New Hair And Face Of The Day

Yesterday I went to the Fabulous Hair Company to get my hair highlighted and trimmed. I have been going to Fabulous since I was 19 years old. I met Kiri when he came to purchase a mobile phone from where I was working, my hair was needing a cut so I paid him a visit and never looked back. I really do think that Kiri (the owner) does the best hair cuts. I am quite fussy but have always come out of Fabulous feeling wonderful, like a new woman, and I feel that this is so important!

The team at Fabulous are friendly and attentive - regularly asking if you would like a tea or coffee and bringing with it a nice biscuit too. The magazines are all the latest and they stock and use Paul Mitchell products.

Readers will know that my roots were crying out for attention, I have been guilty of neglecting my colour. I was concerned that having left it so long it would cause problems but Kiri assured me he could sort it. He is one of those rare hairdressers, that listens to what you have in mind but also makes suggestions.  I had 3 shades put into my hair, the highlights are lovely and natural and exactly what I was imagining when I went in.  I think that he did an incredible job and you would never know that I had two tone hair (major dark roots) when I entered his premises at 9am!

 I promised Kiri I would not leave it so long next time and this time I meant it.

Here is a picture of me in the Salon, unfortunately I was suffering really badly from hay fever all morning so by the time this was taken I was feeling really quite ill, my eyes were puffy and my makeup virtually wiped off!

I usually have my hair blow dried straight but this time I went for something a little different.

Face Of The Day

My hair still looks great today so I thought I would share with you a FOTD of how I looked when I went  in to London this morning.

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss and L'Oreal Glam Shine

Don't you just love coming across items you had no idea you owned or long forgotten about in drawers, cupboards and tossed aside handbags?
I recently found a divine gloss from Victoria's Secret that must have been given to me as a gift from my parent's last trip to the US.

It is called Mochaboom and if ever there was a need for scratch and sniff screens this would be it, as I don't think I can adequately describe the smell of it which is utterly sublime. A chocolatey and sweet coffee mix, it is just so dreamy and comes out a thick, sticky consistency in  a creamy pearl colour. Probably not great for a windy day but it does look great on its own or over a lipstick
What do you think ?

Sadly, I have looked on the Victoria's Secret website and it seems they no longer do this particular one but if you are in America I would take a trip into their stores and see what they are currently offering as I think they are really rather nice @ $7 each.

On a happier note L'Oreal are still doing my favourite lip gloss range Glam Shine

They describe it as liquid shine for dazzling lips. I love them because they come in a cute bottle, have a handy,soft applicator wand and are not as sticky as other glosses can be and best of all create a wonderful pout and a slight shimmer.  There are 17 colours in the range, here I am wearing two of my favourite colours although truth be known I wouldn't mind a few more!

The colours I am wearing are 308 Ameythyst Strass and 405 Crystal Nude Glow. They are priced currently at £4.99 in Boots - usual price £6.99.
