Tangle Teezer

After much debate I decided to purchase a tangle teezer. I have fairly thick long hair and its always been a nightmare to brush especially when its wet, after seeing a number of blog posts about it and along with the fact my hairdresser has started using one whenever I go, I decided it was worth the £10.

The tangle teezer is designed by Shaun P, with the aim of creating a brush that 'gives pain-free detangling', the brush has plastic bristle of two lengths, this reaches all through my hair when wet, despite being significantly shorter than on most brushes.

From my first use I knew I loved this product. My hair felt so smooth and soft even though I hadn't washed my hair in about a day.

The only problem with this product for me is the fact you can't use it whilst blow-drying due to it being plastic, which means I have to keep my other brush for drying my hair.
Despite this, I would definitely recommend this to anyone with difficult to manage hair!

Lip Care Routine

I've always had really dry and chapped lips, especially in winter, for obvious reasons. I've used lip balm but it  never seems to work. When I found out about Lush Lip Scrub I had to buy it immediately. £5.25 for 25g does seem a bit steep however I know it will last a long time and be worth the price. I was between the Bubblegum and Popcorn flavours, I decided on the Popcorn as this seemed like the best choice.

I use the lip scrub once a day, or twice if my lips are surprisingly bad that day, I then wash it off as I don't like the taste enough to lick it off. This is followed by strawberry flavoured lipbalm from Bodycare, although its not very strawberry-y - followed by The Body Care 100% Natural Lip Roll-on in Orange. I got this in a gift set for christmas - it tastes and smells nice and softens my lips quite well. I have the mint one also but I don't like the tingly feeling on my lips. I also use Blistex Lip Brilliance, which is a tinted lipbalm, its difficult to wear lipgloss or lipstick when my lips are so chapped so tinted lip balm is the solution! I don't think is very moiustizing so I use it after one of my other lipbalms.
