The Hair | The Tangle Teezer

The tangle teezer has been featured on countless beauty blogs but it actually was my hairdresser which made me want get the tangle teezer as she effortlessly detangled my wet knotty hair.

I have the compact one as i wanted to be able to use it on the go and not get it dirty whilst in my bag.

" An innovative hairbrush that is just too busy being fabulous! Cute in size and big on style, it can be popped into your bag and pulled out in a New York minute to reboot hair in seconds. Has a removable cover to protect the patented and innovative teeth from fluff and dirt."

I like to use this when my hair is dry as it feels a lot more gentle on my hair than a normal hairbrush but on my wet hair it worked not as well . I think is is because my hair is curly, thick and long (le sigh.....)   but it still worked better than most hairbrushes and unlike most hairbrushes my hair did not rip the bristles out of the brush (this actually happens).

Over time , however, i found that the bristles are getting softer therefore the brush is not as effective. I still use this on my dry hair but rarely on my hair when it is wet.

I thought it was pretty expensive at £12 but maybe i'm cheap when it comes to hairbrushes, i don't know...

Overall i would only recommend this if you didn't have thick hair as i found that the bristles on my brush wore quicker than my friends brush (she has thin hair)

The Makeup | What I have been wearing lately

Lately i have been embracing the natural look so there is no crazy eyeshadows or liners for me.

I have been keeping it simple with benefit's hello oxygen flawless wow! foundation and estee lauder's double wear concealer and setting it with Rimmel's stay matte powder. Then i always contour with sleek's contour kit.  For the eyes i just use Lancome's Hypnose drama waterproof mascara and i slick on some Elizabeth Arden lipstick in breathless on my lips with some blistex on underneath.

And that's it , not incredibly inventive but it does the job well.

Review | Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer

One product i have been loving lately would be the  Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer.

This offers coverage like no other concealer i have ever tried!  I mainly only use it for dark circles as i already have a great concealer for redness and another for blemishes but it honestly is fantastic for covering up all 3.

I have this in number 9 and it is the perfect colour to hide the dark circle without leaving me washed out.

The only negative thing i would say about this concealer is that it has a really strong scent so if you are sensitive to smells , i wouldn't recommend this.

I don't think it lasts 15 hours as it claims , i can see it fading around the 8-9 hour mark but it is long lasting nevertheless.

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation! | Review

That's quite a mouthful!  This foundation had been on my wishlist for ages but i could never bring myself to buy it, so my mum bought it for Christmas.

  Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow! Foundation  (we are going to call it BHFOWF for short.) is packaged so nicely. It is in a transparent bottle (with a pump ! (I love those) ) with the most beautiful font to have ever existed.  It has the quirkiness of a benefit product but feels a lot more grown up.

It is a light to medium formula and is oil free - good for oily skin types but also hydrates as well - good for fry skin types (get you benefit! Catering for all skin types, are we?) .

It is very runny and took my surprise but it does cover quite well.  It is also buildable.  I personally use my fingers or the RT buffing brush.

I have the shade "i'm all the rage beige", which is a pretty good match if not just a tad too dark.  It isn't very noticeable if i blend extremely well .

It isn't oily at all.  I would say it is dewy although it does tend to slip after around 6 hours of wear so i do set it with powder.

Overall this a pretty good foundation and i would recommend it for people with oily skin who want a dewy not oily foundation.
