My August LOVES...

WOW! I can't believe another month has come and gone already! That means it’s time again for my monthly loves!  So, let’s get cracking on them.

As always, a staple in my makeup is Urban Decay Naked Palette. Love it and you all know I do. You can read my review on that here.   I’m also loving my St Tropez tan this month as well. No sun here means no real tan so I have been using this to keep my skin looking golden.

This month I have been loving  Benefit Dandelion Blush! I have had this for ages and never really wore it. I took it out from its hiding place about two weeks ago and totally fell in love with it again. I have been using it now loads and it has become a favourite and taking pride of place in my makeup bag.

Some newbies this month have been, my BaBylisss Big Hair. I have used it loads since I got it and I really really love  it. It is really easy to use but I’ve found after using it a few times I’ve really gotten the hang of it and I can get my hair just how I like it. To read my full review on that click here.

Next up is two products from the TRESemme 24 Hour Body range. I have totally become addicted to using the Blow Dry Lotion and the Sky High Plumping Powder!  I love when my hair has some volume in it, not over the top now, but you know, a bit of oomph! These two products have been excellent for doing this for me and I am a major fan of the range. I find if I use the Blow Dry Lotion before I use my BaByliss Big Hair, then I get a real gorgeous volumised finish to my hair!

I adore Jessica nail polishes –love love love. Great for keeping shine and love every colour. I have been painting my nails a lot this month and almost all Jessica colours.

I recently found Lush lip exfoliator and I have fallen in love with it! I am slow with this one as it has been available for some while now, but I’m just so glad I found it, late or not!

So that is it for my loves this month, some newbies and oldies!

What have you been loving this month?

BaByliss Big Hair review...

The faith of my hair has been decided by Babyliss! If you follow me on Twitter, you will have seen tweets expressing my excitement about the new Big Hair styler! When I got it I couldn’t wait to get home and try it out. I had read so many great reviews on it so I was very excited to find out for myself how brilliant it actually was!

I don’t really like when my hair is simply straight; I think it just looks so flat and dull. Whenever I get my hair done, I always love the blow dry because it has volume had and I especially love how nice my fringe looks. But of course I can’t do this myself when I try. It is impossible to manage my hairdryer and a big brush so this product seemed like a god send! After using it I can tell you that that it just what it is – a miracle worker for women everywhere!

It is a really large brush, that rotates in two directions while blow drying your hair at the same time! I divided my hair up into sections and so easily ran the brush through each bit! The finished result is just like you are walking out of a salon! It gave my hair a serious lift at the roots and I chose to very slightly turn my hair in at the bottom – don’t worry, only slightly! Once I was finished I popped a little hair spray in and off I went! The only word of warning I’ll say is don’t do it totally wet hair, let it dry about 80% or so before doing it.

It is an excellent product and is taking pride of place beside my Babyliss Heated Rollers! It is €60 (£40) – an investment for your hair I think! I’ve posted a video on my ‘Videos’ page to show you just how easy it really is to use!

Have you tried the Big Hair styler yet?
