ProBlo CurlME Review

The CurlME is a blow dry brush set that gives you the salon blow dry look at home, it allows you to dry and set your hair at the same time perfect for those special days and an everyday look. I put the CurlMe* to the test to see how it works on my medium and layered hair.

What's Included? 

> 6 Brush Barrels

> 6 Clips

>  Handle

>Travel Bag

How Does It Work? 

> You want to part dry your hair, so it about 60% dry

>Then you want to section your hair, by splitting into 6 sections it will make the entire process easier as there are 6 barrels. Use the clips included to section your hair and then attach the first barrel to the handle.

> Blow dry that section of the hair by pulling down from the root to the end just like your would with a normal brush

> Take that same section of hair and wrap it around the barrel once again, this time around you want to keep it wrapped up and use the clips to hold it in place

>Repeat the last two steps until all sections of your hair is up and secure and then leave your hair to cool down. Around 25 minutes should do it justice

>Once cooled down, remove the barrels in a upwards motion and ta-da! You should be left with a bouncy blow dry just like you have from the hairdressers. 

The Results

Using the set was really easy and I watched this video on their YouTube channel to see how to do it correctly and thank god I did because I wouldn't know! The barrels look huge, but they fit on my hair and I managed to create six sections to put my hair up, it did feel really loose at first and this scared me as I didn't want it to fall out but they stayed in place for about 30 minutes before I removed them. 

I wasn't really expecting much from these brushes as I have had hair that is stubborn my entire life! 

It didn't curl my hair at all, i presume because of the length/layers? But what it did do was add a huge amount of volume into my hair and gave it a lovely bounce, just like a bob should have.

ProBlo has given my hair the boost that it so badly needed. If you are a girl that wants gorgeous hair instantly, then this is for you!  The travel bag that comes included in the set makes it easy to store away and bring along with you when you travel.

I have also started to use just the one barrel on the holder for when i normally dry my hair on a everyday basis. Works just as well not clipping it up. Overall, I am very very impressed with how much my hair routine has changed and there has been no need to use a bunch of products - amazing!

Aloha UltraLite Suncare

Aloha is a British brand that supplies you with all sun protection needs.From SPF8 to SPF50 you will be covered with their wide range of products that include lotions, children's sun protection and aftersun. Their newest range is a UltraLite range and in this post I will be reviewing the Sun Lotion*.

What Makes Aloha UltraLite Different? 

Well, this is what I was thinking as well. The UltraLite range has been developed to give you protection from the sun along with it feeling amazing on the skin. As soon as it is applied to the skin it will absorb quickly to leave it dry-to-touch and the best part? No greasiness.

As you can see from the image above the sun lotion is a very thick consistency and this worried me at first because surely non-greasy lotions shouldn't be this thick. Don't be alarmed however, once you apply it to the skin and rub it in then it disappears slowly and doesn't feel as thick. 

It sinks into the skin really quickly, on my dark skin leaves a white sheen so I know where I have applied it but after that goes and I am left with no feeling of lotion at all! 

I went with the SPF50 because in the sun no matter how strong it is, I prefer to be fully protected rather than only half/a little bit. The type of sun care you go for is up to you, the factor you get is also up to you but please remember your sun care when on holiday or even out in the sun. It is very important to stay protected and be aware of the consequences if you aren't.

The UltraLite range features an SPF 8, 15, 25 and 30 and 50. There is also a range for kids which contains a light blue shade to make it even easier to see where cream has been applied - making applying lotion fun! 

Aloha UltraLite is priced from £2.99 (250ml) and is available in Savers stores nationwide.

Gladskin Acne Review

Ergh acne, what a horrible word but something that I have to live with and have started to cope with, changing my diet, looking after myself and the most important one of all my skincare has become very important to me. For the past few weeks I have testing out the Gladskin Acne Gel* +  Daily Care Cream* to see how they work and what benefits they have.

Daily Care Cream (30ML - 14.95 50ML 19.95)

I am terrible at applying moisturiser to my skin and the main reason is because a lot of them feel greasy. When it came to testing this care cream I didn't have very high hopes, but the texture of this cream isn't greasy at all and sinks into the skin to give you a nice base for your makeup/other skincare products. All Gladskin products are made for sensitive skin, paraben and perfume free makes them great for all skin types no matter what you are. 

Acne Gel (30ML - 24.50 50ML - 39.50)

I have never used a spot treatment like this acne gel, you don't apply it last or on top of everything instead you apply it first, leave it for 5-10 minutes and then apply your creams on top, the gel can be removed if you want but by the time is up the gel disappears. The experience of using this was very weird, but I have got used to it and two weeks after using it I have seen an immediate difference in my acne overall, mainly on my forehead. It is recommend to use this twice a day, but I forget most of the time and just used it at night - perfectly fine! The only thing I don't like about this gel is the consistency. I expected a 'gel' to be much more thicker, yet this is runny. After 10 minutes of applying however it becomes like a peel, and you can remove it?! Very weird but it works! 

The best thing about both these products is the pump on the bottles! It makes applying them easy and fun as well. I love that within just two weeks of using these products as a pair I have seen a difference in my skin. My acne has reduced not disappeared but I guess that is something that takes time to happen. I love that Gladskin market these products together, knowing what to use and when.

Sephora NARS Birthday Gift

I turned 18 last month and I am not even lying when I tell you that getting emails around/on my birthday offering me a special birthday treat gets me excited. This year one from Sephora got me really giddy, and I wasn't even expecting it! 

Sephora now ships to the UK and since the news broke out a while back I signed up to their mailer but had no idea what I was letting myself in for apart from the odd email about their latest products. Then on the morning of the big day I got an email saying that my NARS birthday gift was waiting for me! How could I resist a birthday gift from NARS? 

Be warned you can't just claim the gift you have to put actually buy something and I wanted to get the 'cheapest' yet nicest item possible so that the cost of shipping didn't scare me as much. I opted for a matte lip cream which is yet to be used, so have a look out for that very soon. I didn't pay for express delivery just the normal one and it cost me £10 on top of the lip creme that I had to buy in order to get the birthday gift, all I kept thinking was 'do it for the NARS Parie'. 

About a week later it turned up and I have fallen in love with both pencils ever since! When you hear people rave about the lip pencils from NARS they are not lying about how amazing they are, the formula, the colour pay off and the look of them is just luxurious. The lip pencils are only mini, but considering that it is a free gift I am not complaining in the slightest. I believe that they change the gift every year, so if you have a birthday in the next 5 months then you are in luck and can sign up to receive this gift, if your birthday has passed let's hope for an amazing gift next year as well!

Are there any birthday mailers that I need to sign up to for next year?
