Summer Beauty Loves

A few products I’m loving and that are going to help me along this summer!

 

Start fresh this summer with Moroccan Oil Clarifying Shampoo and strip hair of all that excess product build up! I also love their Frizz Control Spray for any fly away hairs after straightening, or just keeping al-natural locks tame!

I love the smell, texture and results from the Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick Beauty Balm – Like a leave in conditioner, it will protect hair from heat styling, smooth and nourish dry hair.

The latest LANCÔME GRANDIÔSE MASCARA is one of the more innovative mascara’s I’ve seen with its curved swan neck, really allowing you to get up close and personal with your lashes, really defining length, lift and volume capabilities!

Yay for us moms! ( Or you party girls!!) Ban dark circles with Vichy IDÉALIA EYE. With its soft tip silicone applicator, this little tube will sweep away grey tones, contains nourishing shea butter, moisturising the eye area, softens fine lines and brightens eyes thanks to mother of pearl pigments.

 

 

Loving something a little different for summer nights. Unlike your typical fresh, airy summer fragrance, welcome the more seductive Armani Si Intense. 

Says Armani:

“With captivating clarity, blackcurrant neo jungle essence, a note extracted from the very heart of the fruit, is illuminated with zesty bergamot and mandarin essences, with just a hint of silky freesia. Opulent, floral and intensely feminine, the heart offers an exquisite bouquet of rose de mai superessence and neroli absolute, made even more sophisticated with velvety davana and osmanthus blossom.

Warming to the skin, the fragrance reveals its carnal nature. Intoxicating sensual notes of vanilla absolute are made even more sumptuous with vanilla pure jungle essence. Lingering over resinous fir balsam, golden benzoin and the dark woodiness of orcanox and patchouli. A fragrance of passion, softly powerful, assertive and unmistakably feminine.”

Energise and boost skin this summer with Gatineau Active Eclat Flash Radiance Serum. Light and fresh, this serum illuminates, smooths, brightens and moisturises – kissing dull, winter skin good bye!

Tangle Teezer

I was pretty skeptical about the Tangle Teezer as my hair gets really knotty and I’ve had hair dressers use those flat , mit-like combs on my hair with no luck. Even a wide toothed comb can take time in my hair. But wow, the Tangle Teezer works like a dream. It’s gentle, no pulling and quick. I tried it with my Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick Leave in Conditioner which worked a charm, but then I thought to challenge it with no conditioner, but it was just as effective. Very impressed with what I thought was bit of a gimmick.

My Retail Box Purchases

So excited with my order from Retail Box. Now you can purchase all your favourite hair care products on line and save a trip to the salon. They also have some fabulous specials on the go, like the Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick Set I ordered. (Was R796 – now R500)

I love a spray & leave-in conditioner for every day use like this Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner, totally saves time, but for when you have a little bit more time for more of a pamper, the Moisture Kick Recharger Mousse is amazing. Work the mousse in through towel dried hair and leave on for 3-5 minutes before washing it out. My hair felt instantly softer! Love this product! Thanks to Nicole from Tosca for the recommendation 🙂 Read more on the range here. 

Another must have hair treat is the Moroccan Oil, Oil Treatment for super soft hair. I usually work a little into towel dried hair before drying off and my hair is left soft and healthy looking. All their products are amazing, I also love the Glimmer Shine Spray after I’ve ghd’d my hair to combat those fly away hairs and add a  healthy shine. A little goes a long way!

Talking about ghd. I can’t live without the Heat Protector Spray! Also check out the amazing specials and new ghd products available at Retail Box.

 

A product I haven’t tried yet, and am told will be great post pregnancy when your hair can take a bit of a knock, or maybe your hair is generally just lacking in lustre, is the Kerastase Initialiste Advanced Hair & Scalp Concentrate.  Watch the videos below on how to work this magical concentrate into your hair and scalp for stronger, thicker, shinier hair.

Retail Box will also throw in a couple of samples for you to try before your next purchase. I always love them for weekends away, leaving my big sizes at home. For loads more brands and products, check out http://www.retailbox.co.za
