The Pure Beauty Awards with Smooth hair & award winning Label M rejuvinating oil mist

Hey lovely ladies,

I had a formal event at the Savoy for the Pure Beauty Awards last Thursday and spent ages deliberating what to wear and what to do with my hair.  The pure beauty awards looks at the newest products on the beauty world and are voted on by the public.


For the outfit - I decided on a really simple black dress with a neck feature by Moschino.  Again, this was bought in Italy so can't find a link for its purchase in the UK - but this dress pretty similar in its fit and I love the golden neck detail.

For the hair - I decided to go for long sleek hair, and it was Label M's rejuvinating oil mist which really got rid of the frizz.  I love how it gives such a glossy look and it is becoming such a staple of mine when I decide to wear my hair out and long.

The best thing is, that whilst at the PURE beauty awards, my gorgeous spray which I thought was an undiscovered gem is not actually all that undiscovered.  So much so that whilst I was enjoying the evening this particular hair Oil came up an won silver for Best New Hair Care Product.

This company couldn't have deserved it enough, their products always deliver what they say, and leave hair feeling nourished and looking great!

Well done Label M - you really deserved your PURE beauty award !!

Best October Products

I have a whole tonne of October favourites that I have to share with you.

They are all new products that are new to me, so hopefully they are new to you too! There's nothing quite like finding and falling in love with new products so these 6 items have made the cut and are in my Best Beauty Finds!

Drum roll please.....!

First up is my Favourite of favourites: Label M Therapy Rejuvenating Oil Mist RRP £24.99

This product is an absolute show stopper and an absolute gem.  Yes it is a little pricey, but it is definitely worth investing in a hair oil which really helps rejuvinate dry hair.  It is by Label M, who over the last month have impressed me so much with their range of nourishing hair products.

I particularly have very dry hair so really appreciate such a nourishing oil.  Label M's Therapy Rejuvenating Oil Mist comes out as a light mist which I spray on to freshly washed dry hair.  After running my fingers through it I can immediately feel a difference, so much softer and it keeps it nourished for a couple of days.  I now will not wash my hair without putting this on after - it is a beauty MUST HAVE

THE BEST HAIR OIL IN THE WORLD BY LABEL M

Next up is DKNY BE DELICIOUS Fresh blossom

This has a RRP of £37.00 and is available from Boots, Debenhams etc.

An absolutely stunning fruity perfume that I have only just discovered.  When it comes to perfumes, I only wear, fruity, floral and feminine fragrances - nothing dusky/woody/spicy.

This cute little pink and chrome apple is physically very cute,  but I am absolutely in love with its scent - please go and try a spritz.  It is just like roses - a fabulous gift for a girly girl.

 Next is Nair's Argan Oil Bikini and Underarm Glide on RRP £4.32 from Boots

This is a fabulous little find.  Yes, we have all used Nair before, but this is so handy in the way it is packaged.  You take the lid off and roll the little dial at the bottom and the Nair hair removal cream pops out the top and glides straight on.

It eliminates all the messyness, it is very handy and small and the best part is you can keep re-using it time after time.  Additionally, due to its sturdy package, you are not left with an unsightly half used product but it remains looking the same.

In 5-10 minutes all unwanted hair is gone and lasts far longer than shaving.  A lovely gem amongst my October Best Beauty Finds.

Next is a splurge of a product - Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Candeur 89 available in Debenhams for £24.00

So this is an absolutely gorgeous lipstick / lipgloss.  It is between the too really, it is super glossy so gives a shine finish, without having the stickyness of a lipgloss.  It reminds me of a more expensive version of Kiko's Kiss Balm (which I also love.)  Unlike Kiko, Chanel's Rouge Coco Shines are without perfume and have a more silky finish to them when applied.

The colour is a very light peach with a hint of glitter and perfect if you, like me, adore the nude lip style which is very understated.  So yes, it's a bit of a splurge, but who doesn't love pulling out a Chanel lipstick from their makeup bag!?

Lite + Cycle Bergamot candle $48.00
Quickly - not a makeup find but beautiful for in the house is this Lite + Cycle Bergamot candle.  These candles used refined essential oils and are one of the purest scented candles around.   I think sometimes other brands are too over scented with artificial fragrances so it is really refreshing to find such a pure brand.  The bergamot in the above candle is cold pressed from fruit that is grown in Italy without pesticides.

This gorgeous candle is plain white upon opening and the mini candle on the top can be burnt by itself or left on top.  Though I believe it is just there to give you a scent of it before you buy. There are numerous fragrances available including lavender, sage and Urban Forest definitely has me curious!

So, this gorgeous candle by Lite + Cycle has definitely made it into my Best Finds due to its exclusivity, gorgeous fragrance and ethics.

Lastly is YSL Teint Parfait RRP £50 from Debenhams

Loooooove this foundation.  I only use YSL foundations normally, so was excited to try this different one which is described as more of a highlighter / illuminator.

 This is a super light foundation - more like a tinted moisturiser but with an absolute perfect colour and finish and doesn't give a silver finish like other highlighters do but remains the perfect shade.

 Sometimes tinted moisturises just make you look oily, but this oil-free makeup is just like a light foundation and gives the skin a perfect glow and lovely golden finish.  It is a sheer highlighter which gives a glow to the skin and I think it is perfect for natural or going out days as the finish is absolutely flawless.  There's nothing worse than being caked with makeup, and YSL Teint Parfait completely prevents that from happening!  An incredible beauty find which I am going to keep buying.

Wow, so it turns out I have had a lot of beauty finds which I had to share with you! I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have tried any of them!

