Trying to Make That Stubborn Frizz, Ease....

Frizz. I hate it.

Frizzy hair is just not my ideal look even though some people might be able to rock it.

 

Due to having bleached colour, naturally wavy, slightly dry hair; the smallest amount of rain and wind can often lead of stands of frizz from creeping into my fresh hair. I try to only wash my hair twice a week maximum and once a week is usually fine for me (I am a lazy girl).

When blow drying my hair, I like to use John Frieda's Frizz Ease Anti Frizz Primer by applying it on damp hair. I only purchased this recently and have found that actually it has been making a huge difference by eliminating the 'just washed puffy' dance my hair likes to do the day after.

I also have been using the Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream on the front crown section of my hair. I find that even when I'm not styling my hair much I will blow dry the front areas straight so that I at least can look decent.

 

I have used the Flawlessly Straight Conditioner once and then straightened my hair. I found that it locks in lots of shine in my hair so that even if you straighten your hair with a not so great straightener it doesn't look damaged and in fact makes you straightened hair last longer without needing retouches.

 

I would recommend all these product to you if you would like to make your frizz ease (you get the joke?!) and tame your lovely strands. However, adding to much of any of these will weight your hair down because they are quite concentrated products.

 

Let me know what other products you have found works to keep your hair lovely and smooth.

Bannana, Mango Nut Oatmeal

Breakkkfassttting with Priyanka once again!

 

Oh yeah baby (I know you love it).

 

Life couldn't get better with a stack of mangos/ mango puree in my fridge. Literally, all week I have been jumping out of bed (which is very difficult since its pitch black every morning) excited to eat my mango filled breakfasts.

 

Here is a way I have been loving to incorporate my favourite fruit into my first meal.

 

Banana, Mango Nut Oatmeal:

 

-1 Tbsp. Oats (you can cook as much oats if you usually do)

-1 Tbsp. Chia Seeds

- 4-5 Chopped Slices of Mango

- 1 Small Handful of Blueberries

- 1/2 Banana

- 1 Tsp. Pumpkin Seeds

- 1 Tsp. chopped almonds

 

If you want to be really cheeky like I was this week add a heaped Tbs of CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER. I found one from Asda called The Wild Peanut Chocolatey which has honey and no added sugar so therefore is 'clean' to eat.

 

- Cook the oats with chia seeds in the microwave/ hob

- Place the chopped mangos in the centre of the oatmeal and coined banana slices around the edge

- Add you toppings; chocolate peanut butter/ chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds and blueberries on top.

 

There are so many variations of this breakfast you could try. I've had my mango oatmeal with healthy sweet potato brownie chunks on top and oh it's delishhh.....

 

Let me know how you like your morning oatmeal so I can test them out in my own kitchen.

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer

Dark spots? Scars? Acne? 

Trust me, been there done that.

 

I had been searching for a good, high coverage concealer in Boots for a long time and finally gave up hunting for something that clearly doesn't exist. A good concealer in my eyes is difficult to find, especially when you're using it for coverage purposes.

 

Mac seems to be a popular and trust worthy brand in many people's eyes, so I opted to buy Mac's Pro Longwear Concealer and I am glad I made that decision. I put 1 pump of the concealer in a small circular container (which was originally a Mac tester pot) and use my No.7 Concealer Brush dab it onto any places I want to cover up, which is mainly darker scars on my forehead. I have found that layering the product over the area is key to making it look natural, even though this takes a little extra time to do.

 

The concealer is light weight, has brilliant coverage and lasts all day so no touch ups are necessary. A little product goes a long way and I think it is perfect for camouflaging. I haven't used this under my eyes because this shade would be too dark for that purpose and I prefer slightly lighter, natural coverage for the under eye area.

 

Have you tried any other products that cover up pigmentation effectively?
