Tangle Angel in Precious Pink Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

I'm always on the hunt for a good hairbrush, my hair is long and quite thick and I'm always whacking different products in it so a good brush is an essential for my barnet, but I tend to go through quite a few due to bent bristles and what not so when I heard of the Tangle Angel being great for detangling as well as being 'Kim K's favourite' I just had to give it a whirl.
The Tangle Angel* is a professional detangling hairbrush which is not only perfect for detangling both wet and dry hair, but is also a great blow drying brush and is suitable for all hair types. The brush itself comes in lots of different colours but I opted for Precious Pink because it was so cute and girlie, the back of the brush has an angel wing design which not only looks pretty but is multi functional too because you can hold it just by the wing design to get greater control and extra grip or you can just use the free standing handle. 
The bristles of the brush come in different lengths to catch every hair and are super soft and flexible, at first glance it reminded me of my tangle teezer but actually the bristles are much softer and more flexible with the Tangle Angel. Theres so many other benefits to the Tangle Angel bristles too, their heat resistant (the tangle teezer isn't) and retain their shape even when used with high temperatures, their anti static which is a major plus for me because theres nothing I hate more than when my hair goes static, and the bristles and the plastic also have antibacterial additives embedded within them which makes it an ultra hygienic brush.
Overall I really love the Tangle Angel brush and have been pleasantly surprised by it, it glides through my hair with ease without pulling or tugging and I've noticed that hardly any of my hair gets left behind within the bristles, not like my other large paddle brush I have which is basically full of my hair which has been yanked out. I also love how soft the bristles are, their not scratchy in the slightest and feel so gentle against my scalp, and the brush is super lightweight too despite looking quite heavy so its easy to hold whilst I blow dry or straighten my hair.

If you have long thick hair like mine that's prone to tangling or being hard to manage in the mornings then I'd definitely recommend this beauty, I mean if it's good enough for Kim K then why not hey? He he.

L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Collection Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

Being graced with quite long hair means I get to play around with styles a lot, I mean I'm not the most creative person out there when it comes to my hair but I do love to curl and wave my hair and then go on to styling it afterwards and I've been loving some of L'Oréal's Professionnel Tecni.Art Collection to help me do so.
One of my favourite products from the L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni Art Collection is the Full Volume Extra Mousse* (RRP £11.79), this is where it all starts for me in terms of building and great platform for my styles, I just pop some of the mousse into the palms of my hands and spread it through my hair with my fingers, this not only gives my hair such a volumised look once it's blow-dried in but adds texture and grip for when I'm curling and styling. What I love about this mousse is that it's not hard, crispy or flaky like other mousses I've tried in the past, it literally keeps everything in place but with a real soft finish which I love, and it smells incredible - just like the hairdressers.
Something else that is a life saver for me when curling my hair is the Tecni Art Pli Thermo-Fixing Spray* (RRP £13.99), this is a heat activated setting spray that gives instant volume, adds shape, fix, grip and hold whilst you style your hair with a heated tool, so as you can imagine having this spritzed into my hair before curling makes things a lot easier for me afterwards and keeps my waves in place for days without weighing my hair down.

The only downside to curling and waving my hair is often I'll get those annoying fly aways or frizzy bits that just wont tame - I'm sure I'm not the only person that really gets the hump by this, but the Tecni Art Liss Control Gel-Cream* (£14.50) has really been helping me out in that department, I can now see why this is a best-seller for L'Oréal. This gorgeous stuff controls and smooths those pesky frizzy bits and fly aways for up to 24 hours and I kid you not it really does do the trick, I use this gel-cream every single time I blow dry my hair now because even if I wear my hair straight it still controls the fly aways and frizz, I love this stuff so much. I'd also recommend this if your going on holiday or dealing with humidity, I bet it would cope with that amazingly!

Finally if your a lover of dry shampoo then you NEED to give the Tecni.Art Morning After Dust Invisible Dry Shampoo* (£13.36) a whirl. I use this just like any other dry shampoo but theres no residue or 'talc scalp' look what so ever and it gives mega root lift too, again the smell is absolutely divine and you could easily trick people into thinking your hairs been freshly washed, this stuff has probably impressed me the most out of everything!

