The Quest for the Perfect Mascara and Gingerness

I'm always on the look out for That Perfect Mascara.

I've pretty much tried the lot and I only buy Avon mascara now because their thick, lush brushes are perfect for my long eyelashes.

There is nothing worse than clumpy looking lashes and mascara that dries out after a few uses.  Avon's mascaras last the longest.

Avon has launched the first ever Wonder Brush.  and their Mega Effects Mascara, which promises more Volume and corner-to-corner coverage.

An entire different spin on how we apply mascara the old conventional way.

I can't wait to try this! 

Mascara Tip :  Remember NEVER pump your mascara brush in and out of its container. This causes bacteria build up and your mascara doesn't last as long.

and another thing....

I've been looking for a decent shampoo for ages that enhances your hair colour.

Being a ginger, and being 40 plus and starting to tweeze those stray greys...I googled some colour enhancing shampoos and found that there is not that much variety in South Africa for redheads, unless you're willing to pay a fortune at the salons for Redken and other such brand names.

However, I do sometimes use the Natur Vital Hair Colour Mask in Auburn to enhance my gingerness, but this tends to dry out my hair.

However, I stumbled across a blog post today over at Beauty Bulletin and found that Dove has launch a new product - perfect for me.

 

Dove's new Colour Radiance Shampoo with colour vibrant lock.  It is lower in sulphate and gently cleanses and conditions hair so that your colour stays more vibrant for longer.  In the range they also have a leave-in conditioner and care spray with UV filter.

I absa lootly LOVE leave-in conditioners, because I wear my hair in a sock bun at least once or twice a week and use that time to deep conditional my hair.  Perfecto!

Now all I need is Dove, Natur Vital and Avon to send me some free samples to try out.

Best caption wins a wee something from me.

Spotlight Dancer

Guess what?  I'm honoured to be this week's Spotlight Dancer over at Xmas Dolly. This week's theme for Monday Music Moves Me is a freebie. Well, I actually just found out I've cocked up the themes.  It's supposed to be "guys and dolls", but I misunderstood and did that one last week.  Och, well who sticks to the rules, right? 

  I thought I'd share Britney Spears' new song with you Plonkers seeing as its pretty catchy, she's shed all the extra McDonalds kilos and is looking pretty fekkin hot.  That's one thing I give Britney, she's always reinventing herself and when its time to release a new record and be smokin' hot, she always comes to the party.  I'm sure you'll agree she looks brilliant.












Have a great Monday and if you're soopa bored, check out my latest vlog...
