BeautyBlender Solid BlenderCleanser

Best makeup brush cleaner EVER. I’ve tried so many and while they were all great at removing eyeshadow and other powders from brushes and sponges, I could never get the brushes I had used with liquid foundations and concealers completely clean. I would end up having to resort to using eye makeup remover and that can be quite costly. I needed to order another beauty blender because my only one was getting so much use, so I decided to order the pack that included the BlenderCleanser. Best decision ever because I have found my Holy Grail brush cleaner. It’s a little circle of freshly scented soap that gets every hint of makeup off brushes in mere seconds. I try to wash my brushes after every use at least and I’ve barely made a dint in the soap, so it does last quite a while and you’ll be able to get a lot more uses out of it than a traditional liquid brush cleaner.

De Lorenzo et Oil Balance Treatment

This is a pre shampoo oil spray treatment that is great for dry or heat damaged hair. Just spray from roots to ends, comb through, tie up in a bun and leave for 15 minutes. This leaves hair feeling healthy, silky and ridiculously soft. For some reason it also leaves my hair REALLY straight, to the point where if I use this the night before I don’t even need to style it the next day. Cruelty Free.

REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream

When I ran out of my Go-To Skincare face cream but hadn’t had the chance to order another tube yet, I decided to pop into Mecca to pick something up for the time being. While I loved the Very Useful Face Cream, I wanted to keep it solely for nighttime use and find another product to use just for during the day. So I went into my local Mecca and had a chat to the lovely girl about how I recently cleared up my acne and wanted something to address the redness leftover but still be a hydrating and light cream for during the day. She asked me my price range and I told her I didn’t really have one because to me, skincare is something you should invest good money in.  So she took me over to the REN stand and told me a little about the brand and handed me the Global Protection Day Cream which was absolutely perfect for me. The cream is great for sensitive skin and keeps it hydrated and protected from irritants. It’s also free from parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes and petro chemicals and is instead filled with lots of powerful antioxidant ingredients. It is a little bit thick but it does absorb quite well into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and healthy. Since I brought this product I haven’t suffered from irritated or dry skin from the cold winter days and it’s helping soothe the existing redness on my face. Love. Love. Love. I really want to try more products from this brand. Cruelty Free.

GHD Ceramic Vented Radial Brush in Size 3

I always wanted to recreate a salon style blow wave at home but always struggled with using a round brush during the process. Well not anymore, this GHD brush is essentially fool proof. While the bristles may seem sharp, they give a much better grip at the root of the hair and also are a lot sleeker when brushing through knotted strands with the blow drier. Also because it is a ceramic brush it retains heat to make at home blow-dries quicker and a bit more care free. This is such great quality and the longer handle makes it easier to get to the harder to reach places at the back of your head. Cruelty Free.
