…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m almost jumping for joy about Kerasilk Smoothing Mask which performed so far over expectations that I can hardly believe it. I have naturally curly hair which frizzes if I so much as open the oven so I’m always somewhat sceptical about frizz killers. I tried Charles Worthington Dream Coat last week and that…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] My hair has been driving me mad – to use the well-known Friends phrase, it’s the humidity! It’s more or less back to normal in terms of thickness after the Covid fall out I think – I’m not so cautious about what I’m putting on it now so I’m testing more hair products again.…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I think we have to take on board that this product sells at the rate of one per 30 seconds around the world. I was never a big fan of dry shampoos until the category really upped its game and started working for more than a few minutes, but that Living Proof Perfect Hair…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s funny (not) that this product is being sold as a defence against ‘premature scalp ageing’ when in actual fact, it stands very well on its own two feet as a general scalp soother. My scalp (sorry for the upcoming overshare) has been an absolute mess – literally such big flake masses that they…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ads] It’s taken me such a long time to be interested in hair care – I’ve picked these three sets because they’re such a good representation of what’s around. If you’re not interested in hair, but want to give gifts to those who are, hopefully it will act as a guide. Gosh, I can’t tell…

[unpaid/sample] For years and years I slept with no pillows – they always seemed so cumbersome and in the way. Partly, it’s because I slept on my front and that’s more of a naturally flat position. Things change – I still like a relatively flat pillow – don’t give me any of those big fluffy…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I know, I know – I said no more but even as those words left my keyboard, I knew there would be some late arrivals! I’m a big Invisibobble user – in every room in our house you will find them (apart from the loo, now I think about it) and I’ve quite often…

[purchase/affiliate] I’ve wanted to try the Glaze Super Colour Conditioning Gloss since it came out but have a back log of hair products to test and try and have only just got around to using it. It’s short term – and short time – dye (so do all the usual checks and pre-tests) that you…

[unpaid/sample] Let me start with the bare fact that any hair dryer will dry your hair. A super swishy one isn’t one of life’s essentials but if you’re in the mood to upgrade, Dyson has competition. I am a die-hard Dyson fan, having fully expected this expensive upstart to be just like any other in…

This is a really interesting product and not one I think I have come across before – a shampoo/mask hybrid. I made a couple of mistakes the first time I used it, the main one being that I applied far too much and then spent a very long time trying to rinse it out. Things…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So, I am trying not to swear but after last week’s bug I have Covid now so I will be doing just one post per day til I feel like doing a bit more. I’m not really ill with it but I’m aware that it’s coming on the back of another virus so I…

[unpaid/sample] Hair cleansing wipes? So much right about this quick fix for oily roots and yet a couple of wrongs, too. I’ll start with the wrong – who thought to put white writing on a pale blue packet? It’s so hard to read especially when it comes to the important bits like ingredients and the…
