Project Brow: An update

Today I thought I’d give you all a little update on my eyebrows (don’t I spoil you). If you’ve been reading for a few months you will of seen my posts about Project Brow, and my plan to grow my eyebrows and have them full and lovely by the wedding. Well guess what. I grew my eyebrows, they were thick and groomed, and I hated them! I don’t mean I needed to get used to them, I genuinely hated them.

Even hiding behind the fluff ball Freddy I can’t disguise my big eyebrows!

Review: Murad Pom-Power Pore Cleansing Facial

The warm and inviting Murad Beauty Room

For me a facial is one of the best forms of relaxation. You lie back, let someone else give your skin a fantastic cleanse and with any luck come out looking brighter and more rested. So I’m always looking to try out new treatments.

Today I decided to go for the Murad Pom-Power Pore Cleansing Facial. An express 30 minute treatment to cleanse and tone skin and leave it feeling refreshed.

Review: InstaNatural Cellulite Cream

Despite being someone who regularly exercises (I’ve run 3 marathons), I never seem to be able to shift the stubborn cellulite on my thighs. I go to the gym, eat well, exfoliate but it’s always there. In clothes I feel fine but once anywhere above my knee is exposed I feel a little self conscious. As the honeymoon is now booked (eeeek) I want my body to look in its best condition so I’m keen to try products that will help me achieve smooth looking skin.

July love list

Here’s what I’m loving this month

I’ve never done a favourites post before but I’ve tried out some great things in the past month so I thought it would be a great time to share them with you. If anyone would like to know anything more about the items feel free to ask, these are just a brief intro into what I was loving in July!

Perfectil Review – 3 weeks

The trial box that got me started

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to get my hair in tip top condition for my wedding. Aside from cutting down on heat styling this has also meant starting to take a vitamin supplement specifically designed for hair.

I’d previously been given a sample of Perfectil at a wedding fair, and as this is formulated for skin, hair and nails it seemed worth trying it out. I’ve been using them for 3 weeks now so I thought I’d give you a little review.

Project Brow: Please excuse my eyebrows…

Looking at my eyebrows a few weeks ago I decided they were a bit patchy, not completely even and definitely in need of a tidy up. I inherited my eyebrows from my dad (he had thick black curls back in the day) so if left to their own devices my brows can be a bit bushy and wild.

Step away from the straighteners

Depending on your view I was blessed/cursed with curly (read wild, uncontrollable, frizzy) hair. As a child it wasn’t too bad, the length and weight meant that it stayed straightish once blow dried and aside from my frizzy corners (mum said I was the only person she knew whose head had corners) I coped with my mop for many years. Rewind to 2003, my 24th birthday to be precise and this is where things began to change. I was desperate to have lovely straight, sleek hair and I was lured by the promise of glossy locks into begging my parents for a set of GHD straighteners. Overnight my hair went from fluffy frizz ball into super shiny uber STRAIGHT locks. I was in love. My hair was manageable (once straightened) and was poker straight like I’d always dreamed.