Whats your favourite things from the L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Collection beaut's? I'd love to know!

L’Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Nutrifier Collection Review


Hey beaut's!

When it comes to my hair I'm quite naughty and do neglect it slightly, I'm always using heat on it whether it be when I curl it, straighten it or blow dry it and as you can imagine this leaves me with very dry, frazzled hair especially on the lower lengths, infact last year I had to have loads of my hair chopped off because it was so dry and damaged, so I'm always on the hunt for good haircare products now that will really repair and nourish my hair. 
The first step to take when you really want to repair your hair is finding the correct products to wash and condition it with, this can seem so simple but can make such a difference in the overall look and feel to your hair, and stupidly I didn't realise this until recently, I'm the sort of person who would usually pick up any shampoo on offer whether it be for my hair type or not and then wonder why there was no improvement in my hair at all - silly Hayley. Sooo.... I've been using the L’Oréal Nutrifier Shampoo and Condition on my hair recently which are both specially designed for dry, undernourished hair - perfect for me and my barnet! The Série Expert Nutrifier Shampoo* (RRP £11.50) and the Série Expert Nutrifier Conditioner* (RRP £12.50) are both silicone-free and made with glycerol and coconut oil. As we all know coconut oil has amazing benefits for the hair, not only does it nourish the hair but it nourishes the scalp too and brings shine to the hair and the added glycerol helps to hydrate and retain moisture, so these two are a match made in heaven for my hair. Since using this shampoo and conditioner I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my hair, it's softer, appears shiny and glossy, the ends don't feel dry or frazzled anymore and the overall appearance is just so much healthier!
Another step I like to take is using the Série Expert Nutrifier Masque* (RRP £14.75), this is an intense, deep conditioning treatment for the hair. I love using this once or twice and week, all I do is wash and condition my hair as normal than slather on the masque from root to tip and leave for around 5 minutes or so then rinse off. I have to say the results of this masque are instant and if your suffering with dry hair then one use of this will knock your socks off, my hair feels incredible when I've used the masque, it's so silky soft with even more added shine and nourishment, I can see myself buying this over and over as I cant live without it in my haircare routine now.

Overall I'm so happy I've come across the Série Expert Nutrifier range because it suits my hair down to a T, my hair feels super soft at all times, shiny, nourished and never weighed down or greasy, not to mention the scent of these products is incredible - really luxurious and just like you walked out of the salon.

Face and Hair of the Day

Hey girlie's!!! I went out for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and his dad so i thought i may as well share with you a cheeky little face of the day (focused more on the eyes than the skin) and hair of the day combined.... Hope you like ♥



Face

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory, i used my Real Techniques Buffing brush to get a nice flawless finish.

♥ Collection Concealer in Light.

♥ Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium, i used my Real Techniques Powder brush to get the perfect finish.

Eyes

♥ Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study, i just blended this all over the lid with my finger to work as a base for my eyeshadow.

♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, i started off mixing 'Foxy' and 'WOS' together with my Real Techniques base shadow brush and popped that all over the lid, using the same brush i took the colour 'Faint' and worked that into my crease. To get that extra blended finish in my crease area i picked up a small amount of 'Naked 2' on my deluxe crease brush and just buffed away. I used my accent brush to smudge 'Crave' on the outta corner of my lower lash line.

♥ Dainty Doll Liquid Eyeliner on the upper lash line.

♥ Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Kohl Eyeliner in Black used to line the water line.

♥ Maybelline The Falsies Mascara in Black.

Brows

HD Brows Kit using Ash Brown from the Foxy Palette, i used my Real Techniques detailer brush as this brush is the perfect shape for my brows.

Lips

Natural Collection's Pink Mallow.

Hair

As always i used my Remington Pearl Curling Wand to curl my hair, I'm loving this style at the moment as the curls stay in for a good couple of days in my hair, which in the long run it means I'm using less heat on my hair. 

Love Hayley xXxXx
