Hi guys. Happy Wednesday ! How has your week been so far ? I'm back at work now too, and Alex went back to school today so posting will be more regularly from today.  Today I will be sharing my favourite John Frieda Blonde haircare products. I was blonde most of 2017 and I really discovered that blonde highlighted hair does take extra care . I am back to brunette hair again now (and will be sharing my favourite haircare products for my Brunette hair soon too. ) I was lucky enough to get send the John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo and Conditioner end September last year thanks to Rubybox - and did a full review with before and after pictures  HERE   .  This shampoo contains citrus and chamomile to gently reduce colour pigment in the hair so that blonde hair is gradually lightened for a sun-kissed look. It contains no ammonia or peroxide, but rather uses a natural lightening complex. This product is suitable for all shades of blonde and can be used with the ma...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How has your week been ? Mine has been crazy busy but pretty good. A little while back I got sent the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go! Blonder range from Rubybox to test out.  As I mentioned a million times here on the blog - I am going lighter this year - so I was excited to test out the John Frieda range. This shampoo contains citrus and chamomile to gently reduce colour pigment in the hair so that blonde hair is gradually lightened for a sun-kissed look. It contains no ammonia or peroxide, but rather uses a natural lightening complex. This product is suitable for all shades of blonde and can be used with the matching conditioner and the lightening spray to achieve the best affect. The product is packaged in a tube, with a flip-top cap and has a yellow tint to indicate that it is part of the blondes range. Now I do wash my hair almost daily (apart from the one or two dry shampoo days when I really overslept or Sundays ) . So for the last three/a...

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? I totally skipped June favourites last month - as June was such a crazy busy month . I don't have too many favourites this month - as I didn't want to repeat most from last month - so I'm including all the newer favourites and sharing them with you guys today . But first let's hop into the non beauty related favourites . July was a much better month though - and even included a little getaway with the family to the beach .  That definitely was one of the magical moments of the month - a much needed getaway with my kiddo. Even though it was Winter - we had the most amazing weather for the whole week- perfect for spending most of the day at the beach relaxing.  While on holiday (and actually while shopping at Lush ) Tanya suggested I have to try Wicked Donuts. I'm so bummed we don't have one close to us but I think that's a good thing - and I'm sure my waistline would agree. I had the most awe...

Hi guys. Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?  Today I will be sharing the rundown of June's Sample Sunday series.  If  you don't know already - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  It's always fun for me to "test" a product and give my first impressions on it. So without too much chit chat let's jump into the products -   Today's  #SampleSunday  is a fun magazine freebie. Cosmopolitan and Marie Clarie has three types of make-up brushes free this month. I got the foundation brush- but will collect the others too. These brushes are really soft and I use it to apply BB creams. There is a cute blending brush and blush brush in the range too Today's  #SampleSunday  is another magazine freebie. This month the @essentialsmagsa has a pick from 5 different Essence Liquid Lipsticks. I love the range- since the formula is super hydrating and t...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ! RetailBox  launched another of their awesome SecretBoxes about two weeks ago - and I was lucky enough to get a box - these babies sold out very quickly and with good reason . The RetailBox Secret Boxes are worth their weight in gold. The boxes include salon quality haircare products - at a really good price - and Box 24 was no different.  The box retailed for R299 - but included 3 full sized L'Anza ColorCare products valued at a whopping R1050 ! That's a great bargain for a great range. I have been using the products for about two weeks now too , and so far I'm really impressed - I am including a mini review on each product down below. A little background on my hair - I have coloured hair , that tends to get greasy at the roots very quickly.  L'Anza ColorCare Shampoo 300 ml - R330 "L'Anza Healing Colour Care Shampoo will ensure your hair colour is extended 107% longer. It's mild formula is gentle on the hair and del...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . Hope you are having a great week so far. A little while back Avon released a new BB Perfection haircare range, and as always I knew I needed to give it a try. I'm super picky with haircare, I have thick coloured hair , that gets frizzy , but then again can get super greasy quickly.  I was SUPER tempted to try this range, so I decided to go big and try everything in the range. The range includes a shampoo, conditioner , beauty balm and mask. I was scared to get the conditioner, mask and beauty balm, because I know my hair ... It's either going to love it .. or it was going to go down horrible. (To be honest I thought it was going to go horrible.. since I know some products that claims to nourish is too nourishing on my hair ) I was pleasantly surprised when I use these combos together. The shampoo is AMAZING ! Hydrating, but not too hydrating, cleans my hair very nicely and keeps the frizzy hair at bay. The conditioner is nice too ... I like ...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . I'm so glad it's finally weekend.. It has been a long week. Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the new Trevor Sorbie Argon & Abyssinian Shampoo and Conditioner with you.  This range has been specifically created to target the key needs of dry and damaged hair. The unique blend of Argon and Abyssinian oil restores shine, strenght and manageability of all hair types.  This range is fantastic if you suffer from dry frizzy hair especially with the change to the suddenly warmer weather. The shampoo is nourishing, yet effective enough to clean your hair - and still helps to protect your hair in the process. The conditioner fortified with Keravis™ builds strength from within the hair shaft, reducing damage and leaving your hair shiny yet strong .  I have been using this shampoo and conditioner combo for the last two weeks - and so far I'm very impressed. My hair feels softer, smoother yet still clean . Something that's rare with nouri...
