Perfume for your hair?!


We all wear perfume on a daily basis, but not many of us have heard of a perfume specifically made for your hair...

...Introducing Herra Hair Protect, a clever little spray which not only provides your hair with a gorgeous scent, but also protect your hair from pollution, UV and free radicals. It's also paraben free, a big plus in my books!

I have been using this product for the last couple of weeks, and what instantly hit me was the gorgeous fresh, almost aromatheraputic scent with notes of vanilla, bergamot and sandalwood. 

Using 2-3 sprays at arms length through the length of your hair after a blow dry helps your blow dry last that precious bit longer. This spray is lightweight and not at all greasy, meaning you can spray throughout the day as often as you wish for a refreshing uplift.

• Protection – Sunflower extract protects the structure of the hair, provides UV protection and helps prevent hair colour fade, whilst olive fruit extract is rich in antioxidants that help protect against pollution and free radicals. Paraben free.

• Moisturisation – Glycerin helps provide ample hydration and seals in moisture, without weighing down the hair.

• Fragrance – The Herra signature fragrance is a blend of the finest key notes creating a fresh, modern, uplifting experience that appeals to all. Ingredients include Italian bergamot, loquat fruit, midnight orchid, rose, white jasmine, mimosa, heliotrope, lily, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk.

Priced at £24.99 for 50ml this may seem a bit pricey, however you only need to use a small amount meaning this chic bottle lasts a good while, and looks fab on your dresser!

Since using my hair seems more shiny, and nourished. I have had also had lots of comments on my hair smelling so good, which is super important seeing as my job involves me being up close and personal with clients! 

Would you use a hair perfume? Let me know..

Review and Swatches of New Revlon Lip Butters!

With many rave reviews and buzz on Revlons new lip butters, I had to see what all the fuss was about, and these beautiful lipstick balms do not disappoint!

The lip butters offer great pigmentation and colour density with a shine, and double up as a hydrating balm for your lips.. With great colour and lip softening ingredients everyone is a winner!

The product is also relatively long wearing for a balm, lasting between 2-3 hours, which is also a plus.

These are a must for fellow Makeup Artists kits, as well beauty lovers alike!

They retail at £7.99 and are currently on offer of 3 for 2 at Boots. There are a wide range of shades so there is a shade to suit all..

I went for some bright on trend summer shades, swatches below, from left to right; 035 Candy Apple, 075 Lollipop and 015 Tutti Frutti.

Love the packaging which is coloured to match the butters, making it easy to find the colour I need when in a rush on set! I shall definately be expanding my collection!
