Review: Toni & Guy Creative Texturising Glue

Happy Sunday!! Today I will be reviewing Toni & Guy Creative Texturising Glue*!! I'm sure you all know how important hairstyles are, not only they do improve your look it also helps with improving self-esteem. If I'm feeling down, I always head straight to my hairdresser and do something different. It always cheers me up! I was introduced to Toni & Guy Texturising Glue which gives you the edgy new look to style up your new cut. I got B (my hubby) to trial this product because my hair is too long to do anything with it lol

According to Toni & Guy "Contours and separates layers for firm hold whilst adding texture. Perfect for fringes, textured lengths or layers. Work product through dry or towel-dried hair with fingers and spread from root to tip".

Additional info:

• Made in USA
• RRP $15.99
• Availability: Woolworths, Coles, Priceline and Big W

Application: Squirt a bit of product onto fingers and work through hair from root to tip.

What he likes:

• Hair looks soft but firm when you touch it
• Natural looking
• Hair moulds easily to how you want to style it
• A little product is sufficient
• Doesn't make your hair sticky and easy to wash off
• Strong hold
• Lovely scent

Overall: B says this is a good product, he was surprised at how this creamy textured product can hold so well. To put this product to the test, B styled his hair and he went to play tennis. Two hours later, his hair was the same as when he left the apartment. B gives it a thumbs up, if you have short hair and want something that has a decent hold, definitely try this out!

What hair styling products do you use?

Review: Necessity Fixaderm 100% Natural Skin Repair

I dunno about you but I quite enjoy hot showers but I was reading that if you take long showers it softens and removes the protective oils that our skin naturally produces. So this explains why my back is so dry and patchy. Some days are worse than others. Sometimes when I'm asleep at night, im scratching like crazy. Since I can't control the itching at night, it leaves me with scars. I was received an email asking if I wanted to try Necessity Fixaderm*. I read through the benefits and thought I should give it a go on my itchy back lol 

According to Necessity "Fixaderm is made from the finest quality essential and plant oils. The blend of 11 oils has been tested and refined over several years, resulting in a unique formula that may alleviate skin discomfort, help prevent infection and help promote healing. The five active oils, Calendula, Lavender, Patchouli, Rosehip, and Tea Tree are well known for relieving a range of skin problems. These active oils interact with the six excipient oils, Almond, Camellia, Jojoba, Evening Primrose, Niaouli, and Rosewood to provide a comfortable skin repair solution for damage caused by a wide range of conditions."

Necessity Fixaderm may help:

• Relieve itching, discomfort and may promote healing for cuts, and insect bites
• Clear up range of skin problems including rashes, prickly heat, tinea, nail infections
• Keep skin clear of infections
• Provide immediate relief and may promote healing of minor burns and sunburns
• Reduce the appearance of stretchmarks and scars
• Restore sun-damage skin
• Clear up dermatitis

Application: I apply it straight out of the shower because I believe its the best time for your skin to absorb the oils. I use about 4-5 drops directly from the bottle and rub it onto my back (try to reach as far back as I can lol)

Additional info:

• Made in Australia
• RRP $14.95 AUD for 30ml
• Availability: Health stores and chemist or online www.necessity.net.au 

What I like:

• Non-greasy
• 100% natural no chemicals
• Reduce itchiness
• Reduces the appearance of my scars
• The scent smells good
• Great price 
• Design of the bottle - If you look at my photo, it looks like it's reversed but it actually quite a nifty design - it stops bacteria from getting inside and it also prevent spills

Overall: I have tried this product on my back and 1 pimple. I had this weird acne thing a week ago and it was hurting like anything so I thought I would rub some fixaderm on it, the next morning it was painless and it even shrunk a bit!! What I love about this product is that it has this cool and calming effect on your skin. I would buy this once my current bottle runs out. It's a handy little bottle to have around the house, never know when you're going to need it.

Thanks for reading =)

Review: Bloggy Personal Planner

A month ago, the awesome peeps at Personal-Planner asked if I wanted to create my own customised planner*, seriously who wouldn't want a personalised planner? Timing was good too because I recently went back to studying. 

This site is great for creating customised planner. The designing process is so easy and it takes you through step by step in creating the look you want and need.

You can select different sizes for your planner from small to large and now they recently added A5. I chose the A5 because it's perfect size for the handbag. I made pretty much everything pink. It comes with a ruler and plastic sleeve which I'm currently using it to store my business cards.

Then you select the way you want the pages to look e.g date layout, colour schemes, todo list, gym workout. The best feature would be that you can add birthdays and anniversaries. An even niftier option is you can import it straight from facebook.

Delivery time took about 2 weeks, it came exactly how I expected it. The paper quality is great, thick and durable makes writing on it very easy. Overall, I am very happy with this planner and would love to order another one next year.

If you guys are interested in creating your own planner or notebook, Personal-Planner has offered a coupon code. Use D-GRNT-RUXI for 20% off your order, expires on the 14th of September so get in quick!!!

Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash & Moisteriser

This week is Eczema Awareness Week. The aim is to raise awareness of eczema and as a source of help and support for those affected. Eczema affects one in three Australian at some point in their lives (mostly commonly occurring in infants). Symptoms of Eczema are itchy skin, reoccuring rash, thick skin and lesions.

Currently there is no cure for ezcema but it can be kept under control by treatment and maintaining a daily skin care routine. Treatment include tropical corticoteroids, antihistamines and antibiotics. It is also important to find a good soap and moisturiser for eczema prone skin.

Cetaphil Restoraderm skin restoring body wash* and moisteriser* work together to improve skin hydration and maintain skin barrier integrity in children and adults.

The body wash is fragrance free and soap free which helps with the skins natural barrier and restores moister back to dry skin. The body moisturiser is the perfect compliment to the body wash. It is a light, creamy and non-greasy moisteriser which helps to moisturise very dry, itchy and sensitive skin. Because it is non-greasy, it will absorb quickly into the skin leaving it soft and soothed. By using these products, it doesn't guarantee that dry itchy skin will completely disappear, it will only lessen the severity.

Additional info:

• Price: 
• Body wash $19.99 (295ml)
• Moisturiser $25.99 (295ml)
• Availability: Pharmacies and large retailers 

Do you or know anyone who suffers from Eczema? 

Thanks for reading =)
