3 Products That I'm Really Quite Excited About At The Moment. And Maybe You Will Be Too. ♥
March 30, 2010

1. Sebastian Trilliant Thermal Protection & Shimmer Complex

If my hair could talk, I would be in a lot of trouble. For starters, that would just be plain weird, and also, because our conversations would probably sound like this:

Hair: ''HOW DARE YOU! Recklessly and selfishly straightening me like you do every single morning, exposing me to 200 degree heat and all! What do you think I am? INVINCIBLE? That I DON'T need protection from the beauty equivalent of a portable furnace that you're applying to me daily? You MONSTER! I hope it all falls OUT! Oh, wait..''

And I would say ''settle down, hair!'' and also ''really, you'd wish that upon YOURSELF?'' and then quietly reassure it that there's no need for dramatic ultimatums anymore because I'm now using something that will help to minimize any heat-related damage: its name is Sebastian, and its excellent. I'll admit, I was sold at the word 'shimmer', but the fact that it makes my hair feel significantly healthier is a lovely little selling point, too.

2. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Therapeutic Hand Cream

I love Palmer's and routinely babble about how wonderful everything that they produce is so often that you could be completely forgiven for thinking that I'm actually employed by them. I'm not! (But I'm starting to wish that I was.) Why? Well, for starters, their products actually WORK. (I know! Imagine that!) In addition to this, they always smell delightful, and they're so consistently brilliant that I can't help but endlessly commend them: their shampoos and conditioners (my personal favourite) acually DO make your hair feel amazing, their lip butters truly ARE nourishing, and their hand cream? Let's just say that if your hands enjoy feeling like sandpaper, this will quickly become their nemesis.

3. All About Glo Bronzer & Illuminator

Every now and then on a Sunday morning I'll peer at my expression in the mirror and think ''oh, crap.There is no way that I'm going to be able to convince anyone that I had anything less than 2,6567 vodkas last night, NO way!'' And then I'll apply some of All About Glo's mineral-infused bronzer and illuminator and just like magic, it will make me look as though I'd decided to stay home with a cup of camomile tea and enjoy a nice quiet night-in, after all. (Lies!)
