Stop ripping your hair out, let the Tangle Teezer help you!

I'm quite lucky as my hair is very strong (almost too strong) and straight so it doesn't need too much maintenance. It was a great relief when I cut my hair short a couple of years ago because I was able to wash it and go straight out and it would look normal.  I recently got bored with having short hair (I get easily bored and like to change it up every so often) so I decided to start growing my hair.  I think the main factor was there are so many great styles at the moment and I can't try any of them out on myself! 

As my hair is getting longer, I have started to experience some common hair issues.  In addition to my hair being short and thick it is also blonde, bleached I will admit, which means it gets dry very easily.  I have naturally oily hair so the bleach helps to dry this up, however recently the ends have become dry and frazzled.  The ends have been splitting and my hair feels a bit like candyfloss and it got so bad that I have had to start taking extra care of it.

So the reason I am telling you all this, is because as a result of my frazzled hair I have been buying all sorts of lotions and potions to try and repair my hair and bring it back to life again! One thing I bought the other day was a Tangle Teezer! What is this you may ask? Well it is a hairbrush like no other....

It is a small brush that is molded to fit in the palm of your hand and is available in many different styles but so far I have seen the normal and compact size. They cost between £10.99 and £13.49 in Boots, depending which version you want. You can also order them direct from the Tangle Teezer website and get some top tips on how to use the brush for the best results on all hair types.  I had heard of these brushes before and thought they must be some faddy thing for people with long hair, but when I saw they did a purple glittery one I knew I had to have a closer look, within minutes I was walking away with my little gift (after paying for it of course).

It is the unique bristles that makes this brush different to others on the market, the 'teeth' help detangle your locks without pulling, tugging, ripping or splitting.  These brushes can be used on dry or wet hair for quick, pain-free detangling results.  In addition to this, it smooths the hair once dry and adds a polishing effect to your overall look.

Now you may scoff thinking this is a big list of things for one small brush to, do but it works!!  I have been using this brush since Saturday and as I am writing this post, it is Thursday and already my hair feels softer, smoother and less frizzy all over.  It feels as though I have a whole new head of hair and I believe it is all down to this little gadget from hairstyling heaven.

Happy Brushing!

Love Hundreds and Thousands? Then you'll love MUA's Nail Constellations!

Hello my Sweets!

If any of you love sprinkles, Hundreds & Thousands or anything cute and sweet then you are going to love MUA: Makeup Academy's Nail Constellations!  They are bottles of little beads in an array of cool colours that allow you to add that 3-dimensional feel to your nails!

The Constellations come in 5 colours Scorpio, Pisces, Leo, Gemini and Libra so you can pick a shade to suit your mood.  The packaging is very simple and practical as the pointed funnel top allows precision application and the clear bottle lets you see the different colours easily.

From www.muastore.co.uk

Here, I have the Gemini shade and it is made up of lovely, light pink, peach, gold and green beads that work together to create a fun look. Because I am not very skilled when it comes to detailed nail designs I decided to use the constellations on just one nail and I think it worked very well.

To apply these nail beads, it is best to apply the nail colour you want underneath then apply another thick coat of that same colour or a clear varnish.  Then apply the beads using the pointed tip to the nail or area you require. Make sure you do this while the varnish is still wet as this will be what holds the beads into place.  

Once you have all your beads in place, apply a clear coat of nail varnish over the top to keep them in place.  I found this step does dull the colour slightly, but it helps it last longer.  

I really like these Nail Constellations, in one quick and simple application you can jazz up your nails and give them that 3D look. I wouldn't say they are great for an every day nail as the beads can catch on your clothes etc but they are great for a weekend look. The colour combinations that are available are great and I cannot wait to collect them all (although they're sold out everywhere I look!)

You can have so much fun with these that it feels like you're topping your nails with sprinkles!

UPDATE: I'm sorry guys, I didn't realise until afterwards that I didn't tell you about the price etc. The Nail Constellations cost £3 each and I got mine from Superdrug.  You can also order them from the MUA website where I believe they offer International delivery if you are not based in the UK.  For me, you can't go wrong for £3!
