salt

(l'oreal)

tv ad's normally don't work on me, but i've been after a super-commercial salt spray forever and combining this fact with the beautiful barbara palvin totes got my attention this evening. i've had this one by label m until it ran out (like 8 months ago) and then just kind of hoped i could rely on the beach after that (i hate spending money on beauty stuff. literally pains me). anyway, the l'oreal matt & messy salt spray is a bargainous £3.56 compared to my previous £12.95 product. i think i might even do a beauty review on it - i'm that excited.

worth it

(rahua)

um so i swear by this stuff. i randomly went to the launch at liberty's last summer (was really very random) and am quite the pessimist when it comes to beauty shiz (my brother is a science phd-er and is literally baffled at the made up words beauty brands use to sell their jazzed up liquid plastic) so i was not really expecting anything from this brand. i guess they had me when i got my first scone, but yes, this stuff actually works. it is organic, so it doesn't coat your hair in plastic (like all/most other shampoos and conditioners) and works on all hair types (i'm not messing wit you fo sho) and it does what you wish your hair would. i have long, thin (at one stage i swear i was balding) hair that i want to feel and look like it is thick and not weighed down and this stuff actually does it. without me having to stick my hair through a diffuser. it would work on thick hair (the girl i went to the launch with had thick, curly, unruly hair she wanted tamed - she too became a convert. as did her boyfriend) and literally any hair type (even afro and is apparently amazing for colour treated hair). the bonus is that you are not supposed to use lots of it, around a 10 pence piece sized blob and you are supposed to massage it properly into your hair, and thoroughly wash it out. i've still got the same bottles that i had from the launch and have been rationing it for as long as possible as it is way more expensive than any of the other rubbish i used to use. regardless, it makes my hair feel amazeballs and i totes recommend it.

summer loving

(kate moss for longchamp: faraway 2011)

i've never been a mega kate fan, but this video for longchamps collaboration with her in their summer '11 "faraway" collection is very dreamy and that fringe is to die with her feline eyes peeking out... ultimate summer babe.

yay the mane has been attacked successfully with guidance to trust taylor taylor from lovely sally (who is a hub of wonderful recommendations, she will be sharing many of them i promise). it is very chilly in london so bear is on my head (which was a delightful christmas present from a lovely friend of mine).

still awaiting (funds to pay for) haircut day. in the mean time, i have found another girl crush of mine in the form of natasha poly sporting hot locks at emilio pucci (i think pucci hair does it for me). the pout, the cheekbones... sigh.

hairy beast

the mane has not been touched for 5 months as hairdressers never seem to create the vision i had expected, so i just kind of don't ever get it cut and roll it all up on top of my head. sally has promised me a hair cut date and it would be lovely if i walked out of the hairdressers and looked like this. even slightly. magdalena is just flawless. major girl crush.
