What are the hair trends???????

People always ask....What are the trends and what is everyone doing???.....Well, I always seem to notice that whatever is in this week, is usually always out next week.......The spooky thing is, if I say like yay do a fringe...that's what the latest look is.....then unfortunately the week later...ooooooops....you now have a fringe that takes like 6 months or more to grow out!!!!!.....Looking over New York fashion week a couple of months ago....There was EVERY style from messy bed heads, neat as a pin librarian looks, high school braids, glam rock quiffs, messy braids with pully out bits everywhere....the list went on and on!!!!!!!!!!!!.........Fashion and hair trends are so diverse and different and ever changing that you honestly need to do what looks best on you and what feels comfortable.....
Some people can think of nothing more fun than fussing over their hair and spending ages doing it every time, whilst others are just a fluff and go!!!!!!....Thats cool....
The best thing about feeling confident and up to trend is to do whatever YOU feel good about......
There is no better feeling as when someone feels happy with their look, if its a simple bob or a granny set or a super dooper boffy do...........
You just have to look after what you have- by using the best possible products you can afford, keeping it simple and not over thinking your look............just be YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( this all sounds a bit deep and heavy for me now!!!!! hahahahahahahah) Love ya xoxoxoxoxoxox

RESULTS- Road test French Foundation

Is the By Terry Lumiere Foundation worth the $158?????........When I opened the container I swear I heard angels singing........it truly is a beautiful smelling and textured foundation....it goes on your face like silk............did the claims live up to expectation????.....hmmmmmm...not really.......would I buy it???......don't think so.....look, the colour range was a kind of tricky one.....they were either really light or a bit yellowy .....or even a bit pink!!!.....unfortunately it didn't make my wrinkles look any better.....I still needed to see the lovely Dr Naomi to sort those wrinkles out.......so the fountain of youth was not found in that foundation.....POO!!!!!!!!!!

One foundation I do love ( see pic above....sorry about the grubby lids!!!) and its INCREDIBLE BANG FOR BUCK is found at a professional make up shop called Showface http://www.showface.com.au/.....They are in the rocks area in Sydney....they have this amazing range called...TSZ foundation.....its a silicone based product that is actually designed for air brush makeup ( that machine is for another day...I have one and will tell you about it )......But the goodie part of this story is that you don't need an expensive machine to apply this make up......the TSZ foundation is super cheap...its only $39.50 for a 35ml bottle........Its super dooper amazing.....it stays on ALL day....sweat proof is soooooooooo flattering , it doesn't gloop or stick to any craggy lines or wrinkles!!!!.........its lovely an sheer and you can build it up if you like........I often apply it with my fingers or even use a sponge....a couple of drops goes a long long way.......You can order this product , along with lots of other stuff they sell online....but I would suggest going to the store and getting them to help you get just the right colour......I am quite pale and have no. 4 and also no.3 ........One thing you have to be sure of is that you are not allergic to silicone based products...some people are....so just check that first....to finish just use a fine translucent powder........PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love lots ....see you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

How regular will I be??????

I mean , as in how many blog posts of course!!!!!......I will try to do at least one per week.....and if I get super excited, like tonight....it may be more!!!!......don't forget if you are looking for something in particular....just ask and I will try to steer you in the right direction, also save you a bit of running around and hopefully money as well!!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxo

ROAD TEST- French foundation

Is it really worth spending $158 on a foundation???????????????............What the ?.......you say?......I am about to test the Lumiere Veloutee Ultra Correcting Fluid Foundation from By Terry......Now, if you can take all that in, it claims to hide imperfections, conceal the signs of ageing and fatigue and many other juicy things that keeps us all buying these expensive goodies........By Terry is a French brand of cosmetic and the founder is Terry de Gunzburg and is world famous for creating lots of the products we know and love...In Australia we pay super dooper top dollar for this brand....if we were in America, it would be almost half......sigh.............that still makes it a very expensive purchase anyway......So stay super tuned.....I may look YEARS YOUNGER and you may not recognise me!!!!!!!!!......I could have just found THE fountain of youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a jar ...for only $158!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...hehehe we will see............

Floppy hair????

Oh dear......that's not a good problem.....but be very thankful that you have hair!!!!!........Aveda has some great products.....Pure Abundance is a fab range......its has this amazing clay ingredient that makes your hair feel full and thick.......its also humidity resistant!!!! good times.......there is also a hair potion that is like a fine fine dust that you sprinkle into your hair after you have shampooed and conditioned and dried your hair........it has acacia gum in it that magically boosts your hairs volume.........you just shake it and rub it in......................
I also find dry shampoos also work very well for giving your hair lots of body.........because I know that clean clean hair is the worst thing for finey's...........the dry shampoo creates the bulking agent to give your hair that "not so clean feel"......but its super clean, just with BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........any brand is actually good to use.....there are lots of different priced ones out there.........They do spray white ( there are some coloured ones...hard to find and can mark the skin)......so I suggest spraying in....and then running the blowdryer with a brush through your hair so that it disperses the product............that works really well
I also suggest when you wash your hair , only use a teeny bit of conditioner mainly on the mid-lengths and ends..........comb it through SUPER fast in the shower and throughly wash it out straight away....DONT WAIT just wash..................
