Review: Tangle Teezer

After struggling to brush my thick and rather frizzy hair without pulling knotted clumps of it out and due to being recommended it by about 10 different people, I decided to finally buy myslef a Tangle Teezer. I have to admit it has been one of my best hair care purchases ever, and I'm not to sure how I ever survived without it.

I purchased my Tangle Teezer from Boots for £10.99 although you can buy them online easily through Amazon, Ebay etc..

Being born with thick, frizzy and curly-ish hair brushing it has always been a nuisance, I only brush my hair when its wet after I wash it just to get the knots out, if I brush it while dry the curls disappear and it just turns into a puffy and even thicker mess. The change I had  in brushing my hair after purchasing a Tangle Teezer (which has 2 different size "teeth") was amazing.

The biggest difference I found it had with my hair was when brushing my hair wet, instead of clumps of knotty hair being pulled out I found only a few stray hairs were left in the brush.

The pain that I usually came across when trying to pull a brush through ridiculously knotty hair had gone and the Tangle Teezer would easily glide through my hair. It is great!

The only negative point is the design, although it comes in a variety of colours, the shape seems to always be a "half an egg". I find it really awkward to hold and continuously drop it due to the slippery plastic and no clear handle. Another thing is the bristles are fairly short and as my hair is thick doesn't brush through the whole width of my hair, this isn't a big issue though as all I have to do is flip my hair over and brush the bottom, not a big deal.

I would recommend this to anyone who suffers with knotty hair as it literally is a life saver :)

Clarins skin illusion foundation review

So this is our first ever make up review post woooo! Today I went out to John Lewis with my mum to get my Christmas present, and I ended up getting make up from the company "Clarins". It is meant to be a really good make up brand and all the reviews I read said it was light and of a good quality, so my mum bought me a liquid foundation and an eyeshadow pallet. I would blog about those however I will have to wait till Christmas, so in the mean time I decided to review the foundation my mum bought.



It's a foundation called "skin illusion" in powder form, and comes in a variety of shades and sizes, we purchased the 13 grams pot for £25.


 Although it seems a lot compared to the cheaper range of foundations that you would buy in Boots or Superdrug, the quality is amazing, It covers up blemishes and levels out skin tone leaving a polished effect instead of a matt effect, which my mum preferred. What me and my mum liked most about Clarins foundation in general and was the way it looked and felt natural like you aren't even wearing any.  
  It also comes with a brush included for the £25 price, the brush is really good and suitably fits the foundation as it collects all the powder meaning none is wasted.

Me and my mum would so recommend this foundation and the whole Clarins range of foundations in general if you are willing to spend a little extra just because of the fact that it feels so light and nice. Also being made out of mineral and plant extracts it is completely natural so shouldn't irritate your skin.

If you are not sure on your skin tone, type and would have trouble choosing the correct foundation online I would definitely consider going into a department shop such as John Lewis or House of Fraser and get the people in there to help you decide and let you test it out!
