MBFW AU Survival Pack: honourable mentions
A few honourable MBFW survival pack mentions that I didn’t get to into detail this week: Laura Mercier illuminating tinted moisturiser: a tinted moisturiser with strong pearl shimmer, this is my go-to for faking that eight hours of sleep/glass of champagne glow. I dial back the reflective pearl by setting it with a dusting of ...

Blonde Ambition
So if you follow me on Twitter or on Facebook, you’d know that a few months ago I made the jump to blonde hair with all the hilariously steep learning curve that entails. My knowledge of hair has increased ten-fold – despite having a decent art background and should understand how the combination of light ...

Original & Mineral saves the day!
So it’s no secret that I’m a bit of a fan of Original & Mineral. The idea of the brand – that irritants and nasties should be out of haircare without sacrificing on quality and care – is dear to me, particularly now that I’m getting a little older and my skin seems to be ...

The Year of Hair: Atlantis Hair
This is a little out of the ordinary for me, but hey. You don’t have to see my rude face too often on this website, so you can suffer through looking at it one more time! I just wanted to give a quick shoutout to the seriously pro guys at Atlantis Hair in Paddington for ...

The Year of Hair – Wella Professionals Enrich series

The Year of Hair – De Lorenzo Elements Sea Swell Volumising Lotion
Fun fact: I grew up at the beach. In fact I spent most of my formative years living one block back from the beach, tanned and freckled and covered in a fine crust of sea salt for every summers in the late 80′s and onwards. Oh, to be young and stupid and have no understanding ...

The Year of Hair – Original & Mineral The Power Base protein treatment
It’s been a bit slow in the Year of Hair stakes lately. I haven’t indulged my inner Tank Girl and shaved it off – as tempting as that is sometimes – but rather I’ve almost attained that rare state of hair nirvana: healthy, manageable hair. Some of it has been through trial and error, some ...

The Year of Hair – Goldwell Ultra Volume and Rich Repair
The higher the hair, the closer to God. The Year of Hair Part Two: Volume. I do not have thick, lush, bouncy hair. Understatement. If you want a limp, poker-straight curtain of fine hair that parts neatly and severely, I’m your lady. Volume and body, however, are not my watchwords. Let’s just say that I ...

The Year of Hair – Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair
The Year of Hair Part One: Fixing up dry, damaged and crispy ends. I work in brutal air conditioning. I dye my hair. I don’t heat style, but I do advocate being a lazy scrub and letting my hair naturally dry (in itself a nice, pleasant way of saying that I get out of the shower, get distracted and ...
