Product of the Month...September!

Hello My Lovelies

For the past few years I've had plenty of hair brushes in my collection and each and everyone of them have just been a bit meh! I brush my hair at least once to twice a day like most of us do and too use a brush that is a meh isn't good enough in my opinion, you wouldn't use a rubbish toothbrush or bad moisturiser so why a mediocre hair brush?

If like me you've been trying different brands of brushes and not one you've wanted to repurchase then you need to grab yourself a Wet Brush! This is the USA's favourite detangling brush and I can see why. Soft bristles that don't tug at my naturally curly hair and glides through with ease to the point you don't even think you've brushed your hair or that you've some how missed it.


You can pick the Wet Brush up in lots of different colours including a glow in the dark one and mini for your handbag. I bought mine in TK Maxx for £6.99 after missing out the first time they stocked them but you can also buy them from Look Fantastic, Cult Beauty and Boots will also soon be stocking them so they slowly becoming easier to buy and they retail for £11.99.




What hair brushes have you tried and what are your favourites- let me know in the comments.

Till next time,

Disappointing Product Number 3- TRESemme Sea Foam.

Hello My Lovelies

I've been meaning to try a sea salt spray or mousse for absolutely ages so when I saw this one was being given away with Elle magazine I knew I had to try it.


The product in question is the new TRESemme sample size of the Perfectly Undone sea foam. A very light, thin mousse almost watery in consistency. I tested it out on a few occasions following the instructions to Dispense 2-5 pumps scrunch in and air dry or diffuse and I don't feel it really made much difference.
It's meant to 'create beautiful air-light waves with soft, natural-looking finish. This ultra-light Sea Foam, infused with Sea Kelp Extract, helps create natural-looking waves'.

I'm not sure what I was particularly hoping for with this product, that it might make my naturally curly hair look like I had been on the beach frolicking in the waves and to make me look like a mermaid but it just didn't perform all that well. To say I was a bit disappointed would be the truth, which is a shame but maybe it just didn't respond well to my hair?

You won't be surprised to hear that I won't be purchasing a full size of this product but I will be continuing to buy other products from TRESemme including the shampoo and conditioner which I adore.

Do you have any sea salt/foam recommendations for me? Do you love the TRESemme version? Let me know in the comments.

Till next time,
                   Tori.

Autumn Makeup...Nail Polishes!

Hello My Lovelies

Today is officially the first day of Autumn!! With this in mind I thought I would grab my favourite Autumn & Winter nail polish shades and share them with you.

I've had these Sally Hansen polishes for a couple of years and I love getting them out when the colder months strike. Pennies from heaven is a beautiful gold/bronze and perfect for the lead up to Christmas. The other, Commander in Chic is one I will reapply over and over- a lovely mink/brown/grey. The great thing about Sally Hansen polishes is the broad brush, one swipe and your good to go. 

Orly Colour Blast in Ruby Red is a new addition to my collection a shiny, vibrant red with a hint of shimmer and sparkle perfect for Christmas parties and one I know I will be wearing on Christmas day! This shade from Orly was so easy to apply, two coats and no chipping even after five days of wear. The easy grip bottle top is a great addition making it even easier to apply this ultra luxe shimmer polish. I can't wait to get my hands on some more from this range.

What are your favourite nail polishes for Autumn let me know in the comments!

Till next time,
                   Tori.
