Blondi Rae at Earth Salon . . .

Here I am  . . . Oxford Circus . . .Soaking wet . . . marching like a storm trooper in the rain . . rushing to get myself to the Blondi Rae and Earth Hairdressing event as I was DETERMINED for once not to be late (and my efforts paid off *yaaay me*). Despite the low turn out due to the gale force wind and rain, it was a great event, very cosy and highly informative.

 When I walked in to Earth Salon, Blondi Rae was in the middle of filming her online video demonstration on her new hair colour remover, turning the models hair from a Cheryl Cole red, back to her natural brunette colour (and I really wish I remembered to pull out my camera while I was there because the results where amazing) The Blondi Rae Colour Remover is really one of a kind, because it acts more like a conditioning treatement than a remover *that's not to say it does not do its job*, it does what it's meant to and even better can leave your hair in a better condition than when you sat in the stylist's chair. It is a peroxide-free treatment so there is no burning . . . no funny smells . . .and no damage!!!!

Blondi Rae really had the gift of gab, because I don't know how she managed to keep finding this to say for the duration of the video, it was very interesting to watch her do it. Click here to check her out in action

At the moment, Blondi Rae Products are for professional use only, but once its not . .  .I will be the first person in the queue to snap up these bad boys!!!!

It's all about the Honey . . .

 

 

This is numuero uno of my blog reviews on the samples I've recieved from Earth's hairdressing beauty event. This sample is from the Melvita range, which is an organic UK brand that uses honey (from their hives), roses and other gentle, organic ingredients to create an animal-cruelty free beauty range that works.

Now I won't ever review a product I have not actually used, but as I've had a facial with these products and have also used these products over the weekend, I think I've got the hang of them

Cleansing Miscellar Water

Product

Cleansing Miscellar Water (RRP £20) - Now if I hadn't used this product in my facial, I really don't think I would have known exactly what to do with it, or what it was for.

Over the week, I've been using this as a toner and a replacement for my make up wipes (which I can't find due to moving) and I think it actually works quite well. It's very light and I haven't reacted to it which is an added bonus

Rose Nectar Day Cream (RRP £24) 

I don't have anything amazing to say about the day-cream to be honest, after all its just a cream not a miracle in a bottle. It does what it is supposed to and has the added bonus of smelling like roses

Rose Nectar Day Cream

Packaging

I love the packaging for this line because it is so clean and simple, and does not use any hyper active colours. I think in this day and age, minimal packaging says alot about the company values and their brand, as it is not trying to overwhelm the consumer and drown us with bright energetic colours loool

Overall Rating - 3 stars

I'm combining the facial score and the sample score in this rating, and I would have given it a much higher rating but the facial left my skin too shiny, and also left a waxy residue on my face which bugged me, because everytime I rubbed my face something peeled off!!! I'm not sure exaclty which of their products did this but I'm not going to degrade their whole line because of this, as my face did feel great (waxy residue aside). I absolutely love the Cleansing water and I'm going to purchase a full size product. I don't have much to say abut the rose day cream only because I don't fancy the smell of roses and I don't suffer from dry skin so I tend not to use day creams normally and honestly speaking this product won't make me start now

A evening on the town with 'Earth' . . . .

Joy from Joytodworld.blogspot.com and I went to my first bloggers event, at Earth Salon, for a night of pampering, sushi, eyebrow threading, massages, facials and hair consultations. As Earth Salon has beauty treatments and hair stylists which caters to both European and Afro hair, it was a really great event that everyone could benefit from.

Forgot my camera, so only took one clear picture of the night

 I had a skin consultation (FYI I have normal and clear skin) and a facial, and it felt absolutely fantastic!! I loved the way the Melvita products felt on my skin, and if I ever decided to employ a beauty regime that includes more that makeup removing wipes, I would definetly add a few of these products into the regime
