Remington Touch Control Hair Clipper

If there is one time of the year I dread buying presents for, it's fathers day. From my personal experience the male human race are extremely hard to buy for - fussy, don't "need" anything or just plain don't have a clue, very different compared to us ladies. However, that's until I come across this handy hair grooming tool from Remington. It's a versatile, convenient and looks rather swish If I do say so myself. Obviously this doesn't fit to my criteria, so I grabbed my good friend Sam to give it a go. Lets see what he thinks.

"I usually steer away from these kind of tools for a number of reasons. 1. I seem to have it in my head they are only for men with short hair, 2. They look super confusing, 3. From friends experiences, they are hard to use." He had a go and I watched silently in anticipation (they are so difficult to read), and the result was great. This is his final verdict - "I'm really impressed and shocked at how easy it is to use, I like that you can use it for your hair and beard, but on this occasion I just used it on my hair". 

I was pretty impressed myself about the fact that you can use it on hair as short as 4mm to 42mm. It also has different speeds and is touch control, did I forget to mention that? Pretty cool, eh. I must also add that he had a dodgy hair cut last week, and this is now resolved. He's a happy boy.

So, voila! There you have it, a sleek, easy to use, convenient and versatile hair grooming tool for men. Making it perfect for Fathers Day. You can buy this from Boots or directly from the Remington site. If you do get it from the Remington site you can get 30% off by using the code TCSAVE.

Holiday Beauty On The Mind...

My scorching summer holiday is soon approaching and typically beauty has been on my mind. It's time to start preparing by upping the SPF game, bagging lighter formulas, skin soothers, extra hydrating properties and cooling heros. 

Boots Lets Make It Happen

To kick start 2013 Boots have launched a new campaign called "Boots Lets Make It Happen" - now, I'm pretty sure many of you reading this have made countless promises to yourself. Whether that be to start eating healthy, taking care of your skin or quit smoking - it's always hard to make changes and that's why Boots have launched this campaign. They want to support everyone who is making a change for 2013, encouraging them to take action with lifestyle changes and meet personal goals.

I've just updated my pinterest and created a new board called #bootsmakeithappen - I love the campaign and thought that by creating a board with all of my inspirations, it will help me to acheive and go for certain looks that I would usually shy away from. You can take a look at my #bootsmakeithappen board here. It's full of makeup looks I want to try, healthy eating along with some skincare activities I would like to introduce into my routine.

If you've made your own Pinterest board full of your #bootsmakeithappen inspirations then I would love to see it, please share in a comment below!

Decongest, brighten, hydrate

Ren Invisible Pores Detox Mask, *Elemental Herbology Facial Glow, *Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Rose Face Mask

There comes that certain time every now and then, where my skin is just ugh. It's a bit lack lustre, congested, un-even and needs the full works to chirp it up a bit. Usually, this much hated phase happens every couple of weeks, but thankfully, I've conjured up three perfect products. Each to their own, however they are all similar in a way of being quite gentle. Above all of that they work very well together to cater to my skins needs.

The first product on the agenda is the Ren Invisible Pores Detox Mask - now, firsts things first, this isn't going to make your pores disappear. However, it does an excellent job in de-congesting my skin. Making it feel much lighter and clearer. This is a brilliant option if you have sensitive skin, and especially whilst induldging in an activity like this because it's very gentle and won't irritate your skin, making it ideal if you're using a number of products in a short space of time.

The next step is to brighten, let me introduce the Elemental Herbology Facial Glow. I've spoken more about this beauty here, but in a nutshell - it offers a more gentle exfoliation, but with the same effectiveness as a more intense product, think Alpha H Liquid Gold. Massaging this into my skin and leaving on for 5-10 minutes (depending on the sensitivity of your skin) results waking up the next morning with a glowing complexion. Using this weekly has also really helped to fade some stubburn acne scars.

After detoxing my skin and loading it with acidic exfoliating ingredients, it's time to add some moisture. Product of choice? The Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Rose Face Mask. There are a number of ways you can use it, simply apply a layer and leave on for 10 minutes, or if you want to take it to the next level, leave it on over night. Both result in a hydrated, plump and bright skin. I also love the fact that it's clear, making it a possible contender for my holiday beauty bag.