Essentials: Art Deco, Label.M and Batiste

This June, there have been three products which have been overwhelmingly used, to the point I would even describe them as Essentials. 

I don't use the word 'essential' lightly either, they say that the average woman has 70 products in her bathroom, but only uses 14 of them daily.  And the three products which I'm going to talk about today, definitely fall into that second category, as not a day goes by without me using them.

They are: 

1) Art Deco - Skin Perfecting Make-up Base

2) Label M Therapy Age defying Radiance Oil

3) Batiste Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo

THE ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS IN ALL THEIR GLORY

REVIEWS

1) Art Deco - Skin Perfecting Make-up Base £16.59 available (here)

This is an incredible light primer which goes under makeup.  I love this product as it is silicone free but smoothly goes onto the skin and minimises pores.  It also keeps make up set in place all day while at the same time providing a more even finish to your makeup - which is of course the main reason I use it every day!

It is definitely a brand to try as it has a nice over all finish compared to other brands such as Benefits POREfessional which can be a bit too thick.

2) Label M Therapy Age defying Radiance Oil £25.50 available from Look Fantastic

As you can see there is only about a third left of this product.

I don't know where to start on this product, as there are so many reasons to love it.   Firstly, the smell is divine, which is a must have with a finishing hair product.

Secondly, it smooths frizz without leaving any greasy residue at all.  I use this product after blow drying to give my hair a silky feel, and it absolutely does that nourishing the hair completely, so it looks and feels great.

Thirdly, this product lasts months, even if you use it every day like me.  It just takes one small push of serum to work through the whole hair.  I absolutely would recommend all girls to try this miracle Radiance Oil.

Incidently this product is from Look Fantastic - a heavenly website with a really great variety of beauty must haves which you don't find on the highstreet and has a great range of high quality products.

3)  Batiste Dry Shampoo Heavenly Volume £3.99 from Boots and Superdrug 

Ok, I might not use this every day but it definitely is a hair essential.  This is the perfect rescue remedy if your hair is looking limp and needs a real pick-me-up.

This product has the dual purpose of boosting and volumising the hair as well as making grease disappear.  An absolute handbag must have.

So that's my round up of my absolute 3 essential products...and a picture of me today using all three!

Have you tried any of these products, what do you think of them?

Super shiny sleek hair with Label M Therapy Age-Defying Radiance Oil

Good Afternoon my ladies, 

This week I've been using Label M Therapy Age-defying radiance oil, and all I can do is state from the outset is that I give 5/5 stars! 

Stronger hair or shinier hair?

Both!! I have been heat damaging my hair a lot recently as I had ran out of hair protector (such a sin!) so my hair had been really fragile, delicate and lifeless. This ultra nourishing oil really brought life and vitality back to my dry hair and did so without making it greasy.  It no longer felt brittle, but actually felt healthy and fairly strong.  

 Best of all it left it with incredible shine which you can see in the pictures.  (There's a bit of an overload of pictures, but I wanted to show how shiny it came out)

What's Label M Therapy Age defying radiance Oil  like compared to other oils?

I've used many oils before, but this Therapy Age defying radiance oil seemed to de-tangle, strengthen and restore my hair as well as making it shiny and sleek.  Other oils  have just made my hair greasy, and others have managed to make it shiner, but this REALLY is the only one which makes it feel healthier and restored as well.  I think it's down to the age-defence technology as this product really focuses on restoring your hair back to life.

Add caption

I can say with my whole heart I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Label M oil, and I feel like its helping to restore my hair as well as making it sleek and shiny.  It costs £25.50 but I would say it is definitely worth the buck - especially if you have long / damaged hair that needs some good tlc.  Also, you only need a few drops so I reckon this product could easily last a year.

Super sleek hair with Label M Therapy Age-defying radiance Oil

Label M Therapy Age defying radiance Oil is available (here) from Look Fantastic and is an absolute must-have for girls looking for a product to look after their hair!

Label.M Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hello my beauties!!

You've probably seen from my previous posts that having big, thick healthy hair is very important to me.  Especially because it's so long, it's easy to loose volume as the weight pulls it down.  This is why I was super excited to try out the new Label.M thickening shampoo and conditioner.

On first impact, I absolutely love the packaging that is perfect for a girly bathroom. The product itself looks expensive with its sleek shape, beautiful logo and dark pink colour.  It comes in a strong solid cylindrical bottle with an easy lid that you press to open to squeeze out the product.  On a more practical note, the product is easy to use with a lid that you press to release the product.

Label.M Thickening Shanpoo and Conditioner

Did it thicken?

Yes.  The Label.M Thickening shampoo and conditioner didn't disappoint and delivered what it says on the tin and gave plumped up volume.  Applying the products themselves on wet hair felt like most other shampoos and conditioners, but when I was blowdrying after I could see there was a lot more volume in my roots which I am normally lacking.   Well done Label.M!

Results: Label.M Thickening Shanpoo and Conditioner

What about frizz!?

One of the pros of this product is that despite being for thickening, it still left my hair feeling sleek and smooth and not brittle.  This is a hugely important factor for me as my hair is so dry and frizzy.  This thickening duo seemed to not only give me thicker hair, but didn't leave  me with frizz which was what I was afraid of!

Any negatives?

I'm a bit funny with smell, I like my hair products to smell super fruity and fragrant whereas this smells like a professional haircare product...which it is.  It isn't a bad smell, but if I was to improve on this product, I'd like it to smell less 'salon fresh'. But that's probably just me being picky!

But on the whole, I would definitely recommend the Label.M Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner.  I think it would work wonders on fine hair as it worked great on my hair which is already fairly thick.  I love the extra volume it provided though and would definitely purchase in the future!
